Headhunt

In the game: help headhunt

A headhunt is a simple type of quest run by the gods. They are NOT run on request. In a headhunt, those who participate try to spell out the announced word or phrase in heads. For instance, if a newbie was trying to spell "TOP" they might get the heads of a treant, otyugh, and priest from around Daleville. Only the name of the creature (the noun) counts for the letter. For instance, "small mouse" would only count for M, not S. To get the head off a corpse, 'behead corpse' while wielding a cutting weapon.

  1. You must collect the heads after the headhunt is announced, not use heads you previously had.
  2. The creatures you kill must not be far far below you in level. For instance, an adept should not kill creatures under level 25 or so. Anything a newbie can kill is acceptable for a newbie.
  3. You may not use more than one of any type of head.
  4. The first to shout or gossip to the gods that they have the complete set of heads wins. Only one person wins for each phrase.
  5. You may not receive help from outside the level range announced for the word you are trying to spell.
