There will also be a vote for the most creative sub-challenge for item 27, winner ¡§Mystic Crafter of ADOM Mid-day Summer Dream 2004¡¨ will get to hold the next challenge contest ^_^ . . . (or may assign somebody to hold it) Interested? And any comment? Would some of the points be infeasible? [Edited 5 times, last edit on 6/12/2004 at 08:51 (GMT -5) by illumi] |

1: probably doable at level 50 with some !oboost toughness 2: impossible? 3: not hard if you found an altar yet 4: pain in the arse 5: not too hard 6: easy enough 7: easy with the right character 8: fairly easy to near impossible depending on character 9: not too hard 10: chance that they will both leave corpses, with food preservation 100 is about 0.1% 11: easy on its own, hard in combination with the other challenges. I assume you allow fallen champion, see 15 12: easy (they're pretty rare) 13: scroll of amnesia and ibm guild manual would be a pain in the arse 14: easy (?) 15: easy enough 16: pain in the arse 17: easy if (very) well prepared 18: hard, but doable 19: easy 20: easy enough, bit of a nuisance 21: easy 22: not hard but would probably turn town hostile 23: if you mean get a response then impossible? else easy 24: ouch 25: ouch ouch 26: easy i dunno how 2 can be possible. and 10 is so near impossible as to be unfeasible. What do you wish for? wands of cat repellent_ |

^o^ ... thank you so much, Alex ... i was hoping to make the challenge adequately easy and amusing (??) such that everybody can enjoy it =D for (2) i'm thinking that if the priest is killed by the greater daemon (or some other monster) then he wouldn't blame the char for switching the altar ... is it so? (haven't tested) (can somebody help?) [Edited 3 times, last edit on 6/12/2004 at 09:07 (GMT -5) by illumi] |

as for (10), how about making another option: "Destroy a spellbook of Wish with Fire Bolt and a smile (smirk?) on your face." have any suggestion? =) [Edited 2 times, last edit on 6/12/2004 at 08:46 (GMT -5) by illumi] |

2. Convert the alignment of altar at Dwarftown ¡§without¡¨ causing the whole town becoming hostile. Done that. What's the deal with entire town becoming hostile ? Only the priest became hostile. 4. Kill a cat while wearing the Ring of Master Cat Have done that previously. Not intentionally, though... 6. Fight in Arena until no more duel can be assigned to you Is there actually a limit ? AFAIK one can fight there even after the championship battle. 8. Kill a DK with bare hands (no weapon) Easy peasy with certain preparations. Interesting challenges, though... J.

2. hmm ... the guidebook said that the town will be hostile when Ruun is hostile ... perhaps it's not so every time (??) 6. there are a limited number of fights available after the 20th. not many ... but dangerous ;-) |

I guess it is that the town will be hostile if Ruun is killed by the PC. But if one just leads Ruun to some other level and leaves him there nothing bad will happen. Sytytä toiselle tuli ja hän pysyy lämpimänä jonkin aikaa. Sytytä hänet palamaan ja hän pysyy lämpimänä loppuelämänsä. |

the real J, yeah, fight about 10 more fights after winning the championship and Dak will say 'we all agree you are invincible, no one wants to fight' or some such. the monsters get real hard quickly though (molochs, ancient -color- dragons etc.) What do you wish for? wands of cat repellent_ |

Depends on Pc level, I've usually got the same stuff against me as when fighting for the championship (I do it low levels, never had a moloch or stuff appear agaisnt me). And yes, there is a limit, after that you are "declared" invincible and no one is willing to bet agaisnt you, so no more matches. |

TheTimpen Registered user Last page view: 6861 days, 7 hours, 1 minute and 28 seconds ago. |
Hmm I always fight until there's no more fights. In my experience the monster you meet are COMPLETELY random. I once met a goblin rockthrower just after a emperor lich in there. |

