Acanthus would have killed for an in-game option to turn off smells. All of floor nine had been a nightmare. Sharp, burning odors; the coppery tang of metalworking; and worst of all, the sulfur. The incessant smell of sulfur overwhelmed her wherever she was on the floor. Out of a hundred floors, they can’t all be good. And maybe it was good to some players. Hell, there were (scarce) housing options on this level. But the only kind of person Acanthus could imagine enjoying this atmosphere was some kind lizard without a sense of smell, taste, or sight.

Acanthus hung over her stone stein in the tavern Hot and Coldera. She decided to wait here because it was the tavern in Knorlit Village with the best ventilation. What she didn’t know was that the “ventilation” in question was actually vents from even deeper underground, spewing even hotter, more sulfurous air. She sighed, taking another drink of watery, non-alcoholic beer. She hoped Rencesvals would be here soon. He was her partner in today’s trip across the hellish expanse. The ultimate goal: a new TECH art for her collection. She felt like a Pokémon trainer trying to collect the various sword arts.

Once Rencesvals arrived, the two could go and find the broker, travel to the inferno cabin—and leave floor 9 behind for good.
