CHALLENGES!

[cursednobleman]

I say we use this thread to issue challenges of badassery to the assorted dungeon crawlers. I just came up with a great one:

As an arcane marksman, encounter Dowan and Duvessa, then enslave one, then cast inner flame on the other, killing both simaltaneously. A screenshot is a must.


If you come up with an evil/awesome challenge, post it here, maybe someone will do it and take a screenshot!

HOPr. Equip all of your followers with tridents and Inner Flame them. Attack a wizlab. Bonus points if it's Cigotuvi's Fleshworks.

Orcs don't follow inside portals iirc, also Inner Flame is a "hostile" action so that won't work

The hostile part would be a problem, but will Beogh gift you some orcs if you spend long enough in a portal vault?

Also there is a joke here I'm not getting

Challenge: Beat 0.11 with a Mountain Dwarf!

Ah well. Worth a shot.

(The joke is having a mob of peasants armed with torches and pitchforks storming the lair of the mad scientist. Inner Flame was the best thing I could think of...if game mechanics don't let you carry a torch, become one. For various values of "torch".)

flaming corpses or whatever they're called

Here's one I think is going to be quite fun (but tedious...) to try. If it were a tournament banner or something, I'd probably name it "Unwanted Guest" or "Annoying Company" or something similar. The objective?

I - Find Jessica and bring her with you to Zot:5.
II - Find her, bring her with you to Zot:5, then ascend with her.
III - Find her, bring her with you to Zot:5, obtain all 15 runes then ascend with her.

Not hard, right? Well, here's the rules to spice it up;

You must find and "acquire" Jessica (have her follow you around) before descending past D:7.
You must take her down to the next floor every time you descend a new set of stairs! This goes for every branch except for Slime, Pan, Abyss and Hells, where chances are you'll lose her in one way or the other...
You may not enslave her in any way.

YOU MAY:

Make her fall through a shaft, but if she somehow dies at the next floor, the challenge is over.
Polymorph her in any way, accidentally or not. What matters is, she is still alive.
Lose her while you're both on the same level (so you can rest without her hitting you), but remember, you have to bring her down with you before you descend the next down staircase. Again, if she dies to something other than you, challenge is over.
Fall through a shaft by accident, but you have to come back to the level where you left Jessica as soon as you find the first up staircases at the levels below it.

Obviously since there's no way of checking if you obey some of the rules through the morgue file, this is meant to be an idea for self abuse rather than a "post your accomplishment" thing.
I may have forgotten some broken strategies, but it's up to you to know when you shouldn't do something because it trivialises the challenge.

Really, you should bring Sigmund.

[TehDruid]

Well, you can try it with any unique. Jessica is just the easiest of them.

[cerebovssquire]

Ijyb sound a lot easier being speed 10, melee and spellless, especially for Sp Fe Ce

[Jabberwocky]

Only thing more fun would be bringing multiple Jessicas out with you.

[Fedman]

Polymorph any unique.
If it becomes a dragon or a troll try to butcher their body for a hide and enchant it.
Bonus points if you get a golden or pearl dragon armor.
When you leave the dungeon with the orb of zot wear the armor to celebrate.
Post dump.

Win the game without ever having any resistances.
