Donut is a natural charmer so the interview is great despite Carl's complete incompetence. The only good thing related to Carl is that he has a catch phrase. GOD DAMN IT DONUT.
Ch 29
Carl and donut talk to Odette in private abd she gives them sone tips. The best one was stop complaining so much. Complaining is funny. So if you complain about something theyre gonna keep giving you that thing so viewer's can laugh at you.
Ch 30
They go to the second level and fight some monsters and find a saferoom and open the rewards they got for the boss fight.
Ch 31
A lot of people didn't make it. The lady with the shopping cart is assumed to be one of those. All the old folks people are just gonna go straight to the stairs. Carl says he'll clear the way.
Ch 32
Theyre fighting diseased leprechauns.
If they get their loot, they get moonshine jugs that they can turn explosive by attaching a torch. Problem is if you touch them at all, you are infected and you cant heal. Carl is infected and it lasts a while.
Ch 33
They find the headquarters of the diseased leprechauns. Turns out their while deal is they're an MLM (pyramid scheme for those not familiar with the modern vernacular for a very old scam) with the goal of selling moonshine. It has a 5 percent chance of killing you.
There are some fairies, actually flying little ladies that are in charge. Donut charms them. Through some shenhannegans they separate the fairies from the diseased leprechauns and Carl blows them up with a moonshine bomb. Then they kill the fairies. They find a recipe for an immunity smoothie, one part moonshine, one part fairy. The boenders are in the next room.
Ch 34
Problem is the next room is next to the boss fight and this particular boss is a krakenkaren and they're the real top of the pyramid and they have tentacles that can reach into the room with the blenders and are also diseased. So Carl and donut fight diseased leprechauns and avoid the tentacles and blend the immunity smoothie and thank God they do because carl gets hit by a tentacle and is temporarily infected by vigorous measles before the immunity kicks in.
Carl has donut turn one of the diseased leprechauns into a zombie and gives him a hug explosive and some dynamite and tells him to run into the room with the karenkracken.
Ch 35
It works, the karenkracken is a dead. Carl is not, just barely. Why? The powers that be are really dedicated to his barefootedness and gave him a pedicure kit that pretty much make his feet invincible.
They go to the safe room to look at their loot and talk about stuff. Again, the powers that be are invested in keeping Carl pants less and barefoot. Carl gets a pair of boxers that give him a shield spell once a day. Mordekai is about to tell h8m something really important right when an admin shows up.
Ch 36
An admin comes in and explains that they are getting so many interviews that they now need a PR person to handle them and Zeb is that person. Carl has a meltdown. Donut saves the day by talking about gossip girl and bonding with zeb over it.
While zeb is distracted Carl asks mordekai WTF and mordekai explains that the planet in charge of the game has been taken over by basically the nazis but worse and they are in dire economic straights. This is very bad for Carl because they dont get paid until the game is over so theyre trying to end the game asap so they can get that money. The game ends when everyone is dead.
Ch 37 pg 314
They make their way past TONS OF grubs to the old folks Homer's and its cool that theyre all working together and its going well until zeb gets on the chat and tells them to RUN to the next safehouse. One of the old men is pissing on the wall. This is bad becuase there's was previously an announcement that if you pissed anywhere other than a bathroom you would be killed. I think also the rest of your group. So if Carl and donut do not gtfo they'll get caught in the crossfire.
Ch 38
I remembered it wrong. You dont die when you pee, you summon a monster from the bottom level. This one is level 93. It's horrible. Donut casts fog and it allows most of the old folks to get away to the safe room. Mainly because the monster charges right for Carl. His shield spell saves him. Carl is thinking he can make a run for it to the safe room pretty easily now. Except the monster casts a spell that reverses gravity and Carl is flung painfully to the ceiling. Also an old lady. Carl grabs the old lady and barely makes it to the break room.
Ch 39
They watch the recap show. It's all very upsetting. Tons of people being killed. The most surprising part was they showed how much damage Carl did to the level 83 .monster with his bomb. It took away 25 percent of its health.
The plan at the beginning was to wait until Carl had access to his shield spell again and use that to get away from the level 93 monster. Now it sounds like theyre gonna do something more reckless.
