My name is Mary.

I now own a dungeon.

Not by choice, mind you. I was forced into this when the previous owner placed a curse on me after I tried to audit him. Now I'm the ruler of this place until my asshole of a boss decides to send someone to free me from the curse.

So, anywhere between a month and forever.

But I'm trying to make the most of it while I'm here.

It's tiring, though. And I am literally up to my neck in slime.

The dungeon itself is really starting to pick up. The reviews coming in have been good and we've pretty much doubled it's size.

The only thing that's an issue right now is we now have a proper final boss but nowhere to put it in. So, we'll have to save up to get a final boss room and in the meantime put Curi in the dance room still. We have a token system set up now but no shop.

God.
I never wanted a manager position.

I'm glad to be my own boss and all but...
Managing all this... It's tiring. I'm tired.

"Excuse me, Boss?" The Demonologist appears with a clipboard. "I was wondering if you had some time to go over potential earnings for the next quarter."

bleeeeeeeeh.....
>>
>>326363
You've only got a month to turn a profit! Besides, don't you like any of the slimes or the staff members?
>>
>>326363
>bleeeeeeeeh.....
Why don't you go have a nap with a few comfy slimes?
>>
>>326363
No, you don't.

It's been nonstop work since you got here. You need a break or you're going to snap! It's time for rest and relaxation! (You'd take a vacation, but you can't leave).
>>
>>326358
Wasn't there a carpenter option to half room costs available? Or was I mistaken.

Glad that we're back though. Have so many ideas to improve the dungeon right now. But will wait and see first.
>>
>>326363
We could probably earn twice of whatever that'll be if we simply turned this into a whorehouse.
>>
>>326363
Mary, have we gotten the photoshoot for the Demonologist Dakimakura done yet?
If not, tell Demonologist she has to finish that first before we can go over potential earnings.
>>
>>326363
As an aside, could we make a "Dark Link" type slime that copies the abilities of the enemy party?
I have such fond memories of the Water temple from Ocarina of Time.
>>
>>326363
Treasure Room+Fancy+Wood for token shop room?
>>
>>326363
Ask her how we have profit predictions of the next quarter. You've only had like 6 people in your dungeon. that's not enough to estimate trends.

Plus it's only been a few days, what sort of quarters are we working on here?
>>
Once we get an Oil rune, one more Fancy rune and two more Water runes, let's put a water and a fancy in Lily, and make a massage oil slime with oil, water, and fancy.
>>
>>326363
We need monsters to do this stuff for us. Delegation is the key to good management. You don't need to know/do crap. You just need to know who in your company knows what and BAM the company runs itself for the most part.
I still want to do something with Cloth or Metal or Mind...
Also I can't do fish facts here. Should I do something else?
>>
>>326363
Ohhhh Demonologist. I always have time for you. You're just the best. Lay it on me, salami.
>>
>>326388
Slime facts?

"But now it's a 4-2 ballgame in favor of Brooklyn. But the Giants have the tying run at second base, and Thompson is to hit next."

"Bobby Thompson, up there swinging."

"Branca throws! There's a long drive! It's gonna be, I believe! ... The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant! Bobby Thomson hits into the lower deck of the left-field stands! The Giants win the pennant and they're going crazy! They're going crazy!

I don't believe it! I don't believe it! I do not believe it! Bobby Thomson hit a line drive into the lower deck of the left-field stands and this blame place is going crazy! The Giants! Horace Stoneham has got a winner! The Giants won it by a score of 5 to 4, and they're picking Bobby Thomson up, and carrying him off the field!

Mary, henceforth all meetings will be held in the spa room. What I'm saying is, build a spa room.
>>
>>326385
water+oil+comfy for massage oil slime.

Although while a theme is nice and all, we could use more variety once in a while. Let's see what mind+explode makes.
>>
>>326363
How's my favorite dungeon overlord? Besides tired, I mean.

Cuddle the slime girl behind you, she looks worried about you. And think about making the staff some recreational facilities. This includes you; you look burned out, woman!
>>
>>326402
No. Plant Cleric shall be the only non-slime in our dungeon.
>>
>>326419
You say that while we have ice elementals since the start.
>>
>>326419
Nah. We need more non-slimes. We need to branch out.
For one, slime weaknesses are well known.
For two, it's boring.
>>
>>326400
>>326363

Send out librarian to get a pillow and some more of that oil (40 gold). Turn that into comfy, fancy, oil slime, maybe with a wood rune if we can manage, and then build yourself a spa. Come on, you deserve it.
>>
>>326410
Yeah, she always looks so glum. Seems like a critical headpat deficiency.
>>
>>326419
And the mimic.
>>
>>326419
We also have an ice elemental and a mimic, anon.
>>
>>326428
They can go and stay go.

We need fist runes for mimic-chan, like all of the fist runes.
>>
>>326395
What am I supposed to do? There's only so much one can say about slimes.
>>
>>326434
Nay, we need comfy runes in our mimic! Trap them with the comfy!
>>
>>326434
The most punchy of mimics. One Punch Mimic!
>>
>>326441
Just make Comfy-chan the second and stick her in the Mimic.
>>
>>326434
>>326441
Are we still going to try and summon an Avatar/Aspect of Lady Sluttony? Because I think we need one.

Also, Lolidragon.
>>
We have fist runes?

I mean, they exist at least, right? We could make a fist slime?
>>
>>326452
What, she pilots it from the inside like a mecha? And grabs people when they first open it?
>>
>>326454
We totally should. She'd enjoy the slimes.
>>
>>326363
Considering the hair over one eye, is that slime Curi?
Wow, we're making the queen slime worry enough to look not queenly at all.
>>
>>326441
>>326434
I have an idea for a Mimic miniboss
Basically, it's some sort of metallic slime that looks like a little mountain of gold
If we're still going with the Royal theme I think it would fit, maybe the guardian of the Treasure Room?
>>
>>326470
It's the oil slime
>>
>>326470
might be mini-curi
>>
>>326457
No, more like she has a symbiotic relationship with him, by making the mimic's victim's more lethargic when he shoves them in his mouth.
>>
>>326475
Well shit, I actually really like that idea.
Maybe make it an optional boss, in a room immediately following a boss, on a side path? So it's more likely to trick people and all.

Also have a chest mimic right in front of the hoard so people don't realize the hoard itself IS a slime mimicking a hoard

Fixed. See? This is what happens when you're too tired.

>>326372
They're comfy at first but then I wake up feeling all slimey. A temporary comfy, at best.

>>326368
Oh, no. They're all great. It's just... I can kinda understand why my boss is the way he is? It's either be nonchalant or just die from the pressure.

>>326374
I do need a rest or something.

>>326377
...

>>326378
I am still really on the fence about that kinda thing.

>>326379
I'm not sure I understand what you're referring to.

>>326383
"What's the length of our quarters?"

"Well, it's broken up into two for the year."

"It's been 4 days."

"Yes but I feel that-"

"I appreciate your enthusiasm. Truly, I do. But, I am exceedingly tired. So... If we could just... Hold off on this for now."

"Of course, understood."

>>326385
I thought we agreed to keep lily pure for those fancy runes? We'll have to make another slime for that.

>>326388
True. But right now it's on me.

>>326400
>>326410
>>326424
... A spa, huh? Yeah. I could go for something like that. And we wanted that later on, huh? Hmm... If we buy an empty room and infuse it with some runes...
Yeah, I think we can-

"Hey, Boss." The Dungeoneer walks up to Mary and places a hand on her shoulder.

"Dungeoneer?"

"Couldn't help but notice you're looking absolutely beat."

"Yeah. I'm a bit tired."

"Yeah, running a dungeon can do that. You know, you can delegate your abilities to others. Like if you wanna leave someone in charge of building, or making minions, or making demons, or working with the runes. You know, stuff like that. Take some of the tension off of you."
>>
>>326490
Plot twist:
Whole treasure room is full of mimics
>>
>>326490
Since theres no gold rune, maybe a slime that looks like gems would be better.
Some kind of Shiny Slime?
>>
>>326494
Give demo control over minion and demon management for now while you take a nap in the unholy nap room.
>>
>>326494
Let Librarian take care of the runes for now, less work for you!
>>
>>326494
If you give her control of minion creation she is totally going to go overboard with it. Probably not a good idea.

Mary, nothing too lewd. Not asking anyone to go full spread. But like, maybe Demonologist with her sweatshirt zipper down and showing some skin.
It'll make the adventurers crazy. They'll want it! and then we make it harder to get, so they'll want it more because it'll be a status symbol. Trust me, adventurers like collecting things like that. The only thing they'd like more are vanity pets that do absolutely nothing but follow them and look cute and riding mounts.
They will literally do anything, pay anything, for a rare riding mount.

Also, how did Lily enjoy her quest with THE LEAGUE OF LILY~ to save the multiverse? Did she have fun?
>>
>>326504
Transmute metal rune, combine with slime?
>>
>>326494
>I thought we agreed to keep lily pure for those fancy runes? We'll have to make another slime for that.
Sorry, I didn't say it right. Basically, improve Lily with a water and a fancy, and make a brand new slime for the oil, water, and fancy.
>>
>>326494
>I'm not sure I understand what you're referring to.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZe0r1rHg4Y
You know, dark link. Seems appropriate
>>
>>326494
Can we give Oily another Oil rune so she's less gloomy? Right now she's the only sad looking slime on the roster!
>>
>>326494
Look, I know I just said that but dun fall for it!
>>
>>326358
So did we actually find a Metal and Sword rune somewhere or is that an oversight? Cause I thought we burned all of those on Slime Knight.

If we do have them though let's make some basic slimes off of them and give Slime Knight some squires.

>>326494
If it makes it easier on you go for it. I'm sure they know what they're doing.
>>
>>326522
How about headpats? Nothing wrong with headpats.
>>
>>326542
That too! Give headpats to all the slimes!
>>
>>326494

Does the chef make better food for the same price? Or does he just have the ability to make more expensive food?

As for the room, I guess fancy, comfy?
>>
>>326494
I sense danger. Don't put anyone in charge of spending money or runes, only the gathering of them.
>>
>>326494
Well, I don't see why we can't have some help in working with runes or helping generate items. Especially if we're going to be getting involved with a shop.

That said, so long as we're allowed to make final calls, especially for big things like bosses, mini bosses, etc. I don't see why we couldn't ease the burden off our shoulders a little.
>>
>>326548
Except for Curie.

Curie headpats US.
>>
>>326566
We should put Lily in charge of spending money and runes.
>>
>>326566
We just have to give them the restriction of not using runes on their own that we haven't gotten to self-replenish yet.
Gold, yes. We're in control of that.

Just had a thought. Did we get the same Builder as mr Bones did? Considering the dorf asked where "my pillars" are, and was generally quite fowl. Or is that just stuff shared between all of them?

Posting layout suggestion again, since it's a not-finished thread now.
>>
>>326638
I'd back this layout
Plus, that explodey/treasure room off to the right could be changed into another miniboss room. Maybe that treasure hoard mimic slime that anons thought up earlier?
>>
>>326522
Oil and water don't mix. She's an abomination. Cute tho!
>>
>>326653
This is a good point. Oil is its own liquid, and we'd probably get another type of slime from oil by itself.
We should do that.

>>326647
We need more filler rooms before we add yet another boss.
We have two out of nine as actual mini/boss fights, and three of nine with mini/boss monsters.
Then we have Cleric who's effectively a hidden boss themself, even if mechanically not.

"Alright, sure. But, if it would be anything too strong or a rune we haven't gotten to self replenish yet then you can't mess with it."

...
Yeah, this just makes me sad.

I could add another oil rune.

Unless you guys have a better idea?
>>
>>326703
Quickly add an oil rune before she falls apart!
>>
>>326703
Probably another slime rune? More slime to hold the oil. Since oil doesn't stick together that well compared to slime.
>>
>>326703
Please add another oil rune, don't let that thing fall apart.
>>
>>326703
>>326703
Add another oil rune!
Also 1 fancy rune to give her some self-confidence
>>
>>326703
Do we have soap rune? It could help her bind well.
>>
>>326703
Its existence is an abomination, like Oil and Water!

But seriously, help the poor thing, its not like we Need oil runes anyways.
>>
>>326703
Add a fire rune. She will explode in happiness.
>>
>>326703
If she falls apart... with she split into a pure water and a pure oil slime?
Or will she disintegrate?
We should talk to Dungeoneer.

>>326716
Water and oil are about equal at surface tension, and oil is better at adhesion than water.
>>
>>326703
Put another oil in her, then spend some time with her to make her feel better.
>>
>>326703
If we had a comfy rune, add that to make it a massage oil slime.
>>

You know, you CAN get oil and water to mix, you just need to, y'know, shake it up a bit like vinegarettes.

Or add an emulsifier. Dunno which rune would do that though
>>326720
Fancy would! Fancy runes hold things together, totally
>>
>>326726
What we really need is some sort of emulsifier for her. Maybe we could ask the chef for some raw eggs?
>>
>>326746
So Egg runes, then?

BRILLIANT!
>>
>>326741 >>326746
Monstergirls, even slimes, are more complex than basic liquids.

We should ask for Dungeoneer's advice first, considering this is her expertise in a very literal way.
>>
>>326494

Forget the thing in the basement. We know the REAL monster here.
>>
>>326753
Or a Soap rune.
>>
>>326757
>Slimes
>Complex
Just grab some eggs from the kitchen, and throw them at her. What's the worst that could happen?
>>
>>326703
I think the problem is oil and water don't mix. If we want to generate oil runes we'll want to make a pure oil slime probably. Try that before adding more oil to her. Honestly if you want to stabilize an oil-water creature you'll want to add something like... cloth.
>>
>>326703

Feed her dish soap for right now. It stabilizes the equilibrium between oil and water. I still don't know why you made her oil and water rather than just oil. Oil would probably still make a slime.
>>
>>326638
This may be a good future layout right now, if we used Curi in that boss room later, seal off the bonus boss, it could naturally lead into future expansions.

For now, I'm fine with it as is.

I'm more interested in improving things like the Lily puzzle and expanding on the catapult puzzle for when we have more than one adventurer.

Lily Puzzle should be that food idea that was talked about last thread, where the adventurer has to offer up 3 pieces of food from a table of 6-12. Seems like a cheap puzzle to maintain when we get more profitable.

>Mary calls the Dungeoneer over and asks her her advice on what to add to the Oil Slime.

"Oh, yeah." The Dungeoneer says, "She's not too happy. Slimes keep themselves together by force of will. When they're one or two runes it already takes a lot of their mental power. That's why they get smarter the more runes they get. But because she's from two clashing runes it's just... Alright, so for the next oil creature I would use pure oil. Now, for her... Adding more runes should help. I wouldn't add another oil rune since without a water base she won't be a slime anymore. We could add a water rune to make her more solid.

We could also go with fancy runes. An extra rune will make it so she has to devote less power to keeping whole.

Could also go with comfy.

Maybe even Comfy, Water, Fancy. That could make a very nice smelling and fancy oil slime. Extra water to keep them together, too.

In the future I would watch out when you mix runes that are normally considered opposite. Like, don't mix fire and wood."
>>
>>326703
If we have a fire rune, we could turn it into napalm slime.
>>
>>326703
Maybe add a Comfy rune to ease her eternal torment?
Wait, but then we'd have less Oil runes. All options are lose/lose.

Oooh, added cast members. We need to get on updating that.

After all, we want this dungeon to be known far and wide as having the fullest chests.
>>
>>326826
Are we really doing it?
ADD A COMFY, WATER AND FANCY RUNE!
>>
>>326826
I'd normally say Comfy, but we need a comfy elemental to mass produce comfy runes. So for now I'm leaning towards another water rune.
>>
>>326826
No comfy. We have enough comfy already.
>>
>>326826
Add comfy, water and fancy to it. Check results.
>>
Note that adding three runes would make her a Boss Monster.
Two would make her a mini-boss monster.
>>
>>326826

Eh. Sure, Comfy, Water, Fancy. We need a masseuse
>>
>>326826
Comfy + Water
Shoot for that massage slime
>>
>>326826
Oh right, masseuse slime. Fancy, Water, and comfy, then. ...wait wouldn't that be another 5 rune monster? Eh I'm sure it'll be fine.

Sure, Comfy, Water, Fancy her up!

We can make her our new masseuse for the spa!
>>
>>326826
Lets just go with a water rune for now. And see where that leads us.
>>
I wonder, do we have a way to spread rumors about the dungeon? Maybe with secret hidden messages in remote corners of the dungeon?

We should totally spread a rumor about a secret lewd slime room.
>>
>>326905
We could add a mystery third lever to the Lily Lever Lounge. No one's ever seen her pull it, so no one knows what it does.
It probably doesn't do anything.
>>
>>326905
Just leave tons of rumors on how to get weird stuff
>If you jump in the comfy slime pit, and swim down, you can get to the comfy level!
>If you befriend the Cleric plant in the center room, you can enter the secret room full of lily slimes!
>If you kill the slime knight without attacking the lily slime, you can swear loyalty to her and get unique Slime Knight armor!
>If you solve the lily lever puzzle in a certain way, she pulls a third lever, granting you access to the lewd lily room!
>>
>>326826
Why not all of them?
>>
>>326938
We should totally make a secret room you know.
Right on one of the walls in the comfy slime pit.

Inside there is a door that's locked and doesn't really lead anywhere yet, but it looks really fancy.
>>
the spa will be up or down for the cleric plant room, will be a door that leads to the spa proper with a booth outside selling merch. get a bloops plushie that burbles when you hug it.

So I forget, is it possible to make monsters with more than 5 runes? Or am I thinking of what happened with the Lily Knight fusion?
>>
>>326961
I'd always back a random door that literally leads nowhere. Adventurers would go insane trying to open it.

Put one in the lily lever room, make the door using 3 Fancy runes, and a mimic rune or however it is we make them

Yeah... I don't know... We'll see.

"Alright, Dungeoneer, let's try the Water Comfy, and Fancy."

>The Dungeoneer looks very excited and picks up Oil Slime to put her in the fusion pot. She grabs the runes needed and begins fusing them together, making the once weak Oil Slime a powerful 5 Rune beast.

>There is a flash of light and a bang.

>A new Boss Level Monster is here.

>She is... The Spa Slime.

Yeeee boy

I don't like the sound of that 1/2
>>
>>326990
She's going to need a name. I propose Oilivia.

She can be the head attendant of the spa, with a horde of other helpful slimes as her underlings/additional treatments. Mud Bath Slime, Masseuse Slime, Seaweed Wrap Slime, etc.

And if anything, that would help us out if we get another Bulk Wizard v Plant Cleric situation.
>>
>>326990
Tug on her towel
>>
>>326990
Can we please stop making boss monsters we don't have boss rooms for?
>>
>>326990
Ask her if she feels better now.

We are a caring overlord.
>>
>>327015
Apparently not, for some forsaken reason.
>>
>>327015
Never!

We can still use them at reduced strength.

It looks like we've got the same Builder. Everyone is the same so far.

>>326638
I really really really like who this looks. The layout is so much more dynamic.

"How are you feeling..." >>327010 "Oilivia?"

"Much better now. My every waking moment is a struggle to remain a part of this world. I feel like I can finally breathe."

"... That's good!"

I feel really bad about that.

"Alright," Mary says, "You're gonna be running the spa. But first-"

>Mary goes to find the Builder. She asks him if he can make a Spa that connects upstairs from the Cleric Plant room.

>He says he can do it for 50 Gold and some runes. Mary has to wait a bit for them to generate but she has the resources for it.

I wanted to rest but it seems like I have to work to rest first, huh?

Alright, so I think I'll have him rearrange the rooms like so and add the Spa Room for Oilivia. How does this look, guys?
>>
>>327045
Looks good! Finalize it and we can wait for our next Hero!
>>
>>327045
Make an oil based monster to make more oil runes before we forget and use them all! I don't know how many times Oilivia split before we fixed her.
>>
>>327045
So the super boss is locked behind 4 lever doors?
>>
>>327044
D'awww, cute!
>>
>>327045
Rest is best directly after working hard!
But yeah, everything checks out, I say good to go!
>>
>>327045
Yes, finalize, see what the next adventurers do, then get some much deserved rest.
>>
>>327045
Make sure to put in signs so that people know what each room is about.
>>
>>327045
Perfect. We may need to add spa themed monsters, like poolside slimes and floating slimes.
>>
>>327045
We should add the shop to the spa as a large wishing fountain. Then we can have our rune slimes run it and it will take care of the slime playroom dilemma.
>>
>>327045
We also need to add loot here and there since that's been the primary complaint from the adventurers.
>>
>>327065
That was my idea, and one of those levers has to be pulled by Lily.

I still suggest we need a better way to present the key to the adventures in her room.
Currently it's not even specified how the key is given. They just... get it.
>>
>>327082
We need loot to give loot. And loot requires money and/or dead adventurers.
>>
>>327083
I assumed it was dropped down like the explodeys.
>>
>>327045
That seems fair for now, we should look to expanding the spa room and making it more grandiose and populated over time. But for now, I can live with it. The store will have to be added in there eventually.

Also, seeing as Oilivia is planned to be a non combatant. For her services, 50g sound reasonable?

Also, we need to figure out about that Lily puzzle. Don't we want to do something about that?

>>327075
Agreed, "The Royal Spa" seems like what we should call Oilivia's room.

And we should still make a note that the boss room is an optional room. Maybe Plant Cleric could help.

>>327079
And the slimes I suggested >>327010 in the future. Got to get that gold generation up.

>>327082
Maybe we can get someone like Librarian to help us procure some simple items? Otherwise, we got to hope that we mulch the adventurers.
>>
>>327090
It's never been stated, and that's a pretty anticlimactic way after doing the impossible, anyway.
>>
>>327082
>>327087
Well, we have a bunch of extra Runes. We can experiment by adding together a bunch of those to make items. and if we get anythign real good we can just give them to slimes.
No matter how badly I want to make more Slime knights, So we can have the Knights of the Slime Table
>>
>>327106
Speaking of, If we added a Explode rune to Ruth's bat, would it become a Home Run Bat?
>>
>>327116
I like the way you think
>>
>>327116
First thing, though, is to give her a water rune upgrade for being such a trooper.
>>
>>327101
The lily puzzle is fine for now. She acted within acceptable parameters last time. We'll talk to her if it gets out of hand.

