New Prospects

The New Prospects dungeon is the  Tinker bronze challenge. The level follows the eastern (snow) tileset, and is otherwise a unique dungeon with a bit of water on both sides.

Preparations

None allowed.

Resources Available

There are normal glyphs, at least  BURNDAYRAZ is fixed. There are regular shops. There are no subdungeons or altars.

Special Rules

There are no monsters above level 4, so it is generally impossible to reach a level higher than 5-6. Furthermore, when the player levels up, the boss also levels up. You lose 1 gold every time you're hit.

Monsters

This dungeon hosts some special monsters:

Cutpurse: ( Thief icon)

Cutthroat: ( Assassin icon, Poison, Mana Burn)

Ratling: ( Ratling icon, Retaliate:Fireball, Fast Regen)

 Bandit: Curse Bearer

Boss

The boss is Cutty Snark ( Rogue icon, Level 5+, Attack 22+, Health 55+, First Strike). Each time you level up, Cutty also levels up. This completely heals her, and makes her Attack and Health progressively higher. Due to her healing, it is impossible to benefit from a mid-fight level-up against her.

Strategy

Recommended race: Any

Cutty is not a very strong boss, however as you will need to fight her at a 4-level disadvantage, she will still require a bit of thought. Perhaps the easiest strategies are melee fighting with a  Halfling Tinker, or fireballs with a  Gnome Tinker.
