I like the way there are two winners and everyone else is dead.

There is one inofficial winner as well outside the competition (but from the same savefil) in mpa-Sil.

Automatic flanking on sleeping monsters may have been useful here (although I managed to make enough noise with my chars), but it can be a real pain for light weapon builds that diversify into stealth. (Just imagine they sleep lying on the ground so you can't just hit them when running past them.) And the only point about this request is keeping up speed in the initial attack, isn't it?

Friendly reminder that there are just under 48hrs to go in the current Sil contest, if someone wants to give a shot at dethroning Psi.

Is it possible to turn on flanking on sleeping monsters?

I've been meaning to post the same! ISTR it was turned off at some point, but an option (if I haven't just missed it) would be very welcome.

I hate sword spiders.

Violet molds

Are still a pain in the rear...Interesting character much different than I would play, but its nice to see how flanking works.

Momentum before 500' is probably gutsy... I imagine he's going to want stuff to stay alive first. I would guess a heavy battle axe might be a good 1H weapon to slug around in the early game? No idea really. 2 Con is just... ouchy

I stick to momentum, it is cool and cheap. All (2) attempts are uploaded to the competition, I didn't find the low constitution that dramatic with flanking - low perception / grace / will will be a pain soon.

I think I've gone through four already... one died to Gorgol, one entered a forge room with two brown molds and two more encountered sword spiders. They are soooo dangerous with so little HP. I am used to playing rather gung-ho and killing everything. This will be a challenge.

Yeah, I expect most people who are legit trying to win this one will probably upload in excess of 5-10 dudes I think you might have to tick off the thing that says "don't overwrite this dude" in the chardump if you want to keep using the same name, but maybe that doesn't hold true for competition dumps?

Then he fled from them like the wind, and they were amazed,
wondering what madness had seized him; and they followed after him.
But Túrin far out-ran them; and he came to Cabed-en-Aras, and heard the
roaring of the water, and saw that all the leaves fell sere from the trees, as
though winter had come. There he drew forth his sword, that now alone
remained to him of all his possessions, and he said: ‘Hail Gurthang! No
lord or loyalty dost thou know, save the hand that wieldeth thee. From no
blood wilt thou shrink. Wilt thou therefore take Túrin Turambar, wilt thou
slay me swiftly?’

And from the blade rang a cold voice in answer: ‘Yea, I will drink
thy blood gladly, that so I may forget the blood of Beleg my master, and
the blood of Brandir slain unjustly. I will slay thee swiftly.’

P.S. I tried (only taking momentum and sprinting as additional abilities). Died to Ulfangs archer escort at 500 ft. Is adding multiple chars to a competition possible?

[HallucinationMushroom]

Hey, congrats Debo. I completely missed that you are now the competition overlord. I pretty much never participate, but I demand that there always be a competition in progress. Always. Haha, just kidding. Good luck, man.

[debo]

Nah go nuts. You can't officially upload dudes until the comp starts, but I'm sure you'll have time to kill at least a few dozen by then This can be a tough guy to start.
