Progression

Rank 6 and a bounty in the opening line (ch. 1); the announcement makes it hunting season (ch. 3); the first attempt is a dagger in Donut's back (ch. 8); the PVP coupons — 'Ah, betrayal. Sweet, delicious betrayal' — with Carl's name on the back (ch. 18); phased bolts that kill without a skull (ch. 22). Katia claims the first bounty of the season by accident and jumps to level 37 — the highest in the dungeon, Carl guesses (ch. 23, ch. 24), until he learns that Quan Ch is higher (ch. 25); the board reshuffles — Carl 3, Donut 4, Quan Ch 5, Katia 8 (ch. 25); a second champion falls somewhere else (ch. 34).
