Iron DM 2009 - FINAL MATCH - it's over!

[phoamslinger]

ok, Rechan vs Atras; your ingredients will be going up at around midnight tonight. you will have until midnight Sunday to finish. I came up with a very challenging set (and then decided to save them for later in the contest). so the list you'll be getting will be much friendlier

be ready.

IVV, I also liked your entry very much. I also have a small question:
[sblock] Why a glabrezu ? They're tempters so that kind of fits, but how about the ghoulish Maurezhi. ? Wouldn't that have been a great monster for the food/gluttony theme? [/sblock]

My match is over, so I'll talk about it without sblocks.

I felt the glabrezu, being a tempter, was a better choice in this case because he wasn't about gluttony, but comparative advantage in nutrition. Imagine if no one could cook anything. We wouldn't be able to eat pretty much any grasses--no wheat, rice, corn, etc. For the most part, we'd starve. The comparative advantage in nutrition gives such a leg up, it's all the temptation he needs. Furthermore, the glabrezu can cast reverse gravity, which the monastery appropriated to be able to fly over the volcano. The challenge rating of the glabrezu was also better for a party at levels 7-8: too high for direct combat, but too low to trivially crush the party as collateral damage. Finally, the Maurezhi are more about eating than about cooking. Also, the Maurezhi aren't particularly intelligent--it would be more hard pressed for one to maintain the focus over five thousand years to eventually escape. I felt that for all the above reasons, the glabrezu was the best fit for the adventure.

Certainly a challenging competition. I look forward to seeing what CleverNickName puts in!

Also, I really like those elements for the 4th contest. Some of those are quality.

Nice entry, CNN. You've got some really good ideas going on there.
