The Mines

One of the rooms in the mines

The Mines is the first episode of Crazy Caves and of Ancient Wizarding World, as well as the series as a whole. Its boss is Dolu the Murderous Barbarian.

## Plot

Before the story begins, a recap is told through a way to the "tutorial" (which is actually a recap, not a tutorial). It tells about how the Source of Magic was learned about through the world. It was first dropped from Tulgey Wood (an alternate realm) and into the world of Lijos, thus leading to a war between humans and monsters who wanted access to it. The enormous war was mainly between The Deathmaster, Coo Coo and Zovan. It eventually was won by The Deathmaster after defeating both Coo Coo and Zovan. He created an enormous war for nearly 2,000 years. He was attempted to be stopped by Raimor the Elemental Master and Ghostie the Greedy Ghoul, but The Deathmaster easily stops them. The one who ultimately defeats The Deathmaster ends up being Ezmio the Powerful Sorcerer, who worked for an entire century to train and learn enough magic to seal The Deathmaster away into the Void. Over the course of the next few decades, people who heard these stories wished to gain the Source of Magic for themselves, one of them being the Dungeoneer.

The story ultimately begins with the Dungeoneer traveling into Crazy Caves, into the mines. They start by fighting several monsters for two floors, until eventually they reach the third floor, where they find one of the NPCs. They end up freeing the NPC and then proceeding to the boss level. They then encounter Dolu the Murderous Barbarian, who demands to be free, adding that he'll kill people once he is, which the Dungeoneer quickly denies. Dolu attacks the Dungeoneer, and after a brief battle, Dolu is killed by the Dungeoneer, but not before cursing the Dungeoneer and expressing his hope that they will die.

## Boss Battle(s)

### Dolu the Murderous Barbarian

*Main article: The Deathmaster's Army*

Dolu is one of the primary members of the Deathmaster's army. He is a sadistic and vindictive illusioner with a taste for bloodshed and seeing others suffering, much like the Deathmaster himself. Once the fight is over and Dolu is killed, he finds peace in his "afterlife" and thanks the player, showing slight resentment however.
