Hunger

*You are hungry and that is not good…*

**Hunger** is a status condition that the player character can acquire if they do not consume rations for a prolonged period of time, reducing certain statistics and weakening your character. There are three phases of hunger:

1. **Mild Hunger**: *The character is suffering the mild effects of malnourishment (Physique -1, Agility -1, Senses -1, +5% Critical Failure Chance)*
2. **Hunger**: *The character is suffering the effects of malnourishment (Physique -2, Agility -2, Senses -2, +10% Critical Failure Chance)*
3. **Severe Hunger**: *The character is suffering the severe effects of malnourishment (Physique -3, Agility -3, Senses -3, +15% Critical Failure Chance)*

When the character enters a state of hunger they will be notified through the notification log. If the character exceeds the “Severe Hunger” phase, they will enter a state of Starvation, causing continual damage to the character’s Health points unless alleviated with rations.

## How to Remove

Hunger is prevented and alleviated by consuming rations. Rations will automatically be consumed by the character and members of their party at predetermined time intervals (around once per day).

* This counter is not in effect while the player is viewing their inventory, engaged in dialogue, or engaged in combat
* Certain companions, like the Nameless Soldier, do not need to consume rations

When a ration is consumed, the player will be notified through the notification log. A consumed ration will also be indicated by a chewing sound effect. There is no hunger gauge in Stygian, so it is always a good idea to have a couple of extra rations with you.

Gargantuan Silhouette

**Gargantuan Silhouette** is a scripted random encounter that the player character may come across while travelling throughout the wilderness of Arkham.

## Script

*You halt at the sight of a gargantuan silhouette rising above the mist that blankets the land. The moment you realize that it is actually moving, a staggering fear fills your mind. No living thing this size could possibly exist…*

* Lose 5 Sanity

1. *(Try to control your panic through deep breathing technique) [Psychology]*
2. *(Find a suitable hiding spot until the entity leaves the area) [Stealth]*
3. *(Run to safety)*
4. *(Make your way past the creature at a safe distance)*

### Option 1 (Try...)

*The ground trembles as the colossal being approaches, and you attempt to control your breathing. You successfully shake off the instincts of the scared animal inside you. It seems you are too insignificant to even come to the gigantic entity’s notice. It leaves this desolate territory behind, a force of nature ignorant of your presence. You are safe.*

* Gain 15 Experience (Psychology)

### Option 2 (Find...)

*With panic screaming in your mind like a banshee, you take shelter in a nearby collapsed structure. You wait in the dark, listening to the tremors of the impossible entity. You leave the ruined building some time after the tremors subside. There is no sign of the entity in any direction. As if it never existed in the first place.*

* Gain 15 Experience (Stealth)
* Hunger Increased

### Option 3 (Run...)

*Panic takes over and you sprint away over the rubble-filled terrain. Turning back to check the location of the colossal entity, you stumble and fall headlong on the ground. Shortly after the fall, you feel a stabbing pain in your ankle. It seems you’ve badly sprained it. This will inevitably take its toll on your journey.*

* Lose 6 Health
* Acquire negative state: Sprained Ankle

### Option 4 (Make...)

*Turning back does not seem like a good idea so you decide to circumnavigate the colossal entity. Unfortunately, this new path takes you into much rougher terrain and you lose a considerable amount of time.*

* Lose 5 Sanity
* Hunger Increased

**Magnificent Horatio** is a quest in *Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones*.

## Journal

A wandering magician called  Magnificent Horatio was one of Wilkins' chief suspects. He is known for his grudge against the Mob and owns a pair of swords that he uses in his performances. I'm told he can be found in the room numbered 203 at the Essex Hotel.
Horatio seems like he is hiding something... I better investigate his room for a potential clue.
Horatio denies that he is the Stabber of Arkham, and claims his grudge is not against Waxface's brigand, but against the mob boss himself because of the brutal killing of Horatio's assistant. Interestingly, he also claims to know something about Julian's murder and offered to share information with me if I can find a way inside the Clubhouse. I can check the perimeter of the Mob's fortress to find an alternate entrance...
I discovered a potential entrance to the Blackened Club. The boiler room. As expected it is heavily guarded by the Mob. Time to inform Horatio.

## Starting Conditions

This quest begins at the same time as its parent quest Where Wilkins Left Off

## Ending Conditions

This quest ends upon finding the location of the House of Spectres.

## Guide

Go to Essex Hotel room 203. Horatio will not initially allow the player in but after a short conversation you will be let in. Speak with Horatio, after he denies seeing anything end the conversation and examine the large window. Speak to Horatio again and then you will be tasked with finding an entrance to The Blackened Club. To do this you will need a Lantern A new entrance near French Hill House will be available, head inside and locate a crack in the wall. Break in and you will find yourself in the basement of The Blackened Club. There will be two Mob men near the door, if you decide to attack there will be an infinite number of waves of Mob Men, it is impossible to win. You do not need to fight them at all. After entering the basement, exit and return to Horatio. He will give you the location of the House of Spectres and leave.

Alternatively instead of entering the Blackened Club and returning to Horatio you can get the manuscript Tongue of the Dead and use it on Julian's corpse in Riverside. Through the conversation you can get the location of the House of Spectres.

## Notes

Starting this quest is necessary to obtain the manuscript for Tongue of the Dead
Completing this quest by entering the Blackened Club and returning to Horatio is necessary to obtain the artifact Crawford's Knight of Wands.

*"Today mayor Anderson received a guest, a strange man who I'd never seen before. He was tall, dressed all in black, and wore a bowler hat. As I opened the door for him, I flinched away in shock. His face... how can I put this? He did not have one, or perhaps there was more than one, or he had a face which I am utterly unable to remember. Even the recollection of this first meeting invokes the same unease as when it had just occurred.*

*Once our visitor was sequestered with the mayor in his chambers my curiosity began to itch, despite the alarming bells ringing in my mind. I bent to watch them through the keyhole. I saw the dismal man hand an envelope to Anderson. From what I heard of their conversation, it contained an invitation for a special screening at the Arkham Theater. The man in black added that all the notable figures of Arkham had been invited, and then turned towards the door. I rushed to my desk and rather frantically pretended to work Immediately the door opened, and after a few silent steps towards the exit, the dismal man halted right by my side. My heart pounded as if to burst from my breast. He said to me:*

*"You gaze upon things not meant for you, little man, Mayhap you ought to not look at all."*

*Why can I not expunge these words from my mind? Why can I not shake this gloom which rests upon my soul?*

*... mayhap you ought not look at all."*
