Gnome Deep

Description

Gnomes are digging under an old oak stump for the lost Gnome King’s hoard, and every pest in the forest can hear them. Turn the digging up for more gold and a faster dig, but the louder the digging, the more beetles, slugs, crows and worse come for the burrow. Crossbow gnomes, a catapult, an old owl and a cousin with a shovel hold the walls. Every new layer pays more gold and wakes a boss that blocks the tunnel. When the burrow falls, spend your gems in the workshop and dig deeper next time. Eight layers down, the Wyrm is waiting.
