Tenner

A crawler who bowed out on the tenth floor rather than continue, a category Boomer belongs to.

Story so far

A tenner is someone who bowed out on the Tenth Floor instead of continuing the crawl. Boomer is one: after leaving on the tenth, he survived as a merchant on the sixth floor for many, many seasons before finally escaping.

His story shows what a tenner's life can become. He survived one of the earliest seasons of Dungeon Crawler World, became an outspoken critic of the crawl, got banned from Crawl Con, killed a man in a waystation brawl over an argument about the crawl, vanished into the ether with a warrant on his head, became a legend, and eventually resurfaced as a colonel in the Princess Posse.

Role

The status of a crawler who exits at the tenth floor, the path Boomer took out.
