King (After animating Zoey Minechanel):
"I hope this doesn't awaken anything inside me"

After a quick rest, the group examines the mine carts and determines they are in good working order. Ubba volunteers to determine how they operate and after a brief but harmless mishap with the "go" lever, Bargle joins him atop his rock laden mine-cart and they tear ass down the track. While Alexander and Enoch are emptying their cart of rocks and aligning it to the track, King enchants his mine-cart with animate object, but the tables are soon turned as he is in fact enchanted by Zooey Minechanel

With Ubba leaning against the acceleration lever like a vagrant against a street pole, he and Bargle somehow manage to navigate several rock falls and turns by throwing themselves around the cart with varying levels of success. In an effort to reduce the weight of the cart Bargle discards the "extra" lever in the cart. After a rough turn they are pelted with rocks by several Kobolds, which promptly vanish in a puff of fiery death. Several small spiders and their webs meet a similar fate.

King and Zooey navigate the cave with much more ease. Zooey is familiar with the layout and is able to simply step over several obstacles. She and King take an earlier turn that appears to be a shorter route in hopes of catching up with their compatriots. They soon pass a wide tunnel where the tracks run parallel but there is no merge point. King frantically pics the middle track in an upcoming fork and insults a passing kobold to death in frustration. Around an upcoming bed, King notices a large spider illuminated by a flaming javelin

Alexander and Enoch are desperately trying to catch up with the rest of their party. Between Enochs strength and Alexanders agility they are able to navigate the tunnels with speed and precision. Noticing some dead kobolds on an broken overpass they determine their friends had gone that way. They tuck and roll out of the mine-cart and scale the framework of the overpass. They beat feet down the tunnel hoping to catch up with the rest of the party.

Ubba slays the last spider as they round the corner. Bargle sees Zooey and King, and after a mischievous "Do you trust me?", banishes the King and Zooey allowing them to pass by unharmed. Disoriented from the near collision Bargle and Ubba are unable to round the corner and derail into the wall, smashing the mine-cart and breaking Bargles concentration. King and Zooey reappear just in time to see the now empty mine-cart of Alexander and Enoch round the bend at full speed. King enlarges Zooey so she is able to absorb the impact with little damage, the other cart is obliterated on impact. The group takes a few moments to get themselves together and mourn the apparent loss of their friends Enoch and Alexander before piling into Zooey and heading down the track.

Alexander and Enoch are now running at a full sprint with Zooey Minechanel and her passengers hot on their heals. Cries of "we ain't afraid of no ghosts" echo throughout the tunnel system. Just in the nick of time Alexander and Enoch clear the mouth of the tunnel to reveal turnstile a bunch of pissed off kobolds. Zooey and her passengers slam on the brakes while Ubba jams a javelin into the wheels to slow them down before they are met with a deadly crash. The party quickly deals with the kobold threat with several being decapitated and the reminder being roasted in a mine-cart turned grill.

Enoch throws of his 'cloak of shadows' just as Ubba is about to stab the ghost impersonating Enoch. His tears of sadness turn to tears of joy as he puts all his pain and loss into a 'love punch to the face' of his barbarian besty. Laughter and hugs are shared as Zooey proudly announces "there is a man inside of me!" revealing Alexander hiding under a sheet pretending to be a ghost...
