I'd play. Please? Can we make this happen? With Stokesian levels of plotting and death traps?
Can anyone apply?
Sure!
Death traps would be a big feature, for sure. That's why the Great Heroes who own the dungeons can lay off all their little guards. You don't have to pay death traps any wages.
Not just death traps; if the Heroes horded all the magic stuff typical in a fantasy setting to themselves, that would include magical automata, right?

You can't outbid the skeletal workforce.
My favorite Base Raiders character is a skeleton guard put out of work after Ragnarok, who decided to use technology to stop being a lowly mook.
