In compliment to the Ways to Die (http://www.adom.de/forums/showthread.php?t=245) thread, let's have a little thought on the other fun aspect of ADOM - ways to kill or dispose of enemies. I'm a little more vague on my thoughts here of what ones count as individual... Some ideas that come to mind:
1. Attack in melee.
2. Hit with missiles.
3. Hurt with damage-dealing spells.
4. Zap an offensive wand.
5. Death ray spell.
6. Petrification spell.
7. Wand of death.
8. Wand of destruction.
9. Throwing gold coins (merchants).
10. Order a pet to kill the enemy.
11. Lure onto an existing trap.
12. Create a trap.
13. Set off a fireball trap.
14. Lure onto an alarm trap to get others to kill it.
15. Lure it to a friendly NPC to kill.
16. Create an ice bridge, get the enemy on the ice, zap a fire spell and watch it drown.
17. Same, but with chaos pirahnas.
18. Bring into the water dragon's cave.
19. Bring into the top level of the ToEF.
20. Poison.
21. Bleed it to death.
22. Use a potion of exchange to turn it into something else.
23. Get the enemy into the path of another enemy's breath weapon.
24. Acid spit!
25. Extra damage from ego weapon (lightning strokes and such).
Editted to include:
26. Sacrifice.
27. Mindcraft - mental damage.
28. Mindcraft - physical damage.
29. Shadow Touch (necromancer class power).
30. Instakill (assassin class power).
31. Instakill humanoids (monk class power).
32. Turning into a writhing mass of primal chaos.
33. Fireball from fire orb.
34. Putting fire orb into fire anomaly.
35. Earthquake (from spell, wand or orb).
36. Wail of banshee.
37. Pouring holy water on Griff's grave.
38. Luring or commanding into vortex.
39. Setting off a vortex (to kill it itself).
40. Let a bee kamikaze you.
41. Wait for the puppy to die.
42. Light on gremlins (from wand, spell, crystal or phial).
43. Elemental storm (elementalist class power).
44. Botched alchemy.
45. Crystals of fire.
46. Get them to berserk themselves to death.
47. Healing spells on undead.
48. Bless spells on undead.
49. Backstabbing (special death message).
50. Executor (special death message).
51. Vanquisher (special death message).
52. Skullcrusher (special death message).
53. Giving poisoned food to NPCs.
54. Chatting with Khelavaster instead of giving him a AoLS.
There must be many more... Think up your own and I'll update the list to include them.
