The Gnomish Mines is a branch of the main dungeon, usually used by adventurers to gain experience and useful tools. It branches off at dungeon level 2, 3 or 4 and goes downwards from there. Typically, with the exception of the Minetown and the end of the mines, all the levels are simple caverns containing 7 G gnomes, 2 h dwarves, a G gnome lord, 2 random G gnomes and one random h humanoid. They will have 6 random traps, one tool, and 3 random gems or piles of gems. Typically, any random h will be lawful and any random G will be neutral.
