How It All Goes Down

  • A bag explodes within the Broken Drum, showering gold coins everywhere.
  • Withel warns everyone it's a trap and not to move, stopping "[t]hree score men and a dozen trolls" in "mid-grope" (1.20.3).
  • Then the two troll guards slam open the door for a third time, drop the heavy bar to lock it, and beat feet downstairs.
  • Lastly, Luggage busts through the door, splintering the wood everywhere.
  • Rincewind appears in the doorframe and throws another gold grenade.
