Dungeon Keeper Ami/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Mercury versus Malleus. Mercury doesn't know how to make Dungeon Hearts? Why not take on an experienced Keeper who is down to their last dungeon heart, and who has turned their Dungeon into a giant meat grinder designed to wipe out invading armies. Oh, and this is done in the second week or so of Mercury being a Dungeon Keeper.
  • Mercury's Azzathra-sponsored duel with the Reaper. Alone, in an arena designed specifically to disadvantage people like her and prevent any clever trick she might pull, against a reputably unstoppable Lightning Bruiser, with her advantages methodically stripped away from her one-by-one. A "duel" that was, for all intent and purpose, a particularly showy public execution. And yet, despite it all, she starts her tradition of Defeating the Undefeatable.
  • Mercury versus Zarekos. An ancient vampire and the sole Keeper of the Avatar Isles, he was an extremely powerful foe. Her solution? Scry-and-die. Teleport behind him mid-battle during the night, catch him, teleport him to the other side of the world where it's the middle of the day (and above the ocean, thus combining two vampiric weaknesses). Sure, he had contingencies, but still an amazing victory that turned the tide of the war. The fact that she was dealing with several other threats simultaneously didn't hurt.
  • Nero casting the Armageddon spell, thus teleporting all of Ami's minions to his base for a fight to the death? Check. Keepers Arachne and Alphel both using that opportunity to attack Mercury's base, while only she can defend it? Check. Alphel boosting herself for that fight by possessing a legendarily gigantic, unstoppable dragon? Check. Alphel making what was already an amazingly unfair fight even worse by the use of a dark god-given anti-magic stare? Check. Ami still finding a way to win? CHECK AND MATE.
  • Why hello there, Avatar! Utterly unstoppable, ridiculously powerful champion of the gods? You don't say! Able to shrug off any attack, any spell, any trap Mercury throws at you? My my! A legendary One-Man Army that gives Keepers nightmares? Blessed steel plate armor that protects you oh so thoroughly? Very impressive! But...you've never heard of electromagnets, have you? Mercury has.
  • The Incarnation of Extinction, a Lesser Aspect of Crowned Death. Totally impervious to all non-spiritual attacks. Beat the snot out of a Horned Reaper. In a position where it could potentially incarnate into the material world, allowing Crowned Death to directly influence it. What did Mercury do? She absorbed all of its energy. She didn't just punch out Cthulhu here, she ATE HIM.
  • Ami's attempt to dominate one of Crowned Death's undead dungeon hearts in its underwater temple resulted in her being attacked mentally by Crowned Death. Enter her sister Tiger, who possesses Ami, uses that link to connect to the heart, and orders the heart to flood the underwater temple with chlorine triflouride. The result: the stone temple catches on fire. The sand of the ocean floor it crashes into catches on fire. And the water surrounding the temple explodes. This destroys the temple, obliterates the power source of a set of ancient magical artifacts used by Crowned Death's priests, and kills a second Incarnation of Extinction.
