Buckman

Buckman can be encountered on the first floor, within the Inner Hall past the Courtyard. Running in a panic, he is shocked to find that you are both alive and not a monster. He claims to have lost his sense of time and is unsure if he has been trapped in the dungeon for weeks, months, or possibly years.

After hiding in a nearby cell, Buckman advises that the only way to survive in the dungeon is stealth.

If the player defeats the torturer and then returns to tell Buckman about it, they can later find him on the 2nd basement floor with the heavy knight. If the player does not inform Buckman and instead simply leaves the floor, he will not return to his companion.

Further, if Buckman is reunited with the heavy knight in the basement, a unique dialog option will appears where Buckman admits to fearing the rest of their party is most likely still dead. The heavy knight will suggest they only worry about their own well being now and to continue going deeper in the dungeon.

If the player recovers the third party member and helps them to the basement, the other two party members will now be gone. Later, you will encounter the heavy knight and Buckman now fused into a "marriage" of flesh.
