Invasion summary: Defeat

All creatures and traps in the dungeon have been bested.
Amount of enemies beaten: 0
Amount of dungeon points (DP) gained: 0
Amount of monster points (MP) gained: 0

-------------------------------

“Seems like I can gain ‘Dungeon Points' by beating enemies and also something called ‘Monster Points’,” it said to itself.
”Instinct, what are you 'Monster Points’?” the Dungeon asked.

-------------------------------

[Investigating term 'Monster Points'.]

Term: Monster Points
Context: Dungeons

Description:
”Monster Points” (Abbreviation: MP) are a resource that dungeons can utilize to upgrade or otherwise enhance monsters on a floor.
These points can be used to alter a “monster spawn“ or alter individual creatures.
An example of this would be upgrading a ordinary, green slime pool to a blue slime pool which produce slimes that carry a hint of the
ice element or upgrading an ordinary slime to a command-type general slime

-------------------------------

“That’s what I need,” the Dungeon cried, “I need gobo over there to complete some ironman challenges and bulk up!”
With ‘Monster Points’, there was hope. “How do I gain MP?” the dungeon asked eagerly.

-------------------------------

‘Monster Points' (MP) are gained when dungeon creatures defeat enemies.
'Dungeon Points' (DP) are gained at set intervals and when routing an invasive force.

-------------------------------

“Fuck! I can’t even beat a rat!” shouted the Dungeon, but then received a mental tap on the shoulder to check the message again.
The Dungeon peered over the message with squinted eyes, which then went wide, “I get dungeon points for free? How many? When?”

-------------------------------

'Dungeon Points' (DP) are gained once per day.
The amount of 'Dungeon Points' (DP) gained is equal to the amount of floors within the dungeon.

-------------------------------

“So, 1 DP a day for the time being… 3 days for a room…” the Dungeon thought to itself.
That wasn’t so bad. All the dungeon had to do was not die in that time.
The Dungeon glanced at their sole defender, which was currently eating sand.
Thus, the Dungeon waited as fate rolled for random encounters.


Rolling a d20. 5 or lower entails an enemy encounter.
If an encounter is rolled, I’ll then roll on an encounter table.

And so the Dungeon waited. The first day was the most difficult.
After all, the previous furry conqueror might still be near.
Ready to, once again, bully the goblin into an early grave.
Fortunately, it seemed like luck was with the Dungeon. For no enemies arrived on the first day.

One might think that simply doing nothing would bore the dungeon.
It might even have fallen asleep during this time, perhaps take a little nap.
But fear not, dear reader. For the Dungeon cannot rest.
Its non-existent eyes are perpetually forced open.
It also had a healthy dose of existential dread and anxiety to power it through the uneventful hours of the night.
As dawn arrived on the first day, a little chime drew the attention of the dungeon.

[You’ve gained one (1) ‘Dungeon Point']
[Total amount of 'Dungeon Points': 1]

There it was: confirmation.

The Dungeon breathed a sigh of relief. The next two days came a bit easier.
Not because the Dungeon had suddenly grown hopeful.
Quite the inverse, it has resigned itself to its fate.
Should a rat come (or worse: two rats) then it was simply the dungeon’s time.

There was, however, a moment during the second day that put the Dungeon on edge.

Something stirred near the entrance of the Dungeon. Not quite a goblin, though of similar size.
More akin to rats perhaps, but without fur and their bucktoothed teeth a little less imposing.

”What do you think it is, Manson?” asked the first unfurred rat-goblin.
”I’m not sure,” replied the second one, “but I think it might be a monster lair – maybe even a dungeon. There’s a tent.”
The first, shorter unfurred rat-goblin pulled on the sleeve of the taller one, “I told you going down here was a bad idea.“
The one known as Manson yanked his sleeve free, “There’s nothing we can sell from the orphanage anymore.”
”There might be something expensive inside here,” said Manson as he took an experimental step towards the dungeon.

It was at this point that the goblin who had been lazing in the dirt spun around and turned its beady, red eyes on the trespassers.
Which immediately fled screaming.

And so, three days passed.

[You’ve gained one (1) ‘Dungeon Point']

The familiar blue spark appeared, it hastily outlined chunks of solid rock surrounding the dungeon.
Large, transparent numbers began to hover in each of these chunks.

[Pre-existing monster type detected. Monster rooms removed from selection.]
[Awaiting plot and room selection]

[Marshland] - Type: Trap
This chamber is filled with unsteady ground that will eagerly suck at your feet, but in a non-fetish kind of way.
Adventurers will find themselves rooted in place and, as they struggle, drawn into its murky depths

DC: 5 Strength saving throw for every entity that enters the room

[Pit room] - Type: Trap
This chamber is dotted with pit traps, causing a 10 foot drop.
No spikes at the bottom of these, however. Those cost extra.

Wow, this actually isn't dead. Fantastic.

The Goblin already causes a Strength check, so we should probably diversify the rolls any invaders must make so we have a higher chance of actually killing them.

>[Jungle room] - Type: Trap
>This chamber is filled with an extremely out of place, exotic jungle filled with poisonous plants and bugs. DC: 5 Constitution saving throw for every entity that enters the room

Can we move the Goblin camp to Square 3 and place the Jungle Tile in it's place? I'd prefer the trap room first to weaken any invaders before they have to contend with our Gobbos. If we can't move tiles around, just place the Jungle tile in Square 3.

Maybe we can train our Gobbos to become the Vietcong and use the Jungle to ambush any invaders in the future.

The Dungeon felt uneasy with the fact that its [Core room] was about a running jump away from the entrance.
Hell, the dungeon would be outwitted, outsmarted, and outplayed if some guy decided to bring a pole to vault over the goblin.
Honestly, the Dungeon was tiny. Its rooms were barely 15 by 15 ft. With the ceiling also being a mere 15 ft. off the ground.

The Dungeon’s eyeless gaze dropped on the [Jungle room].
Not only would placing it near the entrance provide some much needed personal space for the [Core room], but, if the jungle was dense enough, might even deter enemies.
A green curtain filled with poisonous plants, critters, and uncertainty.

“[Jungle room] it is!“ the Dungeon announced to the little blue spark, which then bobbed up and down in understanding.
There was a sudden and aggressive attempt at causing whiplash.
The Dungeon felt itself being yanked backwards, the two existing chambers distanced themselves from the entrance as a terrible grinding noise echoed down the cavern.

The little blue spark hastily got to work. It quickly constructed a chamber in the now vacant spot that had earlier housed the goblin encampment.
The chamber floor shifted from a bare, rocky grey to a lush, radiant green. Dozens of colourful bugs appeared from between the grass and foliage that sprouted.
Some plants stayed small and vibrant, while others swelled in size until they took up a considerable portion of the chamber.

Its job done, the blue spark faded with a puff of glitter.

['Jungle room' has been constructed]

“It’s not as dense as I hoped it might be,” the Dungeon noted, “Instinct, is there anything we can do about that?”

------

[Investigating 'Dungeon room specifications'.]

Query: Density
Context: Dungeons

Response:
The size or density of a room can altered by placing rooms of the same type in the adjoining plots. The room will then expand to fill the adjoining square.
The amount of creatures that can dwell within the room increases in proportion to its size. A room of basic size can hold up to 3 creatures.
Rather than forcing multiple “Saving throws“, a larger room has a higher “Difficulty check (DC)“.
Furthermore, a room or creatures within have a chance to evolve when the room has grown large enough and if it meets the other hidden criteria.

Example:
A [Volcanic room] with a [Slime] in it might cause the [Slime] to evolve into a [Lava slime] if it grows in size.
A [Pond room] might evolve into a [Lake room] if it grows large enough.

------

For a moment, the Dungeon was excited at the idea of growing rooms and moving creatures around.
This excitement lasted up until it realized it had no [Dungeon Points] or [Monster Points] remaining.
The Dungeon tried to sigh, but instead yelped when it heard out-of-breath voices near the entrance.

”What was that noise?” shouted the one known as Manson as he tried to catch his breath.

”…You weren’t lying,” said a voice, disbelief clear on her face once she stepped into view.

Manson’s brow furrowed, “Hold on, Grez. There wasn’t a jungle here before…. Just some monster.”

The woman with pale-green skin thought for a moment, then a large smile crept onto her face, “This isn’t just some monster spawn…”

”What do you mean?” replied the shaggy-haired youth, crossing his arms.

”Only dungeons can grow, Manson! This is a dungeon! Endless wealth!” she cried, flaying her arms wildly.

Manson’s face went through a myriad of expressions, indicating his internal struggle, ”But, Grez, aren’t they dangerous? What if that monster is still here?”

Grez shook her head knowingly, “Only older dungeons are dangerous, stupid. You said this dungeon wasn’t here last week, right? That means it’s basically a baby!”

”Oh,” replied Manson, “So, what now? Tell some adults?”

Grez rolled her eyes, “Really? Anyone from the [Trade District] will cut your throat the moment you show them the entrance to the dungeon,” she said.

”Mercenaries then?” tried Manson, shifting uncomfortably.

”Dungeons are worth more than all the money we’ll ever have!” she snapped, then pinched the bridge of her nose, “Just leave the thinking to me, alright?”

Manson’s nodded solemnly.

After a few moments, the green-skinned woman by the name of Grez seemed to have come to a decision, determination etched into her face.
“We’re going in,” she said.

”What!” cried Manson, “No! It’s suicide! We don’t even have any weapons!”

”Do you want to keep begging for scraps the rest of your life!?” snarled Grez, “The orphanage will never come back and we’ve sold everything that wasn’t bolted down. We’re probably not the only ones that heard that grinding noise. Others might come soon. There’s no time to get weapons. Besides, we can’t even afford weapons!”

