“I don’t have much time:” he hisses, eyes wide in apprehension as you feel his breath on your nose, “Find somewhere else ta’ work, kid–these guys are gonna eat you ali-”
“<span class="mu-s">SCUSETHEINTERRUPTION!</span>”
You barely have time to LIMBO to the side as the door explodes open sending your sloshed savior tumbling down the ramp like a marble! Brandishing Tzah-Tzie like a weapon, Volka turns her game face towards you ready to throw down until she confirms you’re safe!
“Oh thank <span class="mu-i">MITAAR!</span>” She hisses as TT snarls in her hands, “When I saw him lead ya’ off I thought… well, erm…”
The poor girl grapples with the unpleasant thought for a moment before throwing it out along with the stern look on her face! “Nevermind that! Is, erm, is he okay?”
Your answer comes in the form of an almost cartoony <span class="mu-i">CRASH</span> far below followed by an unfamiliar set of distant voices:
“Hells! What happened to him!?”
“It’s <span class="mu-i">TIKKO!</span> And he’s…”
An unsettling pause drapes over you and your pals as you prepare to beat a hasty retreat!
“... <span class="mu-i">SLOSHED.</span> Hells, he’s konked out completely!”
“Drunken bastard… here, help me move him over… he can sleep it off…”
Waiting until the disembodied voices conclude their work, you lead the way to the foot of the ramp and into the cool, damp bowels of the <span class="mu-b">COMEBACK CANTINA!</span>
“OoOoh…” Groans Tzah-Tzie as if awakening from a trance, “Where… where the hells are we?”
“The basement, hon,” Whispers Volka as she sticks close to you, “Feeling better?”
“Nghh… that bitch…” Growls the Spinner as she shakes off the rage-induced lethargy, “Yea… I’m good…”
Great, you nod, because you’re in the thick of things now! You’re just about to loot Tikko’s snoring body when you hear a new pair of boots approaching! Grasping at the walls for options, you find that the path forks to the <span class="mu-b">LEFT</span> and the <span class="mu-b">RIGHT</span>--Tikko was placed in a small nook stuffed with crates and other sundries!
With little time to weigh your options, you decide to:
>Head left! You’re pretty sure that’s where the previous goons went!>Head right! That’s probably where Tikko’s ‘helpers’ came from!>Hide near Tikko!>Head back up the ramp for now!>Stay silent! They’ll think you disappeared!>Write-In!
