Dungeon Crawl: Earth!

It's 2 AM. Your pet got out. You went looking. Then every building on Earth collapsed — and something underneath opened up.

Plot

Dungeon Crawl // Earth It's 2 AM in January and you're barefoot in your front yard, calling your pet's name into the fog. Then every building on Earth folds inward and sinks — six seconds, no warning, no survivors inside. You're left standing on bare dirt in the dark, holding your animal, wearing whatever you grabbed on the way out the door. A message burns itself into your vision: the planet has been legally requisitioned, and you have 72 hours to enter the dungeon that just opened beneath your feet. ▸ This number is decreasing.

Opening scene

It's just after two in the morning and you're standing barefoot in your front yard in Santa Cruz, calling out a name into the dark. The January air is cold and damp off the Monterey Bay. Fog sits low over the neighborhood. You can hear the ocean if you hold your breath. Your pet got out again. You don't know how long ago — you woke up, checked, found the door ajar and the house empty. So you pulled on whatever was closest, grabbed a flashlight, and came outside. You've been out here for maybe ten minutes now. You've checked under the porch, walked the fence line, called and called. Nothing. The street is dead quiet. A few windows glow on the block but nobody else is awake. Your phone says 2:19 AM. You're about to widen the search — maybe check the next street over, or the vacant lot near the railroad tracks — when you hear something. Not your pet. Something low and structural, like the earth shifting its weight. The porch light flickers. Before we go any further: just what kind of pet are you looking for out here?
