“Mac! Did you hear that?”
“No.”
“We can go to a giant dungeon to learn more about kobold and dragon history!!”
“Oh.”
“Do we have to?”
“This place has ORIGINAL stories! Not just what’s been taught or passed down!”
“I’m sure it would be fascinating, but how big of a dungeon are we talking about?”
“Maybe seven or eight times bigger than the last one.”
“…”
“…”
“Of course, the actual library part is only on the deepest levels.”
“…”
“…”
“Well, that settles that.”
“Not necessarily.”

“Don’t forget the rest of us have your back.”
“We’ve got enough other allies to keep an eye on the manor for a while. All of us will go with you. If we keep all the monsters in the upper levels busy, the two of you can focus on searching the library.”
“But that sounds so dangerous. You’d really do that?”
“Of course. You’ve been taking care of us all for months. Cooking, cleaning, first aid while the children ride the suicide wheel planks…”
*crick*
If it’s for Mac, we can handle anything.
“We don’t have to go right now, but whenever you’re ready, give us the word and we’re there.”
“There, see!”
“We can do this, Mac. If you want to.”

“…Th-thank you, everyone.”
I LOVE Lara’s upside down hair. 😀
Thanks for caring enough about this story and its characters to pay attention to details on this level, LSN..
Now I wish that we had taken a Big Mushroom to the preceding dungeon.
Wait, Amadeusz: “Sketchy: Prevents accumulation of bond with other characters when taken to a dungeon.” – but Macadamia can get a bond from finishing the lower levels without Amadeusz, right?
I don’t see Amad offering to help. He may be the one staying behind.
Ricki: So, we’re all going to go wreck the Arachnomancer Hideout too, right?
Sue: Nope, this is only possible when the others are off screen and uncontrollable by the comments section, not like they could manage actions for 9 people anyway. Even with Discord!
Ricki: What’s the comments section?
I wonder if we can get bond during Mac’s bond dungeon 😮
Probably not. As understand, they are not going to actually dungeon crawl with us, just fight offscreen, and actual party will be just Ricki + Mac. So, no additional bond in bond dungeons.
