Dear Diary,

So, the, erm, the players can’t pass floor 97. They keep complaining about how the kobolds have OP fire magic now.

It’s been kinda hard pretending that we have no clue why that would be. Pretty much all the players have ranted to me about it. I’m worried, Aya is furious, and Lilly thinks it’s hilarious. Kimi told Y that they need to stop using magic, and he said that if they stopped now people would think it’s weird. So they can’t. Which, I guess that makes sense, but it would be better if they stopped.

Oh, the wolves have stopped attacking people who give them meatballs. So I’m less worried about them. I hope they’re ok.

One group of players came through who are min-maxers. I don’t really get it, but Kimi said that it’s a way of playing where you focus on getting really good at one thing to the detriment of everything else. Which, erm, is kind of what we’ve been doing. She says it’s different, though.

Anyways, this group has a catgirl who uses fire magic and close-range weapons. Kimi wrote down what spells she uses and is going to start practicing with them. Then there’s an orc who has stupidly high defense. He’s big enough that the rest of the group can hide behind him. Then there’s an… otter? He kinda looks like a giant otter. Anyways, he has water magic, and has a bunch of good AOE spells. Apparently there are a lot of water levels, and he gets bonuses in them from being an otter. Next is a flying vampire who uses a pair of crossbows. And lastly is an elf woman who uses charm magic and is the healer of the group. She has pink hair, so I guess pink magic is charm. Lilly says that charm magic is stupid strong, but only works on enemies that think, like the kobolds. It doesn’t work on slimes or sharks. So it’s only worth getting if you’re in a group that can take care of lots of enemies without you.

Anyways, the min-maxers failed at getting past floor 97, and were really really mad about it. They complained a lot. They’re a group that doesn’t buy meatballs, so I didn’t like them to begin with, but now I really don’t like them. Plus they all ordered strawberry milkshakes. I kind of hope they get through fast, so that I don’t have to deal with them again.

The players like Via. A lot of them have been here before, so they remember Dorothy. They know what the inn used to look like, and are a lot happier with how it is now. We all are, really. I mean, Dorothy was nice, I don’t want to talk bad about her, but having Via around is a whole lot better. And Via likes working at the inn. She says she feels better as a catgirl than she did as a siren, when she was expected to attack people.

Anyways, I hope the kobolds don’t get into trouble because we gave them magic. I’d feel really bad about that. I hope the players get through soon.

But not too soon, because then I’ll be bored again.

Goodnight, dungeon!
