[indent][indent][indent][indent][indent][color=cccccc]The months stretch by leisurely as you watch the halls form around you, satisfied with the direction you enforce upon the imps. Tunnels become chambers, chambers become furnished - sparsely - by what spoils you can rustle up, most of which provided by Zaz'ak's discovery of the wagon all that time ago. Krieg's maze stretches into the darkness, threatening to tear future invaders from their comrades. Darc's slime imps wander around the hallways, scooping up loose stones and slowly dissolving them so as to leave no trace on the world outside. Baganaria mysterious cocoons still linger in the silent minion room. As construction draws to a close - for now - you finally have a moment to take stock and relax. Phardax even manages to keep his prisoner alive in his quarters all this time.

You relax in your newly built Sanctum, staring at the meagre hoard you have claimed with satisfaction. It would be a shame for it to go to waste, and it has been a long time since you let loose. There will be plenty more treasures and splendour in your future, as newly minted Dungeon Lords, so why not live a little? Building your hoard will take time, but a freshly built Dungeon is something to celebrate.

You splurge as Krieg claims a great [i]valuable[/i] item from the hoard with a mighty roar and the revelries of the night begin! Hard work can wait till the morning, you have so many schemes and plots to put into action, mad creations to build and challenges to overcome.

All stress is cleared - [b]reset your stress to 0.[/b]

Please narrate your loot rolls as part of your post if you haven't done already, whether that's Revelry or discovering a new item in the hoard:
[indent][indent][@Kenshi] - Success. Draws a [i]Valuable Item: Bloodstone[/i], let me know if you decided on something else.   
[@VeyrinDay] - Mixed Success, Gain 1 Gold or spend it on Revelry instead
[@Dark Cloud] - Mixed Success Gain 1 Gold or spend it on Revelry instead
[@POOHEAD189] - Failure - You enjoy some revelry, gain a dark heart. If you already have 2 Dark Hearts, you instead overdo it![/indent][/indent]

And with that, we are entering the [b]Lurking[/b] phase, which means you can start working on your first Downtime Project! You can do things like build traps/rooms, craft potions, work on rituals or break a prisoner's spirit for information. Check the OOC for a [b]full list of options[/b] and let me know there what you choose. 

[@VeyrinDay] I know you and [@Dark Cloud] were talking about recruiting minions, you can do that now! You can contact your Vile Friend or even stumble across a roving band of minions, just remember you must pay 1 gold to enlist them under your banner.
