You approach the desk and, as you draw closer, you see that the creature has no legs. Its body rests in a crevice hollowed out from the seat of its stool. Its bulbous body is wedged there like an egg in a cup.

‘Report your news, brother,’ it says, impatiently, ‘I am waiting for you to begin.’

If you decide to try to bluff your way past, turn to 108.
