After Carl's exploits at the end of the last floor, the Gate of the Feral Gods is taken from him, but due to help from his new lawyer, he is given collateral and a promise that he will get it back on the ninth floor. Once again, Carl leaves a meeting with a liaison alive.Now he just has to survive the hundreds of hunters gunning for him.The sixth floor is the Hunting Grounds, a vast jungle where tourists from outside the dungeon are allowed to come in and hunt the crawlers for loot. Carl attacks them in their own city early and spends the entire floor whittling them down to size. He even ends up in a personal vendetta with Vrah, the lead hunter, after he kills her sister.At the end of the floor, hunters and crawlers will be drawn together in a single party, where they will keep the peace under threat of divine retribution.That party is called the Butcher's Masquerade.Dungeon Crawler Carl: The Butcher's Masquerade is the fifth book in the Dungeon Crawler Carl series by Matt Dinniman. It covers the sixth floor of the Dungeon. The sequel is The Eye Of The Bedlam Bride. | |

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other | |
| The Butcher's Masquerade / int_10dcbe05 | comment |
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Bea was a bitch, spoiled rotten, but honestly totally under her mother's thumb. She loved Donut with all her heart and hated the competitions, as evidenced by Donut's song, the song Bea used to get drunk and sing to her, the first song Donut sings on key. | |

Counterspell | |
| The Butcher's Masquerade / int_118f2b11 | comment |
Miriam is caught in a trap. During a fight with a reverse vampire and vampire hunter named Viscount Fog, there was a sort of counterspell cascade that left Pony and the vampire hunter both paralyzed and with only one hit point. Fog died at nightfall, and Miriam was stuck because Pony had been holding her when he was paralyzed and she couldn't extricate herself without risking him dying. Worse, the debuff cascade had caused Pony's Ring of Divine Suffering to fire, giving Miriam (the only Crawler or Hunter in range) the Mark, so he'd never be able to heal until she was dead. On top of that, she's now the source of the vampire infection running rampant through the Hunting Grounds and her death is the only way to stop it by disinfecting all of the infected animals and players (the plan had to transfer the curse to Fog and then kill him, solving the problem). With no other option, Miriam asks Carl to kill her in order to save Pony. | |

Stealth Pun: Big Tina's backstory is that she was once an Ursine girl who was cursed for learning to dance. A "dancing bear" is an expression referring to something that's amazing, but not for being good. "It's not amazing how well the bear dances, but that it dances at all." | |

Crapsack World: There are hints as to just how shitty the universe outside the dungeon really is. Multiple people note that if you're not a citizen, you're not guaranteed land or air. Half of the Hunters who make it to the final fight are noted to be homeless or refugees. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| The Butcher's Masquerade / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Signet explains that a Nodling will split into multiple new individuals when it dies, with the number of new people equal to the number of heads on the original Nodling. Importantly, the new individuals emerge as toddlers, though they grow quickly to adulthood. The Popov brothers get killed as a twin-headed Nodling, turn into toddlers, then get teleported out of the dungeon because children aren't allowed in dungeons. Their guide talked them into the race in order to save their lives. | |

Mad Bomber: Carl, natch. Mordecai told him to take the melee upgrade to his class. Instead, he took Agent Provocateur, a bomb class that gives a boost to intelligence. He's not interested in punching or kicking people to death. He wants to break them all. Also it gives him a boost to his intelligence. But mostly the breaking thing. | |

Properly Paranoid: The Hunters are reasonably concerned about Carl, and can you blame them? Vrah finds a way to summon Emberus so that she can get the town guards to worship him and thus prevent Carl from staging another attack on Zockau. A number of Hunters do likewise. | |

Morton's Fork | |
| The Butcher's Masquerade / int_407d3e6d | comment |
Morton's Fork: Without really intending to do so, Carl forced the male Mantis, Edict, into a nightmare scenario. Carl knew that Vahl, as a future brood queen, would opt to pass the Enthusiastic Double Gonorrhea on to Edict rather than remove her genitalia, so offered the man a choice: we'll protect you in exchange for all your gear (he was the Hive's merchant). Unfortunately, the gear was already contracted out and giving it to Carl would destroy Edict's family, so he passed it along to a contact immediately, leaving him nothing to bargain with. The alternative, mating with Vahl, would also destroy his family, because Mantis matings are carefully contracted and it would be seen as a disgusting betrayal for him to mate with Vahl. On the other hand, refusing to mate with Vahl would be seen as an insult and her family would take revenge on his. So he takes a fourth option. | |

