Dear Diary,
Things have been a bit chaotic in the dungeon today. I was trying to set up some new challenge rooms when I ended up summoning a pixie named Clove. He was in a frantic state as he demanded I send him back, but I didn''t really want to do so until I found out what was going on. Considering he was young and capable, it would be a loss to dismiss him and lose out on the mana invested in summoning him when I had no clue what I might get the next time around. I have ended up with elderly pixies before, after all.
As it turned out, his wife and daughter hadn''t been summoned with him and he was worried for their safety. Since the summoning feature is a bit random and I never know what I''ll get, there wasn''t a guarantee that summoning more of them would resolve the issue. However, I didn''t like the idea of sending him back when there was no guarantee that he''d survive the night or even that his family was still alive. For all I knew, another dungeon master could have also ended up summoning them. I ended up deciding to use the abundant resources at my disposal to speed up my building of the second floor and summon a bunch of new pixies in rapid succession in hopes of summoning his wife and daughter as well.You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.
I had to summon more than half a dozen pixies before I lucked into summoning his wife and daughter. Considering how expensive pixies are to summon, the cost was rather steep, but I still think it was well worth it. Besides, I would have needed to summon more pixies to help with my challenge rooms sooner or later. All I really did was speed up the process and I was able to create a happy ending like this. What more could I ask for?
There is more good news as well. Most of the new pixies I summoned are young enough to help with challenges. Only Clove''s daughter is too young to help, but I''m sure I''ll be able to build a challenge room that her mother can manage by herself. All of the pixies get along quite well, even despite their varied backgrounds. I even have a sibling duo who were originally royalty before coming to the dungeon, but neither of them has a bad personality or acts particularly superior to the others. I hope they will all continue to get along.
Maybe the only worry I have now is that the costs involved in hosting nightly tea parties will be higher now that there are more pixies to feed. They are all small enough that it doesn''t take much for it to feel like a feast for them, but the resources needed to create the sweets can be quite steep as it is. I''m sure there are ways around having to constantly summon things for a tea party, but it will take some time to set up. Perhaps that should be my next goal?
