Tunnel, Boss 1

[battleshipmod]

After an arduous journey, you and your team have managed to recover some of the dwarves' precious lore books—but that’s not all! Amongst the holes, you have uncovered various trinkets, treasures, and was that a seahorse swirling past?

"What is this?" you ask, picking up a musical box. A ballerina spins to an enchanting lullaby.

As you look through the rest of what you've found, goblins swarm the tunnel! The dwarves are screaming, the goblins are cackling, everything is chaos! You look for your teammates, for the exit, for any weapons to help.

"Don't kill them!" one dwarf cries. "There's a curse that will erase every book if a life is taken here!"

That would have been good to know earlier, you think, but there's no time to be mad. Desperate for an advantage, you scatter treasure around, knowing goblins can't resist shiny things. As the distracted goblins scoop up the treasures, you hastily figure out a strategy for shooing them out of the tunnel.

Tunnel collection | Requests | Prompts | AFIRB search

The boss starts with 250,000 hit points. Your found loot of 45,200 reduces that to 204,800. For the rest, post works to the Tunnel collection.

During boss battles, works score points. All works scoring more than 10,000 points will count as 10,000 points.

Fic and podfic are worth 1 point per word. Artworks are worth 500 to 1500 points. Artwork is scored as follows:

• 500: the first character, vehicle, or structure depicted in black (or a single color) and white
• 400: each additional character, vehicle, or structure
• 200: each character, vehicle, or structure depicted in full color
• 200: detailed background

No individual artwork may score more than 1500 points; any score greater than that will count as 1500 points. Unique, separately created artworks may be combined in a comic or compilation, for which each artwork will be individually scored (maxing out at 1500 points each) and the scores added, maxing out at 10,000 points.

Each fic, podfic, artwork, or compilation of artworks posted to AO3 as a single work counts as 1 work toward your work cap. Each player is capped at 5 works per boss battle.

Points for fic and podfic will go by the AO3 wordcount. For art, list the points earned in the author's note to make sure the mods score your artwork correctly.

Tags are irrelevant during boss battles, as long as the work fulfills a request.

Team Tunnel members (and only Team Tunnel members) should post works to the Tunnel collection.

Good luck!
