Stairwells

Location from Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman

The only passages between dungeon floors — well-lit descents ending in massive double doors engraved with the Kua-Tin symbol, each a chokepoint of survival.

Also known as: Stairwell, Stairwells, The Stairs, Floor Exit, Descent

What They Know

• Stairwell counts decrease dramatically per floor: seventy-five thousand on floor one down to one on floor eighteen.
• Descending with low health triggers automatic healing to full.
• Non-sapient mobs are disintegrated if they attempt to descend, though this rule was patched after Carl exploited it.
• Stairwells can be physically moved if embedded in movable objects but never into safe rooms or between floors.
• Access rules vary by floor — some allow early descent with stasis, others lock until hours before collapse.
