Pet Leveling Acceleration

accelerated pet leveling

Rules change the Reavers pushed for, whose hidden purpose Elle discovers is a nasty surprise on the naga side.

Story so far

Carl had asked Elle to find out why the robot guys — the Reavers — wanted pet leveling to be accelerated. At the end of the chapter she chats him to say she found out, and that it constitutes a new problem: they have another nasty surprise ready on the naga side because of it.

The irony is thick, since the entire chapter is Carl exploiting accelerated pet leveling himself — feeding dazed Skank Skunk Warriors to Rend until the meatball reaches level 8, high enough to regenerate on death, which Carl still calls not good enough. Carl, retching in a skunk cloud, can only answer "Can't wait. See you soon."

Role

A negotiated rules change whose true purpose turns out to be a Reaver weapon rather than a concession.

Relationships

Reavers — Pushed for the acceleration for a hidden reason.
Elle — Uncovered what they intend to do with it.
Rend — The pet Carl is racing to level under the same rules.
