The green figure doesn't really have any identifying features. He just looks like a muscular dude. Then again, so does Sam, so perhaps the visual representation might not reflect anything. "Weird," the man says, "That shouldn't be possible. Having two people in the system, that is. It only has the capacity for one brain mapping. You can call me Yoshi."

The green figure says, "Not sure how long I've been in here. Don't have a watch or any other way to tell time. A week or two maybe? We've got one big guy through that door over there, if you want to lend me a hand."

The green figure says, "Well, I've died plenty of times and been perfectly fine. So long as the machine is being used as intended, there should be no real danger to us. There aren't supposed to be two minds in here though, so it currently isn't being used as intended. Can't tell you what happens because I don't know what's been changed. Maybe we become one person? Who knows?"

"Big guy. Looks something like a mix between a demon and a minotaur and it tosses big balls of energy that hurt something fierce. So far I've been killed by him every time I've faced him, but maybe with your help, that could change. Who exactly are this 'they' you keep talking about anyway?"

Sam thinks about the description the presumably Nakamats avatar gave him of the guy behind the door to try to figure out if he knows what that character is and a strategy for dealing with it. ((4 hits))
To the presumably Nakamats he says, "The Yamaguchi.
I am sure you knew that.
They built this machine.
Who else could I have meant?"

"None of them are smart enough to modify it for two people though. At least none I've ever met. If they had techies among them to put towards this project, it would have progressed a lot faster. "

Sam's best guess at what the creature is, is a baron of hell. They're really tough and usually fight in pairs. Mostly they like to get up close and rip body parts off, though they can hit from afar with balls of energy, if need be. Head shots are the easiest way to take them down, but easier said than done. "Why does it matter one way or the other? You have a lot of nosy questions for someone who shouldn't exist. Just who are you really?"

The man doesn't answer for a moment, but eventually says, "Guess I was told stuff before I got in here. Anyway, there's one last room to finish off before we can complete the training and I've never been able to do it on my own. How about we do it together?" He gestures to a door at the other side of the carnage.

"Could be two. Could be two hundred. I never really survive long enough to get the chance to see much other than a beefy hand ripping my head off. Not the most pleasant experience if I'm gonna be honest with you."

"Okay.
There are probably two of them.
We can try to fight them.
I am ready if you are."

Sam equips his RPG, and prepares to move towards the door with Probably NakaMats.

"Great, let's do this," he says gesturing to the last door. As you take a good look at it, it has a red frame, probably indicating that it requires a red keycard. Any lingering doubts are cleared when he holds up a red keycard and says, "I've got the key. When I open the door, head in, but be careful. They are pretty fast and absolutely will charge you and tear you to pieces before you know what's going on if you let them. Keep your guard up, got it? "Now as soon as I open this door, it's on. They could be anywhere. Possibly right on the other side, or possibly hidden looking to ambush us. Don't let them catch you or it's over. Here we go. Three.... two... one..." He then unlocks the door and waits for Sam to go. On the other side of the door is a large room, with stairs leading up to a platform in the center. There is currently no obvious sign of any barons of hell.

Sam can't remember barons of hell acting in the way that Presumably NakaMats described. He cautiously peers in the door, looking for any non obvious signs of danger. ((4 hits))

The room is large, star shaped, and filled with barrels of suspicious goo. Beyond those and the platform in the center, there aren't a lot of features to the room, nor places to hide.

Sam thinks back to playing Doom and tries to remember what the suspicious goo barrels are. ((5 hits))

In games, suspicious goo barrels usually serve as things to shoot at that explode, ideally damaging nearby enemies. Presumably they serve the same purpose here, but there is no way to know for sure without shooting one.

Sam moves cautiously into the room, his RPG raised.

RPG at the ready, Sam cautiously makes his way into the room and towards the central platform. A pair of pillars rise from the ground at the top of the stairs and once they've fully risen, they open to reveal two very large demons who roar menacingly. The door behind Sam slides shut and the muffled voice on the other side shouts, "Thanks for helping out! Let me know when you finish them off!" (initiative)

Sam does his best to keep his distance from both barons of hell, and also from the barrels in case the baron shoots an energy ball at him that explodes a nearby barrel. He aims at the one on his left and shoots an RPG at it. ((4 hits))

The demons charge at Sam as he fires off a rocket in the direction of one of them, hitting it square in the chest. The rocket explodes, injuring it, but not stopping it. They respond by hitting Sam with a pair of green energy attacks that slam Sam into a wall. ((4P damage))
