Their talk suggests they plan a fresh attack on the cabin and its occupants. The story follows the group's uneasy night as the danger closes in.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
