Dudley's dungeon

Minetown,           
WatchThese strange creatures live mostly on the surface of the
earth, gathering together in societies of various forms, but
occasionally a stray will descend into the depths and commit
mayhem among the dungeon residents who, naturally, often
resent the intrusion of such beasts.  They are capable of
using weapons and magic, and it is even rumored that the
Wizard of Yendor is a member of this species.

Dudley the ValkyrieThe Valkyries were the thirteen choosers of the slain, the
beautiful warrior-maids of Odin who rode through the air and
over the sea.  They watched the progress of the battle and
selected the heroes who were to fall fighting.  After they
were dead, the maidens rewarded the heroes by kissing them
and then led their souls to Valhalla, where the warriors
lived happily in an ideal existence, drinking and eating
without restraint and fighting over again the battles in
which they died and in which they had won their deathless
fame.

The watchman hits!  
The orcOrcs, bipeds with a humanoid appearance, are related to the
goblins, but much bigger and more dangerous.  The average orc
is only moderately intelligent, has broad, muscled shoulders,
a short neck, a sloping forehead and a thick, dark fur.
Their lower eye-teeth are pointing forward, like a boar's.
Female orcs are more lightly built and bare-chested.  Not
needing any clothing, they do like to dress in variegated
apparels.  Suspicious by nature, orcs live in tribes or
hordes.  They tend to live underground as well as above
ground (but they dislike sunlight).  Orcs can use all weapons,
tools and armours that are used by men.  Since they don't have
the talent to fashion these themselves, they are constantly
hunting for them.  There is nothing a horde of orcs cannot
use.

an iron golem"The original story harks back, so they say, to the sixteenth
century.  Using long-lost formulas from the Kabbala, a rabbi is
said to have made an artificial man -- the so-called Golem -- to
help ring the bells in the Synagogue and for all kinds of other
menial work.
"But he hadn't made a full man, and it was animated by some sort
of vegetable half-life.  What life it had, too, so the story
runs, was only derived from the magic charm placed behind its
teeth each day, that drew down to itself what was known as the
`free sidereal strength of the universe.'
"One evening, before evening prayers, the rabbi forgot to take
the charm out of the Golem's mouth, and it fell into a frenzy.
It raged through the dark streets, smashing everything in its
path, until the rabbi caught up with it, removed the charm, and
destroyed it.  Then the Golem collapsed, lifeless.  All that was
left of it was a small clay image, which you can still see in
the Old Synagogue." ...

triggers a rolling  
boulderI worked the lever well under, and stretched my back; the end
of the stone rose up, and I kicked the fulcrum under.  Then,
when I was going to bear down, I remembered there was
something to get out from below; when I let go of the lever,
the stone would fall again.  I sat down to think, on the root
of the oak tree; and, seeing it stand about the ground, I saw
my way.  It was lucky I had brought a longer lever.  It would
just reach to wedge under the oak root.
Bearing it down so far would have been easy for a heavy man,
but was a hard fight for me.  But this time I meant to do it
if it killed me, because I knew it could be done.  Twice I
got it nearly there, and twice the weight bore it up again;
but when I flung myself on it the third time, I heard in my
ears the sea-sound of Poseidon.  Then I knew this time I
would do it; and so I did.
