"Oh, hum." The dwarf didn't seem very interested in most of Zoppy's wares. The dagger was of subpar worksmanship--plus, dwarves weren't very particular towards them either. The dirt seemed. But something did catch his eye. A faint glisten as he looked over the rocks that Zoppy had prepared.
"Er, uh. Methinks I'll take this!" The dwarf said with a cough--stifling something that his instincts picked out. "This should be enough to cover it." The dwarf placed three brown coins of an indeterminate alloy in front of Zoppy.
Of course, any sort of negotiation had ended abruptly when a half-dozen needles flew and struck the dwarf.
"A-ambush?!" The dwarf immediately called out as he swung his fist indiscriminately. Zoppy wasn't hit--the extra bone blades and wooden fist struck the dwarf down before. He was still alive, but those strikes had disoriented the now-poisoned dwarf into being unable to hit the small goblin merchant.
Those worries ended quickly and unceremoniously. The sound of ripping. The dwarf's head simply disconnected from its body. But the astute would notice something rather peculiar:
The rock that the dwarf had purchased was gone.

The rats easily disarmed the hero, who had dropped the blade. It wasn't without casualty, though. As it turns out, gnawing on one fist made it quite easy for the hero to strike and punch with the other. But it was buying time and a panicked hero of that level couldn't slay a rat in such a hurried panic.
And the rats, with their bestial senses, could hear the tearing easily. Another head flew without ceremony.

Zogi's attempt on the mage sent the elf to the ground. It was a brutally violent struggle. Despite being a monster, he still struggled to plunge the knife in deeper as the elf mage gripped it in response. The struggled grunts only ended as a magic missile flew and struck the mage, partially blasting Zogi. The intertwined mage and goblin rolled from the blast, but the mage's grip was weakened and Zogi stabbed deeper.
Flesh tore. Another head.

In classic fashion, Shnupfen dropped another rock. The paladin, however, ate it well. Disoriented but still standing, it was a glancing blow. That and the paladin was surprisingly durable--even as a Lv. 1.
"Y-you!" The paladin said as they stumbled and looked towards Schnupfen. A foul feeling came over the ghost. Something was about to happen. A holy energy coalesced. If he had a spine, a chill would be running down it. It was bad--really bad.
"Turn un-"
The sound of tearing interrupted the paladin.

The dungeon was, for better or worse, no longer at risk. At least, for now. Some things worked, some things didn't. Some lessons were learned, some weren't. But all of the monsters survived.
In a brief moment of respite, the monsters could once again converse and plan out their dungeon.
The monsters cleared away the waste left by the intruders.
Kleine, however, seemed a bit worried. She seemed to be pacing around in front of the treasure chest.
