You haven't met this one yet, crawler. Records unseal as you read. The dungeon appreciates your impatience but does not reward it.
Carl's Earth Hobby Potion handed him Level 3 in a skill called Cesta Punta. Neither he nor Donut recognized the name; Carl wondered if it was some kind of martial art, while Donut guessed it was probably the art of cracking walnuts with his toes.
In the same message, Carl asked Brandon whether he had any idea what Cesta Punta was, still unable to place the skill his hobby potion had given him.
Turning the skill over in his head while examining his fan box prize, Carl finally placed Cesta Punta: not a martial art as he'd guessed, but jai alai, a fast, dangerous, squash-like sport played by catching and throwing a ball with a scoop-shaped basket.
Carl's own fan box prize turned out to be a xistera, the wicker and metal scoop a jai alai player straps to their arm to catch and hurl the ball, and his hobby-potion knowledge of the sport let him rig and use it immediately.
Fleeing through the city with his new dungeon-given speed, Carl reflected that few team sports trained cardio as hard as basketball, guessing tennis, soccer, and probably jai alai belonged on that list too.
