Aelewin swears at the onslaught, dodging back determinedly, until Vidus falls. They scowl, but cautiously approach the gravedigger, aiming to drag him back up the stairs and heal any wounds once they've returned to the surface.Despite this, they keep their sword handy.Taskmaster of the Underworld: Seems fine. 8/10
Move Bodies  Sorcery  Exile target creature card fron your graveyard with a body counter on it. It gains "  : Return this creature from exile to the battlefield. Activate only as a sorcery." Exile ~.
Move Bodies: Very interesting card. I kinda like it as a weird form of reanimation, but I'm not sure having to essentially pay 7 for that creature is really all that great. 8/10 Unx Thoughtcutter   Creature - Zombie Menace When ~ etb, if it wasn't cast from your hand, target player reveals their hand. You choose up to two cards from it and exile them. You may cast those card for as long as they remain exiled, and you may spend mana as though it were mana of any color to cast those spells. 4/3 |

Vidus walks up to the two figures. "Hello. Do you two know what happened here? Seems like a pretty large battle. Even civilians were caught in the crossfire."
The Walk to the Gates: Pretty neat. Ward counter is cool. 10/10
Ashetaran Gravefeeder Creature - Zombie Menace Whenever one or more cards are exiled from a graveyard, put a +1/+1 counter on ~. [2/2] Ashetaran Gravefeeder: 9/10. Could probably be a 3/3 or self-enable or something these days at rare, but it's a cool card.
The human (Lebbaeus) reaches under his cloak, but the surrakar (Avai) stops him with a hand. "Welcome to Spire. We were attacked...two days ago, by wandering monsters. We were able to hold them off at this gate, but the city beyond that..."
Avai is lying, and they're a decent liar. You know more about Vidus than I do, so I don't know whether he buys it. The corpses are two days old.

Vidus's body hisses and snarls. The demon isn't going to give up such a host like this without a fight. Vidus's body brings the shovel up, the pointed end aimed at Aelewin. At the last second, Vidus's body swerves away, dropping the shovel. Vidus's body arches backwards, holds its head and screams, two different voices held within the yell. The demon regains control, picks up the shovel, and starts swinging it above its head, bringing it down towards Aelewin.

Aelewin curses, and reflexively melts away into shadowform, barely dodging the shadow's blow. They resolve to end this, and fast."I am sorry, friend Vidus."Aelewin rematerialises behind the possessed form, glistening blade held high and out of the shadow like a beacon of light, and brings the flat of it down onto Vidus - aiming to knock him out.Unx Thoughtcutter: Neat thing. Seems a little low floor tbh? Might be underrating. 8/10Nimbledown Scyther Creature - Mouse Peasant Warrior Whenever ~ attacks, you may discard a card. If you do, it gains indestructible until end of turn. 3/1
Nimbledown Scyther: Very cool! I love the fact that this is a Mouse Peasant Warrior. 10/10Ashetaran Mind-Warper Creature - Zombie Wizard ~ can't block. Whenever you discard a card, put a +1/+1 counter on target creature you control. 2/1 |

Avai is lying, and they're a decent liar. You know more about Vidus than I do, so I don't know whether he buys it. The corpses are two days old.
Vidus nods. "I see." His face looks grim as he surveys the carnage. "Every world I've seen does not seem fit for the people who live on them. It's almost as if the planes themselves delight in their suffering. Maybe even I've been complicit in it." He stands in silent contemplation, his eyes distant. After a while standing in place, he turns to the two. "Would it be okay with you if I laid these bodies to rest? Or would you prefer other burial arrangements for them?"
Avai's Though Process: I love the concept of a dungeon as someone's thought process. This dungeon also seems fairly useful for a variety of dungeon tactics. GY exile is pretty valuable against decks that like to leverage their graveyard, and the lifegain is also pretty deece. 10/10

I really like this design. As for the story, I think I already told you I'm doing a reset, so stand by for that. |

You are maintaining some of the graves, on the Arena. (Who were they? Is there any particular reason to take care of these specific ones?) It is slow work, weeding and tracking and the occasional bit of digging. (Does your shovel have any strong feelings about being used for digging?)
As you work, detritus begins to push up through the dirt with a quiet rustling sound; fragments of grey stone tile, coins, shards of crystal. (Do you notice?)
Well. You definitely notice when a skeleton begins to crawl out of the ground. (What do you do?)

Vidus sometimes wonders who the people were that rest in the graveyard under his care. Some were rich, and wanted their gravestones to show that. Others could barely afford a stone with their name on it. It wasn't any of Vidus' business, as far as he was concerned. He just kept the graveyard free of overgrowth, and performed burials if anyone needed it. Corpses didn't really faze Vidus, or at least that's what he liked to believe. He was absorbed in thoughts, and didn't notice the ground begin to move, but as you have said, he did notice when the skeleton appeared. Vidus drew his shovel up into a defensive position, sliding one of his feet backwards against the ground for leverage if he needed it. He warily watched as the skeleton approached.
Among the Graves: At first I thought a 4/1 as reward for finishing a dungeon seemed kind of bad, but it's probably good with all of the other rooms. I like that if you go down the 1/1 route, you can make it a 2/2 two rooms after that, but I'm not sure I'm a fan of the stun counter, as if you are the only person with a creature on board, then one of your creatures gets the stun counter. I like the Discard room leading into the GY exile room. 8/10

A fine common for a set that wants it, and works well with the 4/1. The skeleton creaks as it pushes out of the ground, its jaw hanging open. It is slow, deliberate. The ground it's emerging from seems to lose stability; you know it's packed dirt, you've walked over the spot it's in, but it crumbles like silt, falling away as if to help the skeleton rise. (How do you feel about the undead?)A nearby gravestone topples, falling into the growing pit; you're not in a good position to see the bottom, but you hear the sound of stone on stone as it lands. (What do you think is going on here?)Finally, it clambers upright, staring at you, a spear in its hands. It stands eerily still, other than following you with its eye-sockets. (What do you do?) |

Ever since he had first laid eyes on them, Vidus hadn't been a fan of the undead. This probably wasn't helped by the fact that those specific undead were sent by his father to destroy the village Vidus lived in, but that's a different story for a different time. Currently, Vidus is watching the skeleton as it stands in place. Where did this thing come from? thinks Vidus. Its bones look far too old for it to be a newcomer here. And what about the crumbling ground behind it? Vidus had discovered a vast, labyrinthine network of catacombs beneath the graveyard earlier. Perhaps it had come from there? Tentatively, he takes a step forward. "What are you, and what are you doing here?"
The Opening: 10/10 Really slick dungeon. I like the risk/reward of trying to rush the dungeon but losing a land, or going the slower and safer route.
Inquisit Instant Look at up to one target opponent's hand. Scry 1, then draw a card.
