I have no clue about how the elementalist class power works on D:49.

Assuming that using the GTB (which I had completely forgotten could destroy walls, provided I even knew at one point, goes to show what a noob I still can be) does not propel you (as it shouldn't), this is the method I found, with the walls that need to be destroyed marked with X:

This translates to 23 wall squares that need to be cleared in this manner, which by sorear's math translates to about four and a half corruptions. Painful, but not impossible.

If the elementalist ability works the same way - you dig, but don't move into the square - then elementalists are by far the easiest class to take through D:49 - provided you get them to level 50, which is not trivial (and might end up creating similar amounts of corruption). I doubt D:49 can be earthquaked too.

(Yes, I shamelessly stole the screenshot from the Guidebook. Props if you realized this before you marked the spoiler!)

EDIT: Oh, and by the way, grobble, last I checked you couldn't drink potions or read scrolls of the ground - you'd have to pick them up - which violates the rules

EDIT2: Tweaked the route - now you can even go back

I was responding to Almack, who was responding to Grey who talked about the "starving man" challenge.

Dumbass.

Couldn't piety be used to refill PP's? Yeah, it would eat up a few,
but would reduce corruption.

The gods will only refill PPs if you know at least one spell. Normally this is not an issue due to potions and wands of wonder...

Is that in the 'minor things, but undocumented' thread?
Because if it isn't, it ought to be. I had no idea.
