Corroded Metal Bars of Skaro Cavern
Angled metal bars groan apart under the combined strength of the Doctor and Harry, their corroded surfaces heavy with rust and time. The bars are set unevenly in the rock wall, their edges sharp enough to cut flesh but weak enough to yield to brute force. As they shift, they reveal a narrow passage once sealed by the clam’s presence—now a gateway Harry barely escaped alive. The sound of protesting metal underscores the cave’s indifferent hostility.
