Floor 6 · The Hunting Grounds

The Hunting Grounds: a jungle-choked ruin of a city that mirrors the Third Floor. Paying off-world hunters are released after a 30-hour grace period to kill crawlers for their gear, and a failed world quest covers the map in lethal thorn walls. The floor ends with a ball in the High Elf castle, a four-way boss battle and the castle's transfer to the Ninth Floor.

1. When the Third Floor collapses, the elites with scripted storylines, Tsarina Signet among them, descend to the Sixth Floor. source

1. The Hunting Grounds open: the first floor where paying tourists may hunt crawlers. source
2. Before any crawler arrives, Carl and his allies use the Gate of the Feral Gods to wipe out most of the merchants that supply the Ninth Floor factions, and Carl dares the hunters to come for his Ring of Divine Suffering. source

1. Crawlers arrive and make subclass choices in a staging arena; the hunters, boosted to level 50 this season, are held in Zockau for a 30-hour grace period. source
2. Donut kills the mayor of a Large Ursine Settlement and takes it over, renaming it Point Mongo. source
3. Miriam Dom lets the rising sun kill her, which triggers the Creeping Apocalypse quest. source
4. The Creeping Apocalypse fails; the floor switches to blood bar rules and Gehenna Bramble starts spreading thorn walls across the map. source
5. The Butcher's Masquerade begins in the High Elf castle, hosted by Queen Imogen, with the top 50 crawlers and the surviving hunters kept from harming one another. source
6. Tsarina Signet takes her own life beside her half-sister Imogen, which breaks the masquerade's protections, and the Sledge casts the Zerzura spell. source
7. The castle, its NPCs and the changelings are sent to the Ninth Floor, leaving a four-way boss battle that ends with Imogen dead and every remaining hunter killed. source
