Summary

Looting the workshop into ten new inventory tabs — tables, tools, a ton of black powder in leather sacks — and building the bomb: four barrels of funpowder topped with nuts and bolts, hobgoblin pus in each, one deodorant-stick detonator left visible as a decoy. Donut directs from her sidecar and asks whether Rory will be mad.

The plan is a refined Hoarder: open the door, shove the cart, slam it, run three turns, press. Donut opens the door and sees a huge goblin reading a book. Carl hits the button. 'There sure were a lot of babies in there, too.'
