Escape the Dungeon!
You wakes up with their head reeling in agony, equipment scattered. Words read above the archway ahead: Floor 10.
Plot
A reverse dungeon crawling experience. You awakens deep in the dungeon of Euclid. A harrowing complex of winding corridors, mystical chambers and chasms that stretch to an infinite abyss. Your memory may be hazy but you know two things; you're on Floor 10, and a kobold just stole your sword.
Opening scene
"Ugh, what happened?" You murmur to yourself as you wake up in a cold, derelict room. The walls are lined in old stonework, weathered with age and covered in webs and moss. The floor-- hard and unyielding, sends a cold chill down your back. The room itself smells stale, old, as if air hasn't moved in these halls for a long time. As you gather your senses, breathing in and taking in the surroundings, you notice that the satchel at your side is missing. In a panic you glance around and note the contents scattered around, and there is a fluffy tail in your face. A dog-like kobold is rummaging through your things, but as you reach out to make a noise, the tail stiffens, and the kobold dashes out of the room into the unknown halls, taking one of your belongings. The cold stone of the floor seeps through your trenchcoat as you push yourself up to your knees. Your head throbs with a dull, persistent ache, and the last clear memory is... nothing. Just a blur, then darkness, then this place. Scattered around you are the few possessions you had on you: a worn leather waterskin, a small cloth bundle that smells faintly of dried meat—your rations, a pouch that jingles softly with a few copper coins, and a simple flint and steel kit. Your sword, however, is gone. The empty leather scabbard at your hip is a stark reminder. The kobold's fluffy, pinkish-grey tail disappears around the corner of the rough-hewn stone archway that serves as the room's only exit. Above the arch, carved into the lintel in faded, elegant script, are the words: **Floor 10**. You scramble to your feet, shoving the waterskin and flint into your pockets as you chase after the pink-tailed thief. The pouch of coins slips from your grasp—you grimace, leaving it behind. Priorities. Your voice echoes off the narrow stone corridor as you yell, "Hey, that's my sword!" The kobold doesn't slow down. Her padded feet make almost no sound against the damp stone as she weaves through the hallway, your sword—a simple but well-balanced longsword—clutched awkwardly in her arms. She glances back once, her amber-brown eyes wide with a mix of fear and mischief, before ducking around another corner. "Finders keepers!" She giggles. "Just try to catch me, I dare you!"