The woman placed a hand on Manson’s shoulder in a reassuring kind of way, “Listen, this is our only chance. We need to go in and start breaking the dungeon. It’s a slow process, it’ll take a while. But once we do, the dungeon will be loyal to us. Tons of money will follow. We can help everyone from the orphanage! Don’t you want that?”

Manson gave her an uncertain nod, “I guess…”

Graz smiled, ”Good. Let’s go!”

>>5118295

The Dungeon had been listening in to the conversation happening on its doorstep,
“LETS NOT,” it shouted to itself, “I NEED MORE ROOMS. MORE TRAPS. MORE MONSTERS. ONE WAS ALREADY A PROBLEM AND NOW THERE’S TWO OF THEM!”

In the middle of its breakdown, the Dungeon spotted its loyal subject opening the door to the adjoining [Jungle room] and peeking around with a hint of interest.

“INSTINCT!“ shouted to the Dungeon to itself.

Tell Bobby the Goblin to just stay near the entrance of his room. He's really dumb and I would like to investigate the Jungle Room more before sending him there, because... You know... I don't want him to touch a venemous plant or frog by accident (or just eating one) before we have a simple and understandable guide for him.

If this is not the case and he won't stupidly die by its own for just sending him there, then I support >>5118311

What about the difficulty?
Does setting the goblin in the jungle :
>Makes people resolve 2 DC at one?
>Increase the DC of either of the tests?

I'll go for moving goblin to [Jungle Room]. Viet cong gobo. Plus, maybe the spawner can (will?) spawn more monster if there are none in the room. So with the spawner, we can dispactch them.

Goblins would be useful if they weren't so goddamn retarded. Kinda ruins the point of choosing humanoid starter yeah?

>Goblins would be useful if they weren't so goddamn retarded

Take note that the Instinct said that creatures gain MP when they succeed at murderizing invaders, which can be used to alter minion stats. If the Goblin can successfully kill one or two of the invaders we should hopefully have enough MP to give them more intelligence to make better use of the Jungle to ambush people. We just need that one win and our Gobbos will be less retarded.

You still have plenty of time before the thread dies; this board isn't the fastest.

Also, I think you can only have 3 threads at any one point.
Currently, count between 30 to 40 days for a thread to fall off the board. You're new, I presume. /tg/ ?

>>5118819
>>5118982
Nothing said about murderizing, just defeating or routing. We don't have to kill people, you know ? Mechanics wise, a DC fail on a paltry swamp trap or on a goblin fight will count as victory. I feel that racking up a body count now is counter productive. Part of why I'm pushing for Broken dungeons. With that info comes bartering power.

>>5119639
>I feel that racking up a body count now is counter productive
It would be, if these people weren't street urchins or orphans. No one will miss these two or come to investigate their disapperance. We should absolutely kill them if we have the chances as they are the only ones who know of our existence, if we don't kill them chances are they will blab about the Dungeon to others if they manage to leave. As they said, we're a Baby Dungeon, we'll be easy prey if word gets around that we exist when we only have a two rooms and shitty Goblins as minions.

>>5119657
I consider them potential allies. They're the only ones who might have an interest in not "breaking" us but instead getting into a partnership, unlike the mercenaries they talked about.
In our current predicament, any info about the operation of dungeons they might have is precious to us.
I want to clear with QM whether an enemy that flees the dungeon from failing a DC will net us points or not. We can use them if that's the case.

They literally said in the update that they will break us and force loyalty on us and exploit us for cash. They are not 'potential' allies, they are actual enemies.

>“Listen, this is our only chance. We need to go in and start breaking the dungeon. It’s a slow process, it’ll take a while. But once we do, the dungeon will be loyal to us. Tons of money will follow"

How would you even get on this line of reasoning? This isn't Friendly-Catch-'Em-All-Befriend-'Em-All, if we do not rout invaders and kill enemies we do not gain experience points for us or for our minions.

>‘Monster Points' (MP) are gained when dungeon creatures defeat enemies.

It was funny to sic Bobby the Goblin on the rat and watch him fail, but if we continue to have this attitude that anything can be either befriended, reasoned with or tamed we will actually just lose the quest. It's kill or be killed here.

>>5119684
>They literally said in the update that they will break us and force loyalty on us and exploit us for cash. They are not 'potential' allies, they are actual enemies.
Well at least they know what breaking is. If we knew what breaking was, we could take advantage of them and fake it maybe ?
It beats dying.

>How would you even get on this line of reasoning? This isn't Friendly-Catch-'Em-All-Befriend-'Em-All, if we do not rout invaders and kill enemies we do not gain experience points for us or for our minions.
You're playing with the system. That is what gets you killed. Dungeons are born, dungeons grow, dungeons get heat, dungeons die. That's the system. I say we find the limits, and abuse the shit out of them. But we're going to need outside help for exploits.

It was funny to sic Bobby the Goblin on the rat and watch him fail, but if we continue to have this attitude that anything can be either befriended, reasoned with or tamed we will actually just lose the quest. It's kill or be killed here.
I'm one of those who found it pathetic, and it made me realize that if we don't get protectors or any way to not get invaded, we're fucked.

The Dungeon extended an invisible digit into the direction of the goblin, “You!”
To which the goblin responded with a tired gaze and sucking up a large string of slobber that had almost fallen to the ground.
"Into the jungle, solder! Go! Go! Go!” commanded the Dungeon, “You’re the last line of defence! Also the first!”

Whether or not the goblin understood the words was unclear, but it seemed to have picked up on the intent of it.
The goblin hurried though the door leading to the [Jungle room] and closed it behind him.

There was a brief moment where the Dungeon worried for the little guy as he waltzed right through beautiful, multi-coloured plants that usually indicate certain death.
Strangely enough, whatever mucus or poison was coating the large leaves and clearly brushing off onto the goblin seemed entirely ignored by it.
The goblin tried to hide.

A deep-blue frog crawled onto the goblin’s arm as he was hunkering down in the jungle.
They stared at each other for a brief moment, waiting for certain lethal expectations to be met.
At first nothing happened, but then nothing continued to happen.
Now, most frogs cannot sweat, but this one really wished it could.
The goblin took firm hold of the frog and stuffed it into one of its many little pouches, presumably as a snack for later.
Its eyes narrowed as the goblin heard footsteps closing in, changing from their usual, dopey look into into small, red beads burning with malice.

”Take a deep breath,” said Grez, “And let’s head in”
Manson did just that.

This was the most nerve-wracking part of being a dungeon.

Grez's eyes darted left and right, "Did you hear something?" she stammered, " A door?"
"What?" replied Manson, swatting at some kind of butterfly. Grez sighed, "Nevermind."
The two orphans made careful, hesitant steps as they began making their way through the [Jungle room].
Although the room was quite warm and humid, it wasn’t the reason that beads of sweat began to form on Grez’s brow.
“Just follow me, Manson,“ she said, swallowing, “And don’t touch anything.”

Manson nodded.

>>5119696

Eyes peeled and hearts thumping, the duo crept through the treacherous jungle.
When suddenly, there was a rustle coming from a nearby brush.
They both turned, their hands opening and closing at their sides -- agonizingly empty and void of weapons.
A large centipede sprang into view, rushing up Grez’s legs.
She shrieked in panic and flailed around, leg kicking at empty air, “Get it off! Get it off!” she cried, sending the little monster flying with a final kick.

It landed right in front of Manson, who unconsciously took a step backwards.
His heel caught on a exposed root, sending him tumbling backwards – into a dense collection of multi-coloured plants.
Tiny droplets and strange powders took to the air as Manson hit the jungle floor.
Manson immediately tried to get up, only to discover he vision began to swim.

”Manson, get up!” cried Grez, eyes wide and tears forming.

Manson’s eyes lulled from side-to-side, he seemed in a haze.
Surprisingly, he did manage to get up. He took a step.
Then, Manson’s eyes rolled back and his knees buckled.
He lay there then, sprawled out on the jungle floor.
Foam forming at the mouth.

[Hostile creature 'Manson' takes one (1) point of damage from [Jungle trap]]
[The health of hostile creature 'Manson' has reached zero (0).]
[Hostile creature 'Manson' has gone unconscious.]
[Hostile creature 'Manson' has been defeated.]
[The dungeon will now absorb hostile creature 'Manson']

Grez grabbed Manson’s leg with both hands and began to pull him backwards.
Her tear-filled eyes glancing over her shoulder and locking on the exit barely 10 ft. away, “Hang on!”
She managed to drag his unconscious form barely a foot, when it felt like the weight of the world was clinging to the other side of her fallen friend.

An investigative glance told her that Manson’s body was disappearing into the jungle floor.
Complete panic took Grez, just stammers and moans making an attempt at words.
She began yanking at Manson’s leg with all her might, but it would not budge in the slightest.
The pale-green skinned woman only succeeded in pulling off his boot and was forced to watch as Manson’s familiar face was devoured by the dungeon.

A dozen bugs or so darted in each and every direction when she threw the newly-acquired boot on the ground.
She sat on the spongy jungle floor, tears falling, “I’m sorry,” she muttered.

A new sound echoed through the small chamber.
A cackle.

>>5119732

With a sudden rush of movement, the goblin burst forth out of the bushes.
Red eyes gleaming, mismatched teeth of full display.
It extended a grubby hand towards Grez, who tried dodging underneath it, but was unable to.
The goblin body slammed into Grez, knocking the wind out of her. They hit the jungle floor in a heap.
Grez hit the ground back-first, unfocused eyes staring at the ceiling, with the goblin sprawled out over her midsection.
Grez groaned, trying to push the small, green creature off her body, but it seemed to have a different opinion on the matter.

