The Dryad's Challenge

[Gengel]

Do you think you are Strong enough? Is the Power within you? And... are you green enough?

If you are truly Gifted, then take the Dryad Challenge!

Still interested at such a simple task? Then listen closely and listen wisely. The Challenge is to defeat a single, unnamed, Nasty. Stop your dwarven boasts and heed the rules.

1. The Gifted must be a Level One, yes One, Adventure School
2. The Gifted can not have any outside assistance such as heals, boons, banes or distractions.
3. The Gifted can only have Gifts, Boons and 'what nots' that she casts/effects upon herself.
4. And one last thing... the Nasty must be a Tier 6 or higher. (Rating 101 or greater).

So, er, brave warrior, get up out of your Tavern seat and show actions instead of drunken stupor bravado.

Think the task impossible? Well, do not fear. This meek winged-one toiled at such an adventure. If you seek the telling, then peruse:

where did all those abilities and spells come from if the player was level 1?

i mean, awesome accomplishment no matter what, taking on a elite blight, but i am wondering (couldn't see in the vid) what the overall rating is.......

Sorry...for the lack of details...

I did not wish to "cloud" the challenge by my approach or treat this as a "look what I did" post, but more of something fun to do for seasoned adventurers.

...but here goes...

I think I was a Rating 147 at the time. The Mastered Abilities I used were:

1. Ice Barrier
2. Illustrious Stand
   
3. Foresight
   
4. Forest Mist
5. Field Of Growth
6. SpellBind
7. Dispel
8. Instant Heal
9. Group Instant Heal
   

Racial Abilities - Dryad Dazzle when it got scary

The spells were very basic:

1. Quick Revitalize
2. Piercing Spirit Bolt
3. Gifts
4. Energy Resist
