Floor 8 · The Ghosts of Earth

The Ghosts of Earth: 293 isolated regions, each a copy of a real place in the days before the collapse, filled with intangible human ghosts and monsters drawn from local folklore. Squads of five capture monsters as card totems, then hunt and fight over stairwell keys. A demon prince's portal tears the world apart at the end; 33,804 of the 38,532 crawlers who entered survive.

1. Prepotente shatters the Seventh Floor moments after it opens and every crawler is pulled down to the Eighth. source

1. Crawlers are scattered across the 293 regions in squads of up to five; Carl and Donut start in Havana's Capitol building. source
2. In a temple in a Havana graveyard Carl finds a Celestial Thorn Room and, at Katia's urging, repairs the shrine of Yemaya. source
3. Phase Two begins on the floor's December 24th: squad leaders pick a destination and fight alone to win a stairwell key. source
4. The destination selection malfunctions; Donut's squad, assigned Iowa, lands in Monroe County, Florida, and Katia's squad is sent to Tran's hometown of Da Nang. source
5. During Phase Three the Demon Eviction event triggers early and demons from Sheol begin possessing weakened and fallen crawlers. source
6. Carl and Prepotente work out an exploit from the Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook, and Carl broadcasts an appeal for crawlers to stop fighting and dig under the stairwell chambers. source
7. Ysalte captures the Demon Prince Amayon and is killed by her own summoned totem, Paz Lo, with Amayon freed to start casting his portal. source
8. Amayon's portal opens and tears every object into the sky; Carl, Donut and Imani reach the exposed Capitol stairwell from the tunnels below as the floor collapses. source
