[You find yourselves in a crowded little dining room in 726 Anderson Lane, seated around a long table. There is a large grid laid out along the table, along with miniature figurines, pencils, papers, and multicolored die of different shapes and sizes. At the head of this table, hiding behind an elaborate screen is none other than your Dungeon Master, Edward Nigma.

> Roll for History

The Riddler received this tabletop RPG as a stocking stuffer this past Christmas, and after two months, it's finally time to put the game to good use.

A different friend.

[By the way, he's ready to fight whatever killed this guy at the bottom of this "ladder".]

As you venture further into the cave, you can hear a strange, rumbling sound. It's dark, but just up ahead, you can see what appears to be something monstrous hanging upside-down from the ceiling.

"Awaken, Gouma. Awaken and fight!"

[It's almost as if he's done this before... at some point... last year, under very different circumstances...]

Do I need to need to have a talk with Uncle Liebert again?

[strike_you_out]

Wrong again.

This "friend" isn't here.

[And he's dead.]

[inthebones]

...We should talk more about your home sometime.

[strike_you_out]

If you're sure.
