"Hey! keep it down, I told you, you'll wake them up." The man yells at Tharhack"Wake who up?" Tharhack asks leaning against the doors"Go upstairs and see for yourself, I unfortunately have to keep staring at the stone floor out here, although the addition of all this new blood makes for a nice change of scenery. " Responds the man"I'm not going upstairs, without a few new spell preparations." Tharhack replies"I've never seen a half-orc wizard before, how did you break the literacy barrier?" Inquires the man"I am neither a wizard, nor illiterate. I am a devout." Tharhack gets cut off again"Druid. never seen a half-orc druid neither." Interjects the man"I am not a druid either, I'm a" Tharhack gets interrupted again"Bore, really you should get some new material if we're going to have these conversations until you succumb to death." Replies the man"I will not die here." Tharhack states while pushing himself off the door"Well, if you're too chicken to go upstairs, then you'll die somewhere between 3.8 and 5.2 days. I've kept track." The man replies"How many people have been here before me?" Tharhack asks"Hmm... one-hundred fifty eight, not including yourself." comes the man's reply"What happened to them?" Tharhack asks"They eventually went upstairs, sometimes when they're awake, you can still hear the screams as their souls continue to search for a way out. Very annoying even for one such as myself. Do you have any hocus pocus that will shut them up?" Asks the man"Who is upstairs?" Tharhack asks"You, in a couple of days." Answers the man"Do you like this game? I amuse you for a couple of days, you drive me insane, and then I climb that ladder to my death?" Tharhack asks"Game? This is no game, it's an epic ballad. A loser in love fell into lust, very tragic, brings me to tears every time she sings it." The man replies"What are you talking about? You're all over the place, what the hell is upstairs?" Tharhack demands"A great treasure, a great loss. Would you lose all that you are, for the chance to be more than you could ever be?" Asks the man"Back to riddles are we?" Tharhack says"The only riddle is the one you'll make for yourself. Which to choose, which to choose. All have ended up choosing the safest option, I wager you'll do the same." The man replies"What? Maybe I should just tear the ladder down, so that no one goes upstairs ever again?" Tharhack states"What are you talking about? You haven't gone mad already have you? You'll throw my whole calculation off." Replies the man"Now you've done it, I'm going to go sit against the wall over here. Don't talk to me again." Tharhack answers as he begins to walk to the east wall."Stop me. Have you even thought how it is that you're even hearing me? Did you pay attention to how thick those doors are? Do you believe you're talking to the doorman? All you half-orcs really are dumb." Comes the replyTharhack stops walking and turns back to the door. Remembering how much of the man stuck through the front of the door, and how much is sticking through the back, Tharhack figures the doors to be six inches thick. "What are you?" Tharhack asks"Finally a good question. I don't know, as long as I can remember I've always been here." Comes the replyTharhack starts to ask a question, but changes in mid thought and re-words it before asking it. "How should I get upstairs?" The voice snickers at the question. "Which floor are you trying to reach?" Comes the replyTharhack thinks "ok more than one floor, how can I word the next question." "I want to reach the eyes." Tharhack answers"OK, follow my instructions very carefully. Put your arms out to your sides, and trust me. Now, bend your arm in toward your head, there you've reach the eyes." The man begins laughing hysterically"I want to reach to one with hair, the color of the melting sun on the horizon." Tharhack yellsThe voice stops laughing, followed by a brief silence, then the sound of crying. "Now we're getting somewhere" Tharhack thinks "I want to see this great treasure." Tharhack calls out"You'll have to get past them." The man answers between sobs.Tharhack walks to the ladder, reaching out to grab a rung, and his hand passes right through the ladder. Looking up, Tharhack sees the red eyes of the little white monkey. Tell your master I'm coming."I'm waiting." A female's voice calls out from above and beyond the hole in the ceiling, sultry and breathy.</blockquote>
