Set 21 Week 4 : Cassandra the doomed oracle

As a young woman, Cassandra bound herself in service to Ashenzari and was blessed and cursed in equal measure - granted the ability to foresee disasters, but only those she was powerless to prevent. Eventually driven from her homeland as a harbinger of the very plagues she'd spent a lifetime warning against, she has come to the dungeon in her final days in hope of averting one last catastrophe.

Cassandra says: A terrible fate awaits all who seek the ORB - and yours worst of all.

Challenge Details

HumanAir ElementalistAshenzari

The Species, Background, and God choices are all mandatory. You must be worshipping one of the gods listed above before entering Lair, Orcish Mines, the Vaults or Depths, unless this isn't possible in which case you must worship them as soon as you can. Don't use faded altars (except in challenges where you can choose any god), and don't do anything to lose your religion unless otherwise specified.

NOTE: Except for Beogh, Ignis, Jiyva and Lugonu, an altar for the other gods will ALWAYS show up by D:10.

Cosplay conduct points

1. Weapon

Only train Fighting for weapon skills.

2. Armour

Wear only light armour (ER 5 or less).

3. Magic

Train Conjurations or Hexes to skill level 14. Only base skill counts.

Conducts are worth +5 points each, to a maximum of half your score from milestones, rounded down. (So if you achieve 4 milestones (20 points) you can earn up to 10 points from conduct bonuses.) Small mistakes in following conducts will usually be forgiven.

Bonus challenges

1. A terrible fate awaits all who seek the ORB

Find an orb statue in under 4000 turns at the entrance to the Temple.

2. ... and yours worst of all.

From Depths onward, do not use any item that gives resistance corresponding to the Orb type in Zot:5.

The new orbs are:

  • Orb of Entropy: rNeg, rCorr
  • Orb of Fire: rF+
  • Orb of Winter: rC+

At the the entrance of the Temple and Zot, statues will show you which Orbs you will face. Items with -Cast, Tele, -Tele, Corrode, Slow, Harm, Silence or Bane can be used regardless of what resistances they give.

Bonus challenges are worth one star each, similar to banners in Crawl tournaments. Small mistakes will usually be forgiven.

Milestones

  • Reach XL3.
  • Enter Lair, Orc, or Depths.
  • Reach the bottom of Dungeon, Lair, or Orc.
  • Collect your first rune.
  • Find the entrance to Zot. (Just using magic mapping doesn't count.)
  • Collect your third rune.
  • Win the game.

The main way to score points. +5 points each, and can be done in any order.
