'''Penance Runners''' are monsters encountered during the [[Barbarian Assault]] [[minigame]]. They have no combat level, do not attack, and cannot be attacked. However, they must be killed before they reach the cave on the south side of the battlefield, or the Defender will lose the team three points. To do this, the Defender must either lure the runners onto traps with bait (Tofu, Crackers or Worms) or lure them enough so other players may use the Cannon to dispose of the Runners themselves.

At the traps, if the Runner says ''Blurghh'', this means that the wrong bait has been placed, and the trap has failed and it will then run North. And if the Runner says ''Chomp chomp'', this means that the Runner has taken the bait, and the trap will go off, which will kill it immediately. It is possible to kill multiple runners at once if they approach the trap at the same time.

Penance Runners are monsters encountered during the Barbarian Assault minigame. They have no combat level, do not attack, and cannot be attacked. However, they must be killed before they reach the cave on the south side of the battlefield, or the Defender will lose the team three points. To do this, the Defender must either lure the runners onto traps with bait (Tofu, Crackers or Worms) or lure them enough so other players may use the Cannon to dispose of the Runners themselves.

At the traps, if the Runner says Blurghh, this means that the wrong bait has been placed, and the trap has failed and it will then run North. And if the Runner says Chomp chomp, this means that the Runner has taken the bait, and the trap will go off, which will kill it immediately. It is possible to kill multiple runners at once if they approach the trap at the same time.

Runners can also be damaged with red eggs or lured with blue eggs fired from the Egg launcher. Contrary to popular belief, using the cannon to kill Runners does not cause the team to lose points, nor does it prevent the Defender from gaining any from killing it themselves. The Defender does not gain points for the team in their role directly, the points earned are from the entire team's efforts.

Trivia

  • The Penance Runner's original graphical model resembled the Flood Carrier organism from the Halo series.
