'''Zot Defence''' is a tower-defense-styled variation on [[Dungeon Crawl]]. After selecting one of the five available scenarios and character to play as, you are placed on a map and tasked with defending the [[Orb of Zot]] from all threats. Monsters will be generated in waves, swarming in from the upstairs. You must prevent the monsters from reaching the [[Orb of Zot]], which you may not pick up or apport.

During each turn in which a hostile monster stands over the Orb, you suffer one point of [[rot]] damage. Each time you go up one [[experience]] level, you receive a new special "Zot Ability" which will aid you in protecting the Orb; the use of these abilities expends Zot Points, which are gained concurrently with experience.

The waves of monsters grow in strength over time; at the end of each wave, an out-of-depth "boss" monster is generated. Every few waves, a [[rune]] is generated on the stairs along with the boss monster. You may pick up the Orb, and leave the dungeon with it, if you are carrying fifteen runes.
