Crawl Cosplay Challenge
Crawl Cosplay Challenge 
Set 6 Week 666 : Geryon, Gatekeeper of Hell
A huge, three-headed, winged arch-demon, guardian of the four Hells. Legends say that his silver horn can summon terrible beasts to aid him in battle.
| Species | Background | Gods |
|---|---|---|
| Naga | Gladiator | Hepliaklqana |
The Species, Background, and God choices are all mandatory. You must be worshipping one of the gods listed above before entering Lair, Orcish Mines, the Vaults or Depths, unless this isn't possible in which case you must worship them as soon as you can. Don't use faded altars (except in challenges where you can choose any god), and don't do anything to lose your religion unless otherwise specified.
NOTE: Except for Beogh, Ignis, Jiyva and Lugonu, an altar for the other gods will ALWAYS show up by D:10.

Cosplay conduct points
- 1. Weapons
Train only Fighting and Polearms for weapon skills. Choose a polearm for your starting weapon.
- 2. Allies
Train Evocations or Summonings to 16 by XL27.
- 3. Evocations
Use the Horn of Geryon at least 27 times.
Conducts are worth +5 points each, to a maximum of half your score from milestones, rounded down. (So if you achieve 4 milestones (20 points) you can earn up to 10 points from conduct bonuses.) Small mistakes in following conducts will usually be forgiven.
Bonus challenges
- 1. The Snake Of Jealousy
Kill Geryon before entering any runed floor. (If you happen to be sent to Abyss:3 or deeper, don't get the Abysal rune before killing Geryon).
- 2. I Sure As Hell...
Win with the number "666" in your turn count somewhere. The numbers must be consecutive, so 106662 counts but 160665 doesn't.
By default the main display shows the time elapsed, not number of turns. Press E or % to see your current turn count.
Escaping the dungeon takes one turn, so if you're counting on the last three digits, press < at xxx665 turns.
Bonus challenges are worth one star each, similar to banners in Crawl tournaments. Small mistakes will usually be forgiven.
Milestones
- Reach XL3.
- Enter Lair, Orc, or Depths.
- Reach the bottom of D, Lair, or Orc.
- Collect your first rune.
- Find the entrance to Zot. (Just using magic mapping doesn't count.)
- Collect your third rune.
- Win the game.
The main way to score points. +5 points each, and can be done in any order.
