Charge of the Light Brigade

Charge of the Light Brigade Achievement

Achievement granted for walking into a trap so catastrophic the AI declines to offer any reward for it.

Story so far

The instant Carl, Katia, and Prepotente crossed into the Temple of Khepri and the notifications resolved, the achievement fired. Its text distinguished ordinary traps from what they had just walked into, promised it would be glorious and one for the ages, and advised viewers at home to fetch their crying hankies because it was about to get really messy.

The reward line was blunt refusal: even the Dungeon AI wasn't enough of a prick to hand out a prize for this, though it offered a good one if Carl lived and didn't escape by some bitch-ass cop-out — while noting that realism suggested otherwise.
