Reads you before you move.
Hollow Man
Barry's ward, in front of a door that only his death opens
What it is
He was Barry, the town's medic, and the best of them. When the thing at the stairs began killing the patrol, he went at the bodies to learn why, and stopped sleeping.
Then he began opening the dying, and could not stop wanting to know. He grew the sight to know what is wrong with anyone before they say it. Everything on this floor eats differently because of him.
A man still crouches behind a barricade of cots by the ward. He watched Barry open every one of his companions.
How it fights
He sees what you lock in before he chooses, and guards the part you were about to hit. Nothing clever fools him. Do the plain thing, hard, where he is not looking.
He keeps a scalpel for himself: it cuts him first, then heals him for more.

Abel's notes
Reads you before you move.
Barry, once - the town's medic. Stands in the only way on and reads your plan before you play it. It knows which part you will guard. It is fooled by nothing clever - only by doing the plain thing, hard, where it is not looking.
Jerome's word
Barry, still.
That was Barry. He set my arm once and asked nothing for it. What stands there now reads you the way he read a wound - before you know it yourself. Do not try to be clever with him. Pray for him after.
Once you have met it
High Dangerous. Come rested, with something in the bag.

Barry's Scalpel
1Buff
- CUT: lose 24 health first
- HEAL 36
He cut out what was wrong. It always grew back a little less.
One of his patients, gone the way he went, and drawn the way the Hollow Man looked before he was Barry. It stands on no map: burn a Patient's Tag at a campfire, and it comes.
Smaller and slower than Barry, and it does not see what you lock in.
Once you have met it
Medium It can hurt you. Do not walk into it half dead.
