Climb up first since you might not be able to get back if you use the rope to get to the fifth floor.
Go to the 7th floor and go see whats so special about that room 702.

He doesn't have to give anything.
Could he just unlock the door himself?

Ask him if we took him to room 702 if he would use his key to unlock it. Who knows, there may be something in there worth his time.

>>582845

Sure, looks like this guy doesn't want to hand out information for nothing, so let's stop bothering him about it. Let's check out 702.

If he's gonna be a party pooper, we'll just check out the upper floors.

You decide to check out room 702... so you go up the floor through a fire escape ladder.

Lucky for you the door leading inside the building is open.

He refuse to do anything but observe.

You step inside...

There is no light on this floor so you cant see far side of the hallway.

Door to the room 702 is chained up... there is an old rusty padlock dangling on chains.

Wait, would the room key even work on the padlock that is also on the door? If it would work, would he accept opening the door in exchange for getting to keep the lock?
If it won't work, check out the other rooms nearby.

>>582900
since our merchant friend is being a fuckwit then how about we get hatbro to help us....oh wait he doesnt want to do anything unnessasary.......we have to figure out a way in right?

we have to search for things to use to break in

What about the door opposite 702? It should be visible through the window's light, too, is there anything blocking it off?

...Leet's not deal with the locked room and head on over to another room.

Yep its visible... and unlock for that matter. Its dark inside. You can smell a faint smell of formol coming through the crack in the door.

Say:
"Sure is dark in there. A flashlight sure would be useful right about now."
And then give mr. Nobody a nasty look.

You will have to brave the darkness and try to find the window and open the curtains.

Its true right you dont even know if you can trust your companions, but at least Ben looks more reliable in a fight then mr.Nobody here.

>we need to figure out some means of defense

Right now the only thing that comes to your mind is a gun (but it only have one bullet inside).

Ben looks like he can handle "stuff" in a hand to hand combat.

>i don't wanna get her killed too

So what should you do next..? Everything here feels like death trap. You have this uneasy feeling ever since you enterd 7th floor.

>>583186
Maybe we should head back down for now. Get outta there, try and reach the lower floors with the elevators or the rope.

I'd say go ahead and check out the lower floors. Better off leaving captain mouth-breather to him/herself right now, but keep the flashlight trade in mind for later. Last time we checked on a body in a room we ended up tripping balls.

Ben jumps between you and the door, grappling with multiple appendages that kept appearing from behind the door.

-"You two! RUN! I'll handle this!"

White ghostly fist formed behind Ben as he were about to strike.

You and mr.Nobody make a run for the door... back to the fire escape.

The "swarm" of hands kept flowing out the room 701 pinned Ben to the celing of the hallway... eventually pushing him through it to the floor above. You dont know if he is ok.

Pieces of the celing rain down on the floor.

I forget, was floor eight unlocked? If so we should go there to see if Ben is ok.

>>583368
Well that gives us a good solid plan....lets see if we can go to floor 8 find ben and maybe some clues on what to do next

...is there a central body or something the hands are coming from? We only have one shot, bu if we see something like that, it might be the one we need.

You didn't see anything like that. If this thing have central body it must be still in the room 701. But you don't feel brave enough to go in there again. Who knows what else might lurk inside...

You ascend to the 8th floor and find that a door that leads inside the building is open.

You step inside... Its surprisingly quiet... 'Hands' stoped moving and Ben is ended up pinned to the celling.

Ben
-"Vicky... i... eh... might need some help... i think i stuck..."

'Apendages' tightly hold Ben... restraining his movements.

Vicky
-"Well... can't you use your phantasm to break free... I only catched a glimps of it, but it looked really powerful."

Ben
-"Nah... not gonna work this things somehow hold it 'inside' of me, i cant summon it. Try to cut them off or something"

Is he hurt? The arms aren't moving?

If that's the case, don't try anything just yet. Let's examine the situation for a moment before we risk setting the hand off. (Worst case they go from restraining him to trying to kill him, or more come through and immobilize us).

Options: if we damaged the ceiling or got a ladder or something, could we just slide or lift him off the top of the hands, or is he being gripped and not just pinned?

Figure out which branches of the tree you'd need to remove for him to free himself. You don't have a chainsaw, so if you do attempt forcible extraction, I doubt you're going to sever all the arms before they start to move in response.

What options do we have in inventory, again?

>>585084

indian rug burns for everyone!

otherwise Im not sure because I mean we're still not sure how these bodiless phantoms work

Phantasms seem to be something mortals can attack, if ineffectually.

>indian rug burns for everyone!
Or we tickle it.

Try shooting it.

After all, Mr. Nobody said he'd trade for one specific item you had. He can't ask for both the bullet and the gun.

You turn around and inspect the fire escape... he is nowhere to be seen.

Damn... we'll have to deal with that later. For now you need to figure out how to get Ben down form there.

>What options do we have in inventory, again?

Right now you are carrying:
1) Gun (loaded with one bullet)
2) Pneumatic stapler

>is he being gripped and not just pinned?

Ben is being gripped, so you can't just pull him out.

Pick up the hat; use the edge of the hat to tickle it so you can be slightly farther away from it when it reacts.

Incoming bird, to your right, Vicky. The way your head isn't turned.

Dodge which in this context probably means either letting go and letting yourself fall back a few feet before catching yourself, or pushing off from the wall hard so you can use the rope to swing out of the way.

Dodge the hitchcock surprise! I dont know if ben will be fast enouh to get it but if there's more maybe he'll be able to knock the others out.

You might have to let go of the rope to dodge

Are you near one of the lower balconies? If there's no other option, try and swing or jump onto it and get indoors.

Vicky kicks off the wall to dodge incoming angel phantasm attack bearly avoiding it.
She looks below searching for remains of the fire escape ladder on the lower floors.
The fog is too thick below so she can't be sure if it's there.

A) Hang on to the rope (let ben pull you out)
B) Let it go (jump down)

Never drop into the unknown. Go back up.

For now, try to go up, and keep swinging to make yourself harder to hit.

If it looks like it's going to be able to get you, drop. Nothing to lose, then.

Yell out for Ben to pull you back up. But if you can't get back up in time, just fall.