Just make sure there is a sign to tell the adventurers need to do.
>>
>>327116
>>327130
Most definitely. The heroes are only going to get stronger and stronger, we need to upgrade our arsenal.
>>
>>327133
yeah, instructions can only help. Its not the kind of thing you'd get just from context.
>>
>>327152
>>327133
...What does Lily slime actually like anyway? Money apparently doesnt help.
>>
>>327139
I feel we have a decent arsenal already; we just don't actually know how useful it is since not even half of our monsters have even fought.

Personally as a filler room I'd like to have a fight room against a party of our 2-rune slimes with the slimes rotated out so we can see what each of them can do.
>>
>>327130
But then we'd have to pull her out of the Little Leagues. Is she ready for the Big Leagues yet?

Alright, money spent and dungeon finalized. Keys to unlock the tougher enemies, levers for the final boss.

Royal Spa is done. Oilivia will be charging G50 for her services right now.

I.... Am going to be enjoying Oilivia's services right now.

So, I'm going to hand over the reigns to someone else in my crew.

Who do you think is a good pick?
>>
>>327156
She's prideful. She'd probably do it if the adventurers stroke her ego or beg or something.
>>
>>327162
Put Curi in charge.
>>
>>327162
Librarian, or Curi
>>
>>327162
Demonologist. She seems the most logical and thoughtful with regards to what we have in mind for this dungeon.
>>
>>327162
Demonlogist. She's invested in having things running properly and she's responsible. Maybe the Librarian as a second option.

Oh, I guess Curi could work too.
>>
>>327162
Demonologist or Curi
>>
>>327162
Demonologist. She's the oldest one.
>>
>>327157
I already suggested a gauntlet room, but no one seemed interested.
>>
>>327162
Curi has innate leadership. And giant tits. Pick Curi.
>>
>>327162
Librarian
>>
>>327162
I'd say Demonologist with Curi's assistance, though Curi would be inside, making it hard to watch everything.
Haha, my edit's become the map!
>>
>>327180
A Gauntlet arena was one of the original ideas, I believe. We just kind of put it on the back burner because we need to be able to make not-square rooms first.
>>
>>327162
Librarytits
>>
>>327162
Demonologist is best choice. Lily is real best choice.
>>
>>327162
Lily
>>
>>327162
Could Oilivia split off copies of herself?

Could we invite other employees for a relaxation day?
>>
>>327162
>>327171
I'll switch to Lily. She's the real boss around here anyways.
>>
>>327162
Curi. We still need to get Demonologists measurements for the daikamura.
>>
>>327162
Demonologist.

>>327198
If Demo is in charge, we can annoy her directly until she does it.
>>
>>327189
Well, we could do it another way besides the circular area. We just make a long corridor style room, and add partitions to seperate it into sections with levers, like the Lily copy room. we put a few slimes in each section, and the adventures can either go for the lever and risk being overwhelmed by the slime crowd, or fight each group in turn, section by section.
>>
>>327201
I still love the fact that we're just a disembodied group of voices going around throwing ideas at anyone who's head we can get inside.
I still have to wonder if Mr. Bones had us to boss him around. Are we the sign of dungeon ownership?
>>
>>327201
But if she's in the spa with us, we can simply get Oilivia to measure her while she massages Demono.

Also, maybe we should start giving the unit workers names, instead of calling them by their jobs...
>>
>>327211
Their jobs are their official names, though. Giving everyone names is still a nice idea, however.
>>
>>327211
They've literally said the titles are their names.
We could give them regular names anyway though, which would be amusing to watch their reactions.
>>
>>327162
Yeah Demonologist seems like a good pick.

>>327180
I was under the impression the gauntlet plan was more for later on once we had a bunch of strong monsters to make it a viable challenge.

What I was thinking was just a basic filler room; a handful of slimes at once working together to fight off heroes. Only with the roster being changed up each time so we can see what each can do.

"Yes, boss?"

"Hey, I'm gonna go rest. You're in charge of the dungeon while I'm gone."

===Admin duties temporarily passed on===

"!!!!!! M-m-m-me!?"

"Yeah. You know how it's done, right? I trust you."

"You... You really trust me..?"

"Mhmm. If something crazy happens come get me, okay?"

"You really trust me...."

"I'll be in the spa."

So while this is happening, time to bring up an old discussion from session 2.

Curi's items for when she's an actual boss. I love talking fluff for them, and maybe Mary can chime in with her thoughts.

Slime Sword - Same damage as a normal sword, but has the ability to pass through anyone trying to parry the blow or block it with a shield

Slime Crown - Secretes a slows stream of slime on the wearer upon putting it on. +3 Int, +5 Cha when dealing with all slime creatures, -1 Cha when dealing with all, %10 Fire Resistance.

Slime Swimsuit - +1 Defense, -25 Modesty, +25 'Assets' conforms to the owner's gender/bodytype

Mini Slime Core - Non-combat pet, that only requires a cup/bucket of liquid per day if brought into SlimeCrown Citadel, spawns a rare monster of some kind/causes bosses and enemies to drop more tokens

>>327211
I'm all for giving every cast member a name over time. Had some thought up for our various slimes and monsters, but we'll wait and see what happens.

>>327223
Here's hoping for a party. More fun that way.
>>
>>327223
Dawwww! You're so cute! Don't worry Demonologist, you've got this, if there's anyone in this dungeon who can take care of things besides Mary, it would be you!
>>
>>327223
Absolutely adorable. Also, Hiya boss!
>>
>>327223
DemoBridgette, make yourself a slime Rena.
>>
>>327223
Clearly the best way to impress Mary is to get started on that daki idea she kept mentioning. Something about pillows with a picture of you on them, that adventurers can get with loadsa tokens. You should do that.

And then the adventuring party arrives just as the camera finishes taking the picture and she has to rush off to go do dungeon lord things
>>
>>327223
Demologist! We need you to do us a favor. You gotta go pose kinda sexy for a prize for the dungeon. Just like zip down your sweater, show some skin and that's it.

We had some ideas draw up somewhere, but it's the best idea.
>>
>>327218
see compromise suggestion here: >>327208
>>
>>327223
Something crazy happened! Mary made you the admin, go get Mary!
>>
>>327210
I'm fairly sure we're the crown. Only the person who's wearing us can hear us it seems.
>>
>>327242
It's fine, Dungeon Masters can do that. Mr. Bones did that to Mary, which is why she's stuck here.
...
did we just break the curse entirely on accident?
>>
>>327248
I'm perfectly fine with us being a crown. It's only fitting.
>>
>>327250
No, Mary is still stuck here. Mr. Bones never forced Mary to be the dungeon master, he just forced her to stay in the dungeon and she was the only one qualified as a non-temp DM.
>>
>>327250
Only if Mary realizes.
>>
>>327256
Oh yeah, seems like you're right. He put one of those 100-year curses on us, seems like.

Ah!
Uhm!

A-A p-pillow pose?
Y-yeah! I can do that! Sure!

But uhm... Let's focus on the dungeon, huh? We can't let the Boss down. Not on my very first time in charge.

>A group of Heroes is entering the dungeon, setting off The Demonologist's alarm.
>She pulls up the screen and watches as two of them make their way inside.

"Niiiice. I'm really diggin' the blue thing." The Girl says.

"Hmph. It is okay. But do not let your guard down, Golem. None have gone through this dungeon and survived. If the rumors are true a great beast awaits us at the end of this." The man says.

"Relax, Sorcerer. There's no one more suited to this dungeon than us. We can do this." The Golem replies.

>At that moment Ms. Bloops pops out of the fountain.

"Awwww~ So cute~ Sorcerer, look at this cutie."

>He's already walking away.

"Hmph. Don't mind him. He's always like this. Seeya, cutie slime."

2/3
>>
>>327281
oooh, this duo is going to be great already.
>>
>>327223
>>327230
We should take advantage of this to generate some items that Mary can equip, in case she needs to interact with adventurers again.

This would accomplish three things:
>Protect Mary from adventurers who turn nasty (remember how nervous she got about that before?). She's still kind of reluctant about turning herself into a demon for some reason, so boosting her stats through equipment is the best option.
>Serve as an advertisement for rare items that adventurers can find in the dungeon.
>Boost Mary's confidence and help her get into the role a bit more. It's a lot easier to make dramatic Dungeon Master speeches when you're wearing a cloak and giant shoulder pads. We want her to be the best Dungeon Master she can be, right?

I'm sure Mary would be happy if we did that for her.
>>
>>327281
I like these guys. Although, if the implications here are that Golemgirl is a construct of the Sorcerer, or is being controlled by him, our Ice Golem might not be much of a challenge for this pair.
>>
>>327281
>Ms. Bloops has a hat.
Demo! This is Alert Level 5! Ms. Bloops has a hat! She's not suppose to have a hat!
>>
>>327281
Is that fire on his cape? Is he the Dark Flame Master?
>>
Ms. Boops continues to be the greatest asset of this dungeon. Our cuteness factor would be way down without her.
>>
>>327313
False alarm, Anon. That's just the sorcerer walking away, positioned in a way that looks remarkably hat-like.
>>
>>327301
I agree, though I doubt she'll want to wear the Slime Crown if it does what I suggest it does...

>>327305
Yeah, we've been unlucky with those golems, every single one has been stuck with a hard counter. Only the thief really struggled. Either we have to up the difficulty, the mud slimes have to pull their weight, or we just have to hope for more bladed adventurers.
>>
>>327337
Why would she ever replace us? We're the best crown.
>>
>>327343
Double the crowns, double the power, obviously. Besides, she wore the crown with Psionic's hat on too.
>>
Oh shit. We forgot to put the closed sign on the spa.
>>
>>327352
So? I kinda want the adventurers to meet mary and just not even realise she's the dungeon master
>>
>>327352
Eh, plant can tell them not to cause a fuss if they want to use it.
>>
>>327350
Yeah, do like the ancient Egyptians do. Double crown.
>>
>>327352
Oh noes, what will happen to Mary~?
>>
>>327305
>>327337
I still support adding a Mind rune to the Ice Elemental so that it can levitate chunks of ice at people.

Speaking of which... Demonologist, are you capable of adding runes to yourself to enhance your power?

>The pair make it to the next room.

This one I always liked. Let's see how they finish it.

>The Sorcerer examines the room for a moment.

"I see. We have to leap across using that rope. I imagine the rope is trapped in some way..."

"Can you carry me across?" The Golem asks.

"No. I have to do it first normally. Who knows what kind of trap can be on it."

"C'mon~"

"No. Wait here."

>The Sorcerer leaps across, gripping the rope tightly. He easily crosses over and lands on the catapult.

"Now you try." He says.

>The Golem nods and makes the same leap. But when she grabs the rope she simply slides off of it and lands with an unusually loud thump into the slime pool. Immediately the comfy slimes begin their work and envelop her.

"I told you you should have carried me..."

"You'll be fine."

"Yeah, I know."

>She whispers something in a soft voice. Her hat closes it's eye and begins singing. Almost instantly the Comfy Slimes stop trying to drag her in and freeze in place.

>Her hat, which upon closer inspection seems to be some kind of slime, continues it's song. The comfy slimes gather beneath the Golem and begin lifting her up and out of the pool and back to the platform.

"Told you you would be fine." The Sorcerer says.

>The Golem smiles at him. She knows that the reason he didn't help her was because he was confident in her abilities.

>Her hat continues it's song. Even the Cloth Slime seems paralyzed.

Oh man...
Is this good?
I don't know...

Should I change anything in the next room?
>>
>>327355
Now I kinda want to see Sorcerer enter and just sort of attempt to James Bond his way into trying to massage Mary, with her no selling it the whole way through.
>>
>>327367
OUR DUNGEON IS GETTING CHEESED! Put Cleric Plant in attack mode and end our turn.
>>
>>327367
He has HAX!
>>
>>327367
>Magic Slime controlling hat
>Wearing it to the Slimetown Citadel

That's some metagaming bullshit right there.
>>
>>327367
Double check to make sure Lily's glass room is sound proof.

The mother of slimes should be immune to lesser slimes and should be ok.
>>
>>327367
don't change a thing We will have to wait and see what happens.
>>
>>327367
>Should I change anything in the next room?
We need a music slime to counter her hat! Quickly mix 1 water and 1 fancy rune to get one!
>>
>>327377
no, cleric plant is always nice. all that will happen with this is they breeze through the slimes and then get ganked by the grue.
>>
>>327367
Try and get our slimes to seduce/absorb/steal her hat. It's probably single use or has a cooldown anyways

Also, don't tell cleric plant to attack, let's not switch up the next room
>>
>>327367
If they enter the spa we should ask Mary to audit that hat. Our whatever the stealing spell was.
>>
>>327367
Well, have plant tell them that if they're just here for the optional boss, it's not a slime so that definitely not going to work.

Otherwise let them do what they want. If they want to cheese the place then they can cheese the place.
>>
>>327387
water and fancy makes lily slimes! we need a music rune!
>>
>>327367
Well that's not exactly fair now is it?

Lets continue as normal though, lets see how they progress through the other rooms. With that said, we'll need to see about taking out the golem, or at least, absorbing the item. If it gets really bad, call Mary.
>>
The song won't have any effect on the puzzles, hopefully, we've still got the ice elementals, but it might make the Lily/slime knight fight too easy. Instruct Lily she's to show she's a better singer than a hat. If she makes enough of a racket that should counter it.
>>
>>327367
Oh boy, we've got a slime charmer on our hands. Have Cleric Plant inform them that the bounty they seek can be found by clearing the dungeon and returning to the center room. No need to go into attack mode unless he decided to get violent with CP.
I'm interested to see how this run plays out.
>>
>>327367
Other anons are right. If they want to ruin the challenge of a slime dungeon, that's their choice.
They'll get ganked at the end regardless.
>>
>>327387
That'll just make another Lily Slime.
>>
>>327410
Depends on intent, anon.
That's how we have ice elementals.
>>
>>327408
It's not as if there are only slimes in here.
There are also
>>
>>327367
Make sure Curi doesn't have access to the key until they win the dance contest so that they actually have to do the dancing rather than mind controlling her into handing it over.
>>
>>327418
I sincerly doubt whatever Golems doing is going to be enough to subdue Queen Curi.
>>
>>327416
There is also the ice elemental and the big guy and we might be able to remote detonate explodies to make everyone unable to hear the song, kind of like flashbang.
>>
>>327418
good idea. they have to win the contests to get things.
>>
>>327367
Also, they don't get a token for not attacking Ms. Boops. They aren't attacking any of the slimes so it isn't anything special.
>>
This could be a nice chance to show what happens when you cheese.

Which is, going straight to the TRUE final boss.
>>
>>327454
Miss Psion got a token because if Ms Bloops got beat, she'd have been -gone-.
Presumably the setup has taken her enjoyment of the fountain into account now.
>>
>>327460
We still want them to complete the dungeon so they can give it a fair review. There is no VIP access here.
>>
>>327469
Hopefully so. It'd be a shame if adventures did kill her on sight, though; I'd hate for her to not consider the fountain a safe place.
On the other hand, the Fountain Room and the Rope Room are unintentionally superb, because they immediately tell us their mentalities on monster slaying and puzzle solving. Accidental genius.
>>
>>327367

In order:
> Cleric bro doesn't fight unless people are dicks
> Curi's danceoff remains as is
> Lily's bitchoff remains as is (but Explodey may need a few extra dupes)
> The ice room really should be reconfigured into a bowl at some point, but if you want to challenge them on a ramp, have the ice elemental bring up a wall of ice and pack the back of it with mud slime copies. He leaves murder holes and chucks ice through their as they approach, until they get half way and then he releases the barricade and drops an avalanche on them.

It... It's not. It's just meant to protect her. But since hearing stuff is part of the challenge...

Oh man.

This can't happen on my very first run...

>The pair enter the next room and encounter the Cleric Plant. The Plant is kind enough to them and kindly explains that if they manage to complete all of the dungeon save for the final boss they are free to leave. The last one is just for those who truly wish to test their mettle.

>The pair explain that they came here FOR the last one.

>The Cleric Plant nods and guides them to the two rooms where Lily and Curi wait.

>The pair go to Lily's room.

>The Lily Copy sits there, looking as smug as ever. But, she hears the siren song of The Golem's hat. It compels her to solve the puzzle for them and she does so. They obtain a key and unlock a portion of the final boss.

"Too easy~" The Golem says

>They go to the next room and read the sign explaining the dancing game.

"As if I would ever do that," The Sorcerer says.

"I think it'd be fun."

>They enter the room.
>Lights turn on revealing Curi, the Mother of Slimes. She rises from her throne and spreads her arms in a welcoming gesture.

"Greetings," She says, "and welcome to So You Think You Can Slime!"

"I got this." The Golem says as her hat begins to sing.

>Curi does not appear to be affected.

"... Uhm... Sorc, we got a problem here..."

Ha! I knew Curi would be immune!

Alright, what should I have her do?

Okay, calm down Dee, you can do this... Just...

I'll just leave things as they are for right now. We'll see how it goes.

>>327879
ENGAGE THEM IN DANCE
Their cheese shall be shredded!
>>
>>327879
Why don't we have Lily sing more louder and elegant than the slime hat?
>>
>>327879
Engage them in dance. If they refuse, demand the golems hat as tribute.

Also, mary gave permission to use runes to make stuff. Use Fancy+Water to make a bard slime to counter the siren slime song
>>
>>327879
I take it back, this guy has no class. Who wouldn't want to dance with their cute golem girl companion. He doesn't even deserve to meet Jeffrey.
>>
>>327879
Do we really need to make them have a dance off they came to get murdered by the thing downstairs. We should speed them along so we can get the cool hat.
>>
>>327901
With the way he's been cheesing the dungeon, we should make him do ever single step of it. Twice possibly. Just to tick him off.
>>
>>327907
But what about our star rating? We should try and give our customers what they want. Oh and kill them to take their stuff.
>>
>>327901
Patience. If they don't complete the rest of the dungeon, they probably won't leave a review. By which I mean the Golem won't leave a review, because Sorc seems dickish enough to make her do it for him. She likes the slimes though, so she'll leave a nice review.
Also it means Sorc doesn't win, and I don't know about you guys, but I don't want him to win.
>>
>>327879
Ask the hat to provide some background singing for the dancing.
>>
>>327879
Curi, have the hat slime start singing to the beat of the music.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bk3sLHZzZRI

"C'mon, Sorc! You gotta play the game!"

"No."

"Dance with me~"

"I refuse. Just use your hat and end this."

O-oh... He's really not doing it...

Have we ever had that happen?
What should we do?

Kick them out. Of the room, if you want.

Have Curi tell them that you need both people participating to proceed.

Ask if there's a style of dance he prefers.

Don't force him. They don't play, they don't win.
>>
>>327945
Don't worry, it's perfectly fine. Let the Golem dance and receive her key. If he won't have fun, then let the one who's actually making an effort enjoy her time here. With any luck, she'll get tired of his crap and he'll have to finish the dungeon without the cheesy Slime Siren hat.
>>
>>327945
didn't we set up a boss room for curi behind the ballroom, or was that on the to do list?
>>
>>327945

This dungeon is a trial of many sorts. If you can't overcome a little embarrassment, how can you possibly overcome the final boss?
>>
>>327945
Well, dance with golem. Then when the song ends, only give them half the key. The bit that you hold in your hand. Tell them that teamwork is more important then pride when adventuring, and that all adult relationships require some give and take, meaning doing things that someone doesn't want to do because it makes their partner happy.
>>
>>327967
That's the Dace Boss room, where the boogiest of adventurers can dance against Curi for super bonus tokens. We have yet to build a fighting boss room, however.
>>
>>327965
>>327974
>>327945
I'll back only giving half the key for half the effort
>>
>>327967
Still on to-do list.
>>
>>327945
Call them uncultured swines
>>
>>327945
Have curi say "Oh dear, I'm afraid the young lady's cute headwear won't get you through EVERY puzzle. You may have to...bend a little on this one if you want to get what you came here for."
>>
Hey, general question.
Are adventurers aware that dungeons are run by a full staff?
I get the impression that they think that it's just the Dungeon Master who runs things.
Does this even matter?
>>
>>327977
I totally support half a key as well. If he wants to fight Jeffrey, he can Work, Work, Work for it.
>>
>>327981
Also, This
>>
>>327977
How do you even give half a key?!
Also don't they have a key already? Why would they want another?
>>
>>327992
Because you need all four keys to fight the thing in the basement.
>>
>>327992
To get to both the ice golem and the Slime Knight/Lily boss room. Need both rooms for two of the levers.
>>
>>327992
1. FUCKING MAGIC, ANON
2. Because you need all 4 to get to the final final boss, which they want to fight

Oh shit, idea! Explain that youll allow them to have only the golem perform the dance competition.

But they have to give up a piece of collateral until theyre done with the whole dungeon: the hatslime

>>327945
Change the music to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhMt92h7_Wo and change the dance to Conga line dancing.
Have Curi create extra slimes form several conga lines that compose of mudslimes and explodey slimes. Have one of the conga line form around Golem (holding her hostage by having her sandwiched between 2 explodey slimes in the conga line, have them explode if Sorcerer refuses to cooperate).
>>327977
I'll back this, but give half the key to golem and have Curi engulf Sorcerer while telling them they won't get the second half of the key and advance until everyone has danced at least once OR they pass but Golem has to give up her hat in exchange.
>>328026
You know that got me thinking, Mary has that Audit spell right? We could try to set up a "magical trap" system in the challenge rooms. Anytime an adventurer wants to skip a challenge, they'll trigger the trap and the room they're in will cast the Audit spell prioritizing most valuable weapon/armor piece in exchange for spawning the key (or key parts if they're part of a party). That way even if they somehow manage to clear the dungeon (minus Jeffrey the thing in the basement), we can still get revenue from visiting adventurers.

