the children are in the house in the woods being eaten by monsters-Andy is down and when his shield over those kids break. it. is. over.
...has Andy claimed astral powers before, or is this new? It sounds like both parties are familiar with such claims, but I might be being too charitable there.

Regardless, THE CHILDREN ARE IN THE HOUSE IN THE WOODS. BEING EATEN BY MONSTERS. (If they are currently being eaten, what good is a shield going to do?)

IN THE HOUSE. IN THE WOODS. I feel like I'm playing Zork or some shit.
