Low Floor Undead
The worst deal at the table: fifteen seasons as undead staffing the dungeon's early floors, with a high likelihood of death and nothing but a subsistence stipend.
Story so far
The first offer read to Porthus at the Outreach Guild. Fifteen seasons - the shortest term available - with a high likelihood of death. If you survive you are out fast, but the attorney explicitly does not recommend it, and notes that nobody ever takes it unless it is the only thing they are offered. It comes with a Subsistence Stipend on release and no guaranteed housing, which the attorney insists is not as frightening as it sounds because former crawlers always find a place to live. Then he pauses and adds: 'Almost always.'
For crawlers still descending, the offer explains something about the early floors: the low-level undead they cut through may be former crawlers working off a fifteen-season term.
Role
The floor of the indenture market - the deal that shows what the crawl thinks a survivor with no leverage is worth.
