Long Stair Dungeon Style Zones part 2

Arg! Parents sick at xmas from illness, missed seeing Hobbit with mom. When i did catch up they had seen it. She seemed more impressed than earlier films or possibly got used to Jackson style. Spiders she thought were not as cool as they should be. Dad thought it had no story but liked clothes (not really a fantasy fan). So when we did catch up saw life of Pi which was a pretty attractive film. Read Non Stop by Brian Aldiss which was a big influence on metamorphosis alpha. A quick read and pretty amazing for first book and for when it was written. Any way more long stair stuff for now.

Redbrick Zone

Non-sentient species dwell here like carrion crawlers, trappers, piercers, stirges and others. This zone is extensive and continues to the gates of several other nations. Areas cleared are rapidly altered and changed but nobody has seen how this happens. Despite traps personnel report the rewards are worth it and the combat with non-sentient xenofauna is refreshingly impersonal. Traps probably the biggest killer here, usually include a distraction such as loot or enemies. Sentients here seem to be adventuring for treasure too or hunting for dungeon food. Many monsters just keep the floors clean of scraps. The area is mostly unlit but torches and candles seem refreshed by somebody. Kobolds popular choice to blame for renovations, traps and light sources. Tables here might be handy too: http://elfmaidsandoctopi.blogspot.com.au/2012/12/dungeon-dwellers-little-guys.html
