Bonecrusher the Black walked through the amusement park as an elf, heading for the carousel. A part of him felt that he should stay a dragon, or become a kobold. The other options were for other people.

But he didn’t like being a kobold. The form felt far too small after spending years being ten times larger than everyone else. And he simply wouldn’t fit into the park as a dragon.

The carousel, just a series of benches and picnic tables that slowly spun, wasn’t the most popular ride in the park, but he liked it. It sat in the exact center, so he could see everything and everyone while riding it. He hopped on as it was still in motion and took a seat.

There were half-dragon potions, but the other half was whatever you already were. So a kobold would become a half-kobold half-dragon. Lewis would become a half-dragon… half-dragon. Which wasn’t helpful.

A noise distracted him from his musings. He turned around to see a pack of feathered raptors running through the park. They tackled a group of goblins, ripping limbs and heads off with insanely sharp teeth. One screeched, and they took off for the trampoline area. People ran as they bit and slashed everyone in their path.

As the carousel continued on, Lewis saw one raptor had green markings, and another had nearly holographic silver stripes in its feathers. They passed out of view, but the screams continued. He watched a pair of yetis run towards the commotion, looking very upset.

Lewis smirked.

Dear Diary,

So, before now, the players usually were grouped up in the same ten floors. Sometimes a party would pull ahead, and sometimes a group would fall behind, but usually it wasn’t a difference of more than ten.

But now, with the shortcuts, players are just all over the place. One party has reached Floor 50, while there are two parties still on Floor 16. This is annoying, cuz it means the NPCs are stuck on their floors longer, and there’s a super cool place to go!

I don’t know if the Admin is going to see this as a “problem” though. I mean, fighting players is everyone’s job (other than catgirls), so working more should be fine. And it’s not like they won’t be able to visit at all.

In other news, running through a crowded amusement park with a pack of dracoraptors is very fun. Avi and I put on belts and joined them, just to get the full “raptor” experience. The panicked screams of NPCs are something I will remember for years to come.

Although apparently we broke a rule or something by setting a bunch of murder dinos loose in the park, so the yetis sent us all home and banned us from the floor for the rest of the cycle. I’d like to grumble about how unfair it is, and how not-fun the yetis are, but no. They have a point.

It was totally worth it, though.

And people still come through to the inn and diner, so it’s not like we’re not busy.

If it wasn’t a risk of getting us perma-banned, I’d try to figure out how to get Avi as a spinosaurus sized dinosaur. I’m sure there’s some kind of growth potion out there that could be combined a couple times to get him there.

I wonder what would happen if I put two potions into a batch of cookies. Like, how much would you grow from eating one cookie? Would it be two potion’s worth of growth? Or if there were eight cookies, would it be ¼ a potion’s worth?

Time to make some cookies!

Goodnight, Dungeon!
