Game Instructions: (see table below)

MenaceGame Instructions
0Since you don't currently have a skeleton with menace to offer, this buyer will not be as rewarding as they otherwise might be.
1Your current skeleton has only one point of menace. This buyer will pay something for that, but you aren't getting the most out of their bonus effect.
2Your current skeleton has two points of menace. More would make this buyer pay out more extensively.
3 - 4Your current skeleton has enough menace to make this buyer interesting.
5+Your current skeleton has a lot of menace. This buyer would love that.

Note that the cost of hiring the busker will be lost even if you decide not to do business with the Teller of Terrors – so be sure you have something to sell her.

Unlocked with  13-14,

Locked with  4 (This is implemented as a soft-lock more than as a hard-lock; the player can still see this option and use it to sell anything other than skeletons.)
