Wait a few minutes for a response, then start setting up a camp.

You give the door one final knock and wait a couple minutes for any sign of response, but you’re still left hanging. Satisfied that you’ve done everything you can and there’s obviously no other gates or secret tunnels leading into the school that you already know about and have used before, you decide to concede to El Disgusto’s whining and set up camp for the night.

The Undertaker produces two sleeping pads from his bottomless pit of a coat pocket and rolls them out for you and himself, while El Disgusto prepares his usual nest of moss and dirt and The Rock perches on a nearby burnt stump to meditate. You all collectively decide to skip on lighting a campfire, given the current state of the surrounding forest, and instead all head right to sleep.

You manage to sleep soundly for a few hours, only to be startled awake shortly after sunrise by something repeatedly jabbing you in the gut. You roll over and open your eyes to discover a young man poking you with a stick. “Ugh, do you mind?” you mumble groggily as you swat away his stick. The young man, apparently startled by your behavior, runs off towards the school without a word. As he runs you notice the gates to the school are now open, and there are two helmeted individuals standing near it and glancing in the direction of your makeshift camp.

What will you do?
