Moaning Panda Square

Moaning Panda Square is accessible in Pandamonium.

On your initial visit:

"As you walk through the deserted Moaning Panda Square, a shadowy figure in a trench coat steps out from behind one of the many moaning panda statues. He starts to open his trench coat, and you start to avert your eyes. Then you breathe a sigh of relief, as you see that he's wearing pants, and that the inside of his trench coat is lined with merchandise for sale.

"Hey. Hey, buddy. Allow me to introduce myself: I'm a man of wealth, taste, and the finest merchandise this side of the river Styx. Wanna buy a watch? Or a nice new wallet? Or an ancient talisman of unspeakable evil?"

"No, no, and yes. How much meat do you want for the talisman?" you ask.

"Meat?" the stranger says, raising his eyebrows. "We don't trade in meat here in Hey Deze. We trade in sin here. I'll hand over this talisman in exchange for proof that you've beaten up five imps at Belilafs, and five demons at the Infernal Rackets concert. Deal?"

"How'll I find you again?" you ask.

"Oh, I'll be around," he says, smiling. "Any time there's violence and pain, I'll be around."

Well, now. That was unsettling."

On your subsequent visits, without all the needed items:

The trench coated stranger steps out from behind a statue again. He shoots you a piercing glance, then smiles a smile that's not entirely pleasant. For one thing, there are about three times as many teeth as there ought to be, and they're all sharp. "I see you've been busy," he says.

"Not busy enough, however. You still need to bring me X imp airs and Y more bus passes. Keep up the good work. I'll be seeing you." He vanishes with a laugh that's not entirely, or at all, pleasant.
