When I am an Evil Overlord...#125
Should I actually decide to kill the hero in an elaborate escape-proof
deathtrap room (water filling up, sand pouring down, walls converging, etc.)
I will not leave him alone five-to-ten minutes prior to "imminent" death,
but will instead (finding a vantage point or monitoring camera) stick around
and enjoy watching my adversary's demise.
