And the first floor of the dungeon is almost done! I sat down and made a map for it. I still need a second entrance off of January 27... But maybe this is level 2, and I can stick an easier level up top, or it has a portal that leads to another dungeon, or something.

For a wandering monster table, use the following:

1-3: Demon from Between the stars (Feb 7)
4: Room Jan 31 (Yes its a wandering monster)
5: Void Wyrm (Feb 10)
6: A Pudding

I'm noticing a few trends:

There are a lot of elder things in here
This dungeon seems to be designed as some sort of test
I need to figure out what the animal motif is and what it means
This dungeon has a strong connection to a wizard named Polriket and his foes. Polriket probably built the dungeon, no doubt for some nefarious purpose. I'm torn if his enemies found in the dungeon should all be connected into adventuring parties or not.

I feel like this is the draft of a dungeon, and I could stand to go back and tweak some things. I'm also getting the urge to run a group of PC's through to see what's too hard and what's too easy... which is a good thing, I suppose! I look at it and think "This is a grueling delve", but most my DF experience is at 125 points: 250 points is a very different game!