With a shift of movement, the goblin straddled Grez, drool collecting at the corner of its open mouth.
Grez tried to push him off again, but he wouldn’t budge, ”You’re awfully strong for a midget,” she said, teeth clenched with effort.

A surge of strength came to her. Found within the fact that many jungle floor denizens were currently skittering their way towards her, their excessive amount of legs pumping with effort, and venom dripping from mandibles, stingers, and pincers. Grez slammed her hands into the chest of the goblin, which rolled backwards – slightly dazed.

The half-orc then jumped from leg to leg, trying to avoid the aggressive bottom-dwellers snapping away at her feet.

The goblin shook its head wildly to fight off the shock and then sprang to its feet with renewed vigour.
It dashed back towards Grez, who was barely able to side-step it.
The hasty goblin then tripped, going face-first into the spongy jungle floor.
Something connected with its face.

One should spend money where they spend time. For most people, that would be a proper bed, a good chair, and nice shoes.
After all, when you’re not using one, you’re using one of the others. An expensive affair, to be sure.
But, there’s one secret trick that the furniture makers of the [Trade District] don’t want you to know.
Simply become homeless.

You’ll save tons of money on frivolous beds and chairs.
What little money a, say, homeless orphan has can then instead be spend on solid, proper boots.
And when we mean solid, we mean the steel-toed variety.

Dearly-departed Manson’s boot connected with the goblin’s face, causing its crooked teeth to go flying.
Grez brought it down again and again. Until the goblin was a lifeless heap of flesh.
The body then exploded into a shower of sparks and glitter that was drawn into the ceiling of the dungeon and then rained down in the [Goblin warcamp] where it was drawn into the tent.

>>5119827

Grez stood amidst the jungle, panting heavily and clutching a bloody boot. Hazardous insects were still about.
She could hear them move their many legs over the uneven jungle floor, skittering about.
The half-orc seemed mere moments away from complete despair, she dropped the boot.
Honestly, she wanted to run. There was no way of knowing how many rooms still remained.
But they were all certain to contain perils that could get her killed.

Determination crept into her face as she watched the sparkles disappear into the ceiling.
A confused little frog appeared where the goblin’s body had been, which shot a glance at Grez.
Fortunately, the frog’s confidence in its killing potential had recently taken a considerable blow, and so it decided to scamper off.

Unlike the frog, Grez would not run. She owed it to Manson.
Furthermore, it would set this weird precedent where people were forced to make rolls outside of dungeon mechanics that would likely end up
with a certain narrative entity being forced to explain why person A would make a “Wisdom saving throw“ now in this situation, but
person B in a similar situation wouldn’t.

Grez pressed on.

She carefully made her way through the rest of the jungle, keeping a weary eye on its many dangers.
Although things like frogs, centipedes, and their ilk followed, they did not approach.
Instead keeping a short distance between themselves and Grez, seemingly bound by unknown rules.

A large stone door awaited her at the end of chamber. She swallowed, preparing herself for what was to come.
She placed her green hands on the cool stone and pushed the door open.
The room was almost barren aside from a small campfire, a ragged-looking tent, and some small bushes.

Grez had a brief look around the [Goblin warcamp], but there wasn’t much to look at.
She checked out the tent for a moment where she spotted the large, muscular goblin statue with abs for days.
The half-orc winced, “Weirdos,” she said, “Might be worth money though. Hmm.”
Exiting the tent, she took a deep breath, “Alright, let’s keep going.”
Not wasting anymore time, she headed for the [Core room].

------------

The Dungeon had spent the moments leading up to the half-orc’s entrance to the [Core room] screaming incoherently.
”She’s here,” shouted the Dungeon, franticly bouncing its unseen body around the room, “Instinct, save me!”
No response. “Instinct!“ the dungeon tried again.

[Investigating 'Breaking'.]

Query: Save me
Context: Core room under attack

Response:
Think happy thoughts.

”So, this is it,” said the half-orc woman.
Her voice sounded different so close by. So more real.
”All I need to do now is enact my will on it,” she said, then glanced left and right, making sure she was alone, “Dominate it.“
Despite all that happened. Despite the tears and bloodshed. It was still embarrassing.
Wordlessly, she flexed her right bicep for a moment, considering her options.
She shook her head and sighed. The half-orc women then flashed a playful smile.

[Hostile creature ‘Grez Wildflower' is attempting to break the dungeon]
['Dungeon core' under breaking. Switching to ‘Dungeon core’ perspective.]

The half-orc woman traced a singular index finger over the large, glass orb, which send shivers down your spine.
”You’ve been a naughty, haven’t you?” she said, blushing furiously, “I could’ve gotten hurt.“
She ran her fingertips over your orb, sparking flashes in your mind that send it reeling.

A surge of panic flooded your being as she lifted the orb off the pedestal, holding you a mere three feet off the ground.
It made you feel so helpless, so fragile. Your life was literally in the palm of her hands.
She took the orb and pressed its cool surface to her stomach, a comfortable warmth crept through her clothing, warming the surface of your core,
“Never hurt me again,“ she whispered, raising the orb, now a fraction of an inch away from her lips.
She took your silence for unspoken approval, “Good boy.“

The half-orc woman then placed the glass orb back on the pedestal, leaving you hunger for her warmth.
Though you didn’t have to want for her touch for long, she send all ten of her fingers sliding across the surface of your core.
It send red-hot spikes of pleasures into your mind.
The slender half-orc smiled, flaunting superiority, ”Serve me.”

So, this is it?
We lost the quest?
For more interaction, maybe let the player roll for important things. Like what is happening right now. This skew a bit the odds in favor of player, but is a good thing. Some thing along the line of "Best of 3 rolls" allow some decent engagement

An sudden explosion of warmth rushes through your entire being.
There’s nothing you want more than serving her. To be owned by her.
To be the little orb that she crushes underneath her boot.

A smile appears on Grez’s face, she seemed to have noticed your submission.
She watches as the rolling collection of colours dancing within your core darken every so slightly.
The rainbow within becoming a bit less vibrant, a bit more subdued.

Could be worse. It could have been a full orc, a goblin..... A rat or worst of all... a Dragon. The last one especially we could never overthrow.

Rolled 48 (1d100)
Rolled 51 (1d100)

You then pick from this list.

--------

42: Sadism

The Dungeon now relishes in the suffering of others.
You are no longer able to release people you’ve captured without first harming or branding them.

Unlocks
- Unit: Goblin Brute (1 MP)
- Room: Branding chamber (5 DP)

--------

48: Mind break

Nothing delights the Dungeon more than mentally breaking those that have dared to challenge it.
Capturing people will automatically result in a “mind break” attempt.

Unlocks
- Unit: Goblin Shaman (2 MP)
- Room: Brain pain chamber (3 DP)

--------

Gender Bender

The Dungeon has developed a taste for gender modification.
You are no longer able to release people you’ve captured without altering their sex.

Unlocks
- Unit: Changeling (3 MP)
- Room: Conversation Chamber (3 DP)

Interesting mechanics, failing isn't a complete failure and will allow us new upgrade paths and rooms. The question is then how many times can we get broken before we lose the quest.

>42 - Sadism
>Unit: Goblin Brute (1 MP)
>Room: Branding chamber (5 DP)
A one MP upgrade of the Goblin to hopefully make it less shit at dealing damage, a base 40% chance at succeeding a damage roll isn't good at all. Shaman could be an interesting path too since it could synergize with the Jungle tile.

>>5120717
> 42 - Sadism

Lets stay somewhat PG for now. And the brute might help us with new and old foes.

I just hope we can break this girl back later. Perferqbly using a Heavy Club connecting with her Cranium and splattering the brain everywhere.

Or put it on a Spike.

>>5120717
Really nice mechanic.
>Mind Break
This would be my main choice.
We could get the Shaman, as we wish to get intelligent Gob-congs this is the way.

Also, could we get way to lock door and put keys elsewhere? Forcing people to backtrack and go again in environmental challenging room could be good.

just fluff/flavor text or the new way we approach things?

>>5120731
>as we wish to get intelligent Gob-congs this is the way.
A Brute Goblin envisions what I want from a Vietcong Gobo more than a Shaman, as the former one would be focused on physical strength over magical prowess of a Shaman. If I haven't misunderstood the description we can edit monster templates or individual monster to up specific stats when (if?) we ever get some MP, so we can hopefully edit the Brutes to be clever enough to utilize the Jungle properly. Honestly a clever Brute Goblin Hunter sounds less like the Vietcong and more like the Predator when we eventually get there, which would be a nightmare for anyone invading.

>>5120762

because it honestly may be either one and I want to know before making the choice

Im split between SADISM and MINDBREAK.
The
>You are no longer able to release people you’ve captured without first harming or branding them.
seems like it may allow us to both give out a wristslap or a torture so awful they will wish to be dead instead.
Same with branding, it depends on size and location of a brand.
And lets be honest, if you get caught by a dungeon some mark or whipping is the least punishment you should expect.
Also, Brute at least sounds a bit more powerful and is cheap.

On the other hand mindbreak seems like a fair deal for that 'breaking' bussiness adventurers seem to be so fond of, and 'Brain pain chamber' makes me thing its not used for the fun type of mindbreaking. Also, maybe potential conversion of invaders into allays?
Shaman may or may not be smarter than our standard Gob and is probably going to do some magic and shit.

