Just trying to remember if we've tried to get the crowbar without doing anything else directly afterwards before. That might open the cell door. I'm sure we've died every time we've picked it up though.

Hopefully once we've ditched the bed we'll be more fleet of foot.

Looking back I don't think we have tried GET crowbar without doing something with it in the same set of commands, and we did pick it up once successfully. It's logical we need it in the room even though it feels like from the deaths we've suffered it's too far away to get. So change that last command:
GET crowbar
STAND on shelf
CLIMB into room
UNLOCK shackle

GET crowbar STAND on shelf CLIMB into room UNLOCK shackle
Inventory Item Added: Crowbar (+1 point)
However, after picking it up you turn slowly to see yourself surrounded by the creatures. There's a brief moment whilst they lock eyes with their prey... Time seems to slow as you consider your next move. All you can do is verbalise 'Nice doggies. Cute little pooches. Maybe I've got a Milk-Bone' for some reason, and then they pounce. You put up a valiant fight, but there's no way you can win this one.

I can't even remember where the save point was now. At least we know for sure we can't get the crowbar.

It's alright, if unrecognised commands or other commands that cause errors are processed then this gets included in the death tally.

LOOK through window CLIMB through window GET shiny thing PUT shelf on pipes STAND on shelf CLIMB through window UNLOCK Shackle
You look around to the horizon, there's a glow in the distance and you can make out the faint outline of what you guess is a city. Between that and you though... Not a lot. It's not quite a desert, but certainly an inhospitable environment to be sure. To the left of the window you see some kind of vehicle. It's roughly motor bike in shape, but strangely has no wheels, just flat panels and some sort of vent system. To the right you can see some kind of main entrance to whatever building you're in. Further around the wall, near the door there's something that you'd assess at this distance is a crowbar. A few feet from the window on the ground something glints in the moons' light on the floor. The ground is slightly lower on the other side, there are a few overflow outlet pipes protruding horizontally from the wall.
Shapes in the distance start moving...
Location Discovered: Remote courtyard (+1 point)
It's a little high, but by putting camp bed on the window ledge so it doesn't obstruct you, you manage to hike yourself up and get your first leg over. From there it's a simple case of dropping down to the other side.
You look back to the window, it's a little higher than you thought it would be, but no problem - You're at least out of the room now.
To your left is some kind of wheelless motorbike-esque vehicle, from this better angle you can see it's got 2 long bars coming from the front and some kind of front spoiler on the end. A few feet away in the dirt an object glints in the moonlight, to the right the main entrance door and further on a crowbar is propped against the wall. Horizontal outlet pipes jut out of the wall under the window.
It doesn't take long though for growls and snarls to start bearing down on you. 3 or 4 creatures, certainly dog like in appearance, but a lot larger. Red eyes, hunched backs, large claws and teeth, from their head two devil like horns and dark grey furless skin. Their powerful legs propelling them forwards in large bounds rather than a run.
New location: Remote courtyard (+3 points)
You bend and pick up whatever was glinting on the ground, looks like a small key!
Inventory Item Added: Small key (+1 Point)
You turn and place the shelves across the outlet pipes, these should provide a secure footing beneath the window.
Item Used: Shelves (+1 point)
You turn and stand on the shelf against the wall. You're a little higher now, but not that high.
Instinct kicks in as you decide to get back to safety, from your new platform you can reach the window and you manage to pull yourself to safety just As your wannabe assailants bound towards you, clawing and snarling at your legs as you pull yourself through. They continue to prowl around outside the window and don't seem to be going anywhere fast.
From the safety of the room, you decide to try to get the bed off your wrist. You try the key in the shackle on you wrist and it fits! The bed falls to the ground, you won't be needing that again and are glad to be rid of it.
Item Used: Small key (+1 point)
Item Lost: Bed
Inventory: | Transformers pants (wearing), green uniform (wearing) | Location: | Small room | Connected

We're also at a pivotally exciting point as we might finally have worked out a puzzle, but the parser has gone to sleep. The system had a big database lookup to go through due to so many commands to process. Servers do go into sleep mode at off peak times though to keep runtime costs lower, so I wouldn't expect any more commands processed until tomorrow now. |

High five, chaps. We have accomplished something at last.
Although I'm disappointed to find the bed has vanished now we've got it off our wrist. There didn't seem to be any need for it to be there at all as it didn't prevent us from doing anything.
So we're back where we started, minus bed and still stuck in the room.

The room is square in shape, not much bigger in depth than the camp bed you were shackled too, quite a squeeze indeed. It has a door and a window. There is no decoration other than a white paint covering that hasn't been refreshed in many years. Scuff marks run across the walls, the ceiling isn't much better either. The floor is bare concrete, a few stains here and there, coffee or dirty water spills at a guess. There are shelf brackets on the wall, but no shelves and a folded camp bed, shackle and key in the corner.
