This level is located on the 3rd or 4th level of the Gnomish Mines (and therefore between DL 5 and DL 8).
Minetown is eligible to leave bones files. Monster creation on this level is biased towards lawful monsters.
Minetown comes in seven different versions, each of which has an equal chance of being used:
Bear in mind that, as elsewhere in the Gnomish Mines, if you are playing a dwarf or gnome, two-thirds of the dwarfs or gnomes respectively that are listed in these descriptions will be made random monsters instead.

Legend
There are four watchmen and a watch captain randomly placed in the town; the temple has its attendant priest, and also contains two gnomish wizards. There are gnomes in the rooms to SW and NE of the open fountain space, and a gnome lord in the NE corner room. The lighting shop (marked 'lgt') is manned by a shopkeeper named Izchak; the remaining three shops each have a 90% chance of being filled and manned, namely the general store ('gen'), food shop ('fd'), and tool shop ('too').
There are four rooms to the sides of the mapped area, containing the stairs (in separate rooms), three gnomes and a dwarf, and two random traps; they are linked to each other and the town proper by corridors.
