>>5320642Shoving a few more flying golems away with magical force, the mage is almost shocked when you impatiently tap him on the shoulder! He<span class="mu-i">llo</span>, you growl, you’re happy for him and all, but you’d <span class="mu-i">really</span> like an answer to that question!
“Oh… right.” He mutters with slight embarrassment in his tone. “Well if the <span class="mu-g">HIGH SCHOLAR</span> is attempting to summon another <span class="mu-r">GREATER DEMON,</span> she’ll do it in one of our <span class="mu-r">DEMON LABS</span> near the pyramid’s base–very high security.”
Of <span class="mu-i">course</span> it is, you snarl as you watch Sybil blast a golem out of the air with a blast of ice! So how do we get there? Preferably <span class="mu-i">FAST!</span>
“There’s that <span class="mu-g">MAINTENANCE SHAFT,</span> of course,” The mage explains as he steps aside to let Talbot chuck some rubble at another sentry, “It’s a direct route to the bottom, provided you can survive the landing.”
Cool, you nod, what else?
“Beyond that door lies the entrance to a <span class="mu-g">TELEPORTER CHAMBER,</span>” Teevor continues, pointing at one of the sealed doors at the end of the room. “Though they seem to be locked-”
Don’t worry, you interrupt, holding your <span class="mu-g">TIRE IRON</span> aloft for him to see, you might have a key!
“That might work, yes…” The mage nods, “but teleportation might be risky at the moment with the <span class="mu-g">HIGH SCHOLAR</span> controlling the facility again… still, it might be the most direct route-there’s a <span class="mu-g">TELEPORTER</span> <span class="mu-i">just</span> outside the <span class="mu-r">DEMON LABS</span> for emergency situations!”
Great, you hastily reply, but you’re a ‘<span class="mu-i">three or more choices</span>’ kinda gal–can he think of one more?
“There,” Teevor explains as he points a finger to <span class="mu-i">another</span> sealed door across the abyss, “There’s an <span class="mu-g">ELEVATOR</span> through that door–we can take it all the way down to the <span class="mu-r">DEMON LAB</span> level.”
That’ll do you! As your pals keep the golems at bay, you ultimately decide to:
>GO BACK THE WAY YOU CAME THROUGH THE MAINTENANCE SHAFT! LESS SECURITY!>TRY THE TELEPORTER–IT’S THE MOST DIRECT WAY!>THE ELEVATOR! IT’S A COMFY MIDDLE GROUND BETWEEN THE TWO!>WRITE-IN!
