Ambitious Imp — an NPC in Remixed Dungeon that offers quests to the player in the City (5th dungeon level).

• Type: NPC
• Behavior: Friendly NPC, offers quests

Imps are low-level demons. They're not known for their strength or magical might, but are quite intelligent and sociable. Many imps prefer to live with non-demons. The Ambitious Imp wants to start a business in the dungeon but faces problems from golems or monks.

The Ambitious Imp offers two possible quests:

• Golem Quest: Kill 6 golems in the City (5th dungeon level)
• Monk Quest: Kill 8 monks in the City (5th dungeon level)

After completing the quest, the player receives a ring at +2 level, enchanted but cursed (the curse can be removed with a scroll of remove curse).

• Type: NPC (Non-Player Character)
• Location: City level (depth 17-22)
• Spawn Chance: Random chance (higher at lower city depths)
• Spawn Condition: Dungeon depth > 16 with random chance of (20 - depth)
• Quest Type: Kill quest with 2 possible variations:
  • Golem Quest: Kill 6 Golems and collect their tokens
  • Monk Quest: Kill 8 Monks and collect their tokens
• Defensive Ability: Cannot be harmed (1000 defense skill, no damage taken)
• Reward: A specially upgraded ring (level 2, but cursed)

• Approaches the hero and offers a quest when first seen
• Reacts differently depending on whether the hero has tokens from required enemies
• Vanishes after quest completion, saying “See you, [Hero Name]!”
• If the hero has enough tokens when talking to the Imp, the reward window appears
• Quest is only active when the Imp has given the quest and it's not completed
• Doesn't attack the player
• Interacts with the player when approached
• Respawns in the City after killing golems or monks depending on the quest
• May disappear after completing the quest

• Golem Quest Option: Alternative quest requiring 6 Golem tokens
• Monk Quest Option: Alternative quest requiring 8 Monk tokens
• Each time a targeted enemy is killed during an active Imp quest, a Dwarf Token will drop
• Reward is a random ring from the level treasury, upgraded to +2 but cursed

• This quest is generally worth completing as the ring reward is valuable despite being cursed
• The quest is often easier if you can avoid the required enemy type until you're stronger
• The cursed ring can be uncursed later with a Scroll of Remove Curse
• Since Imps are unkillable, they're safe to interact with even when low on health