It's also thematic in a way. Since slimes are known to absorb/eat anything they come across, so why not have the dungeon "absorb/eat" the equipment of adventurers as they traverse the dungeon?
>>
>>327945
Just let Golem do the dancing. It's totally fair for them to get the key if one of them completes the challenge. There's no rule that says all of them have to do it; lots of dungeons have challenges that require different party members to use different skills. There's no need to be a poor sport about it.
>>
>>327879
Have Curi call the sorcerer a coward for not even trying. What, can he not dance? How pathetic.
>>
>>328327
Except we've made it a point each time to have the whole party have to dance when there's multiple people. Hell, when dance puzzle was introduced one of the leading ideas behind it was slimes slowly ramping up until the ending is a multiple-person dance that adventurers at least have to attempt. Plus, sorceror is being a bad sport.
>>
>>328334
But Curi is such a sweetie.
>>
>>328336
Well, we could just make it clear that the sorcerer has dance as well by adding another slime and making it a two person dance.
>>
Welcome back to the "I am not on fire" club Larro. You should probably make your avatar on twitter a little singed as a joke!
>>
>>327945
No dance, no key. Have Curi tell them that if they want to fight her instead, they can try for the key that way. We'll get to see how Curi performs in boss mode!
>>
>>328580
>boss mode
>boss creature
>not in a boss room

"Rating: [/*****]
The boss wasn't in a boss room. The dungeon master is a fat lazy sack of shit with no life and no prospects of romance. Avoid this dungeon at all costs."
>>
>>328580
well she wont be at her best as its not a boss room, we should if we can have Curi's and the spa be considered boss rooms even if normally they dont have fighting in them incase someone like that muscle mage comes in
>>
>>327352
>>327355
>>327364
Just have Demonologist run down to the spa in disguise and claim SHE is the Dungeon Master (which is technically accurate). And, uh, Mary's face is covered by mud and cucumbers so they can't tell what she looks like.
>>
Could have the bands of slime pull him into a dance. If he's a total hardass and attacks instead then I imagine we can give Curi free range to have her way with them.
>>
>>327945
Have Curi shoot at the sorcerer every time he misses a step.
Classic mechanic. You can either tank the damage or do the puzzle.

Of course the Golem will take no damage due to actually doing the dance
>>
We should actually make Ms. Bloops a hat at the end of this run too. We could use her to preview shop merch.
>>
>>328602
Alternatively if he doesn't want to do it, he can always do a trial by combat.
>>
You know what would be neat? If the ice elemental's room also contained basic slimes frozen into statues scattered about. Not enough to badly restrict movement, but just enough to be an annoyance for melee adventurers.

The twist: some of the slimes have tokens, and once the elemental is defeated, any intact slimes thaw and offer their tokens as a reward. Slimes that got shattered instead flee through discrete grates built in the floor under each one, taking the token with them.
So you could just clear out the Slime statues to make the elemental fight easier, but if you defend the slimes instead you get a bonus.

Double twist: using fire attacks on the elemental also thaws the slimes, but they ditch their tokens through the grate and become hostile. Otherwise fire attacks would make the fight too easy.
>>
>>328625
I actually really like that...though, you'd have to make sure there weren't TOO many tokens in there, since they're supposed to take you quite a few runs to get enough for anything decent.
>>
>>327945
No dance, no key. Complement the Golem for her sportsgolemship.

"That hat isn't gonna save you from everything in here. You should learn to adapt a bit. Have some fun!"

We can probably expect a low review here from Sorc because he's a no-fun tryhard.
>>
>>328635
That's the trick of it. On your first run, you don't know the slimes have tokens in the first place, so you wouldn't have any reason to go out of your way to keep them intact. Over the regular course of the fight, the elemental will probably break most of them itself. You'd only learn about it at the end if a token slime survived. And of course, tons of people would immediately use fire which would forfeit all the tokens.
It's basically NG+ challenge mode for that fight.

I guess it'd be a good idea to shuffle which slimes have tokens after each fight, though, otherwise people would optimize.
>>
>>328649
Or we could say the current tokens are "Big Tokens" and introduce "Small Tokens" with 1/10th the value. That way they could all have Small Tokens.
>>
>>328644
I'm still riding on the assumption that he can't even be asked to write a review because it's beneath him. If we're getting a review from this pair, it's going to be written by the Golem, who seems to like the dungeon a lot so far. I bet the only reason she even uses the hat is because he tells her to.
>>
>>328685
I hope RSK stomps him in a surprise upset so he keeps on coming back to prove himself.
>>
>>327352
>>328028
Have Demonologist run to the entrance of the spa room and setup that closed/under-construction sign.
>>
>>328727
Hopefully. But if clone Lily is susceptible to the hat, I dunno if they won't just force Lily to tell RSK to stand down.
>>
>>328737
Maybe we should upgrade her quickly, before they arrive?

Either that or just have her go immediately into Lily Slime Knight mode, but I feel that's a little cheap.
>>
>>328644
Sorc comes across as a speed/cheese runner to me. Like the type of player who would use cheese strats and complain about the "boring" parts in a review. while inflating his own dick on how easy the thing is. He probably sees the entire dungeon (minus Jeffrey) as annoying more than else.
>>
I wonder how we could defend against this slime control. We could create a new enemy of human type called a "Slime Master". It would heal, buff and summon minion slimes. It would also be able to dispel the mind controll

It's basically like the bell enemy from Blood borne.
>>
>>328752
>we should upgrade her quickly
No, dungeon rules forbid you from cheesing the explorers like that, it's something Sorc would do in our shoes.
>>
>>328763
>Slime Master
May be too similar to Curi's role. Slime Cleric?
>>
>>328763
whynotmakeitaslime.jpg
>>
>>328416
And give sorc an out for being un-cooperative? Hell no.

Lets make it clear that all who enter the room/wishes to try the challenge must dance to at least one song.
>>
>>328770
To make it immune to slime control.

>>328769
That also work.
>>
>>328777
We could just make it a big slime, though? Besides, I don't think many people are going to be such dirty cheaters.
>>
>>328808
Well, it's not 'cheating'. It's just being cheap.
>>
>>328607
>>328602
>>328600
This reminds me of the King Conga boss fight in Crypt of the Necrodancer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQQN9Sc7mfE.
Such a fun game, we could incorporate some parts of the mechanics into Curi's dance trial.
>>
>>328763
What about the Psion Slime?

You'd think that would be immune.
>>
Well, seeing as the Golem finished the trial, it wouldn't be fair to her to be dragged down for the sorcerer's actions, but we also cannot allow the sorcerer to use the Golem to get out of the dungeon activities. Hmm, what if we split their party? Allow the golem to leave, but the door slams shut before the sorcerer can follow?
>>
>>328853
that could work. Can we put some Psion slimes in the Ice Elemental room and have them assist by psionically throw large chunks of ice at the party. I feel like one of our week points would be the Ice elemental room since most of the adventurers that entered the room have pretty much cheesed it (execpt for Psion, she's best adventurer)
>>
>>328865
I like this. This will also enforce the idea that all who enter must dance to at least 1 song to complete the challenge.
>>
>>328877
I'm ok with dumping our psion slimes into the ice elemental room.
>>
>>328865
Sure, that works. Maybe have her try out the spa for free if Sorcerer goes for fighting Curi.
>>
>>328895
for free? NO. We must make revenue! How about a 50% off discount for being a good sport? We can also use this opportunity to steal the slime siren hat while she's enjoying Olivia's services and make her think she misplaced it.
>>
How about we let them pass with only the Golem doing it, but for the token the sorcerer has to dance? Make him debate whether his dignity is more important than treasure or not.
>>
>>328909
Fifty percent off is fine, but I'm worried that the Sorcerer won't let her have any spending money, the miserable prick. However we CANNOT let her hat go missing. We don't want it to seem like our staff steals people's stuff; they'd raise a stink and tell people not to come!
>>
>>328980
at least, until they die, and we get all their stuff
>>
>>328980
Agreed. Theft by magic and player death is fair game, theft by us actively stealing her stuff, no dice.
>>
>>328994
True enough. Looting the dead is fair game, stealing from the living or those with a semblance of living is wrong.

That's what the Audit and Bankruptcy spells are for.
>>
>>328994
You know, I've always been really unclear on this. So, when the heroes die, do they respawn, or have we murdered them and they're leaving their review from the perma-death after life?

If they do respawn, do they respawn naked, or is it like our dungeon monsters where they regenerate their stuff.

They seem way to casual about coming here and dying for it to be permadeath, and honestly I doubt they'd be that good of a sport even if they do respawn but lose all their gear. But maybe I'm crazy.

So, basically, what are the mechanics of our dungeon and how it interacts with the world and adventurers at large?
>>
>>329020
I can't tell you all the details. Because I don't know.

However, it is confirmed that adventuers respawn. Warrior showed up again in our second party. I would assume there is magical insurance for items that could he bought.
>>
>>329011
>>328994
Use Audit on golem to steal the siren hat. Mary's class is an Auditor afterall.
>>
>>329029
>Warrior showed up again in our second party. I would assume there is magical insurance for items that could he bought.
My best guess is that they respawn with a few less items and gold and a sore ass.
>>
>>329035
I don't think she can use it unless she's in battle, and she's taking a break. And besides which, stealing stuff from customers is bad business, which Mary knows, being a small business owner and working for them.
>>
>>329062
Don't wanna see them cheese the Knight fight though. It should be easy enough to return it to them after the fight, right?
>>
>>329070
I HAVE THE ANSWER!!!

Boss battle music! Really loud boss battle music! It makes it feel epic, and will hopefully drown out the sound of that cheesealicious hat.

At the very least they'll have to fight something. And if we can like, immediately put together an actual thought puzzle and throw it down in Lily's room that would be rad.
>>
Implement microtransactions.

If the sorcerer doesn't want to play the minigame, fine. He can buy some "Slimecrown Gems", which can be converted into tokens or used to activate a single lever. 50G/gem or is that too little?
>>
>>329070
I guess the question will be whether RSK will be affected. He is a 4 rune slime. I think we can assume 5 rune slimes are safe thanks to Curi. Oilivia is safe at least, even though shes intended to be a non-combatant.
>>
>>329070
in the future we may want to put in some, idk, thief slimes? Tax collector slimes? They try to jack your shit when you're not paying attention? It gets returned if you kill them, or if you clear a boss room? Something like that?
>>
>>329127
Basically I just want a thematic basis for us to audit people. Right now they'd just be like "... wtf? Why did the DM just jack my shit?"
>>
>>329127
We should get a thief slime so we can send an adventuring party to that other dungeon mentioned in the first thread. Right now we have a warrior (Ruth) and wizard (Magic Slime), but we'll still probably want a non-lily healer for the party.
>>
>>329133
plant cleric can't be the healer?

More importantly, do we have an archive of the previous threads? I clearly missed a lot in the first two or three.
>>
>>329130
see >>328242
make it a magical trap. Have a pile of slimes suddenly drop on them and cast the audit spell while they're engulfed. Isn't it common knowledge that slimes absorb anything they come across?
>>
>>329115
My two ideas are either to have RSK and Lily go into princess knight mode immediately, or to have psion slime keep their hat from singing.
>>
>>329133
also, wait, dungeons can send raiding parties at eachother?
>>
>>329140
We need them in the dungeon for good reviews, and none of the slimes I mentioned are being used right now.
>>
>>329144
I have no clue, but why not try it? Supplement our income, and possibly steal ideas for traps and such.

Allow Golem to dance alone, but with double the time. Lets drag it out till he gets pissed at sanding arround.
Sorcerer will give us a "0/10 Kill yourself DM" ratring no matter that we do. So, lets make him at least realy, realy salty.
>>
>>329130
Could just make it part of a challenge. Steal their gear and distribute it among chests in the next couple of rooms. Then have the next rooms be a stealth section with enemies to avoid in order to reclaim their stuff and clear that part of the dungeon.
>>
>>329142
Get a slime orchestra (sent by Curi) to the RSK room (Ruth will be the conductor, Comfy Slimes as the Choir, String slimes at Strings, Cloth slimes at percussion, Ice Elemental at Brass, Plant slimes at Woodwind).
Have them play bombastic Boss music to drown out the siren song.
Add in some psion slimes to psionically lock down the hat for good measure. Ham up the appearance to convince Sorc and Golem that RSK and Lily Slime Knight IS the final boss.

For the Boss Battle phase, Lets go RSK by itself for phase 1, then phase 2 is Lady and Knight, topped off by Lily Slime Knight for Final phase 3.
>>329167
you beat me to the punch for the song of choice.
>>
>>329198
I can go with that. We can also say that fighting Lily/RSK/Lilyknight is a good barometer to seeing if they are ready to fight Jeffery.
>>
>>329189
I still think he'd never bother himself with the chore; he's just here to fight Jeffrey after all. If we're going to get a review, we're getting one from Best Golem.
>>
>>329198
I think we might be mis-reading this guy. He's not muscle wizard. What if he's looking for an intellectual challenge?

RSK's room, final plan from me:

Move the orchestra there (just three slimes playing boss music super loud). If we can't do music then psion slime to lock down the hat.

Make them have to decide whether to take down psion first, or orchestra first, while fighting boss.

Tell orchestra slimes to go easy on them. It's quite an outnumbered fight, even with the two of them.

Outnumbered by slimes. Slimes are joke monsters.

"We are very much alive still. We just respawn back at our home points. When we do respawn we're down to our skivvies and with a lot less gold. However, if you belong to a guild you have the ability to take copies of your equipment with you into a dungeon. Most of us are in guilds. So, when I lost I just had to hop over to the guild and pick up my real stuff."

This implies that somewhere, somehow, there's a way to duplicate items and equipment. I don't know about you guys, but I think we need to make a super spy slime and pay one of the guilds a visit.

>The dance continues for only a short while longer before Curi ends it. The Golem has been dancing her best while the Sorcerer stands around, looking quite bored.

>When it ends Curi smiles and walks up to the Golem and gives her half of a key.

"Huh? What is this?" She asks.

"Half of the key. Teamwork is more important that pride when adventuring. Remember, all adult relationships require some give and take. Even if you don't like doing something you should still-"

"Black fire."

just as I suspected, Sorc is the speed runner chesse scumbag. But lets wait and see how golem reacts to this.
But just in case, Curi Engulf and gag Sorc.

curi isn't in a boss room so her power level has a limiter on it.

>>329788

It's still enough to give Sorcerer a good beating and make him salty.

Guys, guys, come on. This is a business. Sometimes you have tough customers, it's our job to find a way to make sure this all works.

Play along, figure out what he's here for and let's make sure he has a good time. Right now he's not.

It's only proper that it should have a ruler to lord over it. Kind of like Icecrown Citadel.

>>
>>329802
I think it's high time Ruth gets promoted.

Maybe even give her class levels, too.
>>
>>329804
Still not opening the door for him if he didn't even try.

This is assuming he survives Curi.
>>
>>329804
The problem is that all he cares about is fighting Jeffrey, and he wants to get there as fast as possible. We can't give him any VIP treatment and send him straight in there, because that would be unfair to our other customers. But he's also unwilling to play by the rules and gain keys the way they're meant to be gained, which is either playing the games, or fighting the game hosts.
>>
>>329840
Why shouldn't we? I mean, he's gonna die regardless.

And Jeffrey will be the Slimecrown Citadel's resident "Ancient One" lurking underneath the establishment.

Ruth made Play of the Game

Well he just started a bossfight with Curi soooo... guess he's earned his key.

Yeah if he wins he gets the rest of the key.

If he wins, he's earned it. I still want her to kick his ass in, though.

"Hey," She says, "I'm sorry my friend here blasted your head off. Really. He's a super nice guy but he just gets too into these dungeon runs. You know he's got an office job? It's really boring and tiring. So he likes to use these to blow off steam. I know you guys are trying to make this fun and all, and I really do enjoy it, but if you could just... I don't know, give him a fight? It would really mean a lot to me. Assuming you can hear me, I mean."
>>

sure, if he wins he can have his other half key. if he ded then he ded and only golem can continue.

>>329849
Yep, that's fair.
>>

Bring them to the Royal Slime Knight room then.

Instruct Curi to hand her the other half of the key and point them towards the hub, fights await them on the other side.

Waaaaiiiit. Demo! Open a line to Mary and send her a picture of this office guy.
She might know him!
If she knows him (and doesn't hate him.), redirect him and the Golem to the spa.
>>
>>329857
Curi is a boss mob and as such can't fight outside of a boss room really. But you can give the icebro and RSK fight a go. The grue is after that.

Also [+5 EXP] for Curi.
>>
>>329857
Of course! Customer satisfaction is primary!

If he's out cold, give her the opportunity to drag him out to the cleric and heal him. In the meantime, reorganise the room for a more interesting fight.

He didn't beat Curi though. Why would he get the key?
>>
>>329877

Isn't that the same as just letting him skip the dungeon in the first place? He's not even making an attempt and you people were completely against giving him the VIP treatment not even 15 minutes ago.
>>
>>329857
Well, if this isn't perfect for our first customer to the spa, I don't know what is.

Tell her to take him to the cleric plant to get healed, then go through the OTHER doors to find the fighting areas, with bosses.
Send them to RSK, since that's our main fight here.

Also tell him to thank Golem for being so cool
>>
>>329857
>>329880
we need to Turn Ruth into a baseball slime.
>>
>>329857
Well maybe he'll meet us half-way if we tell him the fights are past the door, then. But still he should at least give it a shot even if the attempt is half-assed.
>>
>>329881
True, we could do both? I don't see why not.
>>
>>329857
Once again, Best Golem saves the day. Give this man a Spa coupon and the other key peice and let him kill everything we have. I'm ok with him fighting Jeffrey if Golem's vouching for him.
>>
>>329885
I wasn't in that conversation. You can check my ID and compare if you want.
A bat to the head (and having to pay the Cleric earned him his half, just 2 more and both are fights.
>>
>>329857
>>329871
Yeah, I'm going to second this. Reorganizing Curi's room wouldn't be too hard, I'd think.
>>
>>329880
Doot doot doot doot
Doot doot doot doot

Dootley doot do dooooo!
>>
>>329857
Sorry for all that. He'll probably want to fight me on his own, though.

Anyway, have a %50 off coupon to the spa, so you can relax while he fights. One for him afterwards, as well.

(awkward silence) So are you two seeing each other? You make a cute couple, you know!
>>
>>329880
What's the total force of a professional batter's swing, would it be enough to crack a skull?
>>
>>329885
Profit before morals, Anon. Also it makes Best Golem happy.
>>
>>329869
Oh shit, yeah, he kinda does!

Sure, give him a spa coupon too.
>>
>>329895
I'll back this. If he wants to come back and fight Curi for the other half of the key, fine.
But don't just hand it to them, make them work for it.

Also, look into selling Gold Member VIP Passes for large amounts of money that let you jump straight to the Boss in the Basement.
>>
>>329857
Okay, well the Batlles come after this/ Just give her the full key I guess. Also, warn her that the bonus boss is more than likely to just murder them before they see it.
>>
>>329857
>>329881


Suggestion: Let's have a big mob fight here, then offer them both a trip to Oilivia before they head to RSK & the basement. Half off because Golem is such a good gal.

If they both still want to charge into the basement after he's had a big fight and a chance to relax, that's chill. If they beat RSK they can come back next week and have a massage. Return customers are key to any successful business!
>>
>>329857
How much of a penalty does Curi take for fighting in a non boss room? If she can't put up a decent fight, just hand over a key point them is the direction of Slime Knight.
>>
>>329907
They still have the slime hat, anon. Lesser slimes are useless. Hat must be collateral. Until end of dungeon
>>
>>329885
We reward politeness. Like when bloops was spared and shit. Golem is being nice, and polite, so why not indulge her?

>>329907
This, Curi's room could be best as an add-based fight since she spawns slimes, but can't fight to her full power in a normal room. SO have the room be remade into a room where they have to fight X amount of slimes to get the key or something. OR just send them to the RSK path so they can go fight a boss DESIGNED to be fought
>>
>>329857

She is a polite, wonderful young lass. Make sure Curie tells her that. Also have her explain that fighting is one possible end to these rooms for hardball customers, but overall, the first few challenges are meant to be fun and rather minimal risk.

Anyway, let her go with the rest of the key. If this was a fight, Ruth would keep beating his head into paste.
>>
>>329900
http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2000/AlbertKlyachko.shtml

I'm not much of a mathematics man, but the average speed of a baseball leaving a bat (provided it's a line drive or a home run) is usually in the area of 100mph.

That would definitely split a skull and crush the brain.

>>
Oh, what a polite golem. Curi, let's you and him fight. Would you like to pop back quickly and use the Cleric Plant?
>>
I dunno about anyone else, but I'm starting to reconsider the orchestra idea.

If he attacks the orchestra like he did Curi, where does that leave us? Bunch of hurt slimes and even /less/ enjoyment from the Sorcerer.

Since we know what we should do, now, perhaps we should send a message to Lily and Knight to combine. We know that higher slimes won't be effected by the hat. If they combine they shouldn't be effected by the hat.
>>
>>329943
I dunno, from the spot on her bat and the way he dropped, I'm assuming she used "McGuire swings for the Bleachers."
>>
>>329953
Slimes being hurt in the dungeon really isn't a big deal. They're fine, remember? And it gives him a challenge. He wants a fight, have him have to blow throw a bunch of weaker slimes and deal with the boss at the same time.
>>
If the sorcerer wants to fight for his half of the key, he can ask to do so, after he goes out to get healed and comes back.
Golem already has her half of the key, so there's no reason for her to fight as well.
>>
>>329968
>>329917

I'd say we invite the golem to treat herself to our spa while he settles up his account for the second half of the key.
>>
>>329974
don't forget to invite Sorcerer! He's stressed out as fuck. Blowing off steam via dungeon grinding doesn't help compared to paying gold for an in-dungeon spa treatment.
>>
>>329953
Yeah, might as well have them combine first, rather then risk Lily being ensorcelled and just giving them the OK.

It's either that, or saying, "Just straight up fight the next guy, alright? That's a combat scenario."
>>
>>329977
I think both is the best way to go. Imagine, long hard day of blowing up slimes, finally burned off some aggression, and now you can sit back and soak in the spa room before you take our complimentary teleport home. When you get murdered by Jeffery.
>>
Ruth's bat should get some runes put into it, and a name

I vote "Situational Awareness"
>>
With regards to Oilivias spa, we gonna make it a kind of SecretBonusRoom with special triggers to access it? Like "must spare ms. Bloops, must complete So You Think You Can Slime without violence, and must successfully satisfy Lilys demands".
>>
>>329986
Slap some stealth runes on the bat. They'll never see it coming.
>>
>>329987
how about just spare ms bloops? If you take on Curie and survive, yeah, you can take an oil bath with her sensual little sister.
>>
>>329686
...motherfucking OBJECTION.

