### Bank Manager's Note 1

*I've never been a man who puts any stock in superstition, yet my experience today has shaken my once strict convictions. I had an unannounced visitor. He was a tall man, dressed in a finely cut suit and topcoat, all of an impenetrable black. And his face... Well peculiar as this may sound, I do not remember a damned thing about it. Not his age, the look in his eyes, or the colour of his hair. When I try to recall these details, my mind goes completely blank.*

### Bank Manager's Note 2

*But stranger still, I swear by our lord and saviour Jesus Christ that he knew about Fredrick! He knew of my only son, about his incurable disease, and not just the fact of it, but every symptom, every maddening detail! He claimed to have certain powers that he could cure my boy. All he asked in return is that I install on his behalf a safe marked with the number zero. It would be our little secret...*

### Bank Manager's Note 3

*However I try to erase it from my mind, I cannot forget the man's reply when I asked the significance of the number zero: "Well little man, every countdown ends with zero, does it not? This safe will be necessary after the end. The end of all that is." God forgive me, but I did as he asked: I concealed the accursed safe in the wall of my office two nights ago. It seems that damned motivational poster served a purpose after all. I swim in dark waters now and, God forbid, should I vanish...*

*You are exhausted. Time to give your weary body a break, secure yourself a refuge and slip beneath the shroud of subconsciousness.*

Exhaustion is prevented and alleviated through rest. Only by resting at a Campfire (Camping Supplies required) or by resting in the Old Eel Attic is the character able to recover from Exhaustion.

Black Lips

''*This section contains spoilers for major plot points in the main storyline of* Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones*, do not read this section if you wish to avoid such things.*

**Black Lips** is an NPC in *Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones,* encountered twice by the player character during the endgame sequence.

## Profile

Black Lips is an extra-dimensional being that visits the character twice during the final sequence of events transpired in *Stygian*. It takes the form of a disembodied set of eyes, along with a gleaming pair of grimacing, ghastly black lips. According to the being itself, its speech portends doom.

The black-lipped entity presents itself as an ally, offering its assistance in return of a “toll.” The toll in question is a blood sacrifice (referred to as the "Crimson Toll"), intended to weaken the character and their allies before the promised aid is given. The Black Lips warn that the Crimson Toll will be paid twice before the end, the first lighter than the second. Other than that its intentions are clearly malign, the full extent of the entity’s motivations are never revealed.

* *Thus it shall be written in the chronicle: Fallen to the Stygian Questions*

## Locations

### First Encounter

The first encounter the character has with the Black Lips occurs in the Witch House, immediately after the character returns from the Nameless Isle. It is during this encounter that the lips demand a Crimson Toll by way of the character's own blood. In return, the Black Lips grant passage through to the end of the Witch House.

### Second Encounter

The second encounter the character has with the Black Lips occurs in Nithon, once the character reaches The Black Pyramid. It is during this encounter that the lips demand a Crimson Toll from one of the character's companions. In return for sacrificing one of their companions, the Black Lips grant passage from Nithon to Miskatonic University.

## Notes

* The Black Lips appear to have the ability to reveal themselves to whomever they wish as, once at the Black Pyramid, the character's companions state they cannot see or hear the entity. The Mi-Go on Nithon also display deference to its authority
* During the concluding cinematic of the game, the Black Lips are revealed to be the Dismal Man in disguise
* The nature of the Black Lips' significance is such that the character will not be able to progress throughout the game without agreeing to its demands. As such, the Black Lips may be considered a gatekeeper of sorts, not unlike the Sphinx of Greek legend
* Refusing to pay the "Crimson Toll," either at the Witch House or at The Black Pyramid, will result in death. The former will result in the death screen known as *FALLEN TO THE STYGIAN QUESTIONS* while the latter will trigger the *TRAPPED ETERNALLY IN NITHON* death screen.
