Chapter 17

Tacca spent the next few weeks creating more tunnels and rooms with Carve Earth, until she had three more spaces that she could utilize for her dungeon; one was 20ft X 30ft and 30ft tall, another looked like a long hallway 20ft wide (as well as tall) and 100ft long, and the last was a small 15ft cube that would be her initial room to her dungeon. When she got closer to the surface, she could detect with startling certainty how far away it really was; her last room – rather, it was the Raiders’ first – was only a dozen feet away from the outside, which was located a little above its position. For some reason it almost felt like she had perfectly placed her last room in the side of a hill, because she was able to get fairly close to the surface, which was both above and ahead at that point.

Shale had been surprisingly supportive, even if he didn’t approve of her original choices; then again, there wasn’t much use in being negative because he was stuck with her, so that could’ve been the case too. Regardless of the reason, he approved of her room shapes and tunneling, as well as her caution about opening up too early.

“Good, you don’t need to open it yet; from what I’ve learned, Raiders tend not to appreciate an empty dungeon that opens up. You need to put some creatures and traps in here beforehand; don’t forget to put some deadly ones, as well – if you can afford it, at least.”

The one thing that Tacca hadn’t mentioned was her outrageously shortened Countdown; she hadn’t thought of any reasonable explanation for it yet that might make sense, and that – more than anything about her – was different enough to raise some questions. She knew that it would come up eventually, especially when she removed all of the small Confusion traps she had all over her rooms – which, strangely enough, he hadn’t mentioned…or perhaps even noticed. The 497 Experience – actually 512 now with her additional rooms she had built – on his Countdown would drop down to 15 when she removed them; he couldn’t “save” any Experience until his year was up, so he would certainly notice those fluctuations…if he was paying attention.

She might be able to get away at the end of her third month by proclaiming it her year being up already, but the next month would be…difficult. Not only that, but when she was able to use more Dungeon Force than normal, as well as her Control Limit being higher than normal…well, she had no explanation for that. Shale didn’t seem like he was exceptionally intelligent, nor did he seem stupid; regardless of his smarts, though, Tacca just hoped that he wasn’t observant enough to add everything up. She herself was obsessed with numbers and strategic planning, so it came naturally to her, but she knew not everyone was like that.

When all of the rooms and tunnels between them were built, that’s when she started to decorate.
