Dear Diary,

I've built some more new challenges over the last few days. I've been really trying to incorporate different fae myths that I've learned about over the years in the process of building the second floor. I actually used to really love reading fairy tales and stories with different factions of fae portrayed in them when I was young, so I've had a lot of inspiration to draw from. As an adult, most of my focus was on more pop culture mythology like goblins and slimes used in your typical fantasy games and animes, but it isn't like I have to worry about my memory being obscured.

It's actually a bit weird to be able to remember things from as young as when I was four years old. Memories that I thought were lost to time, as I grew up, I can now relive in my dreams or think of as easily as flipping a light switch. They don't have light switches here, but, well, I suppose my way of speaking will always be influenced by my life before I reincarnated.

Anyhow, I made one challenge inspired by the idea of fairy circles that I aptly named 'fae circles'. It's a bit of a diagram approach to making a challenge with the adventurers having to place items in the intersecting areas that relate to both of the individuals in the outermost sections. I'm sure it will sound overwhelmingly difficult to complete for some adventurers, at first glance, but they really just need to think outside the box. Maybe two adventurers use the same style of backpack to carry their gear in, maybe their names both share a letter in common, or any number of other things. They don't even have to have anything too complicated to satisfy the challenge requirements, just write a word or letter on a piece of paper to represent the answer or place an object if they do have one on them.

I also ended up making a challenge I decided to call 'mystery falls'. I added a waterfall, river, and bridge to the room so that's why the 'falls' portion is there while the 'mystery' is because it requires the a password to be said allowed to complete the challenge. I ended up having an elderly pixie couple join my dungeon and I wanted something that wasn't physically demanding that they could still help with. Originally, I was summoning pixies for the 'fae circles' challenge, but I didn't realize that not only gender, but age could vary so much. I guess that will be something I'll have to plan around in the future.

Both of these challenges involve adventurers having to directly interact with the pixies, which I did on purpose. The pixies often times harbor grudges against the adventurers who visit the dungeon while adventurers have a tendency to reinforce that idea by killing everything they come across to eliminate any potential threats they might pose. I'd really rather not have the adventurers killing my pixies as they aren't exactly dangerous and they are far too sentient to be forced to die repeatedly. I still remember how awful it was to be on the receiving end of that thanks to David and I just don't want them to suffer from a similar fate.
