Crawl Challenge: Hero of Heretics

The Hero of Heretics Challenge

Story

You were once a faithful and loyal follower of a powerful diety, however, they chose to abandon you in your time of need, and they let the unholy forces of darkness overtake you. But you survived, and you are determined to spite all the gods of this world.

You have heard talk of a place known as the tomb, where all the victims of a cruel deities desertion rest in eternal agonizing undeath, unable to accept their tragic fate. They have suffered the same fate, but unlike you, they did not survive. Your quest is simple: Betray the gods whom have betrayed you and so many others, acquire the orb of zot, then use it's power to liberate your brethren in the tomb and acquire their sacred relic.

Rules and Restrictions

  • You may not choose a species unable of following a god(besides beogh). You also may not choose hill orcs(they are far too loyal to abandon their leader, beogh).
  • Upon reaching ******, you must leave your god and may not follow him again for the rest of the game. This is the only way you are aloud to lose your god.
  • You may not enter the tomb until you have Spited every single god in crawl and have picked up the orb of zot.
  • You must be following a god at all time until you have spite every god. Follow the first god you find an alter to.

How to win

You are on a quest to Spite the god of this world, and over time, you will have to bear the burden of wrath that the gods will lay upon you. In order to win, you must abandon every god in crawl and destroy at least one idol of beogh, then ascend after acquiring the golden rune of zot.

Spiting a god is defined as gaining ****** status and abandoning them.

Good luck, and happy heresy!

well, If someone can manage it, I'll send it a framed certificate of "master of Crawl". but it has to be someone from the tavern.

Re: Crawl Challenge: Hero of Heretics

Problem: Not every god accepts undead worshippers, and being a mummy is the only way to win this even in theory.

Re: Crawl Challenge: Hero of Heretics

Actually, it isn't quite as hard as you make it sound, I was going to give this a shot with a Merfolk Transmuters, or maybe a lava Orc. :)

I just need to find the time for it.

Pan has infinite food so running out of food is not a problem. Zot (and hell, I guess, since some potential hell spawns are living) has infinite spawns so you can't run out of opportunities to gain piety, either.

Also Pan now has demonspawns who leave delicious delicious demonspawn corpses.

Re: Crawl Challenge: Hero of Heretics

Starting a game now on http://crawl.akrasiac.org:8080/#lobby if anyone is interested. I'll be playing an octopode transmuter this game and see how it goes. :)

Currently my strategy is going to be going for the good gods them get wrath from them since they seem to have the easiest wrath to deal with. Ill be playing as Tiktacy since Altacy is currently running the batty challenge.

Re: Crawl Challenge: Hero of Heretics

Ended up finding xom as my first god, but he gave me a bunch of awesome mutations including the spike. I have blade hands online and have already found a few nice rings.

Taking a break for tonight though, got a lot of homework to get started on. Thanks to anyone who came to spectate. :)

I thought all branches close off once you've picked up the orb.
