Spamton, meanwhile, was fighting the water-snakes, and one water-snake in particular was giving Spamton some trouble. *A male voice in the distance shouts "THIS [[water-snake5]] IS BEING A TOUGH COOKIE". Spamton embarrassingly found himself having to flee from water-snake5 twice. After eventually killing the last of the water-snakes, Spamton looked around for a better weapon, found a promising-looking pick, and charged into battle against the ghoul. It didn't go too well. The second attempt went a lot better. Zedar, Highfields, and Dara, meanwhile, ventured down into the dwarf realm after the mine flood. In the dwarfen hall, femaledwarf34 and others challenged the intruders to a game of poker, but lost. Dara took down the stocky dwarf guards and the hefty dwarf guards, and managed to get three wafers in the process. Zedar took down the burly dwarf guards while Highfields dealt with more of the other dwarfs. Dara would be joined by Highfields in fighting the dwarf king and queen, and soon afterward, dwarf flags were lowered to half-mast. Dara and Zedar took down the thickset dwarf guards in the dwarf treasure chamber, and then fought with the surlies. Zedar used a number of UNFIT spells over the course of the bash, and this fight was a close one for him. Both Dara and Zedar won the fight, while some wafers were used up. *Zedar the dragon-slaying, bash admiral warlock says "...Zedar stayed on 22 health against the surly. After failing a TRIPLE unfit". With the surlies gone, it was 21 mobiles with 36 minutes to go. [b]Evil wood, sealife, and the rest[/b] At this point, it was the evil wood mobiles, the sealife, the golem, and some mobiles on the surface the players had overlooked before. Two crows were left over after the keep was raided earlier, and Dara and Highfields made short work of them. They both had the same idea to go after the swan in the man-made lake, but after that business was concluded, they joined Zedar in fighting the vampire in the evil wood. Here's how the fight with the vampire went down, from Dara's perspective: Your spell worked! You emit a bright magenta flash of light. You have suddenly and magically become fitter! *You hear a slicing sound, as Highfields the giant-killing necromancer hits the vampire with his two-handed sword. You hear a dull thud, as the vampire hits Highfields the giant-killing necromancer with his unlit brand7. The vampire makes some magical gestures. You emit a dark green flash of light. You have suddenly and magically become less adroit! *Highfields the giant-killing necromancer looks quickly at the vampire. *Highfields the giant-killing necromancer makes some magical gestures. Highfields the giant-killing necromancer emits a bright blue flash of light. *You miss the vampire. The vampire misses you. You hear a shudder, as Zedar the dragon-slaying, bash admiral warlock misses the vampire with his Valetant. You hear a shudder, as the vampire misses Zedar the dragon-slaying, bash admiral warlock with his unlit brand7. *Highfields the giant-killing necromancer makes some magical gestures. Highfields the giant-killing necromancer emits a bright green flash of light. *Highfields the giant-killing necromancer glances around. *q Zedar the dragon-slaying, bash admiral warlock thanks you. *ql You hear a stumble, as Highfields the giant-killing necromancer misses the vampire with his two-handed sword. You hear a swish, as the vampire misses Highfields the giant-killing necromancer with his unlit brand7. *ql foe The vampire looks moderately damaged. *You hear a swishing sound, as Highfields the giant-killing necromancer misses the vampire with his two-handed sword. You hear a stinging blow, as the vampire hits Highfields the giant-killing necromancer with his unlit brand7. You hit the vampire (20-29). The vampire looks seriously damaged.

You hear a parried blow, as the vampire misses Zedar the dragon-slaying, bash admiral warlock with his unlit brand7. The vampire makes some magical gestures. You have suddenly and magically gone blind! *A male voice says "down it goes". *u You hear a shudder. You hear fast movement. You hit someone (15-19). Someone hits you (60/120). You hear a stinging blow. You have killed the vampire. (Persona saved on +118 = 26,258). *unblind me Your spell worked! You have suddenly and magically regained your sight! *Zedar the dragon-slaying, bash admiral warlock has picked up the coracle. *Highfields the giant-killing necromancer has picked up the bucket. *n Zedar the dragon-slaying, bash admiral warlock has just left. *nw Highfields the giant-killing necromancer glances around. Yes, the vampire is definitely one of the tougher mobiles in The Land, and working together as a team to bring him down got faster results than if one of us attempted to solo the vampire (which is gamer speak for 'fighting it alone'). Zedar and Highfields would soon bring the wraith down as well. Zedar and Spamton would venture out to sea to fight the sealife, and Spamton grabbed the longsword en route to the shark. Highfields joined in with the shark-slaying, and soon Zedar announced the sharks were dead. There were now 12 mobiles left to go. *Zedar the dragon-slaying, bash admiral warlock shouts "jellyfish and whatnot still out there somewhere but im gonna blow up a giant, z". Shortly after that, the jellyfish went down. Spamton helped Highfields with the skeleton in the mausoleum, and proceeded to destroy the bookcase in the cottage to kill zombie8. Dara brought down the pony, and Highfields and Dara took out the snowbird. With the giant0 