up to 120, and spread evenly around his dungeon. The pitfalls held six, the skyfalls held three, and the rest of them were moving or hiding as puddles. All in all, a good basic dungeon set-up in his opinion.
The two were startled by a vibration in the earth. "What's that?" Doc asked excitedly. Claire flew up into her personal path to the peephole at the entrance.
"It's people!" She cried out happily, "I see a lot of adventurers and wagons. That means they are going to set up a base camp, and send people in to fight us."
The two of them happily watched as horse-pulled wagons and men came towards them carrying materials and equipment. They stopped before the first line of refuse from the explosion and began to set up things.
"Claire, what are they building?" He asked as they watched the men work.
"They are making houses, tents, and a shop," she informed him, "The houses and tents are to sleep in, and the shop is for selling the loot they get from us. Oh! I think I see some blacksmith equipment too; which means they expect some mining and tool repairs will be needed."
"Should I set up the mining areas now?" Doc asked.
Claire thought a moment, "Why don’t you create a copper vein in the first room. You should replenish the copper when adventurers leave, and I advise you don't focus on that room when they are mining; it'll be very annoying otherwise."
Doc split his attention between growing the copper into veins and watching the men outside. He was fascinated by the humans; they were so interesting. They didn't have magic to make their homes, but they could use their arms and legs to make anything they needed. They were fast too; Doc could see a lot of small tents set up already.
"Do you think the elves will come too?"
"If they do come, it'll be later, after the humans are done. Oh, get ready for the scouts!" Claire shrieked excitedly. A small party was approaching the entrance; five men in full metal armor and wielding some very shiny swords. Doc could see the glow around the swords that indicated magic.
“Those must be strong adventurers,” Doc thought to himself, “I wonder if they want to take my crystal.” Doc kind of doubted it though, because of all the work the humans were doing to make places to sleep. “No matter, I want to see what they can do.”
The two occupants watched the men enter the dungeon without hesitation; strolling right in with their weapons drawn. Inside, water drops plopped down from the ceiling, forming puddles on the floor. It was a cool effect Doc had designed to hide the slime puddles. The men did not even pause at the sight, and began swinging their swords at every puddle in their path. Doc winced as his slime army disappeared rapidly. "Claire, I think those men have dealt with slimes before."
Claire was following the men from her path and watching them with Doc. "Those look like ranked B adventurers; very strong adventurers who are good at scouting out dungeon; it seems as if they have reached the first room."
The men entered the room after first observing the ceiling and walls. They moved slowly across the floor, testing each step for pitfalls. One of the men paused beside a wall and took out a small tool. He chipped at the wall and inspected it closely. He called over the others, and they grouped together and whispered to each other.
"They aren't whispering Doc; you just can't hear them because you're avoiding the room," Claire retorted, "Anyway, they’re excited to find the copper vein."
The men exited the room, but not before the first man drew out a stick and pointed it down the hall. Instantly, a blue light shot down and illuminated all the pitfall traps in a blue light. Doc felt a little cheated as he watched the men easily avoid his traps. They even avoided the second room ambush by throwing stones into the room. The slimes fell harmlessly to the floor and were easily slain. They repeated the trick on the next corridor and entered the third room.