>>5120731
>Also, could we get way to lock door and put keys elsewhere?
I'll keep this in mind. It would essentially result in an "Investigation" check.
So: Jungle (Roll Save) -> Camp -> Realize you need a key -> Check camp -> Check Jungle (Roll save again)
Hostile creatures would be able to search an area as many times as they like, but would have to roll against jungle save DC for each attempt.
You can probably tell that this would be quite powerful, so I might put some requirements before you can attain this.

>>5120762

First line: Narrative change
Second line: Mechanical change

"Corruption" alters the personality of the Dungeon.
It will also change the options offered.
For example: A dungeon with the "Sadism" trait is far less likely to take mercy.

Grez releases a breath she hadn’t realised she was holding, “…It worked”
Then, feeling like she has a persona to keep-up, off-handily pats the dungeon core, “Well done.”
She glances over the slightly-dimmed colours dancing within the orb, “Hmm, still seeing a lot of colour,” she says, “At least five more times, I’d say?”
The woman sighs, planting her hands in her side, “Wish I could just do them all at once.”

The half-orc woman takes a deep breath, “Don’t go anywhere,“ she says, slightly giddy, “I’ll be back later this week."
”Not gonna gamble like this again though, I’ll find a way to prepare,” she adds.
She pinches her chin for a moment, thinking, “I didn’t wanna do this, but maybe I should ask for a loan from the Blackwood brothers,“ she says, wincing, ”Gonna need some weapons and armour for me and….”
Reality taps Grez on the shoulder, no longer content with being forgotten, “…Manson,” she whispers.

----------------------------------

Slowly, but surely, the world comes back into focus for the Dungeon.
For a while there it was like somebody ran its consciousness through a blender.
It begins to remember. The vaguely invasive feeling. The domination.
A superior being looking down upon a submissive wretch.

The Dungeon thinks back to those moments of ecstasy, trying to relive that bliss.
The memory is there, but something doesn’t feel right.
That moment of submission, it begins to feel wrong.
Disgusting, even.
After a moment of silence, the Dungeon speaks up, ”The one in power should have been ME.”

[The Dungeon has gained the [Sadism] trait.]
[A [Goblin] can now be upgraded into a [Goblin Brute].]
[A [Branding chamber] can now be constructed.]

Whatever it was that happened earlier, the Dungeon vows that it will never happen again.
The mere idea that an act of submission brought it pleasure just now is enough to churn its non-existent stomach.
”Instinct,” commands the Dungeon, “Details.”
After a little ping, indicating compliance, information appears before the Dungeon.

>>5123838

=========================

[Monster Upgrade] - Mechanic
The Dungeon can share a sliver of its [Corruption] with a monster, corrupting it.
The effect gained depends on the [Corruption] shared and the level of corruption.

---------

[Goblin Brute] - Monster Upgrade (1 MP)
Created by sharing a sliver of [Sadism], a [Goblin Brute] is a savage creature that thrives on torment and suffering.
Its defining trait is its cruelty. It will pursue enemies as long as they remain within the dungeon, even if they change rooms or try to flee.

Goblin Brute
Attacks made by Goblin Brutes force a DC12 Strength saving throw against a single enemy.
This DC increases to DC14 if the Goblin Brute has already taken down a hostile creature in the current invasion.

---------

[Branding chamber] - Room (5 DP)
The walls of this torture chamber are lined with chains and shackles, where prisoners can be kept.
The centre is dominated by a large, round forge. A branding iron sits within the forge, sporting an ever-changing brand.
By using this item, the Dungeon can mark a prisoner with a randomized or known brand.
Brands are a form of [Curse Mark] and can be removed with powerful cleansing magic.
An individual can have multiple brands.

Examples
Brand of Suffering The target will take double damage from failed saving throws
Brand of Lost Light The target will go blind. Automatically failing all sight based saving throws.

=========================

The Dungeon sweeps its gaze over the new options. And their cost.
As if aware of its concern, Instinct reveals the invasion summary.

=========================

Invasion summary: Defeat

All creatures and traps in the dungeon have been bested.

Amount of enemies beaten: 1
Amount of dungeon points (DP) gained: 0
Amount of monster points (MP) gained: 1

Hostile creature 'Manson Nielsen' is currently held by the dungeon

=========================

“Manson Nielsen,“ the Dungeon says to itself, “How should I use this sorry little miscreant?”
The Dungeon's metaphorical eyes gleam, “I suppose I can always release my frustrations on this runt.”
Instinct helpfully begins to gather details.

>>5123842

“Hey, Dungeon,“ an uncertain Grez says, quickly adjusting her persona, “I mean, servant.”

The Dungeon stares at this wench for a moment, its face twisting in disgust, “I want this bitch out of here,” it says, its voice almost a growl.
“Looking at her ugly face reminds me of….” it says, not finishing the sentence.

”I heard there are ‘friendly' dungeons out there,” says Grez, smiling playfully, “Good little boys, like you.“
”They don’t eat people, but spit them back out,” she continues, “They become a harmless training ground. Everybody loves them!”
”You want me to come play with you again, right?” says the half-orc, trying to keep herself from going red in the face, “Well, I need my friend for that.”

On the one hand, the Dungeon would like nothing more than to reveal the unconscious form
of Manson, carefully lift him from the earth that keeps him, and see that moment of relief on
the half-orc’s face. Only to then tear him apart right before her very eyes.

On the other hand, releasing Manson would mean you might be able to defeat him again, getting more monster points.
Furthermore, the little bitch is dumb, but not retarded. She’s probably not gonna come back alone, might be best for that additional person to be little Manny.

Announced by a cheerful little ping, Instinct reveals your options regarding the fate of Manson.

> 1 - Consume hostile creature 'Manson Nielsen' and gain 2 [Monster Points]
> 2 - Consume hostile creature 'Manson Nielsen' and gain 2 [Dungeon Points]
> 3 - Release hostile creature 'Manson Nielsen' (Warning: Sadism trait)

Seems like I got timed out again.
My messages aren't bumping the post.
I also already have 3 threads active, so I can't post a new one with the updates.

>>5123849
I'll try to fix this in a couple of hours.
I would appreciate it if somebody could tell me why I keep getting bump blocked.
I'm new to /qst/

>>5123846
Brute Goblin increasing it's base chance to beat the strength check from 40% to 60% and subsequent checks if it succeeds to 70%, great googly moogly yes please.

So, we can eat Manson for Dungeon Points, eat Manson for Monster Points, release Manson and take a (potentially) significant penalty or leave him alive and do nothing with him.

In choices 1 and 2, Graz comes back for revenge because we killed Manson. In choice 3, she'll come back with Manson to a (probably) crippled Dungeon. In choice 4, she'll come back to resuce Manson. In all choices she comes back, better equipped and probably with backup. How much is anyone's guess, but considering she wants to keep this dungeon to herself it's probably a negligible group, most likely more street urchins that were moving in the same circles as her and Manson, with rudimentary gear at best.

Two of these choices give us resources to fight back, two don't. My choice:

>1 - Consume hostile creature 'Manson Nielsen' and gain 2 [Monster Points]
Monster Points are a more rare resource than Dungeon Points, we'll get Dungeon Points just for existing while we need to beat enemies and consume them to score Monster Points. Further upgrading our Monsters is necessary if we wish to keep ourselves being broken to a minimum. We can spend one point making our Bobblin the Goblin to a Brute and then hopefully spend the other two to increase the Spawn Rate so we can have multiple Goblins on the field at once, maybe even get two Brutes in total.

>>5123865
Threads are auto-saged after 72 hours, but the board is slow enough that threads last weeks before falling off. Just keep posting updates in this thread until you hit Page 10, then archive the thread and post a new one afterwards. That's the basic procedure here, and players usually sort threads in the catalog by new posts as supposed to Bump Order that you'd do in more fast pace boards.

>>5123883
Good reasoning, +1 to this.

>>5123846
> 1 - Consume hostile creature 'Manson Nielsen' and gain 2 [Monster Points]

Monster points are more useful right now. With the one point we got from the invasion we could create a Brute already which would probably wreck this girl the next time she comes around even if she is armed.

while i would usually be more merciful we are fighting for survival here. Later on we can release people to make an example of them.

>>5123846
IDEA!
Can we brand Manson with a curse that generates MP or DP for us passively over time?

>>5124223
We don't have the branding chamber yet
>>5123883
Supporting this. We need to upgrade Bobblin, and either spawn rate or max number or anything.

>>5123846
>>5123883 +1

Also as they said no need to make a thread or anything yet, it will be up a good long time

>>5123883
Supporting
I would hesitate to support an option that invites even more dangerous/prepared people in here, but we don't really have a choice.
We have nothing to reliably stop anyone waltzing in here, the MP should at least give us a fighting chance.
With any luck they will take a few days, giving us some DP as well. Maybe some other weakling will find the dungeon and walk in?

>>5124414
The weakling fodder walking in would be ideal.

>>5123846

The slight tremble in her voice, a trickle of sweat running down the side of her neck.
Although she appears strong and confident, the half-orc woman is terrified.
Grez puts up her persona again, “Manson better be near the entrance when I get out of here,“ she barks.
Her tone then softens, “I know we got off on the wrong foot, but we can make this work.“

And then, she turns – walking towards the exit. Taking her air of self-importance with her.
It seems like she is able to return back to the entrance without any trouble, picking up Manson’s boot along the way.
Perhaps some kind of perk for having “beaten” the dungeon.
She then idles near the entrance, looking around and tapping her foot, “Well?”

