Let a shout wake nearby allies without waking the whole dungeon

When one goblin spots the hero, its friends should join, but if every alerted goblin shouts too, one sighting empties an entire level onto the player. This entry shows how far the call should travel, who ignores it, and who passes it on.

Why this works

A shout is heard only so far, and a limit on how often it is passed on keeps one mistake from costing the whole level. Rounds make the spread something the player can predict and plan around.

When not to use it

Skip it when the whole place is meant to react, such as a fortress with a loud bell, or when walls and doors should stop the sound. Then use one big alarm or a test for hearing through walls.
