Theme · Book 3, The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook

The mobs are victims

The Hoarder begs in Spanish to be sent to Jesus; the Juicer is proud of Carl for fighting through the pain; the tuskling courtesans seem to have no memory of the ball; the goblin shamanka wants only to breed in peace deeper down. Mordecai warns it will not always be so, and that there are no gods here — only those who pay for the privilege.

Progression

This is the floor that makes the theme a plot. Vernon's wife (ch. 5, ch. 6), Madison's apartment (ch. 17), Tizquick's daughter (ch. 21), Widget's stew (ch. 17), Brandy's children (ch. 14, ch. 34): NPCs given paper-thin lives and left to find the edges. The mobs are addicts by design, dying three times (ch. 12, ch. 31). Carl's own hands are on it — Gary, the mantaurs — and his entry in the Cookbook says so, and that killing them is a mercy, and that the killers of the makers is the unfinished work (ch. 34). Brandy: 'we shouldn't be enemies in this.' Madison, hanged by her own employees, is the other ending (ch. 31).
