MAP24: Perhaps Now the Vultures is the twenty-fourth map of the second episode of Back to Saturn X. It was designed by Richard Frei (Tarnsman) and uses the music track "Petrichor (Blood of the Stone)," composed by James Paddock (Jimmy).
The map is notable for consisting entirely of a large number of arch-viles -- between 30 and 47 of them -- plus monster corpses that might be resurrected by them.

Walkthrough
Essentials
You start facing an alcove with green armor. Proceed past that to either side to an area with a backpack and some health. Press the switch to lower teleporters on either side. Either brings you to the main area of the map, which is a maze-like grid of passages.
You will teleport at one end of a walkway, facing south. Directly ahead of you will be a super shotgun, with a box of shells on either side. To the east/left as you approach the SSG are two connected side passages, which will spring the first of the 'viles upon you. At the end of the second side passage is a berserk pack; south of that, a yellow door.
To the west of where the SSG was is another passage. Around the corner is some health and two boxes of bullets. As you move through this area, you'll wake another 'vile ahead of you, and one more who will teleport in near the SSG. Further ahead, in the northwest corner of the maze, will be a chaingun -- along with more 'viles. Following the passage south will bring you to a door needing a blue key, and release more 'viles behind you.
The ledge east of the blue door is a lift; take it up to a platform that overlooks parts of the maze. You'll find the yellow key here. Picking up the key will lower the adjacent wall, revealing another 'vile -- plus the rocket launcher and some boxes of rockets.
Jump down and proceed back through the yellow door and another 'vile. The passage leads south to a lift. Take it up to the eastern raised platform area of the maze. Follow the passage as it winds around to some more ammo, plus a switch. Press the switch to lower walls behind you, and spring another 'vile upon you.
