The Worm Faction

those worm guys · the worm guys

The worm-like species Louis says now controls the dungeon, and normally runs it with high-tech rather than magic.

Story so far

Puzzling over the Party Planner's odd technology mix, Louis noted that the aircraft itself is pretty high tech but the bullets it fires and the bombs it drops are still dungeon-style tech. His explanation: "they said those worm guys that control everything now usually use high-tech stuff when they run the dungeon." He wondered whether the hybrid is the compromise struck between the worms' preferences and the dungeon's established magical idiom. It's a passing but pointed observation that the dungeon's new management is visibly reshaping the rules of what crawlers can field in Faction Wars.
