He turned to her, and slowly shook his head. "I am aiming for floor 501. You left after 100. The Cave starts toying with you around 200, starting actively engaging you about 300, actively attempting to kill you at 400, and at 500 it stops resembling anything approaching a legitimate engagement, and goes straight for the kill. I got to 500 before I had to stab my opponent through myself, and gave all of you shit fits.<br/><br/>I can get to about 400 before I start having significant challenges, and 475 is where I start having to actually plan and use strategy to start winning, rather than playing around as I had been. It makes it a bit easier later if you don't immediately kill everything, but don't also show off too much in either abilities, or just plain showing off.<br/><br/>I suspect you will start having to work to win about 100 or 150. Yes, we are going in together, but that doesn't make things easier. If anything, I think it will be harder. But that is good, means we have a chance to excel that much more."<br/><br/>He nodded, having all of the Cave equipment on him at all times, as it had outfitted him better than anyone else likely suspected. That done, he headed for the portal room, activating the subroutines that allowed him to 'hide' destinations, and picked the Cave. No one else other than him seemed to think it was a legitimate challenge and go, which, in his mind, was partially why he was having to do things on his own around the domain, mostly.
