Recap / Max Fun Drive 2017 Part One

See here for the main recap page.

Now that the trio has been accepted into the Beasts of the Ring, the leader Terra gives them their first big mission: break into the house of Magistrate Kannon, and kidnap him.

Tropes

• Door Roulette: On the second floor of the mansion, they wind up opening doors to see what's inside, finding, variously, guard barracks, a portrait gallery, a balcony, and a room with a giant spider.
• "Home Alone" Antics: Travis revealed that many of the security traps in the Magistrate's house were inspired by Home Alone.
• Trojan Prisoner: The Party attempts this with Tom as the fake prisoner and Lenny disguised as a guard. Predictably, they get found out.
  Lenny: What about the old "I have these fake prisoners." gag?
  Tom: That's a bad gag, it has never worked in any piece of media with that gag!
