Progression

Stay out of city hall (ch. 1, ch. 6); Free Wynne from his bondage, failed inside five minutes (ch. 6, ch. 7); Squeeze out the Juice Box, seventy-five minutes to save a town, won to the AI's disgust (ch. 10, ch. 12); The Gate of the Feral Gods (ch. 15, ch. 27); a bronze one to shelter a town with balloons (ch. 15); the group quests Where the Red God Glows and The Dumber of the Flunkies, no opt-out, Carl the host (ch. 29, ch. 30); the world quest Get Orthrus, failed by everyone, punished with monkey soup (ch. 30, ch. 31); Emberus's own: Find Out Who Killed My Son and Kill Hellik, with smites as deadlines (ch. 32). Mordecai's rule for anything marked feral — 'Stay away from anything marked that' (ch. 9) — does not survive the floor.