You take a copy if your shit into a dungeon.

When you die, you lose your gear.

Then the gear BECOMES REAL, to be used as loot or broken down?

Mary, why aren't we milking this!?

I'd say more have it up to DM's discretion to open it.

Loot for aspiring adventurers!
>>
>>329987
I assumed the Spa was a separate feature, like restaurants in airports.
>>
>>329987
Probably not. We want people to spend money there, and keeping it hidden just means less people bringing in business and money.
>>
>>330012
yea, but assholes need not apply. That's really the only tag I'd put on it.
>>
>>329997
That would probably count as some magical insurance fraud. I'm sure the premiums those heroes pay to be covered by the guild aren't mild.

On the other hand, those items probably lose value outside the dungeon. We've already established that anything inside the dungeon is a special case of reality where you can even die without real consequence.
>>
>>329987
Novel idea, but I think its more useful for a secret treasure room or something.

>>330012
Basically my sentiments as well. We need to make some cash, best way to do it is keep it open to the public.

>>330010
That is how I am rolling with it.
>>
>>330010
Currently the connection is in the main hub.
>>
>>330000
It could be like an event. Spare ms bloops and she follows you into the main room, and opens up a secret spooky looking entrance that leads to it.
>>
>>329987

We've kind of discussed this. The point of the spa room is in line with the dance room and the Lily a shit room. It's meant to be fun, light-hearted games. It's meant for people who just want to come here and relax.

However, I think it's becoming clear that we need a more formal separation between demographics, a bypass for those who want to take their face to the belt sander immediately.
>>
>>330023
That would also mean getting miss Bloops' aid through part of the dungeon, which some adventurers would probably enjoy, since cute for the cute god.
>>
Why not just have Cleric Plant carry the key for the Spa and you can buy it for some Gold and have a little bit of relaxation.
>>
>>330018
True, but if that's the case, why not slime bouncers, or maybe a survey for why people have visited our dungeon, or an information booth type deal?
>>

Dude. DUDE!

Choose your difficulty!

Casual/fun:
all the rooms are in their current form.

Combat!:
All rooms (including plant cleric) go hostile.

Make Peace with your God:
Curie, RSK, and Lily all waiting in the room right behind plant cleric. If you beat them, proceed directly to Jeffery. All non-combat/empty rooms are locked.
>>
>>330045
I say keep it communal, with visitors having the option to pay extra for a private room.

Ms Bloops is the only 'unused' one that's actually set into the dungeon.

That's... actually a really good idea.

Good thinking, Anon.

actually, put curie in the comfy slime room for MPWYG mode. She holds the far shore and tries to hold the line.

"Of course, we understand. Our ultimate goal is to make sure adventurers have a good time. Here." She hands over the other half of the key. "You'll find a few proper fights waiting for you. Then, of course, there is the final boss."

>>329886
"But," Curi continues, "Before that please go and have him healed by our lovely Cleric Plant. She's quite good at that. She also has a special gift waiting for you."

"Thanks a bunch, you guys are great." The Golem smiles and hefts up the Sorcerer onto her shoulder and takes him into the previous room.

>The Cleric Plant begins his healing on the Sorcerer, charging 50 gold as he does so. He also hands The Golem a coupon for ten gold off of The Royal Spa.

>When The Sorcerer is patched up Golem explains that she was able to win the fight but it was a tough one. She thinks that he should take the next one on his own while she rests.

"I mean... It's not even a slime so I won't be much help."

"Hmph. It's the ice elemental, right? I can handle this."

"Great~ I'll be back in a few."

>She goes off to The Royal Spa.

>The Sorcerer goes into the Ice Elemental room. The air is chilled and the creature waits uphill an icy slope.

"Be ready, monster." He floats in the air, fire emanating from his cloak.

>Before he can charge at it a mud slime grips his foot and holds tight. An Icicle hits him square in the chest, forcing out a grunt of pain. He responds by throwing a barrage of fireballs. Most are blocked by the creature but a few make it through and strike. There's a sizzling sound as chunks of the creatures are melted away.

Hmm...
He might win this.

I could up the number of mud slimes to drag him down to the ground or just leave him as is.

Leave him as is. The RSK will get him afterward.

Leave it as-is, seems like it's already sort of challenging, and I want him to at least get a chance to attempt the RSK fight.

Maybe delay him a little so that golem will be back for that?

>>330048
>Choose your difficulty!

...Yeah, that could work. Have Ms. Bloops signal which setting was chosen, guide them to the appropriate areas, and let the adventurers work it out for themselves!

One thing, though. We should still keep Plant Cleric as a friendly on Combat!, though. Some people still need help without everything killing them.

>>330064
Eh, it's fine if he wins here.
>>
>>330064
Have 'Splodie attack him. The closer she gets, the worse it will be when he sets her on fire
>>
>>330064
Nah, the fight is really supposed to be against the elemental. Considering his attitude, he'll probably give us 0 stars if he loses due mud slimes because "it's unfair". Elemental is challenging enough.
>>
>>330064

Have the mud slimes all avalanche on top of him saying: "Only slimes!" over and over again.

He'll probably still win, but it will be hilarious seeing him covered in mud and freaked the fuck out as Golem-sis comes back from her bath.
>>
>>330064
If ya have to, add one, maybe two more Mudslimes. I don't think it's all that necessary. We're not trying to kill him this early on, yeah?
>>
>>330064
Increase the difficulty a bit. Make it a challenge for him so he has his fun.
>>
>>330082

Yeah, good idea.
>>
>>330064
Drown him in mud slimes
>>
>>330064
No need to up the difficulty. RSK should be right up his alley as long as our countermeasures for the hat slime work. The music should even make him feel like its a really epic battle.
>>
>>329997
We, uh, are?
It's the funding source for our entire operation!

The only thing that confuses me is how any of the gear has monetary value if there's got to be hundreds of copies floating around. Or are adventurers and dungeons a lot rarer than the casual attitude suggests?
>>
>>330083
Cleric Plant's gender changes every time it shows up.
>>
>>330064
Leave him as is, when he goes to fight RSK, he'll be alone since golem went off to the spa. So that means Sorcerer's fighting against RSK/Knight&lady/Lilyslimeknight solo. Which should give him the satisfaction he challenging boss fight needs.
>>
>>330107
But what is their sex?
>>
>>330110
Nunayergoddamn business.
>>
>>330110
The answer is Yes.
>>
>>330048
Can we have a ludicrously long legal disclaimer as well?
>>
>>330110
Based on Cleric Plant's combat form, I'm assuming the one we see normally is a disguise because it's suppose to be nonthreatening and friendly.
It's probably hermaphroditic like all plants.
>>
>>330106
We don't sell them to people. We literally convert the items -into- gold. Same as gaining mana and runes.
The gold we make has value since it's from gaining victory over adventurers.
>>
>>330119
Good point.

Then how does gold have any value, given that the net quantity should be increasing at a rate proportional to the number of adventurer fatalities per unit time?
>>
>>330124
Magic.
>>
>>330124
How does gold in any game have value?

Presumably here, because there's systems in place to make gold disappear into the ether in exchange for services.

>>
>>330124
Probably because some of the gold they lose turns into the item copy?
>>
>>330124
Maybe for higher end dungeons gold loses value and it ends up getting converted into mana more often.
>>
>>330064
Maybe one or two, sneaking up behind him, but try to make sure he has a chance to dodge and fight back.
>>
>>330139
yeah, those magical traps need mana for upkeep.
>>
>>330147
What about cleric plant's upkeep?
>>
>>330124
probably similar to Eve online really.
>>
>>330137
But we're not converting exclusively to gold.
Either the copy->gold conversion rate exceeds the gold->copy rate and net gold is increasing, the gold->copy rate exceeds the copy->gold rate and net gold is decreasing, or some dynamic force is either interfering with the rates or delaying the taking of gold from adventurers until the quantity of gold generated from their equipment becomes known. And delayed gold-taking would be easily noticeable unless all adventurers don't give a fuck about their finances.
>>
>>330124

Dungeon gold economy is typically used on retrofitting the dungeon on the part of the dungeon master and on adventurers paying for upgrades. The adventurer's stimulate the economy with their purchase by employing skilled artisans, not to mention the dungeon with their death, which then proceeds to order large amounts of raw minerals, runes, accessories, etc, etc.

The money stays flowing in the same vein, eventually increasing in the form of magic items and acquired gold, but all of that is then distributed through a wide network of individuals that sustain the flow of trade.

Alternately, DON'T OVERANALYZE THINGS!
>>
>>330154
Psion did say "missing a lot of gold", and also the duplicate system is only for guilds. Presumably high ranking guilds.

So we can assume that part of the gold she lost was to solidify the duplicate.
Or we can wait 'til later and -ask- her.

>>
>>330064
Pile slimes on Sorcerer. All the slimes yell "EVERYONE GET IN HERE PILE ON"
>>
>>330178
>>330192
The answer I think to be most likely is
>some dynamic force is either interfering with the rates

Dungeons converting more swag to gold? The Invisible Hand slashes the conversion rate.
Adventurers dying less and taking home more loot? The Invisible Hand spikes the copy costs.
Etc etc etc.

It'd be fairly simple to prove, all we'd have to have is another adventurer come through with the same gear and process their equipment the same way. If the resultant output is different, we know the rates are dynamic. If not, we haven't disproved dynamic rates.

Both really. Depends on which Final form you want to fight.
>>
>>330429
Give him the slime dick! Hubris will be his ruin!
>>
>>330429
Lily! Drill Sword mode now!
>>
>>330429
man those explosions are annoying... But sadly for him they actually do no damage due to not harming the core.
>>
>>330429
I'm pretty sure Knight Slime can't speak. However, I am also pretty sure that he would try to protect his princess.

Let his actions provide the answer to that question.
>>
>>330429
Quietly hoping he goes for Lily. Then he can face the Lily Slime Knight.
>>
>>330429
It's both, best to let him reason which one would be the smarter option.

Also, I feel like as a rule, Lily should only revive RSK once. Don't want to get them too miffed at doing it all over again. Unless you guys think it is a good puzzle in and of itself to make it worth it.
>>
>>330429

Yeah! Show that sorcerer the power of teamwork!
>>
>>330429
Lily Slime, stick that Sword in your Drills!
>>
>>330429
ALRIGHTY! FIRST HAVE RSK ENGAGE SORC FOR PHASE 1 With Lily nearby incase the explosion dps is too much. We will then proceed with phase 2.
PHASE 2 goes to Lady and Knight mode. Keep Lily's core close incase Sorc Targets her.
Then once lily goes down, we head to
PHASE 3 Lily Slime Knight. Make sure you hide the slime core somewhere safe.
>>
>>330429
Its both really, kill one and the other absorbs the fallen.

Its like Snorlax and Pikachu from DS1
>>
>>330456
it's a good puzzle and will in the end make this a 3 phase fight first phase is just slime knight second is the healing until they figure out to kill lily first to trigger phase 3 Lily Slime Knight.
>>
>>330458

I think his problem is that he thinks he wants everything to be as easy as possible, yet in reality he wants to experience as much combat as possible. He wants chances to shine and actually fight and try out new things instead of just rushing as fast as possible to the end boss.

Though he brought along Golem to bypass the slimes, he seems to be enjoying himself now more than ever now that he has to actually slog through things and exert himself.
>>
>>330472
That's fair. Wonder if Sorc will let us get to that point. But I'm game.
>>
>>330485
>Telling the adventurers how to solve things

Sorc is just too tsuntsun for his own good

You know what we need to infuse Lily with a magic rune after these heroes leave. It would give Lily more offensive options in the fight other than throwing slime or just being a healbot for RSK.
>>
>>330478
I think his problem is that he came here for the invincible final boss, and didn't want to do the rest of the dungeon. Now he's finally having buzzword.
>>
You know if he does manage to beat the RSK bossfight (all 3 phases), lets invite him to the spa.
>>
>>330495

So long as we have at least one fancy rune left.

Hmm... Yeah, I think he'll find out very quickly how strong she is. It makes me kinda happy seeing them work out like this.

I love how non-chalant Lily is in a boss fight.

I'd actually rather Lily stay as she is. She can be the bratty younger sister in the slime royal family.

>>330495
Agreed. She's been doing real good lately.
>>
>>330554
I wouldn't mind that, but I prefer Lily looking like her cute brat self. Otherwise she'll look teen and I dunno.

>>330545

We kind of need the flow of fancy runes. Try to remember that. However, that said, I find the idea of giving Lily a Fist rune so that her drills turn into fists, hilarious.

He missed the cores, so slime synthesis final form time?

Lily slime is perfect as she is!

RSK should be fine right? The slime core isn't in the head, right?

Also eye-powers are bullshit.
>>
>>330566
It's a slime, losing his head isn't dangerous. Absorb lily and go full murder mode.
>>
>>330569
Can they fuse as long as their remains are touching and core intact?
>>
>>330569
clones can't divide again. only core slimes can.

>>330566
eh, give him the key, i want to see his reaction to the explodies. and then he gets ganked by the grue.
>>
>>330570
But I'm super curious what a fancy magic slime looks like.
>>
>>330566
Quick! Check to see if the cores survived! We need to make sure phase 3 ACTIVATES!
>>
>>330569
>>330582

What this person said. We have no idea how long it takes for a slime core to divide and produce another clone with a slime core, but a clone without one is intrinsically tied to the core slime.
>>
>>330566
PHASE 3 ACTIVATE LRSK
>>
>>330545
>>330562
Honestly, I really think it might be time to upgrade her. I feel like it's their version of promotion, and she's been doing a real good job at being a team with RSK.

Besides, we can keep the lever room Lily just as she is now.
>>
When RSK gets back up, let's punch the Sorc's pinky to break it.
>>
>>330566
Lily's core is definitely gone, but is Slime Knight actually dead?
>>
>>330566
...Yeah. It's definitely time for another rune, even MW had taken hits.
>>
>>330589
If he somehow survives PHASE 3, I'd say he deserves to go relax at the spa. Have plant cleric direct him towards Olivia's spa. When he's done with the spa treatment, that's when we give Sorc and Golem the right to fight the final boss.
>>
>>330590
we have to, complex slimes can't divide anymore. meaning we wont have a lever lily if she gets an upgrade.
>>
>>330620
Complexity is a factor of rune types, not number of runes. We can add water and fancy runes if we want as long as we don't add more fancy than water, just nothing else.
>>
>>330620
complex slimes can't divide anymore

Not if she only has two differing runes. If we only put in more fancy and water runes, then we can still get runes out.

I'm not saying we put in a third different rune, just one or two of the ones we used to make her.
>>
>>330562
>>330563
Going by Curi, I thought that only adding extra Water runes would make Lily look older.

Apart from a Fist rune giving Lily better CQC abilities via turning her drills into fists, I figure that it would also increase her mobility (possibly by letting her form legs) and resistance to stunning.
I.e. The goal isn't to turn Lily into a melee combatant, just to help her defend herself from attacks. At the same time, the Fist powers would play very well to her fused form's strengths.

Don't give her more than one Fist rune though. Save her other slots for Fancy and Magic.

The problem is that if we add more fancy runes than we do water runes, she stops being a slime.

But we need the influx of Fancy runes! Unless we upgrade Lily and make another Slime princess (2 rune) to take place of her previous occupation, the moment we upgrade Lily with a different Rune type, our Fancy Rune income is gone!

"You fought well... But it ends here."

>She places him back on the ground and goes to her throne.

>The door is thrown open and The Golem runs in, her hair still wet.

"Sorcerer!"

>She runs over to the man. He's barely hanging in there.

"Golem... You're back... I knew you would return..."

"You dummy! If you were going to fight something so strong you should have come back for me!"

"Heh... You know how I am... Always so hot heated.... Listen... Golem... I need you... To finish the dungeon... For me..."

>She nods and wipes away a tear.

"Yes, of course... Of course I will..."

"Good... Then I can pass... In peace...."

>The Sorcerer has been defeated!<

>The Golem looks at Lily Slime Knight.

"... You look pretty strong. ... Can I get the key and we say we fought?"

>>330823
Because it's a sin to be so cute.
>>
>>330827
"No."
Fighting stance, she may have the first move.
>>
>>330827
Eh, well. Tell her she's just gonna die to the optional boss anyways. Would she rather die in a battle or get completely wrecked before she even sees the boss?
>>
>>330827
Sure, she asked nicely. Wait, she didn't say please. Crap.
>>
>>330827
No.
She's already had a nice long rest, time for her to fight.
>>
>>330827
>"... You look pretty strong. ... Can I get the key and we say we fought?"
Yeah sure.
>>
>>330827
Just cross your arms and give her the ultra smug expression.
You know the one.
>>
>>330827
yeah sure, good luck with the final boss
>>
>>330827
No. she must earn it and try and do her best just like the sorcerer. (besides the extra boss is WAY harder than Lily)
>>
>>330827
Door slams shut behind her for dramatic effect.

I fear she might be much stronger than she's letting on to, but this is an excellent opportunity to gauge that strength.
>>
>>330827
Nope. Gotta prove your merit.
>>
>>330827
Nyet! She must face the trials like every other adventurer. Do you think just because you gave a touching scene we'll just give you the key?

Besides, even if we wanted to give the key, it won't drop till the core placed in LilyKnight's chest is destroied. You know the one riiiight there. Where a heart would be if she had one.
>>
>>330827

That goes against the code of honor knights have. Either she fights for the key, or she's free to leave empty handed. Besides, if she cannot defeat Lily knight, she has an absolute zero chance of defeating the horror sealed within the dungeon
>>
>>330827
"That would be an insult."

"Nay, You are not strong enough to take on the ANCIENT ONE beneath these grounds. If you wish to FINISH THE DUNGEON for your BELOVED you must FIGHT."
>>
>>330827
Nah. She should honor her friend's word. I don't think we should let her cheese it.
>>
>>330827
Remind her that it technically counts as clearing the dungeon if you beat the LilyKnight, seeing that the last boss is pretty much an optional boss.
>>
>>330827
I'm sorry, but to simply give you the key would be leaving you unprepared for the foe underneath. I and my knight are here to ensure only those who are able to fight with courage and without fear may face that foe. It has bested others before you, and it shall do so again. So We remain, to judge those who come forth.

Fight well, golem. Fight well for both of you.

Questions, friends.
On the 0.00000001% chance that Best Golem kills this thing, what happens? Is it an unassigned monster, like what nearly happened to Ms. Bloops? Or is it supposed to be there, and it'll respawn when it dies? And if it respawns, where does it go?
>>
>>331003
Sell the golem's clothes.

Turn the cape into a rune. We'll need to get an oil rune in order to make a fire slime analogue. won't work with water.

>>
>>331006
SMT Super Bosses are usually retardedly difficult. The one in Digital Devil Saga is the Protag from SMT III and treats the fight as a generic random encounter and if you have certain items/abilities equipped or do the fight wrong, he auto-ganks you for seeming like an actual threat.

Like, there's one in one of the Devil Survivor games where it's Lucifer and he gets a free hits all your guys on the map Almighty attack at the start of every turn that doubles in power every turn in a Grid Based SRPG game.
>>
>>331006
Shin Megami Tensei. Series with notorious hard bosses that require sandbagging not die immediately too. Getting hit by an element you weak too lets whoever hit you get another turn. It works BOTH ways. Also Bosses have bullshit special abilities you cannot get ever. Like Megidoladyne, which hit for unblockalbe damage to the entire party and gests stronger with no limit each use. Furthermore it start of hitting like a truck in the first place.
>>
>>331003
All things considered, not a bad haul.

I figure the fire rune is a must, and I feel maybe we can either sell the clothes, or turn it into mana, if its possible.

With this, we can probably prime ourselves for Curi's boss room, and maybe even start accumulating goods for the shop.

The reviews are going to be very interesting. I'm feeling a 3 from Sorc and a 3.5-4 from Golem.

>>331022
It would be wise to consult the golem, yes.

I vote to rename the RSK to Nightmare Fuel

>>331003
Keep the new minion. it has MUSIC RUNES!

>>331003
Change the golems clothes to more gold, change the cloak to fire, get the siren slime to work making music runes

>>
Fire runes are tempting but if we sell off everything we'll have 790 G plus the 340G we started with. Plus a fire/water slime will be even sadder than Oilivia was.

1130G will let us buy the Carpenter upgrade, a boss room AND the Dungeoneer for seven rune monsters.
>>
>>331025
Oh, and usually if you do manage to get a combination of ability that block the boss' damage, they pull some bullshit move. I remember one that instantly wiped your party if you did that.
>>
>>331033
Fire + Oil could make a slimey analogue.
>>
>>331003

Is our new minion stuck as a hat, or is there a way to change its form?
>>
>>331006
There's boss's in the SMT series that be basic difficulty then there's some boss that can instantly kill anyone due to absurd damage output, hard patterns to read, Mot's fucking gay as hell cheap infinite turns to one-hit kill before you can even move bullshit, then there's Demi-Fiend and Satan that are almost impossible to beat without cheesing them even then there's a chance that they can use their instant death move, God's Breath and Gaea Rage
>>
>>331003
Call Mary over

We need that golem's contact info
>>
>>331033
But we need to get better padding material between boss fights. Much of the adventurers so far have easily cheesed the moat, and aside from the Ice Golem, there isn't much to wear down adventurers.
>>331042
new minion is music slime. It's not a hat. It's a slime that can sing/make music.
>>
>>331033
Well, we could always just turn some of cook's oil into a rune, to make a fire slime.

I'd rather we get the shop ready first and fix any kinks before we go into the dungeoneer path.
>>
>>331003
...

MARY! SOMEONE HIT THE THING IN THE BASEMENT!

>>331017
Pretty sure Fire and Water don't mix very well...

To do list:
Upgrade Ruth

Upgrade Ruth's Bat
Create a weapon for Mimic to contain: Ruth's Bat, Sleeping Aid
Make Boss room for either Lily/RSK or Curi
>>
>>331031
We should put siren slimes all around the dungeon to create a nice atmosphere and add background music.

