I am posting three things in three separate posts. A map + 3 chapters (229, 230, and 231). This map will greatly assist with the comprehension of the scene I'm about to drop. I will pin the post containing chapter 229.
Time until Phase Two. Six hours.
Zev: You two need to be back in four and a half hours. You’re going on Odette’s show, and you’re going to walk straight from there to the Phase Two onboarding chamber.
Donut: OKAY ZEV!

2022-11-11 02:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostWe know what the totems are. We have something called a combo card. The only combo that isn't going to be on this list is Raul and Geraldo, because I have a plan for them.
Which two totems should be combined into a single creature?

Spiders. By the gods, why? In our world, they only exist in myth, but apparently, they’re a real thing and are common in the universe. What sort of nightmare must the Creators have been having to design such a thing? 2022-10-18 14:05:16 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey everyone. A quick, minor retcon to the previous chapter… We learned that Carl and Donut had received a dozen Size-Up potions from Prepotente after Carl read the book to them, and Donut had used the potion on the bats to determine they weren’t worth flagging. (The potions give the stats of a monster) Donut had received...
2022-10-06 00:43:08 +0000 UTC View PostI took a quick glance over my shoulder to make certain there were no fellow crawlers watching, and then I took a step inside the room. My view counter was absolutely spiked, so I knew there was no way I’d get through this without Donut eventually finding out. I sighed and let the sticky,...

Donut gasped. “Hi, Juice Box! I’ll tell Louis we saw you!”
“Hello Donut. Hello Carl,” she said. “Gotta talk fast. Experience tells me I have but moments before they swarm the place.” Her gaze turned to Prince Stalwart. Her form shifted, and she turned into a facsimile of the angry orc, bu...
