[956] The Daily Dungeon
As you can see, 956 - 949 = 7, so this took 7 adventures (duh). But, unlike other things which take multiple adventures, we don't log the action adventure by adventure. If something happens in the middle of the sequence (like your Pasta Thrall gaining a level), when did it happen? You can count rounds…
Here's a much more elaborate example: The Gourd! This actually works like this:
Choice adventure

[427323] The Castle in the Clouds in the Sky (Top Floor)
As you can see, 427323 - 427303 = 20, so this took 20 adventures. Interesting. 19 combats - and the final choice? I don't know! And obviously, if something happened in the middle and I wanted to count adventures to figure out when it happened, I throw up my hands.
In this cases, when you click the link to "fight the next conspirator" or to "check in with the Gourd", I'd like it if it logged the encounter complete with adventure number. For example:
[427303] The Gourd!

and so on.
