OK,
continuing my long standing tradition of eventually answering my own questions, I got it working by rewriting the call as so:
[[!getResources? &tpl=`smallbox` &parents=`3` &depth=`1` &limit=`1` &offset=`2` &includeContent=`1` &includeTVs=`1` and &processTVs=`1` ]]
Basically removing the first three parts of the original call and modifying the fourth.
See the final results here
