The Iron Tangle
Location from dungeon-crawler-carl-anarchists-cookbook by Matt Dinniman
A labyrinthine network of thousands of interconnected subway tunnels and trains — crawlers must ride the rails, fight through cars, and find hidden stairwells to survive.
Also known as: Fourth Floor, The Iron Tangle, Floor Four, The Train Floor, Level Four
What They Know
- Stairwells are located at stations twelve, twenty-four, thirty-six, forty-eight, and seventy-two on colored lines.
- Crawlers cannot descend early — stairwells open only six hours before floor collapse.
- Safe rooms appear at prime-numbered transfer stations; Desperado Club at stations ending in one.
- Mobs are drugged and gated by control sigils — they board at intervals and must exit or die.
- The Nightmare Express is a steam locomotive running a ninety-minute figure-eight loop with thirty-eight cars to fight through.
- Station four-thirty-three is actually a Station Mimic that eats unsuspecting crawlers.
- Train employees reset each loop — they remember arriving at station four-thirty-five, then blink back to the trainyard.
- Personal spaces can be purchased and combined on this floor; the Anarchist's Cookbook is found here.
