d66	Rumor
11	I heard that the financial results this year are going to be dreadful. Treasury is preparing a whole raftful of budgetary restrictions.
12	Somebody told me that Dungeon, Inc.'s biggest patron, Lord Eldermore, died without an heir. Patron Relations is in a panic!
13	A vampire told me that Live Resources was finally going to give in to undead protesters and stop using the term “Live.”
14	It seems that a powerful denizen has started to sabotage the company's business operations. Internal Relations is having a fit.
15	We've been seeing Termination more and more often, especially in the lower levels of the Dungeon. I wonder what that could mean…
16	Have you heard about Luzark of Goblo, the designer? He's obsessed with pit traps. He puts them in every single aerie he works on. Even if you don't see them on the map, you can be sure they're there!
21	Publicity is preparing a huge end-ofyear marketing campaign. We're going to be working overtime again…
22	The folks over in Marketing are trying to come up with a new client profiling system. They're calling it “attitudinal” or something like that. They really are paid to do nothing.
23	A girl from Maintenance told me that her boss's boss hired a necromancer. She's worried they are going to be replaced by zombies!
24	Apparently, there are profiteers in Supplies putting some of the loot aside before writing it down in the ledger. Bastards!
25	Do you know why the maps have so many errors? There's a group of surveyors that have a secret gambling den where they go instead of updating the maps!
26	Do you know Alamarja the jinn? A sweet bruiser. He disappeared a few days ago. Some folks were saying that he packed up and left…
31	I heard from a bigwig in Supervision that they're shutting down their operations for repairs tomorrow. We'll be blind for four hours. Of course, so will they…
32	Thurell, the boss over at Reconditioning, was terminated yesterday. I heard his projects were too costly. Betcha the next aerie to open is built with string and candlewax.
33	I heard that an entire team from Expansion disappeared last week in the depths. Last time that happened, they called the bruisers to the rescue.
34	You ever wondered where the meat in the cantina comes from? I've heard it's our clients… and sometimes the bruisers who die on the job. Meh, as long as it's tasty!
35	I can't tell you why, but a bigwig told me that Mr. Noir is a demon condemned to wander the Earth. What I don't understand at all is why he was put down here to run Dungeon, Inc. Continued on page 71
36	Some folks in Facilities and Client Services started a secret society to protest our working conditions. They're the ones that put up the posters you see in the hallways. Management would love to get their hands on the leaders!
41	You know the nobbits that run the Silver Goblet? They bring in beer from the Bright Outside. It seems that for the right price they can get whatever you want…
42	The goblin that scratches on his fiddle in the elevator to pass the time? I heard that he was a promising musician, but humans didn't want to listen to a gob and goblins don't understand music. He's seriously depressed.
43	The suggestions box on our level has caught fire. Again. They blame pipe smokers but I bet its Live Resources trying to lighten their workload.
44	I lost my pay playing cards to Viktoria from Patron Relations. I could swear she's cheating but I have no proof and I don't want to be called a tiefling-hater again.
45	Gworr was summoned to Live Resources after he was seen eating mammoth steak at the Butcher's Table, twice! How can he afford to dine there?
46	A longbeard at Reconditioning told me that Noir had a partner when he started the company. A dwarf called Davneson or something. Wonder what happened to them?
51	I had a weird dream. You and me, we were delving the depths of the Dungeon, and we ran into a seven-headed hydra, but it talked to us. No, I don't remember what it said.
52	Chang the cook says the price of crimson coffee is going to go up again. I know someone at Supplies who can get large bags. Wanna buy one together and make a profit?
53	Yesterday the employee of the month came back from a mission with an amulet. Apparently during debrief VO Aacarcerax herself popped down to have a chat. Does she collect amulets, you think?
54	Have you had colleagues preaching about their white goddess with loads of eyes? They say this place used to be holy to her cult. Weirdos… 55uThere's a tough colleague from Maintenance who runs a fight club. All participants are employees. You can bet on them, there's a league and all, and they serve really good ale too!
56	Did you know Trisha, from Surveying? She told someone that she used to work for a competing dungeon, and now she's fallen down the elevator shaft. Did you know there were competing dungeons? Wonder how they pay…
61	You know Mango, the zombie ogre? He said there's a... startup, don't ask me what that means... called Tunnels & Co, which offered him a job. With food vouchers and Mondays off! But shush.
62	I've seen this client three times now. Once it was a Karak warrior, then a fucking wood elf, and a priest of Morodin! And today, who do I see in Marzkel's office? My mate is right: the bigwigs are sending us fake clients! Consultants to test us or whatever. Better toe the line, I'm telling you.
63	Goblins are getting weirder these days, huh? Always whispering to one another, sneaking glances. Now that they got this new king in the mountains, I tell you they're up to something...
64	I heard about this kobold who's convinced she's some sort of draconic heir. Apparently she'll pay good gold to escort her to some dragon lair or other.
65	The exterminators have been ransacking our dormitories again. When will they understand that wererats spread through a curse and that traps won't help!
66	I hear the bosses are in talks with a wizard who sells Advanced Illusions. They can do anything a host can do, even kill clients! I'd be worried about your job if I were you.
