Dear Diary,

Once again I feel the need to remind everyone that Avi is absolutely the cutest thing ever and I love him so much.

The dracoraptors are here.

Learning this caused six people utter curses and/or wails of despair. Kimi and Y looked resigned. I was happy, but worried they’d pretend we were complete strangers and eat us (they do that some times). And Avi…

I think the term is “glomp”. He glomped the dracoraptors. It was very cute.

They almost acted like they wanted to bite him after that, but I offered food and they left him alone. They did eat Samuel and Lily, tho.

I realize that I don’t feel the same about the dracoraptors as I do the velociraptors or wolves. I mean, no one gets to hurt our wolves. And everyone agrees.

But the dracoraptors are different. They sneak attack, and also attack unprovoked. So seeing Aya about to decapitate one with her halberd doesn’t fill me with the same horror that it would if she were about to kill a wolf. With the dracoraptors it’s… fair. I won’t help, but I understand why it must be done.

Anyways, the dracoraptors (and pterodactyls, they’re here too) are Floor 24 now. Their attacks are lower-level than what they were before, which is good. I’m pretty sure if their levels hadn’t changed one bite would have KO’d me.

Instead of three bites. …They really are kinda OP, and always have been.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

Floor 21 is a forest, but some trees are illusions. The illusion trees have levers in them that you have to pull to unlock the exit. It was a fun floor.

Floor 22 is a gingerbread floor, with a gingerbread town and gingerbread people. It’s kinda like the kobold floor, just a bunch of people you have to kill to get to the exit. Once the candy flair gets old the floor is boring. I really want to talk to the gingerbread people, though. Their lives must have been super hard to get used to at first.

Floor 23 is a maze. It’s a cave system, not a normal maze. There’s acidic goo that drips from the ceiling. Eyebats and tentacle rats are the monsters. No slimes, tho, so that’s great.

Floor 25 is a puzzle room. Like, just a puzzle. No monsters, no NPCs, not even plants. It’s just a big square room with a bunch of levers on the walls and a map on the ceiling. As soon as the whole party is in, it starts filling with water. All you have to do is pull the levers in a specific order, and the exit opens.

It’s… something different. I think Floor 21 and Floor 25 came from the same Admin. The levers look identical, and it just feels like they’re from the same place.

And we know that there are only six Admins that sent floors over. We know which floors came from our Admin. And the candy floors all came from the same Admin. That leaves four Admins with their own personalities and dungeon types. I think one of the Admins really likes puzzles, and sent puzzle floors.

And one Admin I think really likes creepy things. The cave maze and the dark forest feel pretty same-y.

Kimi is keeping a spreadsheet of what’s on each Floor. When we’re done with the cycle I think it would be fun to guess which Floors came from which Admins.

Aya went down to Floor 26 to see if we can beat it tonight, and she says no. She said it’s too big.

So we continue on tomorrow!

Goodnight, Dungeon!