The jungle floor near the entrance begins to part, there’s a nauseating little gurgle as something is brought up and ejected.
Grez looks upon the whole affair with a mixture of revulsion and pride, but then goes pale.
Eyes wide, brimming with tears, she stares at the amputated chunk of flesh.
She pulls Manson’s boot close. Still useful, but in the worst way possible.

[The invasive force has left the dungeon.]
[All monsters within the dungeon will now respawn and traps will reset.]

”Get off on the right foot then, bitch.”

[The Dungeon has reset.]

[The Dungeon has consumed hostile creature 'Manson Nielsen']
[The Dungeon has gained two (2) Monster Points (MP)]
[Total amount of Monster Points (MP): 3]

There was some screaming. A general collection of vows of vengeance. And a lot of anger.
All-in-all it warmed the Dungeon to its very core. Well, mostly the core.
”She’ll be back,” the Dungeon remarks, “Try to ‘Break' me.”
It turned its attention back to the dungeon.
”Somebody will be broken alright,” it continues, “But it won’t be me.”

[The Dungeon has enough ‘Monster Points' to upgrade or spawn additional monsters.]

The Dungeon settles down in its core room, “Let’s see it.”

1 - Spawn an additional [Goblin] (1 MP)
2 - Corrupt an existing [Goblin] and turn it into a [Goblin Brute] (1 MP)
3 - Combination of the two (Write-in)

>>5124434
Do we have a spawn limit on mobs per floor? And how does multiple Goblins affect the DC people have to make, does more monsters = higher total DC or does it force multiple rolls?

>>5124438
No spawn limit per floor.
3 monster limit per room (base size room).
Multiple goblins means multiple rolls.

A goblin can only fight a single enemy at a time.

> 3 goblins
> 2 hostile creatures
> Hostile creature both make a saving throw
> If they succeed then a goblin is slain and they fight the next goblin.
> If they fail then they lose a point of health and go again if not defeated
> If they are defeated then the goblin will continue to fight the next hostile creature

>>5124447
Is there some sort of bonus if multiple monsters attack the same creature at once?
Or is that not possible.

>>5124434
My vote would be
>Spawn an additional Goblin
> Corrupt an existing [Goblin] and turn it into a [Goblin Brute] (1 MP)
> Corrupt an existing [Goblin] and turn it into a [Goblin Brute] (1 MP)

Send them both in the jungle. Make them fill the pockets with nasty stuff, to force a jungle check again when defeated?

>>5124434
Let's say the dungeon grows again with DP... Can we switch room order?
My idea would be replacing the gob camp by a pit trap room, put the gob camp on the right of the jungle, put a key lock in the pit trap room. Adventurer would in best case go through Jungle, pit, jungle, gob camp, jungle and pit;
Worst case is Jungle, gob camp, jungle, pit.
What do you guys think?

>>5124449
Not at this point in time, no.
You've got the most basic type of goblin.

>>5124434
Supporting >>5124450
Lets make sure that the girl will have a hard as time as possible when she returns. Her weakeat was Strength and to be honest it should be possible to wreck her and whatever other Children (she will probably recruit more orphans) come with her

>>5124447
OK, thanks for the clarification.

>>5124450
Yeah, this seems like the preferable choices. We could have 4 base gobbos with a DC Strength Check of 8 each, one Brute and two base Gobbos for one 12 check and two 8 checks, or two Brutes for two checks of 12.

The probability of 4 base gobbos winning all their checks are 2%, with a 12% chance of no gobbos succeeding their checks. Probability of at least one check being passed by the base gobbos is 87%, whereas the adventures has a 97% chance to succeed at least once. Odds not great.

With two Brutes, the chances of them succeeding at least once is 84% which turns in to a flat 70% chance for the remaining Brute to win any further checks. In contrast, any adventurer has a 36% chance to fail both checks and a only a 16% chance to succeed both checks.

>>5124452
>Can we switch room order?
We've moved rooms around before when we moved the Goblin Camp and Core Room back one tile to place the Jungle Tile, so being able to shuffle the rooms around like that is probably something we can do.
>What do you guys think?
Your suggestion is solid, but the QM hinted at that being able to lock rooms with keys might be too powerful to just hand over to us that easily, as you can force many checks by having enemies backtrack. It logically makes sense that'd we'd be able to create locks, but it would most likely trivialize the quest at this early stage due to low stat lines on enemies. Keep it in mind as we grow though, when we have multiple floors and get invaded by stronger forces it won't be nearly as game breaking to create locked doors.

>>5124434
>>5124450 +1

>>5124470
>>5124471
Yeah, let's not trivialize the quest.
We can also keep in mind locks can be broken with a strength check, or picked with a thieves tools check, to un-OP it. Maybe the lock and key will be a room by itself choosable in the next expansion.

>>5124453
I see.
I will assume that whether invaders can pile on our monsters will depend on their threat level as well, and that some random orphans will not be able to do that. Correct me if I am wrong.

>>5124450
I'll support this.

Based on an above post, the chance of 4 goblins stopping a single invader is higher (if you ignore that they could have strength bonuses, which is very possible) but if there are multiple of them the goblins will get picked off between fighting each invader.
Brutes would have less chance of that and get stronger after winning besides. I would say this is the best choice.

>>5124483

The Dungeon watched as Grez disappeared into the cavern.
After a moment it heard the sound of exaggerated footsteps, Grez stomping her feet as she made her way up some staircase.
Clearly ticked off. Delightful.
This orphanage they spoke off must not be that far off.

With a ruffle of the tent, goblin twice-fallen crawled back into existence and stretches.
It either doesn’t remember dying or it doesn’t mind.

The Dungeon’s eyes fall upon the goblin and it begins to shake under the weight of the gaze. ”You’ve disappointed me for the last time,” sneers the Dungeon, “Come to my [Core room]. Now.”

In a fit of panic, the goblin hurries to the [Core room], where it stops for a brief moment.
It runs a hand past the corner of its mouth, wiping away the slobber.
Which would’ve been commendable, if it wasn’t for the fact that it then used this slobber to try and clean its face.

While the goblin is performing this counter-productive exercise, the Dungeon mulls over the goblin’s performance thus far.
This wretched little excuse for a minion always seems to lose. It isn’t very strong. It isn’t very bright. Mostly just pitiful, really.
Strength in numbers was the only play to make. Time to put those [Monster Points] to use.

[The Dungeon spends 1 Monster Point to spawn another Goblin]

And so, with a groan normally reserved for the eternally employed, another green-skinned bag of sadness creeps out of the tent.
It looks like your first goblin: short with haunting red eyes. But this one is little more squat with an upturned, piggy-like nose.

Goblin one finishes brushing up as it hears a noise coming from behind it.
It turns around, snarling – ready for a fight.
Though its performance is nothing to write home about, it at least has the proper spirit of things.

The goblins lock eyes and carefully shuffle towards one another, carefully looking each other over.
After a brief inspection, they give each other a nod of approval. Apparently things are looking good.
Gripping each other by the forearm, they exchange some sort of greeting. A form of snarling cackle.
They then pat each other on the back. Their greatest display of intelligence thus far.

Normally, the Dungeon wouldn’t have disapproved of this sort of behaviour.
But it seemed strangely short-tempered since the encounter with the half-orc woman.
”Making friends, are we?” asked the Dungeon, ice in its voice.

The goblins trembled.

”Get over to the [Core room] or I’ll force you to kill each other over and over.” snapped the Dungeon, “Let’s see if your friendship endures that.”
The goblins rushed towards the door where goblin one stopped the piggy goblin.
Goblin one wiped some slobber from the corner of its mouth and cleaned up the new arrival.
The door to the [Core room] opened.

Hunched and eyes at their feet, the goblins inched their way through the room, standing mere feet away from the core.

”Rejoice,” boomed the Dungeon, “For you have both been chosen. A promotion.”

Piggy goblin’s eyes shone with delight.
Goblin one seemed equally excited, but a little put off by the fact that the new hire got the same promotion he was getting.

The torrent of colours within the core began to churn once more. A dark, smoky tendril rose from its surface.
It danced around the goblin for a moment, like a snake wrapping itself around its prey.
Closing in around the goblins, which couldn’t help but begin breathing in the smoke.

They began to scream. A wail at first, that then turned into a blood-curdling screech.
With a snap-crackle-pop, their sizes grew. Their nails extending to sharp claws.
A snarl revealed their teeth turning into razor-sharp daggers, easily able to tear flesh from bone.

[Total amount of Monster Points (MP): 0]

The newly turned creatures glanced over their new forms for a moment, then at one another.
Screeching, they immediately began fighting one another.
Devilish grins appeared on their faces whenever they found themselves able to bleed the other.

”Thats enough!” roared the Dungeon.
The fighting stopped. The Dungeon’s orders absolute.
”Your station is in the [Jungle Room],” commanded the Dungeon, “Get out of my sight.”

They went.
Pushing and shoving each other as soon as they thought themselves out of line of sight of the core.
But going towards the [Jungle Room] nevertheless.

A cold shiver coursed through the Dungeon’s mind as it imagined the unexpecting Grez walking into its new bouncers.
”Ah,” whispered the Dungeon under its breath, “I can’t wait to hear what kind screams you’ll make.”

>>5124572
How giddy to have newly improved slaves. But any creature deserving of a promotion, even one as lowly as a goblin, deserves a name. Symbolic of the source of energies used to enhance their abilities, why not name them Manson and Nielsen respectively?

A permanent spit in the face to the dead.

Reality, however, turned out to be… Well, let’s say: An anti-climax. Three days went by.

