You know what bothers me about this story arc (well, besides a billion other things)? Gabe was introduced as a bat expert and veteran caver ... but he keeps getting stuck with the role of Guy Who Asks Dumb Questions to Facilitate Exposition.

It's pretty simple. Get your bamboo and cut it into sections of equal length and sharpen one end of the sections to a point. You want to get it as sharp as is possible. Once you've done that, rotate the tips over a small fire until it starts to turn black, and remove. It should be sufficiently hardened and hold a point for a while.

If you want to be fancy, mount the sticks on a plate and set in a pit covered with leaf litter. If you're lazy, just dig a hole, push the sticks into the ground and cover as before.

Before covering, if you can, wipe feces on the end of the spikes. It'll poison their blood and ensure a painful death.

Yeah I'm far from an expert caver but it seems to me they have so far handled nearly every danger and obstacle in this trip through the caves in just about the worst possible way. They should definitely have stopped and got out at that sinkhole with the plane I still don't understand why they didn't.

And after all this is done there are still the human traffickers to deal with, which I for one had completely forgotten about until just now.

Some nonsense about how the walls of the sinkhole were concave, conveniently ignoring both that there was an inexplicable wrecked plane in the middle of it (which presumably had all kinds of metal bits and wire and struts they could've tried improvising climbing equipment out of), and that this storyline started with shirtless Mark free-climbing a mountain solo.

Then again, if they had climbed out, they wouldn't have found the GYPSUM MOTHERLODE or the underground river that I assume leads to a sahuagin temple (or just pours down into the Underdark). If Mark can punch a few more monsters, he'll be a level 4 nature journalist!
