The Furtivity of My City
|
There are some vague or non-exact figures and information on this page. Some spading is required.

As you're skulking around in the Purple Light District (not that you're doing anything wrong, exactly, it's just that it's impossible to move around in this place without skulking) you encounter a furtive hobo, furtively hanging out by a dumpster.
You're not sure what he's up to, but you're relatively sure it isn't the absence of no good. Something should be done, by Golly, and you're the one that should do it.
| Eviscerate him |
You leap out from the shadows you were skulking in and tackle the hobo against the side of the dumpster.

| Intimidate him |
You spring into view, and shout "Hey!"
The hobo nearly jumps out of his skin, and says "Oh, hi, I was just... er... I was over here, umm, I... gonna..."
"Don't you have anything better to do than furtively skulking around this dumpster?" you shout, trying to keep your intimidation momentum (you like to refer to it as "intimentum") up.
"Like... uh... what?" he asks.
Not knowing who this guy is, or what his job might be, you grasp at straws. "Why don't you... uh... take this trash out."
"Oh, umm, sure. Yeah, sure, okay." he says, as he wheels the dumpster toward The Heap.
| Wait for him to leave |
- First 10 times:
You wait for the hobo to leave, and then you climb into the dumpster to see if you can find anything interesting. And boy, oh boy, do you! It's as if this dumpster has never been emptied!
You claw through strata of old newspapers, bags of ancient garbage, piles and piles of filthy outdated gentlemens' magazines (you're not sure what it is, but women 30 years ago just looked... weird), and several sleeping hobos who, disturbed by your dive, leave the dumpster and wander back out into the District.
At the bottom of the layers of detritus, you find a big pile of Meat! You hand it to Richard (who inexplicably shows up every time you find some Meat down here) and ask him to carry it back upstairs for you.
 | 4,000−6,000 Meat has been deposited in your clan coffer. |
- Subsequent times:
You wait for the furtive hobo to leave, and then you climb into the dumpster to see if you can find anything interesting. You don't, though -- it looks like this particular dumpster has already been pretty thorougly dived. Er... dove?
Notes
- Occurs at The Purple Light District.
- Waiting for the hobo to leave also increases the hobos in The Purple Light District by 5(?).
- Choosing the third option after the dumpster has been fully raided will not consume an adventure.
