Detailed Plot Summary
Chapter 47 covers the remaining time before the Second Floor collapse. Donut's attempts to bond Mongo become a major source of audience attention, especially because Mongo repeatedly bites her while the fallout from the Maestro incident continues to spread. Carl and Donut visit Mordecai, who explains that Mongo cannot bond while his aggro remains active. They open the Ralph fight rewards, with Donut receiving a Heal Critter spellbook and Carl receiving another Potion of Determine Value plus gold. Carl also receives the PETA Enthusiast achievement for removing hostility from the Danger Dingoes. Mordecai explains the upcoming Third Floor process. Carl and Donut will return to his room, choose race, choose class, distribute stat points, and then learn about class guilds. He also explains Earth-specific classes, system recommendations, and Donut's Enhanced Growth limitation. Mordecai reveals more of his own build history, including that he chose changeling as a race and Arcanist as a class, later specializing toward fire magic. Carl also learns that Mordecai's brother was also a crawler and that Odette influenced the brother's class choice. Mongo teleports away after a scare, but Donut's concern begins to shift his behavior. Carl realizes Mongo is a pack hunter, and Donut teaches him to kill Brindle Grubs by example. Mongo's dot turns white after hunting with Donut and later turns orange when Donut saves him from a Brindled Vespa. Mongo officially joins the party as Donut's pet and gains the title Royal Steed. While waiting near the stairwell, Carl checks the inventory history unlocked by Determine Value and discovers that Agatha's shopping cart had contained Valtay technology: an inter-tunnel communications device, a personal shield, and a pulse pistol. The items are no longer in his inventory, but their history suggests Agatha is far stranger than she appears. Agatha arrives, pushes her cart toward the stairs, and warns Carl not to involve himself in whatever is happening with her. During the encounter, Zev reports a brief feed outage. Carl, Donut, and Mongo wait until the timer reaches six hours, then descend toward the Third Floor.
