Things You Can Buy For A Buck: Entry Into The Dungeon
Right, folks, that will be a dollar each to enter the Dungeon of the Mad Bard. No, Sir Wizard, you memory plays no tricks, the admission fee is quite recent. Had to do it, you know. Residents voted to join a union and that was that.
Yes, there will be some other areas that require an entrance fee. Level 3 will be a buck fifty, but you do get 3 hours of undisturbed sleep as part of it. Not a bad deal. Lower levels do charge more, but the amenities are better. I hear the free breakfast on level 6 is very good.
