Quick Start Guide

 * 1) With a limited supply of Kobold Miners, can you collect enough crystals from the Dragon's hoard before time runs out?
 * 2) Protect your Kobold workers from monster attacks as the Kobolds try to carry their crystal payload back to the Foreman.
 * 3) Barter crystals with the Foreman to help bolster your Kobold workers, because they only have one life to live!

The Dragon's Hoard

 * The Spectral Dragon, Auraxyllon, lurks somewhere inside his extraplanar palace, protecting his vast collection of crystals.
 * Raid the palace with the Kobold Miners Union and extract as many crystals as possible before the time runs out.
 * The deeper into the palace you delve, the more crystals you can find - but watch out! Auraxyllon is somewhere in the palace lying in wait for intruders.

Kobold Miners

 * Lead the Kobold Miners to crystals by laying down Incense Torches to form a path.
 * You have a limited number of Kobolds, and can't acquire more from the Foreman.
 * Kobolds only have one life and can't be resurrected, so protect them!
 * Tip: Healing Torches work like regular torches, plus they also heal Kobold Miners who are near them.
 * The kobolds will collect the crystal and take them back to the Foreman near the entrance.
 * Tip: Barrels increase how many crystals one Kobold can carry. Place Barrels in the torch path and Kobolds will pick them up and equip them. A Kobold with multiple Barrels will make his best effort to fill the barrels before returning to the Foreman.
 * Monsters may attack the Kobolds while they’re working, causing the Kobolds to panic and run in circles.
 * Tip: You can earn extra treasure for killing red named bosses!
 * Help the Kobolds return to the Foreman to unload their crystals so they can go back to collect more!
 * Tip: Place Teleporters near Kobolds who are loaded with crystals. Kobolds will use Teleporters to instantly travel back to the Foreman.

The Foreman

 * Help the Kobolds return to the Foreman to unload their crystals so they can go back to collect more!
 * The Foreman can sell you various enhancements for your Kobold Miners, Incense Torches, Healing Torches, Barrels, and Teleporters, as well as various useful items from the DDO Store.
 * Monsters may also attack and kill the Foreman. A dead Foreman can’t sell you supplies!
 * Tourist Tonic can be purchased from the DDO Store. It will return you to the Time Foreman instantaneously.

Crystals

 * Green crystals are turned in by Kobolds to meet the quota, and increase your score!
 * Purple Crystals are worth 10 of the Green Crystals. But be careful – Some Purple Crystals tend to explode if left alone for too long.
 * You can use crystals to buy supplies from the Foreman. Remember that this subtracts from your quota.
 * Rooms deeper in the palace tend to have more crystals, but at the risk of encountering the Dragon!

Score
You will earn points for the following:
 * Collected crystals

 * Your Kobolds have only one life, are very weak, and tend to wander off. Guard them with due vigilance.
