Dear Diary,

A group of kobolds agreed to stay on Floor 93 next cycle until we get here. They’ll all be staying in the inn, but will hang out in the shops. Nat and Gin will be in my diner, Emmy (who won Mika’s blacksmith competition a couple cycles ago) will stay at the smith’s shop, Jon (the drummer) will hang out in Aya’s (surprisingly soundproof) shop, and two kobolds named Pep and Lee who are in Lily’s book club will split their time between the other three buildings.

We don’t know if they’re strong enough as a group to beat off a group of hobgoblins, but Aya said people being here should surprise any intruders enough that they might run away.

I hope so.

Because yeah, we went up and did some damage.

We decided to go to the hobgoblins and ask why they’d destroyed our floor. If they apologized, said they were drunk or something, fair enough. We’d just warn them to not do it again. If they didn’t apologize, we’d beat them up. And if they were super rude we’d destroy their houses.

So, only six players are allowed to fight at a time. When two or more groups enter a not-safe floor at the same time, there’s a… split. The players only see the people in their party, while the non-players kinda experience everything at once.

The Sams say it’s weird but you get used to it.

The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

Anyways, we couldn’t all go up at once, in the same party. Avi and Y didn’t want to go at all. Since it was our floor that got wrecked, the Sams decided to not go until after we came back.

So the group that went up was me, Aya, Mika, Kimi, Lily and Staab.

The old group. It was kinda nostalgic.

We went up, and asked what the heck. The ghosts and hobgoblins were super snarky. They obviously didn’t want to be nice or apologize.

Soooooo we tied them up and threw them into lava, then went to their houses and threw most of their stuff into lava, too.

Just the stuff that the Admin can replace. Like beds and chairs. We didn’t touch anything they’d obviously spent time and effort making.

And then Mika brought out spray paint, and we vandalized the heck out of their buildings. It was fun.

I’m pretty sure all the Sams did was go up and punch them to death.

But yeah, we made our feelings clear. The Admin said he can’t stop them from coming down next cycle if they have keys, but oh well. If they decide to escalate matters from here on, then we’ll build something like the lotus trap for them. I’m pretty sure they won’t, though.

…Avi hasn’t talked to me since we got back. He didn’t come over for dinner, which is the first time, like, ever.

I’m… not sure what to do about that.

Kimi’s still in the diner, doing something with something, so I guess Y isn’t talking to her, either.

On the plus side, Staab made a joke and Lily laughed at it earlier, so, yay?

…I think I’m gonna go talk to Kimi.

Goodnight, Dungeon.
