Violent Ending

You know the chamber layout, the choke points, the weak support brace by the entry. When the first two men come back under the tower, you spring the trap and let panic do the rest. Wood splinters. Lights swing wild. Somebody fires blind and somebody else answers too late. The hidden room becomes a crush of mud, diesel smell, shouted names, and the sound of a network tearing itself apart under pressure. Your brother survives. So do some of the men. Whether justice was served or merely chaos unleashed depends on who tells the story afterward. All you know for certain is that Hollow Pine will never be quietly reused the same way again.
