* ConservationOfNinjutsu: Happens twice. The first five wolves get dropped through trapdoors in quick succession, but the last wolf is able to persist until the boss leaves. He then starts knocking his new coworkers down the same trapdoors. Again, the first five dweebs fall easily, while the last one fights back and nearly proves a match for the wolf.
