Story:
Howard Tencer was once a famous entrepreneur who became a large business magnate. His biggest accomplishment in life was funding and building the large cruiseship "the crossing enterprise", who he would set foot on during it's maiden voyage. However during the trip from Virginia to the carribeans it dissapeared into the bermuda triangle. For many years there was no news and many thought it's passengers had dissapeared entirely. Then suddenly Howard Tencer appeared again 19 years later on, beached up and with strange markings carved on his body, along with a strange new tail that he tries to hide. Being the sole survivor of the ship, the families of it's victims now blamed him, called him a murderer and sought recompensation from him. Attempts on his head were made. Confronted with the guilt and shame he sought out the patrons desperately for help.

Notes:
-You can remove the entire pavilon near midboss, the bridges connecting to it would remain.
-If the building is spawned back in, players are forcefully pushed back into it's normal geometry. Always prioritizing to push the player up first, then checking collisions on sides if it's valid then picking the closest one.
