There are actually a few exits to the pipe, according to the map. However it simply skips a few floors at a time, perhaps being used as an emergency escape... if they cared enough for such things. Thanks to the bridge, she has a bit of a head start and may even be able to lose the pursuers, although they do seem very persistent.<br/><br/>Finally, having run up the stairs, feet tapping away surprisingly quietly on the metal floors, not once losing her balance in the swaying building, she makes it to the corridor that should, in theory, access the pipe. She sees it. However she also sees something else. Worse still, it seems to see her.<br/><br/>About fifteen feet ahead, there is the metal hatch. It uses a wheel to open/close, and has no obvious locking mechanism. From the look of things, she could fit down the tunnel without a problem, but without leg room. Forty feet ahead of that, however, is the other thing. It looks like a human, if humans come in the nine foot tall variety. It is clearly male, having the triangular torso shape, rippling with powerful muscles, the skin glistening with oil or sweat, and a generous amount of blood as well. It wears only four obvious things:<br/><br/>Two leather boots, a bloodstained butcher's apron and, over its entire head, a small mesh steel cage, the sharp angles of it suggesting it is digging painfully into the face of the creature. The weapon it wields in a two-handed grip resembles a cleaver, except one that was adapted for warfare.<br/><br/>(Looks a little something like this: http://www.e-artists.gr/scetching/haritos/pyramid-head.jpg )
