911, what's your emergency?
Yes er I am Kospel-I mean, er, hmmm, er... Koebel... yes, Koebel, lets go with that, that is not the name at all of a dungeonmaster who got himself into trouble or cancelled - yes, I am, er, DM Koebel, and er, there is this insane woman(?) in a bathrobe, at the Alsephina Hotel, she is obssessed with vampires, I think she is armed and very dangerous...
You are beginning to suspect that this wizard tower is actually filled with traps (QM: lol, traps) and even if they are not of the fall into a pit of spikes variety, some of these social traps can also impale you, or be difficult to escape from.
(you have lost: expensive high heeled shoes. Danger Hair squeals a little when you throw them over the edge into the floors below. Slob Girl is pleased)
However you were clever enough to throw away the heels. Not only would they gradually annoy your companions over time but they would definitely give you away when trying to sneak up on this perverted King Ghoul. You are approaching him silently, underpants garrotte at the ready... creeping forward ever so silently...
King Ghoul has his back turned 180 degrees to you. There is no possible way for him to see you approach, no shadow, no reflection, no sound, surely nothing. And yet, in a voice that sounds like a handful of dust thrown into an open grave, the King speaks:
I know what you are. I don't serve you no more. There is no need for it. Life kills you in the end.
(You have lost the chance for a surprise attack)
(You are not within melee distance)
King Ghoul turns to face you. There is a sound like a crying baby thrown into the jaws of a howling wolf. A braying croaked scream. You realise he is laughing. It ends in a nicotine wracked cough.
When he recovers, King Ghoul speaks:
It's not magic. I smelt the incense on your skin. So this is what it is like now, is it? You've come to end me, with your friends?
(King Ghoul does not appear to be carrying any weapons)
>Don't let him finish - gun King Ghoul down with the USP45. You have seen this film before, he is about to transform into something horrible...
>Tell Danger Hair to shoot King Ghoul with her flare gun
>Tel Danger Hair and Slob Girl to flee
>Hear King Ghoul out - does he have something to tell you?
>Bluff/try and flatter him: I really like your films! Especially all the horror and violence and torture ones! Could you tell me how you make those vampire films of yours? They are so realistic! Amazing!
>That Handsome Executive is getting pretty far away now. Maybe completely ignore this conversation and just walk off to chase after him, and leave King Ghoul alone with the terrified Danger Hair and Slob Girl.
