Diggers

Dwarven Digger

The massive dwarven digger has left Larracos, leaving a dark hole, bound for work on the twelfth floor.

Story so far

Surveying the pit that used to be Larracos, Carl noted that the massive dwarven digger was gone, leaving a dark hole behind.

He counted it good news: their guys would need that thing on The Twelfth Floor. Its departure sat alongside the bed of dead roots where The Castle had been, which appeared to cover a giant hole of its own.

Appearance

A massive dwarven boring machine, absent, leaving only a dark hole where it worked.

Role

The heavy equipment evacuated ahead of the floor's destruction for use deeper in the dungeon.