[You’ve gained one (1) ‘Dungeon Point']
[Total amount of 'Dungeon Points': 3]
[You have enough 'Dungeon Points' to build a room]
[Basic dungeon rooms cost '3' 'Dungeon Points']

> 1 - Buy a new room
> 2 - Expand an existing room
> 3 - Move rooms
> 4 - Write in

>>5124581
>what does expanding a room do again? Increase the DC?

>>5124581
The other room options we have at this point - Pit and Marshlands, are not so exciting in terms of utility that I think we need them right away. Unless we've gained new options like something that would generate us Monster Points over time or let us do room research, I think we should hold off on new rooms. Since there's no need to move rooms (we only JUST rearranged to have the goblin camp in the rear) with such a simple layout at this point, that leaves only expanding a room as a logical option.

Could you explain the benefits of expanding our goblin warcamp compared to expanding our jungle? Does it merely affect size (e.g.: number of monsters we can store there) or does it enhance the DC on the jungle trap for example, or a better camp make goblins cheaper/stronger/new types available?

>>5124581
>Expand an existing room - Jungle Trap, Tile 2

We should expand our Jungle Trap to increase the chance of it actually killing people, with just a measly 25% base chance of killing an intruder is laughably low (I say as it's the only thing that managed to kill anything thus far). My suggestion is that we add tiles to the Jungle room until it hits the point where it evolves and then swap to another type of trap room afterwards. My guess is the magic number is three, but traps could have multiple levels of evolution.

Quoting the relevant information from earlier in the thread.
>Rather than forcing multiple “Saving throws“, a larger room has a higher “Difficulty check (DC)“.
>Example: A [Pond room] might evolve into a [Lake room] if it grows large enough.

>>5124581
>Expand the Jungle room to tile 2
>Move the Goblin Camp to tile 4 and the Core to tile 6. Just to make a more interesting Shape even if it does nothing more than that

>>5124581
>> 2 - Expand an existing room
> Jungle Trap
I think its a good idea to keep our adversaries in mind when expanding, and looking at Grez's stats, her weak points were strength and constitution. This leaves us with the Marsh room or Jungle.
Getting a higher DC would probably help more then getting another low one, so I'm going with expansion.

Though >>5124586 raised a good question, what would we get for expanding the goblin room?

>>5124605
We will get more spawn max >>5124447
... and maybe that thing will expand when we get several of them. I could imagine upgrade from Goblin camp to Goblin Fort and the Fortress etc.

Still thinking a pit trap would be better than extension of either room. This would check an other ability.
QM, do we unlocked more rooms?
Else, if we upgrade the jungle I would just expand it to the 1 slot.

>>5124586
>Could you explain the benefits of expanding our goblin warcamp compared to expanding our jungle?

>Increase in max amount of monsters on the tile / room.

Upgrading the size of a "Spawn" room will upgrade it to a higher tier.
Higher tiers grant access to stronger, more expensive units.
For example: Additional types of goblinoid.

>>5124613
Basically has the correct idea.

Keep in mind that without meeting any special requirements, these would be "basic" higher tiers.
This doesn't mean that they're bad and in some cases you need to upgrade to a higher tier before you can make use of the special condition.

For example:
Only a [Giant Slime] (obtained after going from a [Slime Pool] to a [Slime Pond]) can meet the special condition to turn into a [Predator Slime].
Where a [Predator Slime] is essentially a "Gelatinous Cube" for those that are familiar with D&D.

This is likely also one of the last "systems" I'm introducing for the time being.
Don't want the quest to become unnecessarily complex.

>>5124597
+1

+1 more for expanding jungle trap, we just upgraded our goblins, we might want to add more before we keep stacking on the first two

I wonder if we could add some sort of "honey pot" side room to the Jungle that would tempt greedy adventurers with some kind of loot to get them to go through the Jungle multiple times.

Looks like almost everybody wants to upgrade the jungle... Now we have to agree about where.
Voting for 1
>>5124674
This is why I wanted to set up locks and key.

>>5124674
Actually, I have an idea for this. If we can't get a "treasure room" or something, we can put the Brand room next to the jungle, so if people want to rescue prisoners, they have to take an extra trip through the jungle.

>>5124605
Supporting this

>>5124605
+1

It seems like expanding the [Jungle Room] is the preferred option.

As >>5124676 mentioned. I need to know which tile.
Any other changes to the general layout of the dungeon like >>5124600 suggested?

>>5124761
As long as an invader needs to go through the entirety of all rooms to reach the core, it will do.

I will suggest moving the core room and goblin camp to tile 5 & 3 respectively, and grow the jungle trap into where the goblin camp is currently.
Because I think that would look nice.

I fear the noise of roonshuffle is going to make someone notice our presence, thats what happened previous time.

>>5124769
Wouldn't growing the room make noise anyway?
If not, then I guess we can expand towards 1 or 2, I will assume the DC would not go down from invaders beelining it to the goblin camp.

>>5124769
The creation of new rooms also creates noise so shuffling them about should not be too bad on top of that. And we will have to shuffle anyway if we later want to make our core more sexure

>>5124761
>>5124600's suggestion is fine

>>5124917
We'll go with that then.

I'll post an update tomorrow.

Once again, the familiar blue spark appear.
The hardest worker in the entire dungeon. And it was going to work even harder.

”There’s gonna be some… redecorating,” said the Dungeon, “I’m not fond of the current layout.”

The blue spark bobbed around angrily. A feeling shared and understood by anyone who has ever done any creative work.

”I am fully aware that is was me that came up with the current layout,” explained the Dungeon, not liking the fact that it was being questioned, “But now that I see it. I’m not liking it.”

A tiny, high-pitched buzz sounded from the spark, not entirely unlike a sigh.
It brought out a tiny notepad and a pencil.

”Any rat could stare right into my [Core room] if a goblin was dumb enough to leave the doors open,” hazarded the Dungeon.
”And they are.” it added quickly. ”

The [Core room] and [Goblin War-camp] need to be moved about fifteen feet to the right,” it began, “And the [Jungle room] should stay where it is, but expand fifteen feet towards the right so it lines up with the moved chambers.”

”Oh. And about the [Jungle room].”

The little blue spark looked up questioningly.

”Can you make it POP more?”

Small bits of lightning crackled over the blue spark’s surface.

Nevertheless, it went to work. Completing its client’s request to the best of its ability.
It cut out and vaporized massive chunks of rock and, with a mighty grinding noise, moved the core and jungle room into place.
Only to recreate the rocks in the previous location of these rooms.

The blue spark swirled around in the [Jungle room] for a moment, to relax.
But a [Goblin brute] thought it was some kind of mosquito and began swatting at it whilst snarling.

Blue spark’s break time rudely interrupted, it continued the project.
It cleared rocks, brought forth sand, created plants, spawned lethal bugs, and released some butterflies.
In no time at all, the [Jungle room] was doubled in size.

Finally, it disappeared with a puff of glitter and went back to its home dimension.
Probably to visit a therapist.

It almost seemed like the contents of the [Jungle room] lurched upon completion, causing all plants to rock back and forth.
Dozens of spores, powders, and (by the grace of a very confused frog) poisons took flight.
The goblins watched the display with wide-eyed amazement, but began coughing and wheezing shortly after.
These sorry little green devils scratched at their throats, screaming in pain.

The Dungeon watched on in morbid fascination, delighting in their suffering, but at the same time puzzled by the
fact that the goblins had been unaffected by the [Jungle room]'s toxins until now.

One of them went quiet and his eyes rolled over into its skull, falling backwards, and exploding into sparks and glitter.
The magic essence disappearing into the ceiling, swishing away towards the tent in the [Goblin War-camp].

The other one wasn’t so lucky. Its vile green face began turning red as it continued screaming.
Veins on the arms and legs began to bulge, pressed tightly against the skin.
Its complexion changed, dark-green spots appeared on the creature’s skin.
The blood-red eyes clouded over momentarily, turning into a murky green.
Sharp claws coated in some kind of dense, acid-green liquid.

[Monster [Goblin Brute] has mutated into [Goblin Blight Bringer].]

==========================

Goblin Blight Bringer
Attacks made by Goblin Blight Bringers force a DC12 Strength saving throw against a single enemy.
A hostile creatures that fails the saving throw against the Goblin Blight Bringer is considered [Poisoned].

Jungle Toxin [i[(Origin: Jungle Room)[/i]
DC: 8 (Constitution)
Rooms: 2
Damage: 1

==========================

Poisoned [i[Condition[/i]
A creature that is poisoned needs to make a DC X constitution saving throw every room, for Y amount of rooms, after which the poison wears off.
Upon failure, the creature takes Z amount of damage.
The amount of rooms, the DC, and the amount of damage depend on the severity of the poison.

==========================

I had some more planned, but considering the time I'll have to postpone that until tomorrow.

Nice!
Now, let's say we expand the goblin camp into fortress... Maybe gobs inside will be positively affected like what just happened?

>>5127420
we will be able to purchase more advanced options for the Goblins from the fortress as stated by OP here >>5124667

However we might very well be able to transform those higher Level creatures with more extreme enviorments

>>5127424
Yes, but having the gobs in the room while it's expanding might evolve them too.

>>5127427
interesting thought. worth keeping in mind.

i kinda doubt the Blight Bringer would get an upgrade from that but the brute might do.

>>5127479
Or even basic gobbos.
We can then brutalize them.

>>5127514
we should see what kind of Goblins we could recruit once we upgrade the camp. I can imagine Hobgoblins or Bugbears. Smarter and stronger in every way than normal goblins would make a fitting upgrade.

Won't be able to do an update today, I'm sorry.

>>5128185
It's ok. Eager to see it tomorrow, or the day after then

>>5128185
I agree with other anon, hope to have you back soon.

