Grum: A tough-looking gnoll, wearing the pelt of one of his former war dogs. /// Grunn: A brutally twisted undead gnoll in the eternal service of Ereshkigal, lord of Tartarus. Legend has it that he sold his soul to return his most beloved hunting dog to life. Whether that hound is a member of his current pack, none can say.
Species | Background | Gods |

Gnoll | Summoner | Yredelemnul or Kikubaaqudgha |
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.
This challenge was changed in 2023 from Okawaru to Yredelemnul or Kikubaaqudgha, since Okawaru no longer allows for summons.
Don't cast any conjurations spells. "Conjurations-like" spells such as poisonous vapours, ignition, etc. are fine.
Don't use a shield. Amulets of reflection are allowed.
Collect 5 runes.
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.
Have a canine of each type in the game visible in LOS at the same time. Summons count, but undead don't.
Full list of doggos: Jackal, Hound, Wolf, Warg, Hell Hound, Raiju, Doom Hound.
I'm going to be pretty lenient about missing a canine or two, since it's pretty clear that monster appearance is too unpredictable. Hell Hounds, Raiju, and Doom Hounds are always going to be required though, and you should try to get a Jackal unless the RNG really screws you over.
Get the Abyssal rune from Abyss:5, before entering the Depths.
Bonus challenges are worth one star each, similar to banners in Crawl tournaments. Small mistakes will usually be forgiven.
The main way to score points. +5 points each, and can be done in any order.
