Hmm...It feels like there were multiple voices in my head trying to sway my decision...Are there multiple souls in my Core or something? Eh, whatever. Probably not important right now. Now, it's time to think about theming! Let's see...Oh! You know, since I'm in a sort of cave, what if I make it like a pharoah's tomb or something? That'd be pretty cool! Oh! And it'd let me make monsters that sort of match that asctetic! Yeah, I think I'll go with that!...Why does it feel like I have two others agreeing with me? Eh, not relevant.
Ok, so, with 100 DP to work with, I can't make anything super special. Let's see...What was the command? I don't think the **Dungeon Mechanics** mentioned it...Can't be that hard, I just want to summon a monster, so...Summon Monster?

Oh, so it automatically makes a new one if one doesn't exist? I wasn't sure if I'd have to ask it to or not.

Ok. Now, since I only have 100 DP, I don't think I can handle much, so let's stick to Common Rank. As for monster type...Elemental? I think a few small elementals to give the 'temple' a bit of a mystical feel would be good. But...what type? Eh, I'll start with a small fire elemental or something, just to check the cost.

Oof. Guess an elemental is a bit more than just a basic starter monster, huh? Shouldn't be too hard to push it down. Let's see...
I can make it Unique to get a 20% discount and Tame-Able for another 20%. Weaknesses also give discounts, and I can make them smaller than normal to knock off 10 DP per decrease up to 80 DP total. I don't need much to get it below 100, as long as I don't add Humanoid, Sentient, or Speech, or try and give it extra skills. I could also make it a Boss or Mini-Boss, for 75% and 20% off respectively, but I think it's a bit early to make a Boss?
Hmm...And then there are the stats...Lots to think about.
