Trap Electrocutes Ice Warrior

Jamie’s metal bar is a crude but effective barrier, its sturdy length jammed across the sliding door to buy the group precious seconds.

The bar’s success—or failure—hinges on Jamie’s strength and the Warrior’s patience, making it a tangible symbol of the group’s desperation and the fragility of their plan.
