Karl led the group inside, taking note of who was in their spaces.
Hawk was resting in his usual branch, and Remi was working on a new recipe in her swamp, as the labs in the Tiny World and the Guild House were both working on products for sale. Everyone else was busy with something, and even Cara hadn't snuck back in to cause chaos at the last moment.
The moment that the whole group was inside the dungeon, a message appeared.
{Please select your difficulty level between 1 and 5}
Karl looked at the group. "This is all on you. I'm good with any of the options, but I can't guarantee that some of you won't get one shot killed on the highest difficulties."
"They're that bad?"
Karl nodded. "Maximum difficulty is no joke. But the rewards should be equally impressive. The System is in charge of them, and it tends to reward feats of strength very well."
The group quietly conferred for a second, then came to Karl for verification.
