Opening

The dungeon groaned. It fucking groaned.

Summary

The dungeon groans. The thirteen freed dingoes flee into the halls as a pack; a Master Pen Key that works once for a non-kobold; an arena stained red under a wall of bones; and ten cages of pitiful animals with two achievements announcing a pet reward room and telling each of them the prize is theirs.

A Riven Wing, a slime, a rat, a Tummy Acher with a mohawk, a brindle grub Carl wants — and, in the last cage, a seven-inch raw-chicken dinosaur with pink feathers that Donut must have. Thirty seconds to choose. Mongo comes out biting, eats a biscuit, bites her nose, and is named. 'I knew we should’ve gone with the grub.'

Characters

• Mongo — Chosen and named; bites everyone.
• Princess Donut — 'Please, please, please! I'll never ask for anything ever again.'
• Carl — Wanted the grub; opens the cage.

Locations

• The Second Floor — The kobold arena and menagerie.

Motifs

• Achievements — I'll take the ceramic dalmatian, Pat! / Menagerie!
• Loot boxes — 'The goddamned room is the reward.'
