Someone in OOC brought up the idea of making camp in the middle of dungeons, both for RP, and mechanically to heal/set up food.
From an RP perspective, this would help make black door RP a little better. As it is, it's awkward to RP in the middle of clearing a dungeon - You're either holding a conversation while casually killing things en masse, or you're dramatically slowing the progress down by RPing out your attacks when they're going to be mechanically identical over and over. A break in the middle of a dungeon with a campfire set up would give people a proper and logical setting for mid-dungeon RP, while also possibly enticing people passing through to join in.
Mechanically, it would allow a form of more sustained healing mid-dungeon. This isn't as bad as it sounds, because most people just leave for ten seconds to awkwardly inn up anyway, or rarely wait the up to 7.5 minutes for their food to proc, but having to run down up to nine floors while also risking your BDP despawning isn't great.
My own personal suggestion on implementation would be to make campfires usable on a floor that has 0 monsters remaining, other than statics, and probably with some kind of check to make sure nobody's still in a battle on that floor.