>>5126578
Excellent, the Trap room now has a base 40% chance to kill as opposed to a measly 25%. Overall, a solid investment. The Blight Bringer is an interesting evolution path, if we can upgrade the severity of the poison inflicted it could be a powerhouse of damage as a single point of damage could spell a slow death for any invader.

So depending on if we get attacked or not during the next update our upgrade priority changes.

If we don't get attacked and manage to accumulate another 3 Dungeon Points, I suggest we upgrade the Jungle Room again. I suspect this will evolve the Chamber to it's Level 2 Evolution status, but at the very least it will increase the DC further making it a directly useful upgrade, unlike the Goblin Camp who'll most likely only give us more recruitment options that we can't make us of due to having 0 Monster Points. In the future we should keep the Blight Bringer in the Jungle as we expand it as it could evolve it further, but shuffle out the Brute out so it can be evolved into something different in the future.

If we do get attacked, and we manage to beat a few or all of the invaders, priority shifts to expanding the Goblin Camp before we spend any earned Monster Points. Higher Tier Camp = Higher Tier Gobbos, and with Monster Points to spend becomes the priority upgrade as we can flesh out our minions with some mid tier gobbos.

>>5128630
I'm not sure to agree with you.
I'd like to have gobbs in the gobblin camp when we expand it. Maybe it will unlock new units this way.

The Dungeon glanced over the new variant, “It seems messed up.”
The Blight Bringer was twitchy, constantly eyeing its surroundings, it also ate anything that seemed remotely edible. Including plants, bugs, and frogs.
A combination of its diet clung to the creature’s claws and teeth, coating them in a rancid, green substance.

“Dying by poison must be quite painful,“ the Dungeon pondered, enjoying the thought.
”I wonder what the day will bring…” continued the dungeon, eager to unleash this creature on the next intruder.

I'm weary of people, especially multiple of them. Could lead to us attracting more attention, which we should avoid this early.
The old man seems like something of a mystery box, I would rather have something concrete.
3 rats is probably at least 3 guaranteed MP, and not too much risk. And even if we fail, they might fuck off like last time.

>>5128984
> 1 - A set of three [Giant rats] pop up

Lets see if can murder them. They should still count as hostiles and will hopefully give Monster Points so we can expand.

People at this point will only be trouble

And old people.... well he might be a Demon or something like a god. Seriously old people are way to dangerous especially if they do not seem scared. They are either way more powerful or insane. Both are not good options for our Goblins

Ratticus the rat had to admit that it was feeling uncertain, though it tried not to show it.
Barely a few days ago, as far as rats had a concept of time, it had been in this very same chamber, but it had been different.
For one, there had not been a jungle. Rather, there had been a single small creature that it had easily overpowered.
Ratticus had spent the last few days hyping up his friends to check out this new room and maybe start a nest here.
He had even brought this female rat he fancied, the one that squeaked with a lisp on account of a chipped tooth.
Adorable.

He felt like squeaking a word of warning, but he knew he couldn’t do it when he saw the sparkles in the female rat’s eyes.
She seemed so beautiful, so content. Lost in wonder.
Walking around in this colourful paradise, scratching at the ground, and sniffing flowers.
Ratticus then watched as his prospective partner grew purple in the face and promptly fell over.

[Hostile creature 'Giant Rat' takes one (1) point of damage from [Jungle trap]]
[The health of hostile creature 'Giant Rat' has reached zero (0).]
[Hostile creature 'Giant Rat' has gone unconscious.]
[Hostile creature 'Giant Rat' has been defeated.]
[The dungeon will now absorb hostile creature 'Giant Rat']

A soul-wrenching squeak echoed through the cavern.
Startled, the other rat that had accompanied Ratticus looked over – a blunder.
In what was barely a second, a large centipede dashed in and wrapped itself around the distracted rat.
There was a great amount of noise as they struggled.

Ratticus ran deeper into the chamber as he tried to save his friend, dodging underneath plants and jumping over creatures.

[Hostile creature ‘Giant Rat (Ratticus)' rolled 18 + 2 (1d20 + 2) against the [Jungle Trap]’s DC8 save]

But he was too late, the trashing halted when the centipede injected the creature with a powerful venom, causing the rat to go limp.

[Hostile creature 'Giant Rat' takes one (1) point of damage from [Jungle trap]]
[The health of hostile creature 'Giant Rat' has reached zero (0).]
[Hostile creature 'Giant Rat' has gone unconscious.]
[Hostile creature 'Giant Rat' has been defeated.]
[The dungeon will now absorb hostile creature 'Giant Rat']

The centipede released its grasp on the rat, content to let the dungeon absorb it.
A wave of killing intent swept over the centipede, causing it so shiver.
Its gaze looked towards the origin and it saw a [Giant Rat] approaching. Menacingly.
Skittering across the jungle floor, the centipede disappeared into a set of bushes.

The beady little eyes of Ratticus narrowed, adamant to give chase.
But a shadow loomed over our vengeful warrior, a goblin.
The rat squeaked in a way that mimicked a chuckle, looking towards the goblin with a signature look of superiority.
More footsteps, these coming from behind.
Ratticus knew itself to be surrounded and was no longer laughing.

i really like the little touch with the rat seemingly nervous.

and good Characterization for our good boy Ratticus.

Maybe we can break him to become part of our team!

Well, the goblin is gonna have his revenge, I suppose.
RIP Ratticus, Near Slayer of Dungeons

>>5129076
Support. Let's break him and transform him into dungeon boss dexterity save throw.

>>5129080
we can attempt that if he survives the Goblins revenge.... i have a feeling they will rip him limb from limb. especially the one he killed some time Ago. damn we really need to name these guys i cant keep track if the new one or the first guy got transformed.

I don't like the idea of recruiting Ratticus if it is possible. I doubt he would be very loyal to us after we killed his friend and prospective partner.

>>5129082
In my headcanon, Boblin, the original one, got 2 promotions while <Unnammed> had only one. Maybe something to do with pocket frogs.

>>5129083
we can of course throw him out again after branding him so that maybe he will return to try and take vengance until we can create equipment to Mind Break him into loving us.

>>5129087
I want to do that.
Brand of feral pack revenge to keep him coming again and again with a pack for some of that free MP.

Sadly, Ratticus never stood a chance.
Launching himself at one goblin would cause the other to easily tear open his back.
Although the rat was clearly faster, the difference was evened out by the fact that there were two of them.
He tried running, but somehow there was always a goblin waiting. Cackling.
Anger coursed through Ratticus’s body – it was being toyed with.

If death was all but certain, he would go down fighting.
He clamped his fangs down on a goblin’s leg, causing it to shriek.

Balling up its hand into a fist, the goblin slammed down on Ratticus’s back.
The impact knocked the wind out of him, it caused him to gasp out in pain, loosening his bite on the leg.

The goblin then used that same leg to kick Ratticus away, causing him to roll across the ground.
Knowing the follow-up was coming, the rat pulled itself together, recovered, and jumped away.
Trying to put some distance between himself and his enemies.

Coming in low,a set of poisonous claws raked themselves over Ratticus’s soft belly, causing him to squeak out in pain.
He hit the ground hard, bouncing slightly.
Dazed, it pried open a single eye.

In the distance, the female rat’s body was being sucked into the dungeon floor. Consumed by it.
Same went for his rat friend, slightly twitching as the venom destroyed his body, he watched it being drawn into the earth.
He felt the jungle floor underneath him part, getting ready to devour him.
Filled with regret, Ratticus’s vision went dark.

>>5129126
WHOOOOOO! Well to bad for Ratticus... How much was it for the Branding Room 5 Points? And we can get two points for consuming one creature was it?

>>5129130
>keep his prospective Mate in captivity for now. There is a plan for her.
>Consume Ratticus Friend to gain 2 [Monster Points]
>Release Ratticus himself and hurt him for the way out. Also taunt him that we still have his possible mate

Then we can build up the Goblin Camp i would say and keep the two Goblins there to see if something happens otherwise we check out the new Spawn Options we get.

>>5129130
>2 - Consume hostile creature 'Giant Rat' and gain 2 [Dungeon Points]
>2 - Consume hostile creature 'Giant Rat' and gain 2 [Dungeon Points]
>4 - Keep hostile creature 'Giant Rat (Ratticus)' in captivity
Perhaps we can brand Ratticus later. I'm also fine with consuming him for points, but rats seem like weak creatures anyways, perhaps we can farm a bunch of them trying to come again for revenge. Either way, we already have decent MP now, so our limiting factor now is that we need more rooms, especially tantalizing now that we have new room options.

>>5129130
Btw QM, is there a way for us to remove the corruption we are afflicted with, or are we stuck with it?

>>5129130
>DP: 3
>MP: 3

With three rats in Limbo, we have 6 potential extra points to spend on upgrading the Dungeon or spawning more minions. While the idea of branding Raticus sounds novel, it would be an expensive venture right now and would lock us out of upgrading the Goblin Camp this turn as we'd need to consume one Rat for 2 Dungeon Points to build the Branding Chamber.

Overall I feel this is the optimal choice:
>Consume all hostile Creatures for 6 [Monster Points]

With the 3 Dungeon Points, we can upgrade the Goblin Camp and hopefully start spawning a more diverse cast of minions. We have a total of 5 rooms if we expand the Goblin Camp (four if you discount the Core Room) allowing for a total of 15 (12) minions we can have on the field at once. We need to start making use of the increased minion capacity to make the Core safer.

>>5129131
>Release Ratticus himself and hurt him for the way out.
No. Releasing prisoners without torturing them incurs an unknown penalty on us, it should be avoided at all cost.

