What I really like about Will being able to escape is that it was set up by the D&D game. He had run into the monster, cast his fireball, and failed. So when he encounters a real monster just minutes later, he casts the equivalent of a protection spell. He went to his fort.

Yep!
It also showed that all four of the kids were resilient and not helpless "damsel's in distress". Each was heroic in his own way.
I like that Mike tried to stand up to the bully, but like in real life, that doesn't always work out with the nerd winning the fight. El had to save him.
And to Will at the end. I think Will WAS freaked out about coughing up that slug, and he looks in the mirror to compose himself before he returns to the table because he doesn't want to scare them. My initial thought is that it wasn't the first time it had happened to him, which is why he didn't totally lose his shite. I'm not sure how I feel about that plot point....

I think there are some similarities (maybe intentional) between D&D classes and and the kid character roles.
- Lucas was the ranger. He had the forearm slingshot.
- Eleven was the wizard (obvious).
- Will was the rogue. He was able to hide in the upside down.
- Duncan was the cleric. Never fought the enemy, but always tried to heal the bad feelings between Lucas/Mike/Eleven.
- Mike was the paladin.
- Jonathan was the fighter. Wielded a baseball bat with nails sticking out of the end.
