Calling Rufus
You find a nickel in the gutter nearby and drop it in the slot. The phone rings for a long time. You're about to give up, then somebody answers.
"Rufus here," says a voice on the other end.
"Okay... uh... nice to meet you, Rufus. I'm <player>."
"There are some things I need," says Rufus. "Three of them."
"First thing. There's a big shadow entity. In the place those rifts connect to. <shadow entity description>." He pauses.
"I've also detected an artifact I need somebody to recover for me. A <shadow artifact>," he continues.
After a moment Rufus speaks again. "I can also always use samples of more mundane items from the rifts. Right now, 3 <shadow item> would be valuable."
| I'll fight the entity |
You tell Rufus you'll defeat the shadow entity for him.
"Thanks. Call me when it's done."
He abruptly hangs up.
| I'll find the artifact |
You tell Rufus you'll retrieve the artifact for him.
"Thanks. Call me when it's done."
He abruptly hangs up.
| I'll collect the goods |
You tell Rufus you'll bring him the items he wants.
"Okay, thanks. Be careful."
He abruptly hangs up.
| Hang up |
You hang up on Rufus. He probably won't mind.
Occurs after using a closed-circuit pay phone.