Fire and oil STILL don't mix well.

>>331039
Yeah. 100G seems like too much for a fire rune though. Can't we just buy a torch and turn it into a fire rune?
>>
>>331064
Can we do that without actually being near him? Do we even want to do that?
>>
>>331003
We need to send the Golem a gift for being the first hero capable of surviving the door.
>>
>>331068
Well we should ask the Demonologist then. She should know how it might be possible to create a fire slime.

Maybe magma? Fire+Rock?
>>
>>331065
We could just send someone out. We did some shopping earlier that way, so we should be able to send someone to ask her in person.

We need to produce musical slimes in order to make an epic boss theme.

We really could use the fire rune
>>
>>331131
Fire rune!

So we can make a fire/magma (Fire+Stone) elemental to complement the ice one we've got going
>>
>>331131
We got a lot of gold from those two so we might as well get a fire rune
>>
>>331131
Not sure if the fire rune is easily replicable.
>>
>>331136
Yea, but we'll run into same problem as with the oil rune though.
We'll need to stick oil, water and fire rune together to make a napalm slime.
>>
>>331131
Keep the cloak! I'm sure it'll be handy to someone who can actually die, like Mary.
>>
>>331131

Voting for fire rune. Now, we should get demonologist to find a way to produce a fire slime out of it, as blending fire with water rune sounds like it would be absolutely incompatible
>>
>>331128
Still saying we should assign Jeffrey to it, just in case
>>331131
We need the gold like >>331033 said
>>
>>331131

That largely depends on whether or not, you are going to let us make a molten slime out of fire and earth. If so, we can make due with the one we have right now.

A torch, which is what we used to make our first fire rune, should not be too expensive to buy in town. And what we need right now is enough gold to finance a carpenter and begin saving up the 500 we will then need for a boss room. And we need a boss room (well, really 2 at this point)
>>
>>331144
I like that idea. Kilgorey slimes.
>>
>>331144
Problem is that if we go with your suggestion, then we can't replicate it for runes.
>>
>>331131
We got a fire rune from a torch back in thread 1, we'd probably be better off selling the cloak and using the money to buy those if we want fire runes.

Convert it to gold.

>>331149
>>331146
>>331137
>>331136

Guys, we HAVE a fire rune already. We got it when we busted up a torch. Torches should not be more than 20g a pop, so let's not waste gold and/or a powerful item.

>>331131
fire rune
>>
>>331131
Grab the fire rune.

Just wanted to add that yes you do have a fire rune however they are not able to be made into slimes and therefore it's the only one. HOWEVER, if you spring for the librarian upgrade any runes can be converted into different, already obtained, runes. So water could be made into fire or music.

okay now I really gotta go bye

Is that a thing? Since sell cloak for gold buy torches sounds like a better plan.

why buy the dungeoneer for 7 rune monsters? We need better padding between boss rooms. We need Quality room traps and mobs to wear down adventurers while occupying their boredom.
>>

Oh, in that case then let's do gold. Also considering our capacity to get new runes, that seems insane.

We spent 50 g earlier on the spa and started with 340g. Erego, we can just barely not afford the carpenter AND the boss room (by 10g). If we sell the clothes, we can at least afford half price rooms from now on, and a room to let Curi go all out.

> Please consider this.
>>
>>331195
We really shouldn't be making highly unstable slimes as experiments?
Do you want Mary to feel evil for creating things that inherently suffer?
>>
>>331212
But what about the revenue generated from Golem's 40 Gold Spa treatment and Sorcerer's 100 gold on Full heals? Did we include that into our revenue? We need to know our total profit numbers!
>>
>>331181
Dungeoneer also opens up magic traps and false walls. We'd have just enough money left over to buy a new basic room and put in a challenge with some unused slimes and after that we can easily add a new room or two after each adventurer run and have the time to properly plan each one out.
>>
>>331243
Show me the ledgers please Finance anon.
>>
>>331251
340G to start + 500G base + 140G services + 50G golem clothes + 100G from the cloak. That gives 1130G.

300G - Carpenter
500G - Boss room (half price)
300G - Dungeoneer
25G - Basic room (half price)

For 1125G spent.

>>
>>331278
Haha, I'm an idiot who got the dungeoneer's position confused with the demonologist upgrade since she's not listed as bought in the opening post.

That's good, I'm curious about the magic traps.
>>
>>331278
are the boss room expenses for both Curi and RSK?
>>
>>331300
RSK is only a miniboss, right?
They already have a miniboss room.
>>
>>331304
But Lily Slime Knight is a 6-rune Boss Monster. She can't harness her full potential in a gimpy miniboss room!
>>
>>331307
She's also technically the miniboss of the dungeon. Curi/Jefferey are the bosses
>>
>>331300

What this anon said (>>331304), though this anon (>>331307) may have a point. However, we've never been given a direct confirmation that their present room is limiting them in any way.
>>
>>331300
Just one, I figure that it would take Jeffrey/Lucy's spot in the dungeon.

That said, as we expand and progress with the dungeon, we can add another boss room for Lily Slime Knight. Presuming of course that we are allowed to put a 4 rune into a boss room.

We then push Curi, The Mother of Slimes, further up the dungeon.

As it stands though, it's probably best to use Curi as the boss. RSK makes a very enjoyable mini-boss/puzzle.

Do we have funds left over for 1 room of traps/mobs for padding between major miniboss/boss fights? And can someone redesign the moat room? so many adventurers are clearing it without much problem that it's a joke.
>>
>>331317
We have a two rune in a miniboss room, and a boss in a normal room.
Presumably all room type limits is max power output.
>>
>>331325

I did a couple threads ago.
>>
>>331325
I won't say that we need to fix it, just yet. We've done a fair bit to cut out some of the cheese. And admittedly, Warrior died to it, and Psionic NEARLY died to it. The only thing I would add is a specific trap based on number of players in the room. If it is greater than 2, any players that try to not use the rope, will be sent into the moat, upon that happnening, any other players can cross the rope and activate a drawbridge/ladder to rescue their comrades. At the very least it will add some more fun to any parties that come through here.

Besides, the moat+Ms.Bloops is a good barometer for the type of adventurers we'll get. I'm fine with it being not a hard trap/puzzle.
>>
>>331330
>>331325

I accidentally left off the fountain room, but first there is the simple moat. After that, there is the multi-step platform puzzle. I was thinking that basically, if you didn't hurt the first slime, she'd show up in the next room and help you by showing you the correct way to hop across the room and open the door at the other side. Touch a wrong stone or a stone out of order, and the pillars fall into the comfy pools below.

>>
>>331325
I don't see why not. Basic rooms are pretty cheap; might be stretching our budget some depending on what sort of traps you want though.

I'm for an extra room as filler. Right now we have 5 slimes not in the dungeon proper and I'm sure that number will only increase unless we make a place for them.
>>
>>331325
I like it the way it is, personally. it's an immediate indicator of a person's puzzle solving abilities and mentalities. If we want, we could add more puzzle rooms between the Ice Golem and RSK rooms and the main hub.
>>
>>331325
We don't want adventurers being turned away or killed until the end. The ideal outcome is that every party has at least one member make it to the Final Boss and die there.

Losing instantly would just make for bad PR
>>
>>331325
honestly, I think it's too hard for the beginning.

Reposting ideas for Filler/padding/puzzle rooms from Last thread:

> Follow the lure: There's a giant pool filled with slimes, one of which has a golden key core. In hard mode, the lights turn off, and you must follow the glowing core. In nightmare mode, the entire maze the slimes run through is covered from the top so that you have to chase it under water.

> Slime Staircase: In order to reach the top of the dungeon room, you must freeze slimes one on top of the other and climb them to the top. In hard mode, the slimes unfreeze after a certain amount of time. In nightmare mode, they then spawn an explosive slime.

>Magma slime mayhem: Put water on the magma slimes to navigate on their hardened backs. Hard mode is that the slimes break up after a while. Nightmare mode is that the slimes go berserk after.

>Sum of Slimes: There is one slime girl and several jugs in front of you. You must fill the jugs to a certain sum using a combination of pours. Hard mode, your time is limited. Nightmare mode, the slime is not cooperative.

> Slime Sharpshooting: There is a number of targets on the wall the adventurer enters on. In order to open the door, the slime must hit each target with ammo aimed at the adventurer. Hard mode: The targets move and the water slime becomes a mud slime. Nightmare mode: The mud slime is replaced by a magma slime.
>>
>>331388
I'll say that the Sum of Slime and the Lure one seem the best of the bunch so far, the slime sharpshooting could be fun, though a pain for adventurers to understand what they're supposed to do.
>>
>>331347
On second thought I think it's best if we get that token shop setup asap. We can use the spare basic room that we can afford to setup an npc slime. Or have Olivia be the NPC slime whom you spend slime tokens on in the spa room.
>>
>>326490
Water + Fancy + Shiny?
>>
>>331414
This could work
>>
>>331410
I for one think a seperate NPC slime would be best, or maybe another plant character like Plant Cleric? Plant Butler, perhaps?

And then we can work on some items. Sure we have plushies and dakis, but we need some meaty items as well. Things like that Royal Slime Jelly that was suggested, or some basic things like boots, swords, and shields themed with slime.

Also thinking marketing might be something to work on. We've been advertising the tough boss, but it's produced difficult results with our adventurers. When we get Curi a room, we can advertise her, AND advertise the bonus boss. Might be better, overall.

Hm. Would it be possible to basically have Spa Slime provide a minor boost to our attendees overall? Sort of a dungeon buff to our slimes?
>>
>>331433
Another issue with Marketing is that Golem survived long enough to see WHAT Jeffrey is and Looks like for a brief second. She might let slip about what it is on her review. I agree with you there on the marketing strategy. But we'll have to get the shop setup and also advertise our token shop and royal slime spa.

How about an adorable little Korok, or something of the like, named Root?

Oooh! I've got it, we have three of the little guy/gals manning the store named Root, Petal, and Thorn. With their powers combined... they are almost tall enough to reach the top shelf without throwing someone.

>>331451
NO CROSSING THE STREAMS.
At least not until we're zoned for interdimentional dungeon diving portals.
>>
>>331449
Well, really, with an appropriate boss room for Curi, we'd have everything we need to consider this an appropriate dungeon that we could advertise all its merits. The Puzzles, The Spa, The Item Shop, and the appropriate boss and special boss.

Hell slogan wise you could go with "Prepare to meet the Mother of Slimes" or something to that effect. Later on with more bosses like Lily/RSK, A Slime King, more princesses you could go with.

>You've met the mother... Prepare to meet... The Royal Family!

and so on and so forth.

>>331447
It's a good question, we don't know what boss abilities Oilivia has.

>>331451
If this is a reference, I don't get it. But I do like the idea of some small shopkeeps like this. It's pretty cute.
>>
>>331451
I approve of shop mascots. More so if despite looking that cute they are more than capable of stopping any potential shoplifters.

Also we should combine Fancy + Container runes to create display cases for our items to make them look better. Possibly make the display cases mimics too for extra security / making the shop a secret deathtrap to anyone who wants to start something there.
>>
>>331471

Root, Petal, and Thorn is a reference to the names of the three dorms in MAQ. Names can be negotiated, of course. I just found those kind of endearing.

With RSK as proof, I don't see why it wouldn't be possible. He wouldn't be final boss of course, that's reserved for the queen.

I figure we'll get music slimes in the appropriate rooms, the atrium, dance hall, shop, spa, mini boss and boss rooms.

>>331477

what about an alraune as our shopkeep? We could use Water + Wood + Fancy to create one.

Man i love imagining Slimecrown Citadel as a place where the slimes of old imprisoned a unspeakably powerful entity only known as The Ancient One, and now the slime keep watch over the seal over it's tomb, testing adventurers in hopes of finding someone strong or clever enough to finally best The Ancient One.

Either Obelisk or Silfer would do nicely.

Neat treat for Slifer: In order to expose the core located in his neck, you have to deal enough damage to the head that it splits in two.

Of course, that means dealing with two dragon heads blasting you with much faster attacks.
>>
>>331580
Well, like all castles, there is clearly an abbey for local worship, right?

That means we'll need to plan for acquiring holy runes for the all the priests/worshippers of slime religion and the creation of the slime god.

Also. We need an army of slime knights. Using water + Sword runes which also gives us the benefit of producing sword runes.

I feel we should make some using Water + Metal too; have some as attackers and some more for defense.

Far as placement goes; having them right before the Lily Knight fight to defend the Princess' chambers from invaders I feel would be fitting.

The best thing about this brainstorming right now is the fact that we could eventually reach a point where our dungeon is so big that a single adventure is an entire thread. I can't wait for parties of 4-5 to become regular, as well as seing returning friends like Psionic, Warrior, Golem, etc. Really fun creating this little world.
>>
>>331665
Hear hear.
>>
>>331665
It'd be better if people didn't throw a fit when people try to suggest something other then slimes.
Slimes are neat and all, but we need more diversity in the dungeon. Otherwise we end up with situations like the Siren Slime.
>>
>>331655
Have them also stationed in the "Appease Princess Lily" Room. They would look great acting as her guards there too.
>>331656
>>331661
you know we could just make it a pantheon of Slime Deities in our far in the future "Wrath of the Ancients" dungeon expansion. We can have adventurers fight a different slime deity summoned in a random roulette fashion. Who wouldn't want to see adventurers try to fight (and fail, but occasionally succeed) your aforementioned deities (And Jeffrey the Ancient One)?
>>
>>331665
What excites and arouses me is the idea of the dungeon becoming large enough that we have two parties in it at once.
>>
>>331672
It's certainly something we'll need to be aware of.

I for one, want to have a long hallway with some armor golems that stand still until a certain point and then follow our adventurers. Not to mention a royal garden with some various plant and animal type monsters.
>>
>>331665
We already did reach that point. The prep and actual event to Sorcerer and Golem's Dungeon adventure alone has hit the bump limit. Granted we're still on page 3, but how many more adventures can we cram in before the thread falls off the board?
>>
>>331688
To be fair, fire is a big reason that happened. It'll depend on how much Larro wants to do tonight/tomorrow, if anything at all.

You never know, we may get one more in.

>>331688
Quite a few actually. It takes like two or three days for a quest to fall off the board after bump limit usually.

>>
>>331655
>Water + Metal

Are you trying to give colossal amounts of experience to the adventurers? Because that's what you get if you give them metal slimes to kill
>>
>>331672
The problem is that we're too comfy; We've become complacent. The problem with making non-slime monsters is that we'd have to remake the entire theme of the dungeon, and rename it to boot. That takes a lot of time, energy, and precious resources.
So while we could do that, we're lazy. The compromise is that we make lower levels in the dungeon, with differing themes to suit what we want to make. But that's a long term goal, and only appeases the slime purists in the short term.
TL;DR: adding monsters causes butthurt, no matter what the creation.

It can still be Slimecrown whatever with non-slime monsters.

I want to complete the theme we are presently on to my satisfaction before we try to spearhead an entirely new project. letting transient notes of what that project will be assert themselves with time. (ie. We've been slowly transitioning from strictly slimes to also include plants and armored knights).

Let that be the natural progression. It will make sense as we add onto it piece by piece.

That aside, its not that hard to introduce non-slimes. The key thing is to keep slimes as the majority of the total monster population demographic within Slimecrown Citadel.

Nobody's saying to start an entirely new project. I'm saying we need to do something to this one to lower the amount of cheese available that can break the entire dungeon at once.
If we have to break theme, so be it. Better a working dungeon, then a stroll in the park.

>>331722
>keep slimes as the majority of the total monster population demographic
That doesn't fix the problem, though.
>>
>>331731
To be fair, and I'm just reading this over right now, this is something that we would see to working on several parts down the line, with various rooms being added one at a time. No reason for us to blitz something like that.
>>
>>331731
I did say it was a "goal" not something that'll be doable right now all at once. For now choosing and implementing ideas the anons like from it is a thing that can happen. Or choose none. I posted the post. My work here is done. I'm going to go eat sandwiches
>>
>>331712
I think the touchy part of the subject is that most discussions like this imply that we remove our existing slimes from circulation, which probably isn't the intent. Hesitancies aside, we could totally work in non-slimes into the monster pool, but it'll take about 50 bickering voices and 6 hours to decide on the beat additions.

Anyone have any good ideas off the bat?
>>
>>331702
I for one liked the idea of having a basement expansion where it stops being 'all slime, all the time' and switches over to horrible things they're trying to contain other than the current nightmare boss. Easily explains away any random monster decisions.

>>331709
Not bad ideas for the most part; though I do think we should probably branch out from more than just slimes and ice elementals for all of the fight rooms. Just cause we have them already doesn't mean we can't change things up a bit.

Also, I feel Slime Rush should probably tone down the respawn rate except on the harder difficulties. Even if they are slimes most of them are 2-rune creations, same as the ice elemental and he's treated as enough of a threat to carry rooms himself with just a little support.
>>
>>331749
I left a few ideas.
>>331687
>>
>>331749
There was the Hallway of Knights and the Garden here -> >>331687

What about like a Castle Forge or Kitchen, with fire type monsters and blacksmiths/chefs? It could have higher weapon/food drops respectively and we might be able to use it to actually make stuff in the off time we can use as loot elsewhere in the dungeon.

And yeah, not saying to remove the existing slimes from circulation. I like the rooms we've got. Especially, since Lily is my favorite.
>>
>>331754
I like this idea. Here adventurers are trying to reach/kill Jeffrey The Ancient One only to find out Jeffrey wasn't the only non-slime abomination/horror lurking beneath the citadel grounds that the Slimes are trying to contain.
>>
>>331755
I really like the garden idea. We could have all kinds of plant monsters and living statues!

Actually, living statues in general would be a great addition for the entire dungeon. Can we make 10 billion of those?
>>
>>331720
>ie. We've been slowly transitioning from strictly slimes to also include plants and armored knights).
Well now I'm curious what would happen if we made another Slime Knight, but instead of adding a Fancy Rune we added a Wood one.
>>
>>331761

We'll build up to that. A garden is something I would love to have, and a hall of armored knights could also be amusing. I can picture a garden that is puzzle platforming with living statues moving the platforms around, and the garden itself being kind of a gateway to a lot of the more fun and lighthearted material.

Conversely, the hall of knights, and other such dungeony things are deeper into the hardcore runs.

Like, that's what we've been discussing since the beginning, making fun profitable without the need for combat prowess and to use that to then fund our grander schemes.
>>
>>331776
We should definitely have some normal slime knights without the fancy rune and have them stationed in a barracks or patrolling.
>>
>>331762
The lower levels thing was the main argument for leaving the upper levels intact as slime focused. It didn't make a lot of people happy when it was first suggested. But if we all agree on making lower levels with super cool new monsters, I say lets do it! Maybe we could have the beginnings of one before this thread ends?
>>
>>331776
Or we can make simple slime footsoldiers using Water + Sword runes and their captains who are made up of Water + Sword + Metal runes.

Alright, after looking over the list of proposed changes, I like a lot of what I see here. Particularly the revolutionary room, and the proposed expanding on the ice elemental challenges, I think seeing our heroes struggle through the last elemental puzzle would be a treat, especially when they do succeed (plus they'll need to get cleaned up, and what better way to do it then at THE ROYAL SPA)

A couple things to note though, as has been brought up before, the way it currently is strikes me as a bit too samey. Mainly the fact that we would still have only a few types of monsters, only this time its slimes and ice elementals. Now we could always improve upon that by adding either an additional water rune, or, my personal favourite, a mind rune. So in the super hard version of the challenge, you have ice elementals with more kinetic abilities. Something to spruce it up a bit.

The other thing that I have slight issue with is the maze, I like the idea of explodey being in there, and the idea of disturbing them would wake it up and set it alight. But I think we should allow some leway with the light issue. I think it would be fine if people use arcane light that does not use fire. Seems a little too cheesy if its all light that sets it off.

But that's a personal opinion. I love most of these puzzles and they could definitely work, especially as the room expands with more and more bosses.

>>331811
Good to have you back, Larro.
>>
>>331811
HAIL CURIE, SHE WHO GURGLES IN A THOUSAND TONGUES
>>
>>331824
hence the slow process discussing and incorporating non-slime monsters and different room designs into the dungeon.
>>
>>331827
Welcome back, Larro! Glad you're here again. Any longer and we'd have called the fire brigade.
>>
Hmm. Idea.
Color code the slimes with some food dye the cook probably has.
>>
>>331835
Agreed, it's a work in process.
>>
>>331824
I'm thinking after our next incoming party of adventurers, we should focus our efforts on getting more rooms and different themed rooms on the puzzle/mob rooms for padding. I agree on the account that our monster demographic needs more diversity in terms of other themes.

Why don't we start off by building a royal garden Room?
>>
>>331843
They'd probably just digest it before it could have any effect on their pigmentation.
>>
>>331709
Instead of giving Curi two rooms/using a Curi clone for the dancing room, I'd rather use a teleporter (magic trap?) that sends the heroes back to Curi's room and have her be unattackable until it's activated (assuming we can make her unattackable until a condition is met, that is).
>>
We have a single fire rune but I bet with two or one fire one earth/stone we could fashion a lava elemental which is kinda slimey.

>>331847
I like the idea of expanding on the water nature theme too. Have a bunch of slimes carrying around watering cans for plant monsters.
>>
>>331847
I'd be willing to see that happen. But only after we:

>Build Curi's boss room, finalizing her as the boss
>Finish up the shop (adding items, both novelty and useful)
>Finish up the Spa (Add more amenities, mud bath slimes, seaweed wrap, sauna, steam room)

Doing the first will allow adventures a boss battle that could be more winnable than Jeffrey, and the later two will increase return customers(token collecting) and profitability(access to improved services for higher costs)
>>
>>331811
We should change the spa entrance and shop entrance to be at the first fountain room instead of cleric room so anyone can come spend money there,not just adventurers, also add a locked staff door to the spa room with a hallway to the staff area so Mary can get in or out easy

I still think we should try and franchise a branch of the 99c Store.
We might even be able to get a visit from the store's owner and mascot: Magical Merchant 99c!
>>
>>331827
What kind was it?
>>
Sorry I didn't address the monster diversity issue. I'm from the Zelda school of dungeon building. Where you get two different colors of three kinds of monster, a boss, a miniboss, if you're lucky and four if they're actually not that much harder than normal enemies. Then the rest is all puzzles, traps, and field hazards.

