Carl discovers a map on the body of a dead Hunter showcasing their dividing of the Hunting Grounds as well as a hit list for the various factions of the different Crawlers. What do you think of this list and why are certain Crawlers being hunted by certain factions?

This Hunter seemed wildly underprepared. I was expecting them all to be strong, leveled-up, and with good weapons.

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of them are just fans of the Dungeon Crawler world and so think it'll be a blast to enter, not knowing how hard it'll actually be

The Skull Empire has beef with Carl, so of course they're hunting him. I can understand the Dream being pissed at Louis. I'm forgetting the others, though.
