Dipper felt a scream leave him involuntarily as they both pitched forward into the pit, straight back into the darkness. Thankfully, Dipper never has been much of a heavy kid so when he inevitably landed on top of Maurice he didn't make much of an impact, but it was enough to knock the wind out of his lungs.

But that also meant they were now at the mercy of the beer...which he hoped would either miss the pit entirely, not be able to fit, or be competent enough to know that if it went after them it wouldn't be able to so easily climb back out again.