If you want more from me go down a floor and make a new theme. I recommend earth monsters. It let's us transition a bit to the plant and earth based slimes, start putting in a couple fire and earth monsters, and eventually we can move on to a straight fire dungeon under that. If we start building into the sky after getting some wind and air runes, I can help with that too. Though expect more annoying "Get from point a to point b" type rooms like we've got with the Divide. But worse.

I will always try to get slimes of some kind in there. I like slimes
>>
>>331863

I would rather have the spa connect to the main room. It invites repeat visits more readily if it's closer to the center of the action.
>>
>>331872
This is why every girl is also a magical girl!
>>
>>331863
Set up a large fountain/wishing well to act as the shop that the rune production slimes can be npc'd to hang out in and run?
>>
>>331879
I happen to agree in regards to liking the slimes. I'm always fine with slimes finding their way in. I just think we'll need some balance here and there. We've already got some fun ideas to help freshen up the realm, so I foresee us doing some combination of what you suggested, and some alternative monsters and rooms as we move forward.

Anyways, it's time to wait for the reviews. I'm still holding on a 3 from Sorc and 3.5/4 from Golem.

Hope Demonologist doesn't freak out too much after her first attempt at running the dungeon. She should be praised for her work. She'll get time with Oilivia while we figure out a few things.
>>
>>331895
>She'll get time with Oilivia while we figure out a few things.
She can spend time in the Spa after she finishes posing for her Dakimakura.
>>
>>331879

Maybe have an area called The Slime Sanctuary, and it's one part garden, another part just a recreational area where off-duty slimes are playing games. Adventurers can come in if they want and join. Just, you know, don't be getting hostile with them.

While there, the slimes have plenty of games amongst themselves, and they may even award prizes for people who choose to participate are especially good. Games like "Slime and Seek", "Slime Sharp Shooting", maybe even a baseball league could be there. It's kind of a random chance what will be happening.

However, scattered throughout the area, you could also have secrets, like vines and platforms you can climb to access new rooms, some of which may eventually lead you into an entire new, sub-dungeon.
>>
>>331882
I don't think so, if they go to the spa once, they probably won't agin in the same run. Cleric plant work well in the middle because the heal is useful, but who would go to a spa several times in a hour or so period of a dungeon run? If we insist on a door in the middle, just put a hall that goes to it with a locked door whose key is in the cleric plant room

Alright, let's burn everything for gold. I'm sure Mary would approve!

That brings our current gold amount up to... ...
1130 gold...

Oh my god...

Oh, right! We should tell her about the thing!

Ah, but first... I want to see the reviews. You know, just to uh... Make sure they're okay.

["Not what I expected" /
When I first entered this dungeon I came with one goal in mind.
I wanted to defeat their new ultra difficult boss. Based on the previous reviews I figured it would be a few meaningless games and some trivial enemies before the real challenge. I was mistaken.

For those of you who normally follow me for my speedrun guides I must regretfully say that this dungeon is, in fact, impossible to speed run. At least the first time around. I had brought a companion with me that I had hoped would trivialize some of the aspects of Slimecrown Citadel but whoever is running it seems to have already planned against such a thing. As a result I was forced into several fights that exceeded what I expected.

The miniboss is anything but mini, however. She is a ferocious monster that stretched my fighting capabilities to the limits. Even invoking my Evil Eye did not allow me to win.

My journey may have been cut short but I will definitely be trying this dungeon again. Properly, this time.]

['s cool. /

They have a spa now. The girl who works there her name's Oilivia. She's great.

Don't take on the final boss.]
------


A five star review! We did it! We gained so much money and... Oh, I think the Boss is going to be quite pleased.
>>
>>331911
She might even pat your head, Be ready
>>
>>331911
I think that we have an excess of synergyâ„¢ right now with our slimes, so we need to diversifyâ„¢ into more Dynamid Dungeon Designâ„¢ with different types of monsters, so we can't be cheesed.
>>
>>331911
Now the only thing left to do is pose for the body pillow.

Start stripping. We will tell you when to stop.

Congrats demo-chan! Now that it's over, back to the daki posing!
>>
>>331911
Well hot damn, I did not expect this turn of events.

Demonologist! You should be proud! You worked hard for those reviews!

As for Golem's review...well if there was ever a pressing need to make Curi the boss...now would be the time. And advertising it would be wise too.

The Sorcerer gave it five while slime on head gave it a four star? Hmmmm.

Let's get spending. We need a carpenter, a boss room for half off, and the dungeoneer.
300, 500 and 300.
We do have enough money left over for extra rooms!

We need to give Curi a proper boss room as soon as possible.
>>
>>331911
>dont take on the final boss

No "without a full high end raid" or "without super tier gear" qualifiers. Nothing.

Just a "dont even thonk about it".

Oh...oh no... Its going to be in the basement forever
>>
>>331911

You did good, little demon, but if you want to take it one step further, go ahead and do the following:
> Hire on a Carpenter
> Have said Carpenter build a Boss Room for Curi (she'll appreciate the space)
>>
>>331911
You did it! You ran the whole encounter by yourself! Well done, Demo. I think I'm going to miss talking to you when Mary puts the crown back on. Try not to be a stranger when that happens, you hear?

Also, I was not expecting a review from the Sorcerer at all, let alone a 5-star rating. I'm pleasantly surprised! And the 4-star from Best Golem is always nice, too.
>>
>>331911
What to know what will make Mary even more pleased?
You posing for that Dakimakura. Then Mary will be super pleased.
>>
>>331935
I wonder if Lily will get jealous of having a smaller room.
>>
>>331947
Lily doesn't have to know.
>>
>>331947

I wonder if when Lily splits next and we upgrade one Lily with magic, if the lesser Lily will then develop a vendetta.
>>
>>331947
Don't worry, after Curi's room renovation to BOSS LEVEL is complete, the RSK/L&L/LSK miniboss room is next for UPGRADES.
>>
>>331947
We should just add another water and another fancy to each of the Lily slimed so they can't be mind controlled and are stronger while still being lily slime
>>
>>331929
To be fair, I don't know how much stock I would personally put into a four line review. I think we'll be fine. But now that we can afford a boss room for Curi, we'll be able to make sure that everyone knows its optional. And I'm sure some challenge monkeys will want it eventually.

Not the end of the world, just a logical jumping off point for what we have to do in the future.

>>331929
We already have the dungeoneer, as previously discussed.

>>331928
Lets wait and see what we have before going whole hog on all these plans. Piece by piece, after all.

Oh it's likely going to happen. But she'll get her way eventually, if she's patient.

With all those runes in her, she'll probably start talking to people. I eagerly await word from our resident Ojosama.
>>
>>331965
Lily and the Slime knights vs Curi and the Priests, join a side Gods or Queens

Don't worry, we can always advertise Jeffrey as THE ANCIENT ONE SEALED WITHIN SLIMECROWN CITADEL. And entice challenge adventurers into trying to find out who/what is Jeffrey THE ANCIENT ONE

"... I don't recall-" The crown appears back on her head. "... What exactly happened? Did you guys make her do something I wouldn't approve of during the dungeon run?"

>>332008
If Jeffrey/Lucy isn't a Raid boss already, we need to stuff more runes into 'em until it requires a 60-man raid party.

Mary, you might want to sit down. Lets watch the Dungeon replay of Sorcerer and Golem's adventures.

If the answer was yes, would you be mad?

Even with that gold total?
>>
>>332009
Well, that depends...do you like the idea of potentially having an item available at the token shop?

Seriously though, Demonologist did very well. We got a 4 and a 5 star review! I think you should let her go to the spa and unwind.
>>
>>332009
We made money! Two Heroes came in, none left.
Ruth did a very good job in WHACKING the sorcerer that was cheesing the dungeon. It's time we give her an upgrade, with one water rune and one metal rune.
>>
>>332009
Demonologist did awesome and made a ton of money and we got a look at the thing in the basement. It's a big black tentacle beast that's kinda blurry and wearing a sailor fuku. She also got a 5 Star and a 4 Star review.

Demo-Chan also liked our Dakimakura idea and is posing for the first one. She's also trying to make you happy because she doesn't want the dungeon to fail and you to fire everyone.
Also, we had an idea to franchise out a branch of the 99c store for the dungeon.
>>
>>332018
>>332009
Lily also did a wonderful job! She needs a promotion to a 4-rune class miniboss!
>>
>>332009
nope, we beat the heroes and they gave us 4 and 5 star ratings. that part went by the book. this is a bonus afterwards. also, the actual lewd daki will take a load of dungeon tokens, the slightly sexy daki will be cheaper.

>>332009

Absolutely not. Also, you have a singing slime hat to try on.

I think we should give Ruth a bat made out of a steel rune and an explosive rune.
>>
>>332024
>also, the actual lewd daki will take a load of dungeon tokens
What are you talking about? There isn't going to be an actual lewd Daki. Mary doesn't want super lewd stuff.
We're only making the sexy daki.


Shut the hell up before you get us all fired.
>>
>>332012
So for the gift shop, how bout this:

Tokens/Tickets/etc. That you accumulate through repeated runs to get stuff like the Dee daki

OR

pay a small sum of gold, let's say 25 for a mystery chest that may contain any of the above items at incredibly low rates, of course
>>
>>332029
If we can get Ruth to divide, we'll have a good source of metal to work with. We just have to wait a bit to upgrade her bat. Plus, we can have her talk if she becomes a 3 rune slime.
>>
>>332025
> Upgrade Lily with magic
>>
>>332009
We got a new minion, a siren slime.
Also we should make a massive sword by combing a sword, stone, and metal rune.

Don't be silly. You can't fire the admin crown. Everyone loves us!

lets just say our customers were very satisfied.

I'm sure they'll be coming again. If you know what I mean.

>>332032
Dee Daki, Ms.Bloops Plushies, special themed items like a Slime Sword, Slime Shield, Gooey Gauntlets, etc, or rare items like Royal Slime Jelly.
>>
>>332034
NO! YOU'LL CUT OUT ALL OF OUR FANCY RUNE GENERATION!
>>
>>332034

My ideal Lily is one with a magic and a comfy rune tacked on. That's in an ideal world where we don't have to worry about rune counts. One makes her more powerful and able to protect herself. The other makes her less afraid of her emotions and more willing to be kind to people.
>>
>>332046
Can't we just shove a fancy rune into clone Lily?
>>
>>332045
Don't forget the "I survived Slimecrown Citadel." Button, the Mary T-Shirt and the Lily Slime doll and keychain.
>>
>>332047
Only when we get another slime to provide a "stable" rate of generating fancy runes and an upgraded Librarian to convert excess runes.
>>
>>332051
Because clone lily can't split/generate runes if real lily possesses the true core.
>>
>>332057
Just combine another fancy and water rune
>>
>>332053
Yep, all items we should look towards slowly adding into the shop until we have a stable 10 items or so. With some special 11th item that rotates.
>>
>>332057

We could make a new four rune creature right now with 2 water and 2 fancy.
>>
>>332070
We'll probably need those runes to decorate the boss room though? Can't have a dungeon without AESTHETICS
>>
>>332070
just upgrade lily and Ruth so we have a new 3 rune slime and a new 2 rune slime
>>
>>332047
>The other makes her less afraid of her emotions and more willing to be kind to people.
But her tsundere nature is part of why her relationship with RSK is so cute.
I think we should give her a second water rune. That'll make her stronger without changing her personality.
>>
>>332070
and make Lily Jealous!? No! Lets upgrade Lily into a 4-rune slime monarch miniboss with 1 fancy and 1 water. we can use the fancy and water rune for other purposes.
>>
>>332070
four runes makes a miniboss, only one miniboss can be in a miniboss room.
>>
>>332089
but if lily is a miniboss she cant be in the same encounter as RSK... unless Larro clarifies if we can put a miniboss level lily with RSK in the same miniboss room

It's all good though Larro. Excellent thread, and I can't wait to see what crazy ideas could potentially be implemented with this update.

And to conclude my contributions for the night.

What adventurer types do you guys hope we'll see soon?

I'm hoping we see a Druid, a Bard, a Paladin and some sort of Shapechanger in the future.
>>
>>332132
Priest, Barbarian, probably a knight of sorts. Oh Archers! We need arrow runes!

By the way, how are we gonna deal with that faggot of a skeleton who gave Mary the DM life when he returns to "claim what is rightfully his"?
>>
>>332136
Well we can either trick him into going into the basement, or have created another monster by then of a strength level that could take him on.
Seeing as he's not part of a guild or assigned a dungeon room, being destroyed would probably be a much bigger inconvenience for him, though as a Lich probably not an insurmountable one.
Or we could let him. All Mary really wants is to get out of here, so if he removes his curse in exchange I don't see what the problem would be.
>>
>>332132
Some sort of endgame PVE group. The kind of folks who go for World First achievements.

If we put in a note or something that SCC has yet to be fully cleared, we'll get one of them eventually.

Even if they die, we'll probably get a good look at Jeff.
>>
>>332160
He'll immediately make changes and go back to square one of thread one post one where he just converts almost everything minus Jeffrey into runes, have everyone fired, demolish the dungeon layout and then infuse Jeffery with even more runes.
>>
>>332170
So?
Not our problem anymore.
And before you accuse me of being an add, what do you thing is going to happen when Mary's boss finally gets around to getting her out of here?

100 is in the 95+ range. Are you proposing lewd mini-Curis?
>>
>>332160
in all honesty I don't think the lich deserves the ownership of the dungeon back. He forced the curse on Mary and booked out evading numerous debts and fees.
>>332173
I hope for when the time comes for that, the revenue/profit generated from the DM business would be a more lucrative occupation than being a boring run of the mill Auditor. I mean look at the perks Mary's enjoying running a successful dungeon. Royal Spa treatment, good food, friendly co-workers (Demonologist/Dungeoneer/Librarian) who help out when she's stressed and in need (unlike her non-chalant manager who didn't care about pulling resources immediately to help her out).
>>332177
Have the difficulty set at NIGHTMARE MODE for the Lich.
>>
>>332184
Nah, it's a separate drop. So they get the pet and something from the 95+ table
>>
>>331702
>The problem with making non-slime monsters is that we'd have to remake the entire theme of the dungeon, and rename it to boot.
No we wouldn't. We just go "oh, the Citadel is in the middle of a swamp, you have to get through the swamp to reach the Citadel" and suddenly our range of monsters goes WAY up. At that point we can go with more plants and add some other stuff in, like, say, crocodilians, ratfolk and possibly even a misty maze with lights and will-o'-the-wisps where the correct path is lit up, but the lights are the same colour as the wisps and the wisps move while they're not being watched, and if you stray off the path, it's basically "swim back to the beginning through mud that's higher than your head".
>>

As an initial idea, I like it a lot. It could be a solid addition to the "tutorial" portion of our dungeon. Something that can test their problem solving and test them in combat with low 2 rune monsters.

I wouldn't make the swamp too big, maybe the equivalent of 3 or 4 rooms. With a dead end path that leads to a small treasure of some sort as well.

That said, with the addition of the royal garden idea, I am starting to wonder if we'll need someone new to make outdoor rooms. That seems out of the Builders element.
>>
>>332009
Create a Squire Slime: 1 sword, 1 water. Place it with the Royal Slime knight.
>>
>>332501
We can make it outdoorsy by sprucing the room with wood and water runes to give it a swampy look. get ourselves some resources like trees and plants so we can get another source of rune generation and what not.
>>
>>332501
>>332533
A forest in a sinkhole?
>>
>>332435
As I see it, we (are going to) have four types of customers:
Those who come to challenge the thing in the basement.
Those who come in blind based on good reviews.
Those who come for the amenities (spa, etc).
Those who come for the tokens and rare drops.

Types 1 and 3 won't want more put between them and their goal. Adding a swamp outside will lower customer sanctification for these individuals.
Type 2 won't really care.
Type 4 won't care as long as there's tokens and rare drop chances.

Therefore, I believe the best way would be to either add a shortcut to the amenities and basement for returning adventurers or otherwise make any heavy frontloading we do optional. And of course, tokens in every segment.

Would it be possible to set up additional dungeons and require anybody who hasn't been to Slimecrown Citadel before clear them first?
>>
>>332589
Well, some anon mentioned having a "Choose your Difficulty" type thing yesterday. We could do that.

Normal run: A normal dungeon crawl. Amenities open and ready.
Combat: puzzle rooms and Curi's Ballroom are reworked for fights, traps remain the same. Amenities open and ready.
Boss Rush: Need a few more bosses, but could be fun. Teleport adventurers to each boss room when they defeat them. No amenities, healing is what you bring with you. Note that Oilivia, while a boss monster, is not included in the rush, as she is support. Ask at the start if they would like to include Jeffery in their run.
End of the Line: Straight to Jeffery, no detours, you use what you got on you. Good luck, you mad bastards.
>>
>>332619
I like this.
>>
>>332619
The specialized ones need better names, though.
Normal- 'Normal Mode' is fine.
Combat Only- 'Battleground Mode'
Boss Rush- 'Lords of Slimecrown Mode'
End of the Line- I like this one.
>>
>>330688
>Maybe we can get a Yamato Nadeshiko type for the spa, who sits down with customers and serves tea.
That might be neat. It would let us add a magic rune to Lily, while not cutting off our supply of Fancy.
>>
>>332170
Can we find a way to make our staff permanent people, so when we get out of the dungeon, they can leave too and live out normal people lives instead of vanishing into the ether?
>>
>>332637
That would probably take immensely deep magic.
>>
>>332638
These guys made an eldritch horror in the basement. I'm sure we can find a combination of magic skillsets that can lock them into this plane of existence. I'd rather not have to worry about them when we leave.
>>
We should build a secondary hard mode "Dark Souls" dungeon underneath our more "Zelda-esque" Slimecrown Citadel now that we have two boss monsters. That way adventures will have their choice on what exactly they want to pursue when they arrive. Slimecrown Dungeon (working title) will not have fun puzzles, only traps designed to kill the fuck out of things. This will work well if someone finishes the Citadel as it will incentives people to come back and try out what else we've got. We could spin a new theme on it too, like have it be an undead catacomb or some sort of flame temple to a lost God/Demon of Fire that had to be contained with the construction of Slimecrown.
>>
>>332700
I do like the whole idea of Slimecrown citadel being built to seal away some sort of ancient evil.
>>
>>332700
>>332707

I was still more of a fan of the early idea of it simply being a colosseum of sorts for people to casually come to in order to have a variety of challenges, in a sportsman-like manner.
>>
>>332619
We should put in the centre of the dungeon "The Lever" with a sign saying, don't pull this.
The lever triggers horde mode, which locks the doors pours a constant stream of weak slimes.
If you survive the onslaught, you get extra tokens and the doors are unlocked.
High scores are on the wall right next to the lever showing the people who killed the largest number of slimes in 5 minutes.

Basically, it's a way for people who really like to AoE to show their skills.
>>
>>332700
>We could spin a new theme on it too, like have it be an undead catacomb or some sort of flame temple to a lost God/Demon of Fire that had to be contained with the construction of Slimecrown.
I feel like if we're gonna keep the "Slimecrown" name on every level, we should probably try to include at least one slime based enemy, even if all the other have a different theme.
Maybe something like this for the undead level.
>>
>>332708
We could have both.

The dark souls dungeon for Jeffrey. and a colliseum for the amusement of the queen. Maybe beating the colliseum is a requirement for entering the dungeon? Like the slimes are looking for a hero to vanquish the evil once and for all?
>>
>>332715
Dungeon themes slimes, why not? Skeleton slimes, dark slimes, slimes with knives, slimes that say rude things to you, all the slimes that would be too nasty for the regular dungeon.
>>
>>332708
That's still a distinct possibility. In fact maybe we should re-purpose Lilly's room into a Colosseum combat trial. I don't think the Lilly puzzle turned out quite the way we had hoped it would. They can fight for the princesses' approval and the key, then like in "Think you can Slime" they could continue to fight for further rewards?
>>
>>332721
We should make the Colosseum room a boss room, that way it can handle whatever we throw in there at full power.
>>
>>332716
I figured just the tower built on top would be called Slimecrown. I just called the bottom Slimecrown Dungeon for now because I pictured it being below it. I'm certain we can come up with something better once we settle for a theme and such. I like the idea of it being Death and Fire themed as counterpoint to Slimecrown's Water and Life thing. That's just my opinion tho.
>>
>>332731
>Slimecrown Citadel rests atop the Crypt of the Eternal Firestorm Queen
>We put it all in and tell nobody after mostly finishing Slimecrown, only hints come in the form of notes in some side rooms, maybe a level or 2 opening a distant passage
>When someone finally does it and opens the path down, the Siege of Firestorm event begins
>>
>>332731
>I like the idea of it being Death and Fire themed as counterpoint to Slimecrown's Water and Life thing. That's just my opinion tho.
That would be nice if we were just going to make a second area, but if we're talking about expansion we need to always be keeping in mind what's next. And I feel the easiest method of continued expansion is Slimes, I mean all it takes is Slapping a Water Room on the primary enemy of a floor to make it a Slime Enemy
>>
>>332589
You raise some good points, about adding the swamp. Some additional thoughts.

You should also include the eventual 5th adventurer who is like 1, but for our more normal bosses in the future Curi, RSK/Lily, and future bosses.

And then those that straight up want to crawl.

With that in mind, maybe we coukd instead leave the swamp for an external event perhaps it leads to another optional boss or is a side-quest that leads to some extrodinary loot (missing crown jewels maybe?) and some loot in the woods or and leave the entrance as is.

