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.

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.
