The Tavern

I noticed a few funnies at the bottom of this tournament page:
http://dobrazupa.org/tournament/0.22/killers.html

These are "killers" who are accredited with killing one player. I found the last 3 somewhat unexpected!


If you notice any other funnies/unexpected further up in the list (or have been added as a new killer), please post!

I might bookmark this for the next time people ask why I rarely use polymorph.

how does a jackal get a ranged kill? I mean most of the rest of the non-ranged monsters could at least use wands, but I'm fairly sure a jackal can't do anything ranged...

Does self inflicted harm from e.g. Pain attribute the kill to who it was casted on? Or does it have its own thing?

monstrous warmonger
sickly merfolk siren
titan shaped Royal Jelly
freezing
Grinder the apocalypse crab
Grinder the doom hound
miscasting Olgreb's Toxic Radiance
Prince Ribbit the fire crab (glowing shapeshifter)
Psyche the ice beast
Sigmund the naga
Sigmund the porcupine (shapeshifter)
Sigmund the steam dragon
Snorg the acid dragon
Sonja the big kobold
the severe capriciousness of Xom
Urug the salamander

..and with 2 kills:

you

...and with 3 kills:

Jackals get ranged kills from inner flame.

Pain can't actually kill its caster, if you have 1 HP and cast Pain it just won't damage you.

Interesting that Mara and Mnoleg, despite being "normal" enemies (as opposed to polymorphed, or random pan lords) only have one kill each. Plus, Mara is generally considered one of the more dangerous enemies!

Wonder how much of that is due to people not running into him, and how much is people nopeing out of there the instant they see him.

Cigotuvi's Monster at least, and cherubs and bennu, probably fall into the "not often encountered" enemies, explaining their solo kills, though it's a little embarrassing to see that ironbrand convokers and shadow demons have only 1, considering how many you'll run into.

Even Dispater and Louise only manage 2, though to be fair, Louise is more likely to kill you via banishment than direct damage. Though it's worth noting that "Gastronok the Shard Shrike" also has two kills!

Convokers are also likely to kill you indirectly, rather than directly (I don't know if shadow demon's summons count towards the shadow demon's kills directly for this purpose)

Ahh, true. I was thinking smoke demons, not shadow demons. And yeah, I guess you're right. Convokers are also mostly indirect-damage killers. I bet summoners get their summons' kills credited to them, but convokers don't, because they're not...well, summoned, in the game sense, just recalled.
