    Rude awakening

    Fundamentals Yup, Max is right. If you cant get everyone together, then find some stronghold with good cover (which does not mean a wall) and go into your intimidation moves to try and convince him to go elsewhere. If the entryway is all you have between you and your family, make it happen...

    unused wires??

    Aha, so that is what the little pamphlet meant by "pass thru wires".
