Scavenged Gunpowder Charge

Scavenged gunpowder is piled on the staircase and lit by the Doctor’s fuse, erupting in a massive explosion and blinding flash that sends the Rutan reeling down the stairs. Though not a traditional weapon, the gunpowder transforms into a tactical obstacle in an otherwise low-tech defense.

The Doctor arranges scavenged gunpowder into a line on the lighthouse stairs before igniting it with the fuse, creating a controlled explosion that engulfs the Rutan scout. This improvised weapon reflects the crew’s transformation of maritime supplies into wartime ordnance.
