Quoted By:
Ahead of you there is a wide concourse, that overlooks several of the floors below in the tower. You can see the vertiginous drop of levels above and below you.
Danger Hair mentions:
You know it is strange. This billionaire MAGUS or whoever built this tower 13 years ago. It was the tallest skyscraper at the time - so it must have had more than 163 floors. But there are only 78 levels marked? And the numbering is chaotic. We already know one passage, but are there many more secret hidden floors? What would the MAGUS be doing there?
Slob Girl replies nervously:
Dungeons. Torture dungeons! Maybe the MAGUS is the... no! I am not saying his name! It is so scary!
You can see two men ahead on the concourse. They appear to be arguing fiercely and gesticulating violently at each other.
One is a very Handsome Executive, he looks like a financier or investment manager of some sort.
The other man looks literally like the opposite. He has a sordid wolfish look, like a begrimed ageing rockstar, a goth, or ghoul. Eventually the Handsome Executive gets up, shaking his head in disagreement and disgust. The Handsome Executive departs and leaves the Ghoulish Man alone. His back is turned to you, and he has not seen or heard any of you approach.
Slob Girl squeals in terror:
That-that must be him! King Ghoul! He directs all those horror films! Argh! We have to get away! He is going to torture and kill us all!
(Slob Girl and Danger Hair are too terrified to help you at the moment)
>This is the perfect opportunity for a stealth attack. If only you were like a bald-headed assassin, with a barcode on your head and some piano wire... but wait, you have some large suspicious underpants. Approach King Ghoul from behind, pull the underpants over his head, maybe beat him over the face for molesting women and making disturbing horror films
>Just shoot him
>King Ghoul makes horror films... maybe he knows something about vampires? Or even the MAGUS? Ask King Ghoul all these questions etc
>Maybe just avoid this situation. Try and follow the Handsome Executive (leave Danger Hair and Slob Girl behind for the moment, in this area alone with King Ghoul)
