Progression

Trumpets and a tab (ch. 4); Mordecai's rule — skip them until you are ahead of the curve — and a floor spent breaking it. The Show Must Go On (gold, an Elite and a city boss); The Sex Workers Who Fell from the Heavens (silver, a mystery with a story for an ending); The Fools Who Broke the Glass (an event, eighty crawlers, no opt-out). Hadji and Bandit upgrades, then patched away (epilogue).
