Carl and team get a reward for making the stairwell with a bounty on them. Carl also learns that the bounties double (and rewards if they survive). As they come out of the floor, they are surrounded by sand and wind. They were warned that they would not be able to cooperate much with the other crawlers. Princess Donut chooses the Glass Cannon class with the hope that it will increase her constitution by 15 for the floor. She didn’t always get all the benefits of the class. She got all the benefits but the constitution bump which means they need to keep her out harm’s way.
As the team pushes through the sandstorm, they send clockwork Mongos ahead to search for Mobs. They can only communicate through chat. They do a find a portal to the subterranean level, but they can’t enter until they clear the castle. They keep trudging forward toward a town that Mordecai told them to head to and finally make it into Humptown. The camel (a Dromedarian) at the gate tells them they have to pay a toll. Carl gives him a blitzstick and they get to enter but are told to stay away from city hall.
As soon as they walk past the guard, they get a quest to find out what’s in city hall. The camels take down the sandstorm protections in record time. They finally run into Mordecai and he is a skyfowl but he isn’t exactly what he was originally. He is a cleric and he can’t fly. They are in a dome, which are being called Bubbles and they are above tombs. There seem to be a lot of changelings and Mordecai warns the team to be wary of them. They have 15 days to clear the floor and there are only about 3 dozen other crawlers that are all underpowered. They have to organize them to storm the Gnome castle to get to the stairwell. What could possibly go wrong?
