The party made it to the end of the geyser field without anyone dying. Kimi was, frankly, surprised at that. Yes Samurai was burned, and Staab had lost a leg, but mostly they were in one piece.
Y paused at the exit, looking back as the geysers went off again. Kimi moved next to him.
“They’re on a schedule,” she said. “I bet if we wanted to spend an hour here we could map it out perfectly.”
He nodded. “Next cycle we should. It would be fun.”
She watched his eyes. He wasn’t thinking about geyser schedules.
Avi and Nikki stopped at the exit and came back to see what they were doing.
“Why does it smell like rotten eggs in here?” Avi asked.
“I think that’s sulfur,” Nikki said.
Y smiled, his eyes moving into focus. “It is.”
“What’s so exciting about sulfur?” Kimi asked. “Other than the smell.”
He grinned at her, then looked at Avi. “Do you happen to know the three components necessary for fire?”
Avi blinked. “Erm, oxygen, fuel and… heat?”
“Indeed. It’s rather warm in here, wouldn’t you say?”
Kimi grinned. “There’s plenty of oxygen in this air.”
Nikki took a step backwards. “I’m betting sulfur is flammable.”
“Sulfur is, in fact, extremely flammable,” Y said happily.
Both Avi and Nikki took a step back. Kimi giggled.
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
Y put his arm around her. “Do you see that lovely yellow ring around the geyser there?”
“That’s sulfur?” Kimi asked, forming a fireball in her hand.
“Indeed. Go on, Bonfire, set the world ablaze.”

Dear Diary,
Ok, so, remember on page 1 of this book I said Kimi and Y were mad scientists?
Yeah, they blew up a Floor.
It was, admittedly, an epic fireball. I’m glad I was standing on the stair side of the exit when they set it off. As a result, I still have eyebrows. Kimi and Y do not. Or at least they didn’t when we got to the catgirl floor. They might have purposefully died to respawn with eyebrows by now.
I wonder if they’ll get in trouble for that. One time they burned away all the oxygen on a Floor in our old dungeon, and the Admin was nooooot happy about it. This time they exploded all the oxygen away, and probably made the Floor completely uncrossable. If I were in charge, they’d be in trouble.
Aaaanyways. Floor 26 is a floodplain with big crocodiles and huge eagles. Floor 27 is a cavern with big glowing crystal formations and crystal golems. Floor 28 was a geyser field, and is now a bunch of scorched rubble. Floor 29 is a lake of boiling hot chocolate with floating marshmallows we’re supposed to use to jump across. I’m pretty sure we could tie them together and make a raft, too.
And then Floor 30 is the catgirl floor.
There, I’ve recorded half the dungeon. I might stop for this cycle. Next cycle I’ll write what the other half is. I mean, I’ve been so focused on writing down what’s on all the Floors I’ve barely talked about the group!
So yeah, I’ll do that.
Starting tomorrow, cuz I’m tired. Even though I haven’t written all that much.
Oh well.
Goodnight, Dungeon!

From: Director To: All Players Subject: Floor 28
For the last several hours, Floor 28 has been filled with an extremely toxic gas. I’ve fixed the problem, and am looking into what happened. I apologize for any delay this may have caused your parties.
