Nine Acts Beneath the Palace

"Hello, hello! Kids, anyone want to join a game with ghosts and specters?"

"Can we skip it?"

"Oh."

"How many rounds are there in this game?"

"There are plenty, bro. A full nine rounds."

"What do we have to do?"

"Think up logical deductions, take a beating, that sort of thing. You might die once in a while, that's all."

"All right. You'd better keep your word and let us go home!"
