Call out into the darkness to the strange man you saw earlier. Wield the strange object like an assault rifle to increase intimidation if needed

You head deeper into the poobyrinth, calling out for the man you thought you saw earlier, now wielding your... object, like a revolver or smg, or whatever. You don't know anything about firearms. No answers are given in the distance, so you put on the scariest face you can muster in case he tries a sneak attack or something.
