After finding another room filled with sleeping mutants, this time 40 of them, Adyr activated Fade Sense and silently wiped out the entire group. Once they were dead, he harvested their crystals and finished his sweep of the third floor.
The fortress had a total of 4 floors, built with crude, uneven architecture. Adyr assumed the Cannibal was stationed at the top. Having found nothing else of value on the third floor, he descended to the second.
It was clear now that the third floor was reserved for low-ranking members of the gang. That only strengthened his theory: the Cannibal was on the top floor, surrounded by higher-ranked subordinates.
Normally, the lower floors of a fortress would be fortified under the assumption that enemies would attack from the ground. Placing low-ranking, cannon-fodder mutants directly beneath the boss's chamber could be considered a strategic structure, at least in theory.
Strategic might be too generous a word for a group like this.
