    This is a great opening to ask the single dumbest ADOM question I have: is there a way to tell, before descending, which stairs go to the Heavenly Area? I would probably mess that up for this challenge and/or for a Lithium Man challenge.

    Sometimes. The stairs to the heavenly area can appear in spaces that a normal set of stairs can't, such as in the same room as the upstairs, next to a wall, or somewhere that just looks "unnatural" to the trained eye. Unfortunately for lithium man, it's also possible for them to appear in a normal-looking location. However, entering the Heavenly Area is not an issue for the week 13 challenge, so long as you remember which stair is which and don't descend a second time.

    These challenges are just the kind of thing Jellyslayer would do. I feel sorry for not participating, you´re putting so much work into this. It's just.. the challenges are a tad too masochistic for me. Maybe I could play one of these games if I deliberately ignore some of the challenges (like just a straight normal dark elf wizard win), but that feels too cheap, it would defeat the purpose.

    I don't know about that, the whole point of the point system is to do as many as you can.

    Week 12 for example, I've never been able to get the materials to actually enter the gate, so destroy the universe, and bring Andor Drakon to 90% HP or lower is straight out, but I could kill monsters with just coins (I frequently do that when playing merchant.) And I could certainly make a good try at a normal win.

    While I don't normally participate 6 points is not a bad score and definitely achievable in most of these.

    That said I am trying this one, no way I'm going to kill the casino shopkeeper but I can probably do the rest. (though the last attempt I caught myself storing potions instead of drinking them so another restart for me.)
