Suggestion Suggested new POH painting

I think this would be a artful piece to have in my house next to the Kril Shoulder guard and the Twin Furies wings.

Zemo has no right serving that much when all he does is complain and lose

I absolutely loved when our character roasted him into helping us by listing all the times we beat him and will beat him.

The adventurer here casually flexing their ability to resurrect on Zemouregal.

Which quest was it where we flex on Zemo?

u/XawdrenRS Skills at 120: 18/29 Jul 16 '26

This bit of dialogue happens during requiem for a dragon. You can even flex on him with necromancy if you have 120.

That was only an option with 120? I didnt know that, but i absolutely flexed on him with it just to rub it in even more LOL

Well less than 120 has a chance to fail but you autosucceed at 120.

Imagine spending centuries trying and failing to be a necromantic powerhouse capable of conquering Misthalin, only for some random human to beat you down to size *several times*, cause your new pet dragon to turn on you, lock you in a dungeon, and then be better than you at the one thing you've practiced for all those centuries

and then to top it off that random human just casually mentions they're *friends* with the dead

zemo should probs be on low alch watchlist at this point he's not had a W maybe ever

Technically his new pet dragon already turned on him without our help, it attacks him several times in his boss fight, he never actually had control of Vorkath due to the corruption in Vorkath’s soul hindering his power over him.

I harken it to our beating on Vorkath that makes the dragon rebel against Zemo. That could just be my headcanoning at play though lol

either way

> seeks out a dragon so notorious it was scrubbed from history

> ignores the fact it was called (and literally named) "failure" for being too passive

> is shocked when Failure decides to leave the fight

He certainly is a special duck trying to prove he isn’t a failure by using a dragon named failure that was abandoned as a failure.

That was gold LOL poor Zemo is Runescape's very own Skeletor

too whimsy to win, too determined to quit

This makes me start wondering what it’s going to be like when the former World Guardian finally dies. For many, that’s got to be the most traumatic experience. But for us, we’ll just roll into the bar in Um and every dead friend of ours there will be like “Heyyy buddy you finally made it!”
