UTL S1E27: Buttery Donner

On this Episode of Under the Library:

After Beau's showdown with Jack Crabbe, he takes 4 of Jaker's pills and rests in the wagon. In the meantime, Jaker has awakened. He is no longer bleeding and now able to stand.

Using the remaining three horses, the group follows Jack Crabbe's tracks through the bear trap field and onto a path. It eventually intersects with the original path, and they are once again headed towards the presumed camp of women and children.   Philip scans the area with binoculars and sees some small caves in the distance. At the same time, Harold notices a split in the trail. It turns out to be a detour that avoids some bear traps, and it seems that the trail has been intentionally booby trapped.    They ride toward the caves and reach the base of the plateau. Since the wagon can't make the steep journey, Philip and Oak Tree check out the caves while the others wait below. The first cave is small yet well used, and Oak Tree finds a small tunnel in the back.    Philip enters the tunnel but gets stuck. He grabs butter from his pack in the wagon to lubricate himself, strips down, and prepares for a second attempt. This time he slips right through, crawls up a gradual incline, and arrives at the other end of the tunnel. He's on the other side of the plateau, looking out onto a camp below. A moment later, the roof of the tunnel behind him collapses.   Two kids come up the trail towards Philip. Seeing his face sticking out of the hillside, they scream. One trips and falls off the side, landing on a tent, and the other starts to run. Philip pursues, but also trips and falls down the hill, landing in a pile of hay and breaking his leg.    In the meantime, the rest of the party has made their way up to the cave, and Oak Tree updates them on Phil's disappearance. As the session ends, we discuss what to do about Philip's predicament. ------------------------
