The Heap is the stench zone in Hobopolis. During combat, stench damage is taken over time. A primary stat of 350 is suggested. If your main stat isn't high enough, you'll see the following message:

The buzzing of flies assaults your ears as you near the Heap, but the ear trauma is nothing compared to the flat-out war the Heap is waging on your nasal cavities. You're not sure you can fight here and keep your lunch down.

(It is recommended that you have at least 350 <mainstat> to adventure here.)

Non-combat Adventures

The Compostal Service
	Be green: Move compost to The Ancient Hobo Burial Ground. Probably lowers the stench in this area. Begone: Skip adventure

---

You vs. The Volcano
	Kick the stuff into the hole: Start eruption, increase stench in area, kills 4-6 hobos On second thought, that's probably a horrible idea: Skip adventure

---

I Refuse!
	Explore the junkpile: Drops three items, which seem to be randomly chosen from a subset of all the items in-game. Seems to reset the stench level to the minimum. Climb back out: Nothing. (No Adventure loss.)

---

Juicy!
	Buy it (5 nickels): Trade 5 hobo nickels for concentrated garbage juice Don't buy it: Skip adventure

---

Deep Enough to Dive
	Wig out, climb in, throw down: Fight Oscus Do like the sign says: Nothing. (No Adventure loss.) Note: This adventure only occurs when The Heap is clear of hobos.

---

If This Dumpster's A' Rockin'
	Note: Occurs when somebody else is already fighting Oscus.

Notes

• 50 hobo kills are needed to advance each image file.
• Oscus will only appear when the location's image is on its 10th variation. After defeating Oscus this area can no longer be explored.
• Attempting to adventure here after Oscus has been defeated yields the message:

The Heap is empty. Well, let me rephrase that. It's still full of garbage, but there's nobody and nothing of interest mixed in with the garbage.
