That said Fiddy and I will be looking for a team to kill a Nightmare Draccus by HP. We have a plan that we will discuss elsewhere. The general plan is to build a team that will kill the Draccus by doing enough damage to it. We don't care about other rooms and can even die in the last. I will throw up a post for it shortly.


Our thought was to keep dropping the number until we fail. Remember that Treasure Enhancing Tokens count against the total.

Let them trap us. We have our swords. - Elric of Melnibone.

You try to get them to play the game, but all they want to do is play the rules. - Ardak Kumerian

I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend - Faramir

I remember, I came up with it. I think though there is something about knowing the dungeon and not knowing it that also factors in.

Alright another themed run idea, consumables only run, just think 10 adventueres where out drinking and decided to go through a dungeon. Basically wands, potions, etc I wonder how many potions of thors retort could we go through on a normal run?

I am definitely interested in joining some theme runs (and other random groups) at origins since it will just be me going from my group.

Kill the dracus,
7 token...or 6
100 hp

Are the most interesting to me.

Another idea, if the group can be extremely coordinated for equipping: team highlander - the party can only use one of each token (except treasure enhancers). ...I first started wondering who gets to use the viper strike fangs. Then realized that STR girdles would be highly contested...wait, who gets to use the eldritch set...OMG, can you even get everyone to 5th level?

Definitely want kill the draccus. Loved the turkey leg team, would be happy to do that again,or some other variant.

Consumables only, I would like to request druid, and hope everything isn't immune to poison.

I'm up for kill the Draccus. I also checked and I can get my Elf Wizard to 100HP, so I'm good there as well.

Let's see, can't quite get everyone to 5th...
  • RoSP + voucher
  • Supreme Ring + Boots of 4 Winds + Druid/Ranger
  • Might set
  • Charming set
  • Charm of Heroism
  • Ring of Heroism (2013)
  • Ring of Heroism(2015)
  • Medallion of Heroism

Once the Eldritch Kilt and Teeth are done, you could get the other half of the Druid/Ranger too, but that is a ways off. And that still leaves you a player short.

Of course if artifact players are involved, the equation changes... ;)

Well, you could always do it as an 8 man run, to honor the origins of TD.

Or, wasn't there a 3rd printing of the Ring of Heroism due to demand? If that could work....

I would love to participate in any of the themed runs... I enjoyed the turkey leg run. I have a couple belts of thorns and extra turkey legs...

Not sure if it matters but having smackdown in the party solves the level problem.

Or just make sure that the no level bumps go to characters that it matters less on. Rogues, Barbarians, Fighters come immediately to mind. Sure they more HP and Damage, but I don't think those are as important as extra spells for spellcasters, just my two cents.