Ch 40 pg 338
They create a contraption that the goblin moped can tow. It's a bomb deploying ramp. Donut can pull bombs out of her inventory, onto the top of the contraption and they will slide down the ramp blowing up whatever is behind them. In this case its the monster. The basic plan is to go in a square , blowing up the monster , hopefully killing it before they get back to the safe room. This is more complicated because a bunch of the grubs have evolved to level 3 and theyre much bigger and a pain to avoid whilst driv8ng a goblin moped at top speed. Also, some of the grubs have evolved to the pupa stage. These are basically human sized flesh mounds. Also hard to avoid. They blow up a bunch of these with bombs that also do damage to the monster.
Something really horrific happens in all this some of the pupas hatch to reveal giant hornets. I hate this.
The bike starts to overheat as they see the stairs down to the next level. This brings us to carls super secret plan he hasn't told anyone. He lays down an oil slick and then has donut teleport them around the corner. The result is the monster slides down the stairs and is killed. Carl knew this would happen because Rory the goblin shmanka told him it would. Mobs cant go down the stairs. They dissolve half way down.
The problem with this is they dont get credit for killing the monster. But theyre still alive and Carl likes that.
Ch 41
The old folks Homer's and their old folks go down the stairs. The hope is on floor three the old folks will be able to make big changes amd be useful.
Carl and donut kill things on their way to thenext safe room where they plan to relax for a while before their interview. A new admin contacts them and says zeb is in timeout and theyre subbing in and has moved their interview to a different show that pays more.
Ch 42
They get on this show and its a much less civilized affair. The audience is bloodthirsty preteen boys. The host is an orc. The first guest is a couple random guys from (guessing based on their names) China. They're making them play a game where they have to guess if people in a situation live or die. If they guess right they can teleport out of certain doom. Through a series of events Carl gets to break in and talk some shit. The result is he gives these guys some good advice and when theyre teleported back, they make it back to the saferoom.
Also, the host says there's special guests brought in for their VIP guests. Expecting it to be the girlfriend, but we'll see who it is.
Ch 43
Carl has some more fun with the ass hole host. Turns out one the 9th floor part of the thing is a giant battle between royal families and the host is gonna take part this year. So Carl is gonna kill him when he gets the chance.
Also, the surprise guest isn't the ex, its the crawlers that tried to kill Carl. Fun reveal, the explosion Carl left for them killed their daughter. So now its personal. A d the host gives them a magic item that allows them to find Carl wherever he is.
So Carl has at least 3 "people" that are gonna be trying to kill him. At least he doesnt have to worry about the host until the 9th floor.
Ch 44
They go back to a safe room and they open loot boxes and watch the recap show. Then zeb comes back and tells them there's a sex tape going around where Carl fucks the TV host orc with his HUGE dick. All of this is very political with all these different factions infighting and whatnot.
Ch 45
They go to do the boss fight so if the murderers come after them thy will have the neighborhood map and see them coming. They find a bunch of dingos in cages and Carl gives them treats and they become friendly.
They are attacked by a bunch of kobols. The d8ngos help them fight the kobols. The boss bad guy is an angry hamster and they defeat it in a pretty easy fight.
Ch 46 pg 403
The prize at the end of the fight is a pet. Carl makes the mistake of letting donut pick the pet and she picks this weird chicken looking thing. They talk to mordekai and he tells them that if they dont get the thing to bond with them they won't be able to bring it down to the 3rd floor.
Ch 47 pg 409
Turns out the only thing the weird chicken likes is killing. So they kill stuff together and they bond.
Carl notices weird stuff in his inventory. He realizes this must be agathas stuff because he put her shopp8ng cart and everything in it into his inventory but only gave her back her shopping cart. Just then agatha comes back.
Carl now thinks she's an alien plant.
Epilogue
Odette tells Carl their pet is a velociraptor.
Bonus material
Rory the goblin gains sentience. The guards come to kill the goblins because sentient mobs is bad for the game. While the guards are lining up to murder them rory overheard them saying that Carl and donut. Now Rory is out for vengeance.
So Carl had 4 people trying to kill him.
