[ NOT YET ENCOUNTERED ]
You haven't met this one yet, crawler. Records unseal as you read. The dungeon appreciates your impatience but does not reward it.
Idly testing the skills menu's search box, Carl typed in the game he had mastered as a kid on his father's basement arcade cabinet, the machine that kept him company whenever his mother locked him downstairs. The dungeon had him rated: a skill of 8 in the 1981 cabinet version, hidden by the filters as useless underground.
Carl rigs a stand-up Frogger cabinet from his fan box with a dwarven battery and spends downtime teaching Katia and Donut to play, a welcome piece of breathing room during the last two quiet days on the floor.
Remains a contested pastime in the personal space: Bomo keeps The Sledge away from the cabinet rather than let him beat Bomo's score, and The Sledge returns to it happily when the bomb launch is called off.
