Dear Diary,

We got to Floor 60 yesterday, so today we set out through the dungeon as cheetahs.

Cheetahs are slightly bigger than wolves, and are more flexible. Honestly it’s kinda easier to move as a cheetah than a wolf. It’s waaay easier to jump and climb on things.

It’s not quite as “right” feeling to be a pack of cheetahs as it was to be a pack of wolves. It kinda feels like we should be solo, or at most in pairs. I think if I’m ever just in a team with Avi again we might be cheetahs. Or if I ever go solo, becoming a cheetah would be fun.

Wait, no, if I’m ever just with Avi he’ll insist we spend the whole cycle as raptors. He’s enjoying being a cheetah, but honestly he’s only wearing that belt instead of the raptor belt to be polite.

The magic color on cheetahs changes the spot color. Since cheetahs are gold/yellow, I kinda wonder what it would look like if someone with yellow magic became one. Would the spots be the same color as the rest of the fur, or would they just be a completely yellow cheetah?

Not that I’m going to try. Red spots look cool, and next cycle I’ll be back to green, so I don’t know if I’ll ever find out.

This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.

Oh, Samantha got a marble crossbow, and it looks super fun. It kinda feels like sacrilege to use a marble as a weapon instead of racing it, but if we come across another marble crossbow I might have to try it.

…She hasn’t been using it while being a cheetah. She’s just been playing with it in the camps while we wait for everyone else.

Magic still works while we’re wolves and cheetahs, which is good. We might have had to go back to being half-dragons if it didn’t. But weapons don’t really work. I mean, most weapons are designed to be held in a hand that has an opposable thumb.

Samurai tried holding a katana in her mouth, and… yeah, no, that totally didn’t work. At all. Maybe with years of practice she might be able to use it, but when she first tried it was more like a puppy bouncing around with a sharp stick than a warrior with a deadly weapon.

Anyways, we haven’t heard anything about the hobgoblins lately. I guess they think they did enough damage? We’ll see what they do when we go through their floor, if they try any tricks or anything.

Nat and Gin say they’ve been working with Emmy to make more pasta makers (with more shapes), and a couple other kitchen things. Like a potato ricer and a dehydrator.

For the dehydrator I reminded them that there’s a spell that can take the water out of pretty much anything. Gin says that’s fine, but with a dehydrator you can add spices and salt to the stuff. Which, yeah, spices and salt are always a plus.

Anyways, when we get to the catgirl floor tomorrow I’m gonna make a bunch of meatballs just so we can see how they taste as wolves.

Goodnight, Dungeon!
