You see his light scanning the room, then focus on the drum you just opened. His footsteps grow nearer as you crouch even further. He scans the room in front of him as he passes you by. He walks over to the drum and starts to investigate it. You have your slingshot pulled back and ready. He doesn't seem to be armed but resembles the other mad man in appearence. Do you want to shoot now and ask questions later, or see if he leaves?

Well it is the guy from before, the blood in his hair must be from where we hit him... shoot now, shoot again later!

IS he bleeding? Or wet?

It's a little too dark to see if it's blood, or just dirt. It can't be the other mad man, he's floating face down in the Delaware somewhere. Just then, he lifts his light from the drum over to the sewer opening, then walks to it. He peers down below, seeing the blood on the floor near the glass. The bastard got into the sewers, you hear him say. You have to reposition slightly to get a shot, this will expose your position more. If he swings his light around you could be seen. If you stay where you are, he can't see you with his light and he might just enter the sewer. Do you still want to shoot?

theres an uncomfortable feeling in me, thinking about shooting someone from behind...

No me! I say blast away. He's gonna figure out someone's down here and he might just run back up the stairs and call others. Besides I wanna examine him if we're going to be running into lots of these guys. Shoot early and often I say.

with any luck he'll fall down the hole and bust his skull.

Alright then, shoot it is.

Try to grab an empty barrel and run for the stairs, then throw the barrel at him when he comes after you.