Bittersweet Ending: A lot of innocent people died, a bunch of assholes, too, and the survivors made it to the seventh floor. Then Pony destroyed the seventh floor with two innocuous magic items, sending all of the survivors to the eighth floor. And Eva's last act was to stick the Crown of the Sepsis Whore on Katia's head. | |

Serial-Killer Killer: Katia leaves Carl and Donut to go join the Daughters and hunt down Eva. Likewise, before they got dragged into the convention, the Popov brothers were hunting a group of Polish mercs who had turned into player killers (even killing their former leader when he objected to them turning into player killers). | |

Not Completely Useless: Benefactors gift Katia and Donut with a magic hammer and a magic stick to go along with Pony's magic solvent. They don't have any use, they don't have any stats or bonuses. It's just a regular hammer, a long metal stick, and a tube of solvent, all marked magic. At the end of the book, Pony puts the clues together and uses all three to completely destroy the seventh floor before it even begins, sending everyone to the eighth. | |

| The Butcher's Masquerade / int_5937a87c | comment |
No Honor Among Thieves: At best, the Hunters only work in small groups, because they were all sent in to work as part of the Faction War on the Ninth Floor, where most of them will be pitted against each other. They come into the conflict with no concept of cooperation and, thanks to the general chaos of this particular crawl, die alone, running from fights that they could have turned into contests. | |

With no other option, Miriam asks Carl to kill her in order to save Pony. During the climactic battle at the titular Butcher's Masquerade, Carl knows someone needs to break the seal, which will send that person to The Nothing, the place of mumbled screams. He prepares to do so. Signet does it instead, as she's come to understand that her life has been a lie, but it wasn't a lie to her, so she's determined to flip the script. | |

Elite Army | |
| The Butcher's Masquerade / int_68333a8b | comment |
Elite Army: The Crawlers who have made it to the sixth floor are a Found Family of Fire-Forged Friends, united in purpose and unwilling to betray one another (barring a few outliers like Eva and Quan Ch). As a result, they tear all the Hunters apart and all of the Hunters are dead before the floor collapses, and they beat a Country Boss. This is inverted with the Hunters. Even though many of them have experience across multiple crawls, the fact is that they don't work together and most of them are just accountants there to help their faction make some cash, mostly for the games on the ninth floor. Even when their families on the outside start sending them overpowered gear, they still get torn apart by the Crawlers. | |

Shell-Shocked Veteran: Carl is starting to be troubled by all the experiences he has had, and it manifests as flashbacks to specific events and a roaring sound like a creek or river when it's not specific (it's the sound of the water moving through the pipe his mother hung herself on after she failed to kill his father. On Carl's birthday. As a present to him.). | |

Logical Weakness: Anyone can throw any equipment at Katia and she'll automatically equip it. Eva uses this to give her the Crown of the Sepsis Whore, forcing her into a death-match with Donut once they reach the ninth floor. | |

Took a Level in Jerkass | |
| The Butcher's Masquerade / int_8cb1a369 | comment |
Took a Level in Jerkass: In contrast to the thinking NPCs, who Carl pities, he's far more willing to torture and casually kill the Hunters, because they chose to be here, whereas the NPCs are slaves like himself. This is despite the fact that he recognizes that many of them are low level employees of great powers who don't themselves necessarily have that much choice in the matter, since they live in Crapsack Universe. | |

Flawed Prototype | |
| The Butcher's Masquerade / int_8cda3dc2 | comment |
Flawed Prototype: The seventh floor was created in a hurry after the Valtay took over the crawl. As a result, though Cascadia did an excellent job on it... it's got a real flaw based on its history that Prepotente, with help from his sponsors and the AI, can exploit to destroy it minutes after entering. | |

Always Identical Twins | |
| The Butcher's Masquerade / int_8f00b02a | comment |
Always Identical Twins: Ifechi, Florin's dead girlfriend, had an identical twin sister. The showrunners use her as the final boss of the floor, making the crawlers briefly think that they resurrected a dead crawler. This is averted with the Popov brothers, who were fraternal twins before becoming a nodling. | |

Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Off-screen, and not really understanding the implications of what she was doing, Donut helped smuggle Valtay worms to Zev and the Borant Liberation Front, leading to a revolution that overthrew the Bloom party and helped Valtay stage a hostile takeover of the Borant Corporation. Now the Valtay are retooling the show by killing off most of the popular characters, including Carl and Donut. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| The Butcher's Masquerade / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: One of the items Chaco is selling at the Masquerade is Pole Position (Seventh Floor), some sort of item to help on the seventh floor. It's sold out. Too bad for the crawler who shelled out thirty hands for that one. Oh, wait, it was Prepotente... The Popov brothers complain that their game guide tricked them into picking the nodling race, which combined them into a single body. He told them it would give them an "extra life." Later, Signet explains how nodlings work to Carl: Once the nodling dies, it splits into smaller ogres that quickly grow into adulthood. When the Popov brothers die in the final battle, they are reborn as ogre children... and promptly teleported out for being ineligible. They escaped. They're safe. | |

Nice to the Waiter: Carl decides to throw the drawing contest to a guard's granddaughter, because 1) he doesn't give a shit about the cruel galaxy and their appreciation of the monstrous games and 2) hey, maybe it'll help. Given that his second appearance sees him drugged by the mercs who guide him to the stage so he'll go way off book, he's not wrong. The guards inform him that drugging him was business, but this next bit is personal. The guards set it up so he could steal a very valuable crafting table during the last few minutes before he got sent back to the dungeon. That probably cost the girl's grandfather a few credits. | |

Rule of Drama: The final boss of Signet's quest is Imogen, her half-sister, the high elf queen and the final boss of the floor. Carl immediately realizes there's no way that the dungeon showrunners are going to let some no-name side program get the kill on the final boss, so he works to keep Signet from springing her ambush early. The System AI drags her in anyway so it can watch the fireworks. | |

Loophole Abuse | |
| The Butcher's Masquerade / int_b1dde8fd | comment |
Loophole Abuse: Turns out that there's no rule saying that crawlers can't own a spot in faction wars. After multiple parties drop out, Carl uses an out-of-dungeon fangroup to buy a spot so that the crawlers will be able to participate as equals. It's mentioned over and over that crawlers cannot skip floors. The only way to exit a floor is through a stairwell; even if a portal to another floor is opened, crawlers can't leave through it. But there's no rule that they have to stay on a floor for long. Pony exploits flaws in the design of the seventh floor to destroy the entire floor and send everyone flying through the stairwells within minutes of arrival. During Carl's panel, Drick and Uptown Hal realize it's likely that, even though they can't see him, Carl can probably see them and hear everything they're saying, so take advantage of that to slip him as much information as they can about his upcoming fight. Turns out the System AI even got in on the act. By awarding Carl a single share of stock in the corporations owned by the people who sued to keep him from getting the Gate, it also made him enough of a citizen that he could demand a lawyer and get help to fight back outside the Dungeon. | |

Irony: At one point, Cascadia, the Kua-Tin in charge of the crawl (for a given level of "in charge") notes that the death rate among the Hunters is, instead of the typical 2%, a surprising 25%... She promises they're going to get a helping hand. None of them will survive. Cascadia designed the Great Race on the seventh floor as a mockery of various Earth myths and a folk-tale from the wider universe outside the dungeon. Instead it becomes a race between her and Pony to see whether she can finish her description of the level before he can finish destroying it and sending everyone to the eighth floor without having to face her grand design. | |

Refuge in Audacity: What's the first thing Carl does? Teleport into the town the Hunters aren't allowed to leave and cause slaughter and mayhem while they're all drunk off their asses. He kills hundreds of NPCs, ruins the front of the Desperado Club, trapping any Hunters who were partying in there, and gets thirty four Hunter kills. And then he survives. Part of the success of his gambit is due to Miriam and Prepotente being there, too, trying much the same thing. Prepotente was casting debuffs with Miriam supporting him, but the only one that worked was the one that got the Hunters all monstrously more drunk than they intended. Carl ends up killing a little over 3% of the Hunters. Donut gets a kill, too. | |

Running Gag: Carl gets yet another tattoo, this one a prison ink spiderweb on his left elbow as a result of using the Night Wyrm's Ring of Divine Suffering to mark and kill a hunter. | |

Pet the Dog: Britney, the plastic surgery patient from the previous book, is quiet and pissy. However, she spends most of her screen time here being kind to Mongo, who adores her. | |

Shown Their Work: A Prince Rupert's Drop is what happens when you drop molten glass in water. It creates a teardrop-shaped bead of glass with a really long tail. You can smack the bead with a hammer and it won't break, but the smallest nick in the tail will cause the whole thing to shatter into glass dust. That's how Prepotente destroys the seventh floor. He took the Pole Position boost so he could be certain he'd be in the proper position to do so with the useless magic items the sponsors gave Donut. | |