>332619 spells out a potential way for us to handle our clientelle in the future. And should help remove the hastle. We just have plant cleric as the receptionist to help explain the rules.
>>
>>332755
Sure but we can't develop Slimecrown forever right? I feel like we are getting pretty close to a comfortable place with it now that we can set up Curi as a more appropriate boss, and we got some nice non-combat challenges. I'd say the only thing we really need now is a nice setpiece for the Dungeon like giant lilly (flower) rising out of a pool of water to take the adventurer's to the final boss.
>>
>>332755
Personally, I'd like, once we get Curi her boss room, to set up mini-bosses/floor guardians of "princess" slimes, who's rooms are themed based after what element(s) they are made up (look of room, creatures in it, themed traps,...) that precede Curi's throne room at the top/end.
>>
>>332721
I agree on that front. I think watching peasants(adventurers) fighting for her approval would be entertaining to Lily. But we'll need to create some gladiators for the Colosseum.
>>
>>332776
Yeah, different "modes" and various points of entry sounds good. First time through you have to do it all, but then you get replay value by being able to start partway through or just fight bosses or skip right to dying in the basement or even just hit the spa and leave without doing any adventurer things.
>>
>>332786
I was thinking waves of ten enemies with a Cleric plant offering free heals at the end of every wave. The first wave could get you they key and would probably be pretty simple if somewhat grindy. After that every ten waves could get you a Token or Spa Coupon. Then after the Fifth wave and a fight with the champ, probably something harder than Lilly+Slimeknight but not as tough as Curi they can win a proper piece of equipment. Plotting a proper roster will definitely be important.
>>
>>332795
>>332776
Keep in mind we still need to kill a large majority of adventurers that enter the dungeon in order to make enough revenue (runes and money) to expand our dungeon.
>>
>>332589

One of the biggest and most consistent complaints we've had in our reviews is the LACK OF DROPS. We need to spend more money on treasure for the people to get. And soon. Because notice how, right now, the people that showed up were just here for the fights? If we want to work the tokens/rare drops angle we need to start countering our reputation as stingy noloot, and soon. By soon I mean now.
>>
>>332803
>with a Cleric plant offering free heals at the end of every wave.
No. Colosseums where you get to rest between each wave are almost impossible to lose. I can't remember a single game ever where I've lost in such an arena.
The heals should have a cost, or they should be limited in number.
>>
>>332813
True. We could start having our mobs drop at least 1 gold with our bosses dropping 50~100 gold if they're defeated.
>>
>>332812
True, the endgame still is mulching our heroes. Its just a matter of catering to their wants and needs...while we mulch them.

>>332813
Agreed, thankfully Curi as a defeatable boss will help a bit on drops. But we still need to add some stuff as well, tokens in some rooms, items and gold in others.

My intended goals for now are still
>Set up Curi boss room, advertise the shit out of her
>Set up item shop for adventurers
>Expand Spa for added revenue

Everything else being talked about is shooting the shit and planning for the future.

At least it is for me.
>>
>>332825
Ah I meant to say heals between every 10 waves. You are correct.
>>
>>332831
>>Set up Curi boss room, advertise the shit out of her
>>Set up item shop for adventurers
>>Expand Spa for added revenue
Add
>Give Lily a Magic rune
and
>Make a new Fancy Slime
and I'm good to go for now as well.
>>
>>332846
We could put the cook to work in the Spa. I don't think he's too busy for that.

>>
>>332856

I had completely forgot about them in all the talk about expanding to new types of monsters and environments.
>>
>>332846
>Give Lily a Magic rune and make a new Fancy Slime

Give Lily one Magic rune and one Cloth rune, so that she gets a spiffy cloak. Then add a Fist rune as soon as we get one.
Give Royal Slimeknight a Wood rune, so he can have a shield.
>>
>>332864
Yeah, they can make music runes. There has been propositions for putting them here and there in the dungeon to provide ambiance music (and probably prevent other adventurers from incapacitating our lesser slimes with one).
>>
>>332867
Do we need to upgrade our mini-boss? They are already pretty damn tough.
>>
>>332874
In the long term I'd say yes as we attract more and more powerful adventurers like the Golem, but for right now I'd say >>332867 is a bit much.
>>
>>332856
There have been a few neat room proposals too.

>Fake treasure room with hidden gold colored slime waiting to ambush like a mimic.
>Glass maze with slimes inside, one with a glowing key. Harder difficulty turns out the lights so the key is the only light.
>>
>>332880
Regarding the maze, I think it would be fun to add a siren slime too with another key or half of the key. That way they have to follow a light and a sound in the dark.
>>
>bathroom trap where the toilet is a mimic
>>
>>332880
I like these ideas. How about the Gold Slime actually sits in a Mimic then flees like a Crystal Lizard so the adventure has to pin it and kill it while being chased by the mimic who is delivering kung-fury to the back of their head. Both should hold some form of loot.
>>
>>332887
>The Chateau of Mimicry
>>
>>332891
>Call Dungeon the Chateau of Mimicry
>Everything has eyes and tongues carved into it.
>Not a single real mimic in the place.
>>
>>332898
>The Sign out front is the only Mimic on site and will follow the players until they meander into the boss chamber, close the door behind them and transform
>After killing him, the whole house comes alive as you try to escape
>>
>>332856
Most of what you expanded upon works for me. But we'll have to be mindful of our runes.

If we go through with Lily upgrades and an additional Royal Jelly slime, we will have spent a water magic and a fancy rune. Leaving us with one water and one fancy.

With this in mind, unless Curi produces a shit tonne of water runes in the next update, means that we will likely want to put the spa expansions on hold until the next party run, mainly because I figure most non Oilivia spa workers will be 3 rune varients.

I think we should spend the fancy and water runes on Curi's room, personally. It will leave the potential mob room incomplete, but I would rather a grandeous boss room, myself. Though if we want, we can roll with water for now, and use fancy on the shopkeep for the token shop.
>>
Magic items to create

Ruth's bat: wood rune and explosive rune, maybe dark rune. Knocks out one non boss enemy for remainder of fight

Oilivia's Towel: cloth, fancy, comfy. Gives wearer a feeling of a day at a spa, removes stress.

Tabard of the Order of Goo: cloth, metal, holy. Slowly regenerates health, gives a bonus to allies defenses.

Lily's Slimesword: sword, water, magic. User is able to cast Geyser once per day, strong against fire based foes.
>>
>>332978
Curi can spawn full slimes pretty much at will so long as we've seen it's type. We don't need runes to synthesize oil slimes if we want to populate the spa. We could also use our regular rune production slimes so long as we set them to npc status.
>>
So, if we decide to go a route that could end up with some adventurers avoiding the Super boss, maybe Mary should use some of those cloth runes and such to make herself some Dungeon Master suitable equipment, just in case?
>>
>>333060
To be fair, as long as they purchase some services we'll come out ahead.
>>
>>333061
I meant more in the fact that She might actually have to face to face with the Adventurers at some point. We've already done it once.
>>
>>333022
Well, admittedly, I thought that it was a matter of her only spawning them in combat. If she can do it out of combat that changes a few things.

Also, I was expecting us to not just use oil based employees. Though I suppose I was limiting it too much with slimes. We can have some plants, earth based creatures, a fire based creature, even a steam one, perhaps.

>>333076
I don't really like the idea of throwing Mary in yet until she learns more spells, and gets your previously mentioned items. Unless we have a bonnafide protection so that we don't get attacked.

>>332989
I love some of these items, not only for the shop, or in dungeons, but with our monsters as well. Especially with Lily's slimesword potentially casting geyser. Makes adding a magic rune to her just for that potential alone!

That said, some minor magical items would be wise too. Make something that is comparitively cheap, token wise.

Considering that Psionic should have three and we are unsure about Sorc and Golem. No confirmed coin collection
>>
>>333095
>I don't really like the idea of throwing Mary in yet until she learns more spells, and gets your previously mentioned items. Unless we have a bonnafide protection so that we don't get attacked.

Uh, yeah, thats why i said we should make some.
And even if she doesnt fight, mary Should at least look the part if shes going to be making any public appearances. I dont remember if she was trying to hide her identity or something, but it would probably help with that too.
>>
>>333140
Yeah, just figured I'd add spells to the list. Untapped resource there, if Mary is willing.

I don't think she was wanting to hide her identity, as far as I am aware. I think it was more for her own protection/awkwardness about her new situation.

Either way, we agree on the same points I think, but thats going to be something down the line.
>>
Are we already calling that thing in the basement "Lucy"?
>>
>>333162
nope. The thing's name is Jeffrey. We've called it Jeffrey ever since. VN be dammed.
>>
>>333162
>>333166
I suppose it depends on whether it ends up being a boy eldritch horror or a girl eldritch horror.

Ah, now she 's dead.

Huh... Reviews are good...

Oh my god! So much gold!

"Demonologist!"

"!?" The girl turns, startled, "Y-yes?"

"You did a great job! This is amazing!"

"Ah.... R-really? That's... Yes, well. I do have a lot of experience. And the dungeon is very nice. Really, it practically runs itself by now."

About the daki...

Ugh...

fine.

Sure.

I got this empty room for a store. So, if you guys have some ideas for some products and prices let me know. I'm thinking about setting it up by the spa.

No idea where to place the boss room, though.
>>
>>333302
Can you have the siren slime start duplicating like crazy? they could be useful as Background Ambient Music for our dungeon.
>>
>>333302
Place Boss room over cleric room and add fountain elevator into room?
>>
>>333302

Put it back in the main area, before the big nasty below. It encourages people to heal before going in, which nets us profit.
>>
>>333302
After RSK and Lily Slime would be a good place for a boss room. An extra room with treasure after that would be nice too.

Please upgrade Ruth with an extra water rune!
>>
>>333302
Logic dictates we put the shop in the same branch below as the spa.
Boss room is a third branch on the combat side of the dungeon.
>>
>>333302
>Also, never heard of that particular store.
What!? How could you not have heard of the 99c Store? It's the finest store that exists and your one stop shop for all your artifact and dungeon diving needs.
Just recently, the 99c Store had a sale where you could buy a 2000 Alm Gold Nugget for only 50 Alm! Interdimensional travel and custom fees may apply.

Also, Woo! We got the Daki! We also need the button, the dolls, the T-Shirt and the keychain.

And Lily Slime is perfect as she is. She's the most perfect.
>>
>>333302
>No idea where to place the boss room, though.
Either right above the miniboss room, or right below Curi's current room.
>>
>>333312

Spa is presently above the main room. I'd like to keep it there along with the shop. People won't want to buy things without first experiencing at least a little bit of the dungeon.
>>
>>333323
If she's so perfect, why does she need to fuse with RSK to beat someone? :^)
>>
>>333276
Hey, Lily, guess what? You've been promoted! And by promoted, I mean we're going to put a magic rune in you so you can be a magical slime princess! First thing, is to make your successor, so you won't need to create more fancy runes. (hears Lily's concern over lack of sweets for new job) Don't worry about that, Lily, we'll still be sending you snacks. The more important thing is that you and RSK have shown yourselves to be our most memorable fight in the Dungeon! And that deserves some recognition! Congratulations!
>>
>>333323
>And Lily Slime is perfect as she is. She's the most perfect.
But she could be more perfecter. She could be MAGIC.
>>
>>333334
>The more important thing is that you and RSK have shown yourselves to be our most memorable fight in the Dungeon!
This, Curi may be stronger once she's in her boss room, but Lily Slime Knight is definitely our most interesting monster.
>>
>>333332
Because fusion bosses are awesome.
>>
>>333323
What if she had bigger drills
>>
>>333349
So what you're saying is that her drills could be the drills that pierce the heavens?
>>
>>333302
Have Curi's boss room be attached to the central hub, put Jeffrey's room down a half floor while Curi's boss room placed above it. The trial doors will unlock Curi's boss room. And if adventurers somehow beat boss curi, they will get a key that opens the door to Jeffrey's basement.
>>
Big important question: When an adventurer picks up loot and then dies, do they get to keep the loot anyways, or is it returned to our coffers?

Likewise, do we have a way to make sure the tokens stick with the clients across death?
>>
>>333302
>>333313

Well, I kind of like this (>>333359). Maybe throw in a part where Jeffrey's basement only appears after the boss fight when the center section of the stairs drops in a dramatic fashion (or an ornamental fountain collapses into the ground to reveal the way.

Anyway, for Lily, the key to emphasize here is that for as much as she may be perfect, she should realize now how easily she can be put in danger. As more adventurers come to learn about just how dangerous she is, they'll be more inclined to attack her, which will put slime knight in danger.

Alternately, let her keep her ego. I really don't care. I'd much prefer we get a Water+Comfy+Fancy+Magic, Kind-Hearted Slime Wizard as opposed to blowing up her ego. Later on, we can build the new princess her own Knight, and they can be the second Prince and Princess pair.
>>
>>333302
Well, if Lily is fine the way she is, we can get her n older/younger sister some time later. Seems fine with me at least.

As for items we have some basic chotchskies. Like slime keychains(collect the set!), buttons with Bloops or Lily or Curi on them those could be a token, or two.

Daki can be something in the 10-15 token range.

I think the Slime Sword, which gives +1 strength, and has a percentage chance to ignore armour and its magical twin, the Slime Stave which grants +1 Int and allows the weilder to summon a lesser slime twice a day seem solid for 5-7 tokens.

Royal Slime Jelly, which upon consumption turns the user into a slime version of themselves for 8 hours, granting bonuses aganst blunt, fire and slight magic resistance. While still keeping their intellectual prowess is something in the 15-20 range.

I will come up with more later.

As for the boss room. Put it where Jeffrey's is. Have a key in Lily/RSK room and keep the lever system, adding one in Curi's room upon her defeat.

Feel free to debate what the prices are. And I would like an updated purchase and rune list with what we have done.
>>
Can we actually take a look at upgrading Mary herself? Maybe she can unlock new spells!
>>
>>333378
We'd need mana for that, and we've been busy converting things into things that aren't mana. Maybe once we get that royal tax collector branch of the dungeon set up?
>>
>>333372
>>333335

I think this is a good idea (>>333373). Let's make a new slime that's easier to deal with (making sure to throw in a comfy rune as well as magic). Jealousy over this new magical princess may later on encourage Lily to accept an upgrade. For now, though, I think it's fine to just give her a kind older sister. Keep in mind, Lily can't divide once she has magic (meaning we lose our way keeper clone in the Lily a Shit room.

>>333378
She needs more mana to learn spells through the librarian.

>>333367
Adventurers keep what they pick up, but otherwise lose all other gold they have on them and a copy of their items (as well as dungeon specific items like keys, but not tokens).
>>
>>333382
Aren't there other ways to gain mana? The King of Demons must've had a way to regain his mana and he was dead broke. Common sense tells us that resting restores mana, in which case Mary should have plenty now!
>>
>>333384
>(meaning we lose our way keeper clone in the Lily a Shit room.
I was never a big fan of that room anyway, I just never cared enough to argue against it, so losing wouldn't be that big a loss.
>>
Is there anyway to come up with magic or rune enhancement to our slimes to ward against the charming effect of equipment/magic like the siren slime the golem was using?
>>
>>333302
Don't forget to change the advertisement! We have a proper boss! Curi the Mother of Slimes!

To Lily: You saw how that bitch Golem slew you right? You may be perfect in your appearance but you're not strong enough. Even combined with your beloved and fused into a formidable 6-rune boss, golem still slew you. And that peasant sorcerer immediately went gunned you down like the dog he is when he entered the rune. So let me give it to you straight. You're perfect but weak. "we have a solution". If we infuse you with this magic rune, you'll have the power to fend for yourself, your beloved knight, and the power to destroy your enemies.
>>
>>333302
Don't mess with the Lily Slime if she doesn't want to be messed with. It's apparently unusual for a monster to act like a person, but she's totally within her rights to do so. I mean, you wouldn't be happy if someone tried to forcibly change your shape, would you?
>>
>>333393
I actually like the room, but it needs to be patched up a bit. I still think the food puzzle is the best option. It is cheap, and can keep Lily happy with free cake.

6 levers each has food in it 3 of them sweets, pull the right 3 levers and get rewarded, pull the wrong 3 and Lily triggers the explodeys.
>>
>>333413
Agreed. Lily slime is fine as she is.

Plus, we'd lose our supply of fancy if we add more rune to her.
>>
>>333439
HEY RETARD
WE CAN ADD MORE WATER AND FANCY
AND STILL HAVE HER SPLIT

READ THE FUCKING QUEST
>>
>>333439
>Plus, we'd lose our supply of fancy if we add more rune to her.
Wanting Lily to stay like she is a a valid opinion, not one I agree with, but it's totally okay to think like that.
This however is not a valid complaint, because the only thing we'd need to do is combine another Water and Fancy rune.
>>
>>333447
People are advocating for adding Magic.
>>
>>333439
That's why I suggested making her replacement first.

How about one more water or fancy rune, Lily? Don't you want to blast that guy straight into the ceiling with a geyser of slime? I know for a fact he'll return...
>>
>>333448
And what, create another Lily? What's the point in upgrading Lily if we're just gonna make someone to take her place? Wouldn't it be all around simpler if we just create a magical princess if we want a magical princess?
>>
OK, so let's just pull Lucy over to the side for a second, and try to make a convincing take on putting a single water or fancy in her. Maybe a bit of bribery for a large celebratory cake? An advertisement campaign promoting her? A cute princess-y dress?
>>
>>333459
People were suggesting earlier that since the result of rune fusing depends partly on intent (that's why both Slimes and Ice elementals are two water runes) that fusing another Water and Fancy could result in a different sort of Fancy Slime. The example they used was Yamato Nadeshiko.
>>
>>333393
>so losing wouldn't be that big a loss.
Wouldn't be that big a loss -to you.-
It would be a big loss to the people who like that room.
>>
>>333459
Yeah, but the new Magical Princess wouldn't have Lily's relationship with the RSK, which is the whole point.
>>
>>333373
Some other items I have thought up.

Sticky Shield- +1 Con, and a percentage chance that the opponent will temporarily get stuck, provoking an additional attack of opportunity for the weilder. Same price as the Stave and the Shield 5-7 tokens.

Slick Cowl: Grants a +1 wisdom bonus, and allows its user to cast Absorb Lesser Damage twice a day. Again, same price as Stave, Sword and Shield.

There are matching set bonuses for Sword and Shield and Stave and Cowl. To be determined when I think of some solid bonuses aside from the basic +2s

Gooey Gauntlet- +1 to Attack and +2 defense. Grants a bonus to grip checks. 5% fire resitance. This is something in the 10-12 range token wise.

I could keep going, and likely will when the thread is almost over. There are some other solud ideas someone else suggested>>332989 here, but maybe save those for our minions and possible boss drops, not the shop.

Also shirts should be about 2 tokens.

Not happening. Last thing I need is to become a demon.

Alright... Let's move the final boss room before that... Thing's room.

Now the players will need to get past a fully powered up Curi in order to even make it to the thing. And seeing as how Royal Slime Knight is already tough... I look forward to seeing how Curi works out.

Now, for Lily...

>She calls the slime over to her.

"Hey, Lily. How's it going?"

"-smug slime noises-"

"Great. I saw the video of the last run. You did an amazing job."

"-somehow more smug slime noises-"

"I think it's time for a promotion for you. We're gonna give you new powers." She leans in to whisper. "Magical powers."

"???"

"They'll make you better than perfect. And, you'll be able to better fight alongside the Slime Knight!"

"Mmm..."

"So, what do you say?"

"....." She nods.

"Great!"

>With her permission the Dungeoneer infuses her with another Rune. With the addition of Magic to her she becomes Magical Lily!

>She can no longer produce fancy runes but if she's given one more rune she can split. The slimes that split off of her can not be used to gain runes but can be used in battles or in the dungeon.

1/2
>>
>>333332
>>333334
Guys, have you even considered that making her a three rune monster would be complex enough that she can no longer fuse with the Royal Slime Knight?

Because that seems pretty probable to me.
>>
>>333477
We're still keeping Lily with RSK, you know. If we only put one rune in her, she'll count as a 7 rune fight when combined.

Actually, is there a way for a room to be used by two minibosses, or a pair of minibosses to be paired together?
>>
>>333503
That seems to me like it would be a perfect use for a boss room.
>>
>>333501
I think the strongest (ie. most complex) non-Jeffrey monster we can make, at least so far, is 7 runes, and that requires another upgrade.
But 7 runes is also how many Lily and RSK added together have now, so I think we'll be fine as long as we don't add anymore.
>>
>>333498
She's pretty cute, not going to lie. Wonder if she talks.

No need to add additional runes yet. Lets see how she fuses with RSK in battle before then.
>>
>>333511
>>333503
A reminder for anons, Curi is currently set up as our First "proper" dungeon boss. Any more attention/fusion to Lily and Slime knight and they'll be hogging the spotlight.
>>333498
Don't add additional runes to Lily. Make another fancy slime, AND MAKE IT A FANCY BUTLER SLIME TO SERVE LILY AND AS OUR FANCY RUNE GENERATOR.
>>
>>333498
KAWAIIIIIIIIIIAAAAGGGGHHARGLEBARGLBbleeeehhhh...

Can any of the staff draw? Let's see if we can make mangos to entice all the adventurers who are into that stuff.
>>
>>333503
Most games that's effectively what any dual boss is, as >>333511 mentions.
Either one separate is 90% of the time just strong enough for a midboss fight, but together it's nightmares all the way.

I've been thinking. Is there some way to increase the average monster limit? I can't imagine more powerful dungeons are limited to three rune minions and five rune bosses, or that they have every room a boss room and every enemy a 'boss'.
>>
>>333530
Yeah that works
>>
>>333530
Agreed, no need to add more runes to Lily. She is now perfect as she is. She is a member of the slime royal family now.
>>
>>333540
Actually I'm wondering what other dungeons are like in general. Like I figured that sticking to a "theme" is kind of a big thing, and most dungeons don't really try and include everything.
>>
>>333548
Also I would prefer a little sister to Lily. But perhaps another time. A butler is acceptable as well.
>>
Who is better girl though?
Curi or Lily?
>>
>>333548
>She is now perfect as she is.
She was perfect before, she's even even more perfecter now.
Maybe in the future she will become the most perfectest, but that is a dream for another day.
>>

>FANCY BUTLER SLIME
not
>FANCY MAID SLIME

Other then that, I agree.
>>
>>333567
>Not wanting a Gentleslime
>>
>>333540
well the way I see it, the idea of slimes fusing together to create a mega slime monster that breaks the room limits seems fitting to the theme of how a slime can easily grow out of proportion.
>>333567
Butler or maid I don't care! As long as it's a servant to the Royal Slime Family!
>>
>>333498
Can we send some staff on a field trip to other local dungeons? Seeing what other people are doing could be helpful. Magical Lily best slime!
>>
How will the Slime Knight react when we tell him Lilly only upgraded to be able to fight with him?

