Hey, good thinking SR47…now everyone trapped in the Initiation room just has to wait a half-hour for the doors to open.
Guess I’ll pass the time by watching some tube…

*"…eporting live from the town of Wherever The Hell They Landed, where it appears a wormhole has opened up in the fabric of existence, dumping thousands of gallons of water on the town square.
Local militia leaders are taking up arms, blaming the rift on the mysterious SDMB Initiation Complex located four miles outside of town. I’ve spoken to one local leader who has vowed to ‘organize and arm every man, woman and child in town to march across the Vale and put an end to the freakishness that goes on there’.""*
Well, yes, the rear base of the complex butts up against the vale (hence the cave-like door), but the roof of the complex juts well above the outcroppings that make up the vale walls…
Sheesh! It’s like you’ve never even actually looked at this place from the outside!
But… but… the Complex was completely hidden from the Vale when I first saw it; only the door was visible. And there was the time someone closed the Vale door and I reopened it and there was just another basement room. What would have been visible through the door from the Vale side at that time, I wonder?
I don’t think the Complex was part of the same universe as the Vale at first… this multi-dimensional stuff is so confusing. I repeat:
Have you been playing around with the Fabric of Space-Time again???
We’re all still in the other initiation room (not the one with the squids and such–thank Og–but the other one down the corridor), waiting for the doors to open…
Aha! I can answer that one, My Tavern. I opened up the door one day and there was a Vale there that I had never seen before, so I just stepped through for a quick peek. Later I tried to go home opened the door again and found myself at the foot of a set of stairs that led up to here.
Ah, Kythereia we are in the Complex… and so is something that used to be under my skirt… I mean the sheet that I’m using as a skirt… It started up, ducked behind Regallag and has now dissapeared again.
Ummm, folks? Let’s focus here – the “shadowy thing”? That’s just Gus. Don’t trap him in a corner, and he won’t bite. The bigger issue should be the WTHTL Militia that is advancing through the Vale and heading this way.
Now, if they’re looking to storm this place, they’ll have to come in through the Vale door. If they were to arrive at nightfall, then a good bunch of 'em would wind up being C.H.U.D. chow…but with an expected arrival time of two hours from now, and it being mid-day, that idea is out (C.H.U.D.s can’t abide by light).
Anyone wanna come up with an idea on how to delay the militia for a few hours, so they arrive after nightfall?
We could dig a trench around the whole- wait 2 hours? Nvermind that wouldn’t work. I’ve got it! Hal, use the trebouchet to launch tons and tons of potato salad at them! They’ll be so busy eating it, they won’t be able to attack!
What the &?#) are you on about, Hal? If it wasn’t for your damned selfish games, we wouldn’t–nay, you wouldn’t–have this problem!
You sent the squcks down there. You sent the squiligators down there just when things were starting to calm down. You made it a war zone. You wrecked the lives of all those villagers.
Hal, you deserve to have your Complex invaded. Maybe they can pick up a few things and make a bit of profit.
