    Here's some sneak peak shots of the Kobold dungeon located beneath the mountain in Blood Bay. W.I.P.

    @Scottie made this nice Kobold kitchen/dining area and I incorporated it into KRUL.

    Nothing bad at all happens when you step on these pressure plates.

    Looks amazing :D Can't wait to explore it (um...with a party, of course, because kobolds really don't like me...;))

    The real question is: will the kobolds be friendly or will it be a blood bath?

    I think this is the likely outcome since it is in Blood Bay...

    Seems like if we have traps, there should be a disarm or remove trap skill? Isn't that why you hire a good burglar into your party in the first place?

    Also seems like there should be a way to manually disarm pressure plates. Ya know? What a great opportunity to use interactive items in a scene.

    Spoiler: The RNG gives Indi a bad roll at the 40 second mark. (pun intended) :)

    Wow! So exited to get in and explore.

    Here's hoping that the entire dungeon is multi and pvp only!

    Thank you for all your (and @Scottie 's) work on this, @Vas Corp Por !

    I share @Audacity 's excitement about wanting to explore K.R.U.L. but I hope it is NOT PvP only, or there will be some of us who will never see it.

    It will probably be that the dungeon itself is solo/party only... but you will have to enter Blood Bay (a PVP only zone) to get to the entrance.

    That said, it really looks amazing! I love the Kobold steam pump theme and really love big open areas instead of tight enclosed spaces. Hope to visit and explore this place one day soon! Amazing work Vas Corp Por.

    I assume I can check it out in Single Player Offline. Right?

    I believe because it is flagged PVP, that you cannot pass through it or explore it in offline single player mode. This was changed recently as people were running offline to bypass PVP content. @Attenwood ?

    That would not make sense, because there is no possible connection or transfer between offline mode and any of the online modes. Any resources gathered in offline mode cannot be transferred to online mode, so there is no reason for such a restriction.

    I believe you're thinking of single player online, not offline.

    And also a way to craft your own traps and place them ! Either in housing/POT or in an adventure scene as a stealth attack on enemies. Magic traps also, besides mechanical ones.

    Speaking of mechanical traps, disarming them, creating them, and picking locks... I was thinking a while ago that it might be nice to have a Tinker's skill tree... which might both have crafting skills and adventuring skills and combat skills, and would be sort of a clockpunk analogue to the type of rigger/decker classes you have in a cyberpunk game like Shadowrun. Another skill would be to hack into drones/clockwork creatures, take control over them, and turn them into pets, or to simply stun them by making them malfunction.
