Desperado Club

the Desperado Club · the club

The crawlers' non-saferoom nightclub — dance floor, casino, and bar where deals, drinks, and killings happen.

Story so far

The Desperado Club is the crawlers' recurring nightclub, found on The Iron Tangle as a small dive bar at transfer stations whose numbers end in 1 (its counterpart, Club Vanquisher, ends in 9). Carl and Princess Donut visit to meet Elle McGib and Imani, hire cretin bodyguards, and gamble at Tito's wheel of fortune. Crucially, it is not a saferoom: a knife-wielding crawler ambushes a drunk Donut on the dance floor, and her Cockroach skill lets her kill him in self-defense, earning her first player-kill skull.

Assistant manager Astrid smooths it over. Spiral stairs descend toward the Hunting Grounds and Larracos.

Appearance

A neon-signed nightclub with a thumping EDM dance floor, a bar, a jazz-scored casino of card and wheel games, tuxedoed Crocodilian and cretin bouncers, and guarded spiral staircases leading down.

Role

The crawlers' social/gambling hub and a lawless, non-safe meeting ground.

Relationships

Astrid — Its deadly fairy assistant manager who enforces order.
Princess Donut — Earns her first player-kill skull on its dance floor.
