* AndIMustScream: When you're in the DM column of a dungeon, your pools don't regenerate unless you sleep. But when you sleep, you can't control the DM avatar and it goes around doing evil things in the dungeon while wearing your face. Melos spent a decade fighting to stay awake and struggling to live with the atrocities "he" committed every time his need for sleep overwhelmed him. One of your pools is sanity, meaning Melos did all this while barely able to function mentally.
* HeroicWillpower: See what Melos put up with for a decade under And I Must Scream.
* OffScreenMomentOfAwesome: In the immediate aftermath of the fight against the Lich that used to be Grissle, Melos found himself in the damaged heart of an impossibly complex dungeon construct put together by a genius, completely bereft of allies and facing the possibility that an entire kingdom was about to be destroyed in the most thorough fashion imaginable. And even in his weakened state following the fight, he managed to stabilize the dungeon and summon five powerful demons capable of mimicking his dead friends while binding them thoroughly enough, ''on the fly'', that they could only undermine him very subtly over the next decade.
