Teaghan spent a long time watching and adding little changes to her dungeon and completely anything that she had forgotten about when problems had popped up.

The first thing that Teaghan did was add loot to all of the creatures and monsters living in her dungeon. Most of the loot that was added were part of or made the creatures, like a pelt from a rabbit or a claw from a tree lynx. She also added the chances to get coins. The copper bit was the most common coin with a good percentage of turning up, then the iron bit would have half the percentage than the copper bit. Then the gold bits have an extremely low percentage rate of popping up, like 0.01 to 0.1 percent of the time, depending on the floor and the creature’s level.

When Teaghan was just relaxing and watching the ecosystem of her floors, she realized something. The food chain and ecosystem were off. There were not enough numbers of prey to sustain some of the larger creatures and monsters. This revelation led Teaghan to realize something. She forgot to add spawn points to a good portion of beings within the dungeon.

The next thing that Teaghan focused on was spawning points. For some of the creatures, plants, and monsters, Teaghan forgot to add spawn points on their floors. She spent hours placing dens, nests, spawning areas for these beings and setting them to spawn more if the level of beings associated with the spawn point dropped. It would produce more at a constant number.

Teaghan, after fixing some of the things that she forgot to do, decided that it was time again to experiment, and she had the perfect material to do her experiments with, the water crystals. The water crystals offered Teaghan the ability to have an isolated area with running water to do experiments in.

Teaghan placed three rooms close to the fourth floor, about 12 cubic metres in volume. She built small tunnels, just enough to allow water to come through and fill those rooms. When she connected the tunnels to the aquifers and the experiment rooms, Teaghan waited until the water-filled up half of the room before cutting off the streams of water into the rooms.

Next, she created and placed a standard of five mana stones in all of the rooms. Teaghan decided that at this time, she would not experiment with the amount of mana stones and instead of mixing it with other elements. As done in 2 of the 3 rooms. Anyways, Teaghan got back to the experiment rooms and added a couple of new environmental changes.

In, what she labelled underwater experiment room #1, Teaghan decided to make a different environment than what she already had. Remembering one of the first outside objects that she received from the last invaders, a lantern of fire had a small output fire rune on it. And she was able to replicate that rune, so Teaghan placed ten of the fire runes above and below the waterline. Creating an extremely warm environment in the water and a steamy environment out of it. Next, Teaghan added and placed sun coral around the five water crystals. She then placed cave crayfish, trahira, teleost, vixen stingrays, and armoured cavefish into the water. The next idea that Teaghan had, but she thought it probably wouldn’t work, was to add a tree into the water and see if it would forcibly evolve. So, keeping with the design of this experiment room, Teaghan added fully grown dragon trees across the room.

Teaghan left experiment room number one and went to work on the underwater experiment number two. In this room, Teaghan placed 20 more water crystals to see if the increase in water mana could change any of her creatures. As she was using more water crystals instead of runes to experiment with water mana. In this room, she placed tape grass close to the 25 water crystals. The creatures that she added are trahira, toothpick fish, kuhli loach, vulpin stingray, and armoured crayfish. Teaghan also grew kudzu vines from the wall over the water. She hoped that this would work out, as if it did, then it could potentially be a great trap.

Teaghan went to work in the underwater experiment room number three. This room Teaghan placed light crystals throughout the room. She then added a mixture of sun coral, tape grass, and waterwheel plants throughout the room. Teaghan also placed lightning bat flowers right at the waterline, hoping to force an evolution. She then added trahira, toothpick fish, teleost, kuhli loach, vulpin stingrays, and cave crayfish into the room.

When Teaghan was finished with all three underwater experiment rooms, she sat back and watched the rooms. What she really wanted with these rooms was to force evolutions and changes into these beings that would typically happen on a floor or with a specific biome. She also hoped to create water aligned versions of dragon trees, kudzu vines, and lightening bat flowers.

As Teaghan was watching and observing her new experiment rooms, she felt a group enter her dungeon. This made her tense and become very wary because of what happened with the last delvers that tried to invade her.

But something strange happened as they entered her entrance. The female elf pulled out a bowl and poured a clearish white and shiny liquid into it. She set the bowl down on one of the flat rocks and said, “Hello, dungeon spirit. Take my offering as a sign that we come in peace. We do not wish your core any harm.”

‘Well, that’s surprising,’ thought Teaghan at the surprising event. ‘I wonder if they are offering me this gift to bribe me into not going for the kill. Well, I guess I will leave the dungeon in its normal mode with invaders and not the kill all with potential core stealers.’

Teaghan relaxed a bit at what the group did. To Teaghan, it felt as if they were giving her respect and deference to her … what did the group call it … ah yes, the dungeon spirit.
