TIAMAT's CHALLENGE

[Lxndr]

This is a contest about the prismatic items.

In addition to being a Babylonian goddess, Tiamat part-times as the only chromatic dragon in the entirety of D&D. She has five heads. (Prismatic = chromatic)

ANYWAY. Since the prismatic items seem to be unloved, and this is the Prismatic Item month (forever and ever and ever, you hear me, Kinak?! )

SO, this is a contest to be the first person to go through one Trainee retcon for each of the classes. Prizes include:

* the Dreampants
* the Prismatic Sports Bra
* the current items

(frustratingly, I could not get my hands on an Axe; if I manage to get one of them, I will add that to the contest stash)

First come, first served.

Post in this thread to announce your intentions. Your retcons will only count AFTER that point.

[zillow]

I guess I'll try.

[Harry Dresden]

Sign me up! I'll run Dresden II through a contest like that. Just wish you had posted this BEFORE I started a new run yesterday. >_>

[acidcat]

I'll definitely play!

Do we just start now?

[Harry Dresden]

Hardware wants in, as well. He's having to create a forum account, so I'm posting for him so he can start a run this afternoon instead of waiting until tomorrow if it takes that long for the account creation.

[acidcat]

No. Way!

Mara, remind me to never try and beat you in speedrunning. Not physically possible

Out of interest, did you use SQUIDs?

[Cristiona]

No question about it, especially for the middle two runs.

[acidcat]

No question about it, especially for the middle two runs.

That would be reassuring. My first run without SQUIDs was 1d 7h 28m 20s, which was slow, but otherwise...

[Cristiona]

Heh. Well, that 10h59m run is getting really close to the theoretical minimum, so... yeah. Lotsa squiddies

[Hardware]

Yeah, no way could I have hoped to finish even close to that quickly. I finished one run, and will probably finish my second either tonight or tomorrow. I'll still finish the remaining runs, even though a winner has been determined. I said I would, so I'm gonna.

These seem pretty consistent, Don't think I'd be able to go much faster than these without using squid discs. I did learn a thing or two on the first run though which is why the later 3 are a decent chunk faster. Fraydays make a helluva difference!

Better late than never.

[Hardware]

He hasn't been online since May 3, so something must have come up in his life. Hopefully, he'll pop back in soon.

[Hardware]

Or, maybe not.

[Harry Dresden]

At least it was an easy contest. I'll come up with something for July with some good prizes.

[Lxndr]

OKAY!

So, I got a new job in a new city, and had to move. Then things just got stupid, and I forgot about this game.

Who won?

[Lxndr]

1. mara
2. acidcat
3. hardware

Is that true?

[Cristiona]

I believe so.
