Patch:Vorticon Elder

The Vorticon Elders are two Vorticons found in Keen 2; they are not sprites, but an entirely tile-based feature. The Elders themselves are tiles, and an invisible 'message tile' brings up the messages when Keen stands in it, much like the Yorp statues in Keen 1.

Messages

These are the two messages given by the elders in their respective levels. Both messages will be followed by the same footer text. If the elder is spoken to in a level that is not a message level, only the footer text will appear.