>>5129141
well that is why i wanted to hurt him on the way out let the goblins have some fun in lieu off us having a torture Chamber.

>>5129130
Changing my vote from >>5129131
to support >>5129133
this is okay as well. Allows us to upgrade the Goblin Camp and probably the Jungle. Make it really deadly. it seems to be probably the best weapon we have right now. Granted we did not see what exactly the Goblins could do but the Jungle still is our first line of defense.

And we can still get an advanced monster.

>>5129130
Consume them all so we can both upgrade the goblin camp and get the branding room

>>5129130

[The Dungeon has survived 3 invasions.]
[New room options have been added.]


[Boss room (Basic)] - Type: Enchantment (5 DP)
Prerequisite: Must be placed directly beside a [Core room] or [Floor entrance], one (1) monster

The final bastion of defence. The [Boss Room] houses a singular creature, that it empowers.
Filled with ambient enchantment magic, a monster that is assigned to this chamber will swell in size and increase in power.

Curse Mark of Superiority - Enchantment
- Creature’s health increases by 2
- Creature’s saving throw DC increases by 2
- Creature will undergo a random mutation, increasing in tier

Only one creature can receive this enchantment at a time.

====

[Floor] - Type: Infrastructure (15 DP)

A new floor will be created directly underneath the current one.
Two additional rooms will spawn, one on each floor, both featuring a staircase.
Monsters cannot be assigned to this chamber.

Information
- Only one type of creature can exist per floor

====

Existing floor options

[Marshland] - Type: Trap (3 DP)
This chamber is filled with unsteady ground that will eagerly suck at your feet, but in a non-fetish kind of way.
Adventurers will find themselves rooted in place and, as they struggle, drawn into its murky depths

DC: 5 Strength saving throw for every entity that enters the room

[Pit room] - Type: Trap (3 DP)
This chamber is dotted with pit traps, causing a 10 foot drop.
No spikes at the bottom of these, however. Those cost extra.

DC: 5 Wisdom saving throw for every entity that enters the room

[Jungle room] - Type: Trap (3 DP)
This chamber is filled with an extremely out of place, exotic jungle filled with poisonous plants and bugs.

DC: 5 Constitution saving throw for every entity that enters the room

[Branding chamber] - Room (5 DP)
The walls of this torture chamber are lined with chains and shackles, where prisoners can be kept.
The centre is dominated by a large, round forge. A branding iron sits within the forge, sporting an ever-changing brand.
By using this item, the Dungeon can mark a prisoner with a randomized or known brand.
Brands are a form of [Curse Mark] and can be removed with powerful cleansing magic.
An individual can have multiple brands.

Examples
Brand of Suffering The target will take double damage from failed saving throws
Brand of Lost Light The target will go blind. Automatically failing all sight based saving throws.

>>5129180
Forgot bolding on boss room and floor room

Let me know if revealing these two new rooms changes anything about the choices made above.
If not, I'll go with the answers given thus far in about an hour or so.

>>5129182
we can still make another Room for the Goblins?

And how many Points do we have now. It was not stated though i believe right now we should have 3 Monster and 7 Dungeon Points

(i still want to expand the jungle or the Goblin Room. However since we can just wait a day to get one more Dungeon Point we could then create a Boss room)

>>5129182
also if it could be done it would be nice to have like a document or something where all the options we have unlocked so far are written down.

Maybe something like a Document on a cloud or something people could look at

>>5129187
Honestly I think the Boss room takes priority. The buff is huge, I think it's worth getting as soon as possible.

>>5129182
my vote remains the same

>>5129202
>Honestly I think the Boss room takes priority
Agreed. Consuming two rats will put us at 7 DP, if we then wait one day we have enough to build the Boss Room and Expand the Goblin Camp. We can then compare the Brute and the Blight Bringer to the T2 minions we can spawn from the camp and decide which one would benefit the most from being slotted in the Boss Room.

>>5129180
>Create another Goblin Campt o the right of the current Goblin Camp to see if it evolves.
>Tomorrow we can upgrade the Boss Room. We don't need to put the Boss Enchantment on a creature right away from what it reads
>Keep the Goblin Brute in the Goblin Camp to see if it gains something from being there when the room shifts.

>>5129208
>>5129180
>Right now we have 3 MP and 3 DP.
I would go with.
>Create 2 gobs.
>Put the brute and the 2 gobs in the camp
>Expand the camp.
With some luck, we'll get mutations.
Then, absorb the random rat and the female for DP, and tomorrow we'll have enough for putting a boss room. We will enboss the most powered gob, although I think it's best to keep the gob-cong in jungle to get most of the poison efficiency.

>>5129218
Supporting this, if our brute can mutate again, then tomorrow we can throw him in the boss room and make him even stronger

>>5129218
Preferably we wouldn't spend any MP on shitty gobbos. We had both Brutes in the Jungle but only one evolved, worse case scenario we blow 2 MP on goblins who won't evolve at all and who will be underwhelming when it comes to their ability to defend the Dungeon. Better to put the Brute in the Camp, expand it and then afterwards decide how to spend our MP.

>>5129218
look Base Gobbos are SHITE. While Mutation is an interesting idea. I would rather take the more stable Variant of the Guaranteed better units from the upgraded camp for a higher price than being stuck with Goblins that might just die without gaining anything and will require further MP to become useful.

>>5129247
>>5129244
Maybe we can compromise and spend only 1 MP on randogobo? I feel "better" units will be more expensive, so let's use that as a mechanics experimentation thing.

>>5129253
i could compromise on that. better than just spending all our points without knowing what is behind the next door we are about to open up.

>>5129180
Ammending my vote from >>5129213
to
>Create 1 Goblin from the Camp
>Put the brute and leave the gob in the camp
>Expand the camp. and see what happens if anything.

We're not even voting on buying monsters or rooms yet guys, the vote is still for what to do with the captured rats. The room descriptions were information for how we might want to adjust our votes since we just unlocked them.

>>5129260
And if worst happened, remember that all dungeons starts with the room featuring a single gob.
>>5129262
Now, the question is... Does keeping in captivity grant option to absorb later?
>Consume RatMcRandom
>Hold captive Ratticus and Ratticrush.

>>5129264
I would imagine so, but I don't think we want to consume Ratticus at least. We want him to seek vengeance, and throw more rats at us that can't open doors. I personally don't see the point in sparing Ratticrush, eating her gets us MP and makes Ratticus angrier.

>>5129264
nah i would only keep Ratticus alive and absorb the rest. We can probably use that Boss Room for when that half Ord Girl returns. It would be a delightful show to see her struggle against the Goblin Boss.

We can taunt and torture Ratticus later to gain some delightful Agonies from him and the chance he might return with more Rats that we can massacre.


And regarding if we have to start anew.... Lets just say next time i would vote for slimes. Melting the enemy is delightful as well and at least i can not be disappointed with the stupidity of a Slime.

>>5129182
also no nothing would change about me wanting to absorb both of the Rats for Dungeon Points and only keep Ratticus in captivity for now.

>>5129130
I vote consume all 3 rats for 6MP

>>5129269
we can also just make the next floor the slime floor

>>5129264
In any case, if we consume 1 Rat it's for MP. If 2, for MP and DP.

>>5129273
Well if you want us to create the Bossroom on the next day we will need to consume two Rats for Dungeon Points. If we need new MP quick we can just eat Ratticus.

>>5129272
also a possibillity though it will probably still take a while until a new Level will be achieved. It is expensive and does not offer too much utility right now. If we spread too thin we will get rolled up very fast.

>>5129276
Yeah, just planning ahead is all. We should definitely fill out this floor first.

>>5129271
Changing my vote to consume 1 rat for DP, 2 for MP

Build Bossroom
Upgrade Goblins

Alright, voting closed.
Let me try to piece this together.

>>5129354

So, right now you guys have:
3 DP
3 MP

Voted to consume 3 rats: 3
>>5129141 (6 MP)
>>5129153 (Not mentioned)
>>5129309 (2 DP, 4 MP)


Voted to consume 2 rats (Spare Ratticus): 2
>>5129133 (4 DP)
>>5129147 (4 DP)

So it's basically all over the place.
To keep things going, I'm basically just gonna go with the only vote that actually got more than 1 vote
Which is consume 2 for 4 DP.

So, after consuming all the rats aside from Ratticus, you now have:
7 DP
3 MP

>>5129421

I saw you guys had some discussions earlier, but I need it to be clear now.

We're gonna start with dungeon points (DP)

What are you buying?
Please support votes as much as possible.

>>5129425
[Boss room (Basic)] - Type: Enchantment (5 DP)

Boss the largest increase in power we can get. If we want to wait a day to get something, it should be one of the other rooms.

>>5129425
This day >>5129253
and me wanted to buy on additional Goblin and have the Brute and the new Goblin in the next part and hope for a Promotion

>One Goblin Camp probably either to the right or north of the current goblin Camp
>next day a Boss Room since we will have 5 DP then.

I for one want to put the strongest Creature we possibly can into the Bossroom and i would like to know what we can get from the Goblin Camp for the future. And we can wait one day for the Bossroom.

>>5129425
Damn, we won't be able to buy 1 gobbo to put in the camp first?

>Spend 1 MP for one basic gobbo
>Upgrade gobbo camp with all troups in

Boss room can wait tomorrow

>>5129425
yeah pretty much support for >>5129432


please ignore this Vote OP >>5129430

>>5129432
The MP and DP buys will happen in the most optimal order, I just don't want discussion and votes on these to be mixed.

>>5129432
