9 Planning out Constrictor (1/2)

After getting used to Briggs' accent, I started to understand him normally. My mind began to ignore the accent altogether as if he didn't have one at all.

”Given the criteria, I think 'Constrictor' would be your best bet. As you can see from this sketch, it's a pretty simple layout. We place the rooms at the front and end of the dungeon, with the 3 hallways forming one giant corridor. With this layout, you can reduce the amount of space that intruders have while also increasing the density of the mobs in the dungeon”, Briggs said.

”We can also make the first room a rest area if we wanted to, right? If the hallways are filled with monsters in such a tight space, we can force the intruders to stay in the rest area longer. Then, once we get more DP, we can add more complex paths to the dungeon. We could even expand the rest area so we maximize the amount of DP that we can gain!”, I said.

”Impressive, lad. You catch on quick. I can see you are going to go far in the Dungeon World! Since the hallways are 100 feet long and 50 feet wide, we can have a 300-foot long corridor to house the mobs. It's also wide enough to fit in any traps or mobs that we want to use against intruders. The rooms that we have right now are only 50 x 50, or 2500 square feet. Once we get on our feet and start earning more DP, we need to upgrade the important rooms to 100 x 100, or 10,000 square feet. I can also build the stairs that will lead to the Dungeon Core room on the 2nd level so we save DP on buying one. Once we make the stairs, we can just place the room next to it. Good thing the dungeon is built to be modular! Hahaha!”, Briggs said.

As we walked back to the dungeon, I saw Briggs continued to make the floor plan for 'Constrictor'. I saw him writing symbols, potential expansions, and personal architect notes on his paper. He was even drawing multiple versions of the initial layout with different modifications and mobs. Judging from what he was writing, it was clear that he was an expert at architecture planning.

”We can replace the entrance doors once we finish 'Constrictor'. We'll also need to upgrade the basic walls, floors, etc. once we finish since they only come as basic prefabs. Especially since these are only DM 1 prefabs as opposed to DM 5 or 6”, Briggs said.

”This seems like a considerable amount of work, Briggs! Are you sure you want to help us?”, Orai said.

”Stop asking the obvious questions and promise me you'll build a bar outside of the dungeon! Whether you decide to be an evil dungeon or a good dungeon, building a bar outside wouldn't be a horrible idea!”, Briggs said.

As we walked inside the dungeon and closed the doors, I decided to ask Orai and Briggs advice about choosing the Dungeon's morality going forward.

”If I wanted to be an OP Dungeon, would I need to be a good dungeon or an evil dungeon? Morality isn't an issue as much as the projected power I could have. I want to be as strong as possible”, I said calmly.

As Orai and Briggs began to mull it over, Briggs decided to speak first.
