    I lived on the ground floor of an apartment building that was lousy with millipedes. As pests go, millipedes are easy mode. They’re slow, they’re terrible climbers, and they crumble instead of squish. There’s a smell, but it’s not even that bad.

    Occasionally there’d be a cockroach.

    Then I moved to the second floor, and there were almost no millipedes, but more cockroaches. Also flying cockroaches.

    It was like a video game. You’ve got your easy level 1 bugs with the occasional level 2 bug mixed in, then once you get to actual level 2, some of the level 2 bugs can fly.

    Still not as bad as the third floor. The third floor was bats.

        OP never made it up there as there was no real metaprogression beyond knowledge checks.

        It was Houston, so if we’re sticking with native fauna, it was either an alligator or some kind of venomous snake.

        Personally I always pictured a manticore, but I never did get up there to see.

    Millipedes are awesome! Centipedes less so. This is empirical proof that more feet = more awesome.
