Episode 3 Defeat
The Footnote Trap Backfires.
In Episode 3, the Permit Goblin blocks the warehouse door with Form 47-B, subsection splash. He expects the heroes to panic, apologize, and fill out the wrong form.
Solar Pool Boy smiles. He read the footnotes. Subsection splash only applies to indoor wave pools. The Permit Goblin freezes. Nobody was supposed to read that far.
“Impossible. He read the footnotes.”
