Room 87: East End of Hallway

High-Level Summary

Room 87 is the east end of a hallway in Lolotte's castle. The room features a plain wooden door leading to the castle interior, a table with a candelabra, and three dancing goons (if not hostile) or one hostile henchman (if hostile state triggered). The room connects to rooms 86 (west), 84 (south), and 88 (north). The player can encounter Lolotte's henchmen here, who may chase the player if they get too close after the henchman has become hostile.
