Sadly this market is long-closed, so I can't place any new bets, but let it be noted that the defenses of the Final Dungeon enumerated in #1288 include "a swarm of Fumblebees."

How does this resolve if

  • several of these skills 'save the day' somewhat simultaneously?

  • several of these skills 'save the day' sequentially? (are you resolving the market as soon as possible, or waiting?)

  • one of these skills gets used and maybe provides a slight edge but does not seem to 'save the day'?

You can't think of everything in advance of course, but I think one way to reduce the chance of future "untrustworthy creator" accusations (https://manifold.markets/DAL59/who-or-what-is-the-monster-in-the-d) is to spend at least a little time answering edge-case questions like these up front.

Since you said you won't use choices created by someone else: requesting "All of the above" and "None of the above"