Make a maid, have it split into a bunch of copies, then have two rows of copies lining the entry hall to Curi's boss room. They bow as adventurers enter, and say stuff about "Her Highness, Lady Curi" being up ahead.

I don't think we used a fancy for anything, so we should still have two.

Now that that's done let's finally set up the shop...

>Mary puts some merchandise on the shelves. The Dungeon itself seems to create the items for her. When she asks how this is even possible the Demonologist says that the dungeon has a vested interest in keeping itself alive. A lot of what's possible is because it has a sort of will of it's own.

>Mary tries to ask more questions but Demonologist says that all that matters is that it works.

Alright, here's a few simple items...

>Daki, shirt, button, keychain, and the Royal Slime Jelly.

The prices...

I'm not sure on them. What do you guys think?
>>
>>333647
Skip the button, it's kind of a lie since nobody has ever survived.
>>
>>333647
Slime Knight Lily battle figurine, 10 tokens. Everything else seems reasonable.

Although I don't really know what the jar of vaseline is....
>>
>>333647
increase the keychain to 6 slime tokens.
>>
>>333656

It's Royal Slime Jelly.
>>
>>333622
...Mary.

Mary, this is important.

You need to infuse a rune into your crown.
>>
>>333647
That's super convenient!
We'd probably have made a shop first thing if we knew that was how it worked.
As for prices, I'd make the shirt 3 tokens. Just because I feel a shirt is more valuable than a keychain.

Where's the Mary daki?

>>333662
>Infuse a water rune into the crown

I GOT IT.

Instead of a separate slime butler and slime maid, how about a conjoined butler/maid slime? They're joined together at the bottom, where their feet/legs are, but from the waist up, they've got free movement.

Whaddya think?

>>
>>333654
Am I the only one who feels kind of bad about that? Like, we really should push that the final boss is more optional. I want people to come here, have a good time, and you know, at least a handful of them leave with something to show for it.

So far we've murdered and robbed every person who's stopped by. I'm not saying make the dungeon easy, but making Jeff more clearly optional might, IDK, make the casual-mid range audience we're catering to have a better time and stop back more. We're making bank on Plant cleric, we're gaining popularity, it really wouldn't kill us to find ways to profit off them just being here (IE plant cleric) without NECESSARILY murder-mugging them.

Also, can we seriously put in the difficulty option? Like, a button panel when they arrive.

Casual:
All rooms in current forms.

Combat:
All rooms go hostile (except plant cleric)

Make Peace with your God:
Plant Cleric hostile, boss after boss after boss, toss in some additional traps to the moat room, something to hold the far side. Maybe replace the rope with a couple narrow, slick walkways with defenders trying to push you off into the comfy slimes pit. Oilivia attempts to drown you in massage goo after you pay her. ETC.
>>330048
>>
>>333647
Before we start selling the daki, we should spend some time and effort making Demonologist known. Right now, unless she's running the shop, it's just a generic lewd pillow as far as the customers are concerned.

>Put a sign on the door to Jeffrey's room that says "Only death awaits you ahead. You may leave now with all you have collected. Only the powerful even have a chance to survive past this point."

We'll need to work up to that, later. Dungeoneer might, MIGHT be okay with posing for one, deeing as she took the pictures, but Librarian's going to need a lot of convincing, and Mary might do it through peer pressure.
>>
>>333696
It's not our fault everyone wants to fight the thing that they've been told will murderise them.

not necesarily, we can keep the button, but change the text to something else like "I survived 10 seconds against the final boss!"

>Also, can we seriously put in the difficulty option?
I kinda liked these options
>>332619
>>332627

I think the best way would be to make it drop on death. So if they die, they don't keep the button.
>>

These prices seem very fair. And some of these items can be snagged in an adventure or two.

>>333656
This figurine is a pretty solid idea. But we should wait and see the reformation hetween Slime Knight and Lily before we make it.

>>333683
This is also solid.

I still hope for basic magical items too, but we'll see what hiccups there, maybe its a cost issue.

Don't have a button. Have a greeter who opens the door for you. If you kill the greeter it goes to max difficulty automatically.

Also there's some ominous effect when max difficulty activates, regardless of how it happened. Things get darker for a moment, there's a noise like a distant roar, and the walls bleed slime.

Personally I think we should try to find more interesting drops. Right now we're only dropping gold and tokens that only buy vanity items.

Is it possible for our monsters (Curi in particular) to generate/drop something unique that actually has value for adventurers? Earlier we saw that Gnome had a pet slime. Perhaps we can give adventurers a pet slime as a rare reward/drop?
>>
>>333715
I like those too, less "make things easier or harder," and more "what kind of experience are you looking for?"
>>
>>333696
>>333750
Actually, maybe we could put bard slimes in the walls for that? They hum creepily, buffing the stats of all monsters and cancelling out slime-charmer effects.

>>333765
we have siren slimes anon. they provide the BGM, the boss music, and the ambience.

>>333715
>>332619
>>332627
Let's see...

>She pulls up the dungeon menu.

Yep, we can assign difficulty. We just can't change it easily. We can swap the difficulty of the entire dungeon just twice per run. This is to prevent us from making everything too unstable. Changing difficulty seems to be a rather involved process.

>>333656
Agreed on waiting. However, we could also capitalize on the fact that there are multiple iterations.

Hmm...

"Hey, Demonologist."

"Yes?"

"How do you feel about manning the store when the dungeon is being run?"

"M-me? Yes, of course boss! I will do my best."

"Great, thanks."

I think this is the turning point for the dungeon. We have a proper boss, a store to encourage more people to come in.

I don't see how you could fail at this kinda thing.

>>333761
Easily. Now that Curi is set up we can have her drop various prizes determined by us.

These prizes are also generated by the dungeon.

Let's add that neat slime sword idea to the store and... I think this is good.

Make an entrance to the spa from the front fountain room, lock the door to the cleric plant room from the spa, give cleric plant the key to the door, this will make our expensive spa available for anyone without risk and draw in more money to us, also make a locked secret passage from the spa to the staff area so staff can get in or out easy when there are challengers
>>
>>333799
From what I recall, the main ideas were a SLime sword, A slime swimsuit, and a mini pet slime, with a shitty drop rate to draw in those adventurers that absolutely need pets

I kind of don't want that. I want them to at least run an obstacle course before getting to the spa.
>>

It kind of defeats the purpose of boss drops if you're not going to have them drop anything special. Unless she can somehow produce items to go directly into a shop rather than an adventurer's hands after being beaten.

Though if that is the case we should see what Oilivia can do. She's technically a boss too, even if consensus seems to be to not use her for combat.
>>
>>333781
>I don't see how you could fail at this kinda thing.
Oh dear. You have no idea how a dungeon dies Mary, a dungeon dies when a party of adventurers comes up with a metagame plan executes it flawlessly, and then publish the strategy to the public. soon, you'll have more and more experienced adventurers clearing the dungeon and not dying, thus leaving us with less and less revenue to make improvements to the dungeon. And then we hit the threshold in which our generated revenue isn't enough to maintain upkeep since adventurers abuse the metagame to clear the dungeon without dying.

You could even make a lot of little color dyes and accessories for people who want their special slimeflake.

>Slime Swimsuit bonus: +1 Def, +25 Assets, -25 Modesty, +10/15? Slime Resist. Comes in unitard, bikini, trunks and SPEEDO varieties.
There's nothing preventing adventurers from wearing the swimsuit underneath their armor, except that it may be a bit more... snug.

I'd at least add Ruth's Bat to the list, as a two handed option, as well as Oilivia's Towel.
>>
>>333841
We could offer a secret passage to the spa for members only, then add a spa club card into the shop pool.
>>
>>333855
I'm all for membership cards!
>>
For the next boss monster we should create a giant suit of armor out of Metal runes, and put it in a room filled with 1-rune slimes.

As soon as adventurers enter the room, the slimes all swarm into the armor and animate it. The armor itself is hard to destroy, but some of the slimes fall out whenever an adventurer lands a good hit on it. You have to kill as many slimes as possible before they can get back inside, and the armor gets weaker as more slimes are defeated.
>>
>>333855
That was more for Curi's boss drop pool. But those sound good. Membership cards, man
>>
>>333781
If we have a store, why add food to it?

Deep fried slime, frozen slime pops, bubbly slime soda...
>>
>>333864
>>333855
>>333869
Nah, not membership cards. How about Voucher tickets? Collect and turn in 10 tickets and get a free spa treatment!
>>
>>333839
That was one of the many suggestions for item fluff.

I liked the crown secreting slime and offering charisma bonuses/negatives. But we can make it worth it.

>>333854
I wouldn't mind adding some of the other simple items i.e the stave, shield, cowl, etc. So that people don't feel cheated getting the sword after buying it at the store.

Oh, hold on... Someone's entering the dungeon..?

That was fast.

>Mary checks her screen. The display warns her that a high level party is entering. With a few taps she is able to view the first room.

Oh boy...

"Alright, team!" The Warrior shouts, "Remember the plan! Go in, win, and kill the final boss!"

Well, this will be interesting.

I think that having a dungeon bypass to get to the spa as a part of a membership card would be nice. Maybe we can reorganize the dungeon (raise a bridge, align tiles, etc) to just let them walk up to the spa and get their relaxation on.

Thanks Larro, it was the first chapter I've had time to actually participate (3am here for me) and it was wonderful fun. See you in two weeks.

Motherfucker better not Punch Olivia. I swear to god, m8. Otherwise, good to see the crew back and together. I'm looking forward to see how they fare now that we have our shit a little more together.

>>333876
We'll get you out of here someday, Mary. In the meantime, can we try and figure out a way to bring the staff out off the dungeon with us? As it stands, when Mr. Bones comes back to claim his super cool dungeon that he totally owns, all the friends we've made here risk being fired, which means they'll disappear forever. Pretty Bad-End imo.

Also, awwww shiiiiiit. Raid Party. Everyone man their stations!

>>333876
Oh man, this is going to be awesome! Terrifying, but awesome!

What I am looking forward to is the team dynamics. Do you think that Warrior will make it past the moat this time?

Time to see what a boss monster in a boss room can do.

Also looking forward to who does what. I know Warrior will want the sword. Wizard and Scion might like the spa. Bulk Mage will love the boss fight. And I can't wait to see how Magical Lily does too.
>>
>>333919
Nobody wanted a Hero Roster, remember?
Absolutely everyone no one.

>Also they're way more than the recommended party size!
I thought 5 people WAS the typical party size?
>>

I look forward to it. I will try to contain myself for the two weeks or so.
>>
>>333923
We should try to get closer to our regulars. Would be wonderful to know them on a first-name basis and to be able to give them beta access to new and risky dungeon features.

A lot of businesses basically run on their regular clients.
>>
>>333876
>No healer
Cleric gonna make a lot dosh.
>>
>>333939
That is if Bulk mage doesn't immediately enters kill on sight mode when he sees plant cleric.
>>
>>333935

Speaking of which I wonder if implementing some sort of leaderboard with a scoring system or achievement system for completing encounters in a certain way would be a good idea?

Most practical-minded people won't pay attention to them, but there are a lot of other people who live for those types of things. We could even lock special vanity items behind said achievements.
>>
>>333939
This might just fund the beginnings of Floor B1, especially if Cleric Plant isn't aggroed immediately so he can actually sell his healing services.
>>
>>333944
I think we Npc'd Cleric since then. If Bulk Mage manages to start a fight though the whole party will be in for a rough time.
>>
I think it would be a good idea to talk with them before their run.
It's possible they were spurred on by Golem's review, and as >>333935 mentioned getting to know your regulars is important.

>>333944
Bulk Mage attacked Cleric because s/he was still marked as a fighter and automatically targetable. They now are not.

>>333950
There's been a few ideas with that very specifically in mind, like a room where you're challenged to kill as many low level slimes as possible in five minutes, with a ranking posted next to the activation lever.
>>
>>333952
>B1
>Not 2
Should we build up or down?
Up = more to the Citadel
Down = potentially the dungeon beneath
>>
>>333955
If Bulk Mage even goes for Ms Bloops, I'm switching the difficulty to END OF THE LINE.
>>
>>333959
If we move up, it means more slimes, slime themed puzzles, and slime bosses, like the armor full of slimes someone mentioned.
If we move down, then we can start making new, non-slime monsters, and put more content between the start of the dungeon and Jeffrey.
It's up to what the majority wants to shoot for first.
>>
>>333959
Lets see what we get from the adventuring party harvest, gold, runes, items and what not. Then we shall decide if we want to expand up, down, or out.
>>
>>333961
We just straight up send them to the end boss. Fuck them if they touch Bloops.
>>
>>333978
That's what End of the Line is.

>>332619
>>332627
>>
>>333969
I'm thinking we first move up and complete the citadel keep. Having more varied slimes that duplicate themselves will give us more runes to play with in making non-slime monsters.
>>
>>333958

The slime-killing room sounds good, though there could also be some other ones related to unconventionally defeating bosses or encounters.

Some examples I can think of off the top of my head are killing all the bosses within 10 seconds of each other, or something like completing the dance segment with (X) number of comfy slimes attached to each participant without having any comfy or slime-negating equipment.
>>
>>333935
Agreed. We will make this fun, profitable and we can hopefully cater to everyones needs as we grow.

>>333944
We did npc cleric. We should NPC Oilivia, Bloops and Demonologist as well. Just to be safe.
>>
>>333991
>The Twins, Slimulus and Goomus
>Will simply reform unless their two half-cores are destroyed in both bodies within a few moments

Upgrading the Librarian into an Archiver would be great for getting new kinds of runes, too.
>>
>>333781

Most dungeons don't have an invincible killing machine in the basement, Mary. That thing's been carrying us the whoooole way.
>>
>>333994
>and Demonologist
We should make sure all our non-monsters are NPCs.
And can the Dungeon Master be an NPC? If so Mary should make sure she's one too.
>>
>>333978
To be fair. Psion is there. So that may help, who knows?
>>
>>333997
I do want to see some sort of Electric Metal Slime if we ever get Lilly's Gladiatorial Arena set up.
>>
Just what are we going to award them if they actually beat the thing in the basement?
>>
>>334013
All the EXP that *thing* had and a statue of them in the courtyard.
>>
>>334013
They can take the head back to the guild to mount it, obviously.
>>
>>334013
That things definitely a boss, so it will almost certainly drop something on it's own that's better than anything we could offer at this point.

We should make a Sailor Fuku and send it down there, see if it puts it on.

>>334072
>At present, he's just a floating point that got stuck in a room and never assigned
So does that mean if he dies, he'll respawn in the main hall?
>>
>>333828
Maybe charge extra a bit then for the front entrance? Having an obstacle alienates anyone who can't into adventuring, and unless the majority of the people in the world are adventurers, that is just silly from a business perspective.

No.
Unassigned monsters permadie.

>>334093
Oh right, didn't that (almost) happen on one of the first runs?
>>
>>334089
I believe that is the intention for the mini slime core.
>>
>>334096
Actually, yeah. Ms. Bloops was unassigned, but wound up in the fountain.
>>
>>333876
Oh shit!
>>
>>334102
I like how we don't even make Ms. Bloops do anything. She's allowed to play in the fountain all day by virtue of seniority.
>>
>>334096
Ms Bloops was in the fountain without being assigned to the dungeon during Psion's run.
Her not getting permadeath is why we gave out the first token, and (one reason) why Psion is best girl.
>>
>>334107
She makes runes. I think... Otherwise her job is to be cute and the best (don't tell Lilly).
>>
You know, we were panicking before due to adventure numbers, but I actually think this will be interesting just because the dynamic is a little off. Communication is going to be key, and I expect some fumbles. In all honesty I expect the moat could even be problematic for this group. Provided the catapult dumps them into the moat.

It will be interesting to see their collective teamwork.

Nonsense. Explodey and Demo are the best girls.

Right. The curse can be removed by Demo for a fee.

Cursed Slime Crown

Turns the wearer into a slime monster version of themselves, preventing slimes from attacking. However, the crown cannot be removed from the wearer without a Remove Curse spell cast on them. The slime version of the wearer retains their memories and items.

Yeah, that's a bit much...

I'm a bit more a fan of >>332989's idea for Lily's Slimesword, especially if we add a fire based dungeon underneath, like we're hinting at a new section that'll come later.

Also, can we quickly make one with the shop's Slime Sword, and give it to Lily as a drop for Knight?
>>
>>334421
Too much.
>>
>>334447
It was half idea for cursed loot/half idea for Jeffrey loot
If he goes down, he's gonna drop some crazy powerful shit
>>
We should add children's drawing of Curi playing with little slimes on Curi's loot table so heroes feel bad when they kill her and instead will take the non-lethal route.

The drawing should also say "we love you mom."
>>
>>334474
Why? What does it matter if they kill her?
>>
>>334474
>Fucking with adventurers emotions after they defeat the end boss
What the fuck man, that's so dickish
I love it, let's do it
>>
>>334447
Agreed. The Lily Slimesword is a really awesome item. And I hope that is the rare drop we use for when Lily/RSK becomes a real thing.

Kinda hope that the Curi boss battle will inspire us to create something similarily cool and themed for her.

>>334395
That passive ability when uncursed was kind of what I thought we could see when the Slime Crown was paired up with other items as we go along. Still think it could secrete slime, of course, because it would be funny and would probably create a fun dilema for non min/maxers. That and the reveal once a full set was made would be hilarious.

>>334474
I suppose it would be interesting. But that implies that the Boss battle has a non-lethal route. I don't know if that's the case right now. Could be neat flavour text, which could be fun for our expanding universe though. Who knows?

Did we make the fancy slime servant before the adventuring party entered? Which one did we make? the butler or the maid?
>>
>>336777
Nope, we were going to wait for one more rune to make both versions.
>>
>>336816
Why not make it both? Splash it with cold water for the maid form and hot for a butler slime?
>>
>>336822
We only have one water rune, we can't make both right now.
>>
>>336822
Double the rune creation rate, I suppose, plus Larro's designs are too cute to pick only one.

I mean, the butler's got a bow-tie.

And the maid has a lacy headband.

Why WOULDN'T you want both?
>>
>>326520
a mirror slime? if we ever get a mirror rune we can give it a try.
>>
>>336870
Nah man just make it a servant slime that we can adjust how it looks based on the temp of the water we splash it with.
>>
>>336950
I'll be honest. I would much rather have a butler and maid slime, if only because they make great future NPCs that we multiply ad naseum to give lore and tips to adventurers.

The Ranma idea is cute, but the idea of increasing fancy production and utilizing them as NPCs/potential slime waves is more rewarding to me.

Also, creating a list of items to make in the future, as drops or store items is really fun. Probably won't post them until next thread time. Just hope that we make sure magic users aren't hosed in the future. Seeing as the store doesn't have anything that I see the mages wanting. Unless they like the Royal Jelly and surprise me.
>>
>>329802
I've waited so long for this moment. It is as glorious as I imagined.

Why don't we give that sword rune to the knight?
>>
>>337291
slime knight already has a sword rune in him.
>>
>>337310
Obviously. I mean double sword runes. Get an epic blade thing going on. Edgier armor too, probably.
>>
>>337328
that pufs slime knight into boss 5-rune class monster not miniboss class.
>>
>>337328
First we should make Sword Slimes and Armor Slimes (using metal runes) to actually get a steady source of the runes going (and build up the royal guard).

Plus yeah, boosting RSK any more means we need to blow another 500G just to use him in the dungeon.
>>
>>337328
While cool, I think we have a good thing going with Lily/RSK. In the future, they will be a great boss as they are right now. As stated before, we don't want to detract from Curi.

Besides, we could do what you suggest with another knight in the future. Make him captain of the guard, and he makes a suitable boss in the future.

>>337350
This too. Better long term potential on sword and armour slime generation. And saves the 500 for now, as we're likely looking to start with some smaller rooms to help add combat and a puzzle or two in the future.
>>
>>337361
>>337350
We can use the Sword Slimes, Armor Slimes, Wizard Slimes, and Psion Slimes to great effect in acting as the Royal Family's Slime Army as well as a meat grinder gauntlet for Adventurers.
Invest in a few large rooms, decorate said rooms with a wood Rune to simulate outdoors and BAM! Fight against Slimecrown's mighty Slime army!
>>
Are there any games about dungeon management?
I want to play something like that
>>
>>337385
I hear Audit Quest is a good one, maybe you should check it out.
>>
>>337367
I feel like we should probably start investing in some more 3 rune monsters soon. Much as I love the little monsters, I wonder if we could see to adding a bit more beefy qualities. I mean, I expect Lily to improve a lot in her boss battle just with the addition of a magic rune.

And now that I think about it, her being magical now could help that puzzle room a bit. Maybe instead of dropping explodeys on the party for failure. She can just summon a horde of slimes to attack the party. If they beat the horde, they win the key. Means that adventurers like Sorcerer have an additional way of getting the key there.

It's something to think about at least.

Also.
>simulate outdoors
I still feel like we should ask Mary if Builder can do outdoor rooms, or if we can hire someone to do that. Would be much more organic.

That said, we should definitely add wood and stone runes to the spa to create a more relaxing atmosphere.

But I'm also worried we're putting the cart before the horse on that boat as well, now that we're running into 5 player parties.

Dungeon Keeper is the quintessential one, so I'm told. Dungeons/Dungeons II is also an option, though I've been told it's not the greatest.

We'll have to spend some gold to get the slime types we need for the rooms that are essentially meat grinders. Water Bottles for Water Runes, Swords and Metal for the Armor and Sword Runes, to provide the materials necessary for the Slime Army.

>>346155
Too popular. He should get audited.
>>
>>346199
He hasn't released any financial statements, so unless you're proposing we double-check the rune, mana, and gold expenditures over the course of the quest we've got nothing to audit.

Audits are fundamentally something that requires the cooperation of the audited entity, be it because they want to be audited or because you have the law behind you.
>>
>>346236
Then audit the runes that larro has introduced so far to see if he has released unauthorized runes in ALL of his quests. Even all the way back to the Hero Rena quest!
>>
>>346494
I have no definition of what constitutes authorization to release a rune, what constitutes a release of a rune, or what standard we are using to determine if an unauthorized rune release is material breach of accepted conduct.
