Right, do that again but press the on switch straight away this time instead of faffing around with the key.

Success! The vehicle starts up, you press down with a foot and the acceleration is incredible. The surprise is short lived however as with no prior knowledge of how to drive it, you crash straight into a wall.

Ok, so there's a message there that the bike isn't the answer.
We keep getting mentions of the overflow pipes (plural) on the wall. We could try and climb them to get on the roof, or get they key and try the other door.

Reading back, the pipes are below the window, so probably not high enough to reach the roof with. Go for Martin's suggestion of getting they key again and using it on the door if it's locked.

Missed a few chapters there, catching up is really hard. About as hard as Blueshift's helicopter Wang. What's going on? Are we at least full clothed?

Indeed. With something like this you need to read up, Shockers, because there may be something in the descriptions you spot that we don't. Whizz back through and read the stuff in courier font FONT FONT that progresses the story.
FONT.
The pipes are troubling me. What are the pipes telling us?

oh! User 3 may be onto something there. We never did try the door handle in the room. We were told the ground on this side of the window is lower than the floor in the room, so we probably can't climb back in, so the pipes will let us do that and then the key might open the door in the room. We obviously can't leave the area yet because we can't control the bike. We may have to leave the crowbar outside until later.
Top work, Bogatan.

Pick up key use pipes to climb back in to room
Inventory Item Added: Small key (+1 Point)
You about face, prop a foot on one of the pipes and try to use it to hike yourself high enough to pull yourself back into the window. Alas, the pipe does not provide a steady footing and you slip backwards.
Lying on your back, you're not even in a position to put up a valiant fight as the teeth rip into you from above, there's no way you can win this one.

So it's either that the bike has a weapon we haven't found, or we need to go into the entrance. Let's try that next.
ENTER entrance (using the key if the door is locked)

So we needed to do that, but when we tried the same with the crowbar we got munched.

I wonder how we're shackled. Maybe the key is for a cuff. We haven't examined the shackle.

Instinct kicks in as you decide to get to safety... After dismissing the idea to use the key on the building itself, you decide that maybe trying it on the door instead would be a better idea. You dash for the main entrance!
The door is large and full windowed with what looks like reinforced security glass. Doesn't look hinged, perhaps it slides? Unfortunately you don't have time to look inside right now. You search for a key hole of some kind, control panel or anything that will open the door, but nothing is there. You're not even surprised when you feel the claws upon your flesh. You put up a valiant fight, but there's no way you can win this one.

Ugh. This is beginning to feel like a brute force approach. Options now?
Try the small key on the cuffs then use the bed to jump back up to the window to climb back to where we started.
Try to get the crowbar and prise the entrance door open with it?
Try to find out if the protruding bars on the bike are weapons of some kind to shoot the dogs.
Any more?

The pipe can be broken off and used as a weapon and the bed as a shield.

Post by Pinwig on Nov 12, 2018 20:06:28 GMT
Possible, but we tried the crowbar as a weapon and that failed. Not the bed as a shield though. I dunno, I feel the solution to this ought to be non-violent. Doesn't seem right we need to kill loads of dogs right at the start.
I'm not sure about time in this. Maybe we should try to get the crowbar but not do anything with it just to see if getting it is the right move. If we try to get it and die we know we can't get it yet, unlike the key. That would tell us that the key is essential at the moment.
GET crowbar

Not checked them yet. I suggested that a while back but we haven't got round to it yet.
Throwing the crowbar sounds good!

Instinct kicks in as you decide to try to give the creatures something else to worry about... You dash for the crowbar!
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. You waggle the crowbar provocatively before throwing it as far as you can. Turns out metal rods are a lot harder to throw than wooden sticks and it doesn't go particularly far. The beasts turn their heads as it lands but dismiss it focusing back to their prey, and then they pounce. You put up a valiant fight, but there's no way you can win this one.

Okay so that doesn't tell us if we can get the crowbar safely because we did two actions at once.
EXAMINE shackle.

Without much time you can't take a thorough examination, but your quick look reveals that the shackle has a small key hole on the wrist and another at the bed, the surrounds made of the same material as the small key. It looks to be a match, although with only one hand free could be fiddly to unlock. Other than that, it's non-descript, short strong chain to the bed, not much else.
