A Valentines Day Variant

Class: Warrior or Sorcerer
Tag: DIL

Introduction

Almost every night he stops in and has a pint, hoping someday she'll take notice of him. Her cheery "Good day! How may I serve you?" sets his heart all-a-flutter. How can he impress her, and win Gillian's heart?! (Note: Dil is Hindi word for heart)

Items

No restriction on items.

Quests

Piner
The DIL will visit Gillian everyday, and try to find out the latest about Tristram and its inhabitants.

Reasoning that maybe a fine gift of jewelry and brave deeds may win her heart, the DIL sets off for the dungeon in search of brave deeds and fine jewels. His goal is to save 3 damsels (rogues) in distress, and to find a perfect jewel.

Seeker
Having heard these brave tales and accepting the gift of the jewel, the DIL begins to think he has a chance! Yet Gillian remains aloof. Hmmm... he'll have to show himself to be even braver, and find some nice jewels.

Complete the set (2 rings, amulet) by finding 2 more perfect jewels, of a better type, to present to his heartthrob. He must also prove a certain level of maturity, 15th lvl.

Courter
Now the DIL really starts to get serious about winning Gillian's heart.

He must slay Diablo to prove his honor, and must find a Ring of Engagement so he can pop the question!

Jealous
How could she not accept his valiant offer?? The DIL is crushed - what can he do? Does Gillian want even nicer jewelry? Is she just playing hard to get? This calls for several approaches!

i) Find (or trade for, if truly desperate) a perfect jewel of the best type (ruby, sapphire, zodiac, etc.)

ii) See if she can be made jealous, by spending 100,000 at Adria's shop.

iii) Slay the Butcher, Lazarus and Diablo on Nightmare difficulty.

Desperate
Well, she's not outright rejecting the poor DIL, yet he can make no progress with Gillian :-( There's really only three things left to try...

i) Buy a choice item costing over 100,000 from her dear friend Wirt

ii) Find, beg, borrow or steal a perfect diamond jewel iii) And face the ultimate challenge: defeat Diablo under Hellish difficulty.

Heartbroken
When Gillian still does not respond to his tender affections, the DIL's heart breaks. He never sets foot again in Ogden's Tavern or visits Gillian, and he vows to start over and forget her. To help do so he will start or change his subclass completely.