Some of those are ridiculously easy. Some are easier than you might think. But as J has pointed out, the arena seems to offer limitless fights, and so completing it would be impossible. Is it possible to cure confusion caused by the IBM manual? |

illumi Registered user The 1st child Last page view: 7108 days, 22 hours, 19 minutes and 49 seconds ago. |
huh? Alex pointed out that there're just around 10 more fights after the 20th ... Quote from guidebook: "There are a limited number of fights available after the 20th fight, but beware: anything can be generated as an opponent in such fights." As for ridiculously easy: I'm aiming at making it fair (lovely, i mean) enough for people in this forum (including lurkers ^_^) to win it before Sep .... (ad: there're awards!!!) The guidebook also said the IBM scroll confuses until "divinely removed". I interpret it as one may pray to remove it ... (is it so??) btw if you're looking for a difficult challenge, we can make another one ^.~ [Edited 2 times, last edit on 6/13/2004 at 01:15 (GMT -5) by illumi] |

Yes, there are a limited number of fights after winning the championship and yes you can pray to remove IBM guild manual confusion. I was having a fun time with a few characters of mine in the arena, thinking it was a nice easy way of earning money till the fights stopped.. And a very recent character of mine ran into the IBM guild manual, using his first Divine intervention to remove the confusion |

*nodsnods* ^o^ ... thx thx for the explanation and ... oh, look, item 27 can be constraints such as use only certain types of missile, or safe keep $1000 in the room of Head of Thief before lvl 10 ... it doesn't have to be difficult (as most of them are easy ...) Also, for item #2, the requirement is that the change in altar and the priest aren't the direct and indirect causes of turning the town hostile. The char may do anything he/she want with the town later (e.g. do item #22) ^_^ [Edited 3 times, last edit on 6/14/2004 at 00:47 (GMT -5) by illumi] |

how about one more item: don't get the RoTHK, or rather get it by swimming, but drop it in the lake =) |
||
|
illumi Registered user The 1st child Last page view: 7108 days, 22 hours, 19 minutes and 49 seconds ago. |
you may add it as item #27 ^o^ (wow, it makes the game much more ... (what adjective should i use?) ... no RoTHK means no shortcut at Darkforge and thus hv to use Living Forest and Dwarven Hall) quote: "or rather get it by swimming ..." player: Go into the lake and fight the Skeleton King lvl 50 char: *shakes head* No. I don't know how to swim. player: Yes, you do. char: I forget now ^^ player: Yes, you do. char: do not player: do too char: dO not player: do tOo char: do Not player: do toooooo!!! THIS IS AN ORDER *zap wand of teleportation and teleport char to the lake* char: *cast teleportation to teleport back* player: *press <- and "7" to make the char walk into the water* char: *zap wand of wish and make the player disappear* player: *look blinkly at screen* Error 291 char: ^_^ bye player: NOOOOOOOOOO *holding a chair preparing to whack the screen* computer: hey wait ...

i still think the SMC lvl 50 is much harder, but to be realistic the 150stone capacity challenge is close to impossible <but can be acheived>... you just added element to other chal games... why not do this... you must eat ALL corpses generated, when bloated you must wait, your list is easier than what my probation officer gave me when i was 18 <im 30> close the gate and do it all, duh just takes time, maybe the arcmage wanna be <or archmage completion crowd will voice in> just takes TIME...and you have to re edit for the mutually exclusives... there are a couple, not impossible but not possible either why not sacrifice hawckslayer at c+ THAT would be hard |

probation officer? you were tester / developer of ADOM? =D let me explain: i didn't mean to make this challenge the most difficult of all ... i hope people can enjoy it and finish it for real (and hopefully polishing up ADOM-ing skill in the progress) ^^ now to summarize your suggestions: 1. Eat ALL corpses generated 2. Sac Hawkslayer at C+ 3. 1000 stones limit They will be included in the poll thread later when > 20 are collected. Thanks ^^ [Edited 1 time, last edit on 6/14/2004 at 19:53 (GMT -5) by illumi] |

+ without RoTHK, you'd have to fight EG to get through ^^ hmm.. I think doing the lake AND fighting EG is a bit too much... on the other hand, if a char can do one, he can pretty surely do 2 2. |
