Sharp pain coursed through his chest, he remembered drowning, gasping for air and then an eternity of pain in the void, maybe he died and this was his second life, another chance in another world, he missed his cranial implant, knowing everything as soon as he thought to ask was so convenient that even an hour without already had him chewing rocks and gritting his teeth in frustration.
Gathering the tribe took only a few minutes, the chirps and calls running through the tunnels were familiar even when he didnt know what they were saying, a few dozen reptilian humanoid armed with picks and spades, looking them over gave him a list of meaningless stats and skills, he chose the one with highest wisdom to be his shaman and the one with highest agility to be the Wurm rider, not sure which of the other two to give to which of his Kobolds he left it for another day.
"We have enemys in our warren", Allen said, "I want to capture as many as I can", he gestured with his hands as if they were tied, "to understand why they came here", the other Kobolds nodded and grunted when he divided them to five groups of seven and another group of six that he lead himself.
"I think we should trap them at the east tunnel", he examined the map that popped before his vision at a thought, "before the wurm farm", his hands were waving empty air as he pointed points on the map only he could see, "two teams can open a tunnel from this wall", he traced one of the walls, "and the team with the shaman will wait here in ambush", he circled a room that didn't exist yet, "then the group with the wurm rider can close in on their escape", he pulled a line across the east tunnel, "and we demand their surrender".
"Your job", he looked at one of the team leaders, "is to delay and draw them towards the east tunnel", he traced a line from where the system marked the intruders, running through the central cavern and away from their living spaces and magic rocks.

Not sure if it was a lot or not he tried to check his gold balance, finding that he had a little over twenty million gold he figured the thirty two thousands weren't much and simply approved the demand.
The earth shook for a minute after he approved the payment and his map of Kobold Warren changed the lines he drew became walls and doors.

Not sure what most of the items even meant Allen decided to go exploring, it was when he reached the east tunnel and saw how the changes were arranged that he realised all his hand waving and lines in the map were considered editions in the Kobold Warren complex.
The new map of the whole area was made of broken lines and half circles which he realised made it perfect to mess with and trap "players" when his Kobold tribe lead them on a wild chase.
He and his team entered the room with the hidden door to wait and ambush the players when they entered the area, meanwhile Allen started checking out the map he was looking at, with it being an editor he could use to make other changes and maybe even add another floor it seemed like he had a lot to do in this new life he got.
