Is anyone doing this?
I wasn't sure if I was going to or not, but then i thought, Dungeon crawl, that would be easy and not take much time, so a couple days later I'm playtesting and nitpicking details. I might have gotten a little carried away on this one.

A little about it, It's called Gauntlet Challenge

Inspired by the arcade game that I've put hundreds of quarters into.
Go to Peligiad Halfway Tavern and talk to the Mage in the Exquisite Blue Robe. You can't miss him. Select Travel and enter the Gauntlet Challenge.

There are ten levels. I used a lot of Leveled creatures so they will change depending on what your level is. So if you think that leveling up will help you you'll just have stronger opponents.

Some of the levels have locked doors and chests but there is a key for that level that unlocks most of them. Not every level requires or has a key. You can still lockpick or spell unlock. There are no exit doors, only a teleportal to the next level. You can use mark and recall.

I included a lot of health and magicka potions and some items to help you out, but you'd still better be well equiped, no matter if you're level 1 or level 20.

The final Teleportal on level 10 teleports you to a treasure room, with gold, potions, and other items scattered all over the floor. You will get a message on the message box telling you you have 30 seconds to gather as much treasure as you can. When your 30 seconds is up it will display 'Times Up' and teleport you to Seyda Neen.

*spoiler* You can use mark in the treasure room but you'll have only 30 seconds each time you enter.

*spoiler* The last door has no key but there is an unlock scroll in the level.

I used GenMod because of two reasons
1) It gave it the look and feel I was going for
2) It saved a lot of time

I almost had a heart attack when the treasure room script worked like it was supposed to on the first try with no errors. It's a simple script but I'm Not a programming wiz.

Might conflict with other mods made with GenMod as I changed some of the container content. Shouldn't be earth shattering but the latest mod would overwrite the container if it has the same ID.

I'm putting the final touches on it now and will submit it shortly, If it meets the criteria. It's less than 2 Megs uncompressed so i will be uploading it to the downloads anyway. I retextured a few items and used someone's teleportal model, I'll have to check who's it is so I can give credit.

Here's a pic of the last teleportal on level 10.

Should be fun if more people participated in competitions like this. think Im out to late to get into this competiton, but I will be ready for the next one.

If there was about 20 people who participated in the competition, then the 10 best Dungeoncrawls could be merged into one Esp, adding various new Dungeons to MW, and then be posted on Tes Source and MW summit. I like that idea, what do "you" think? :D

Nice, I will check it out :), and yes, there are not alot of people doing this, but its kinda fun anyway, if more people participated, it would be cool to do a dungeon-crawl pack and then upload it at MW summit and Tessource :P

2 years? Its been about 3 months by now, but not two years. However, I do agree that it is over with the time limit thoroughly passed.