brought down explosively, we were down to six mobiles with 18 minutes left, and then five mobiles. At this point, people began to WH the remaining mobiles. *wh sk0 1 in the place known as "vertical staircase". *wh ox 1 in the place known as "small altar room". *A male voice in the distance shouts "man 2nd floor". *wh A male voice in the distance shouts "keep". *wh A male voice in the distance shouts "sk,sk,golem,ox + man THATS IT". *wh sh A male voice in the distance shouts "OX IN SMALL ALTAR". Skeleton0 was soon located at the bottom of the stairs east of the cannon room, while skeleton1 was in the upper areas of the mine near the side passage and the platform with the shed. Zedar rushed to deal with sk0, and asked for a magical unfit assistance against sk0, which Dara provided. Sk1 was found at platform, and was attacked by Highfields. After being able to hold it together the whole set, sk1 just fell apart. [b]The Golem[/b] This left only the golem to be dealt with, and the golem is difficult to reach, requiring three different people meditating in three different spaces so that one of them can go in and fight the golem. Dara, Zedar, and Spamton proceeded to do so, and it was expected that Zedar would go in. However, there was an exclamation of surprise, and we realized someone had gone in who wasn't expecting to be the one to confront the golem. *A male voice in the distance shouts "i waited 6 seconds :(". *wh spamton Your spell doesn't find any. *sh Uh oh. You shout "Uh oh.". *A male voice in the distance shouts "okay lets focus on solving this". *A male voice in the distance shouts "SPAMTON G SPAMTON FIGHTING THE BIG ONE". Indeed, in a surprise twist, Spamton (then a hero) ended up in the outer sanctom. According to Spamton's unpaid intern, Spamton was just as surprised as everyone else when he found himself face-to-face with THE GOLEM. Spamton was the lowest-leveled of the bash participants, and was probably the least prepared. But there were still three of us left in the mainland, ready to med another person in. We then got another surprise. Zedar the warlock tells you "ready to med?". *Zedar yes You tell your listeners "yes". *who Zedar the warlock Spamton the hero Dara the giant-killing necromancess Highfields the giant-killing necromancer Drizzle the wobbly mage *med A male voice in the distance shouts "IT'S CLOSE TO [[DEATH]]". *med You feel as if a tremendous evil has been rid from The Land! No pawns of darkness sully it with their presence. The relief of generations of souls floods through your being! (Persona saved on +3,000 = 29,159). *me A male voice in the distance cheers. *ch A male voice in the distance cheers. *che A male voice in the distance cheers. *cheer You cheer. *who Zedar the warlock Spamton the superhero Dara the giant-killing necromancess Highfields the giant-killing necromancer Drizzle the wobbly mage *A male voice in the distance cheers. *A male voice in the distance shouts "very good bash all, very well done". *A male voice in the distance yodels "Well frombled!". Indeed, with some thanks to the longsword he nabbed along the way (and the breastplate someone else left him out of pity), Spamton managed to survive his battle against his newfound metal foe. The bash was successful with three minutes left to spare. Spamton, meanwhile, found himself in the embarrassing situation of being marooned on the vicious rocks, but luckily Dara was there to lend a pointer to help him get back to dry land. After swamping the icons and some remaining treasure, everyone headed to the tearoom for the last minute or so. And so everyone spent the last minute chatting along with Drizzle. Transcript of the post-bash chat follows, copy-pasted from Dara's viewpoint: Dara the necromancess says "Well, that was a good bash.". Highfields the necromancer agrees. Auto-reset initiated, you have 120 seconds to finish up. No further warnings will be issued! Drizzle the wobbly mage screams. Zedar the warlock says "It was a good one aye :)". Zedar the warlock screams. Drizzle the wobbly mage asks "Did you use up all of your spare knees?". A male voice in the distance cheers. Spamton the superhero has just arrived. Zedar the warlock says "Beeps at the ready. I'm off at the reset my brother wants me - but I will be placing notes. Unlikely I can make next Thurs". Dara the necromancess says "First one we've had this year withouut pagoda.". *Zedar the warlock says "well done everyone. well done on the golem spamton". *Zedar the warlock has given Drizzle the wobbly mage a great big hug! Zedar the warlock has given Highfields the necromancer a great big hug! Zedar the warlock gives you a great big hug! (Persona saved on +8 = 29,623). Zedar the warlock has given Spamton the superhero a great big hug! *You now feel up to attacking other players, should you so desire. *Highfields the necromancer salutes. *Zedar the warlock says "Oh wow. Yes, that definitely helped". *Drizzle the wobbly mage says "It was good to see you again.". *Spamton flashes his trademark award-losing smile *Zedar the warlock says "Very good fun. It was good to see you too, and everyone. I'll try and chat in the discord during the week". *Zedar the warlock says "Thanks all :)". *smile OK, Dara the necromancess smiles. *"Indeed. Dara the necromancess says "Indeed.". *"Thanks! Dara the necromancess exclaims "Thanks!". *sip tea You watch the world go by. *Spamton the superhero smiles. *Spamton the superhero cheers. *Drizzle plends. *Drizzle PANICS!!! *laugh OK, Dara the necromancess laughs. *Drizzle the wobbly mage beeps "BEEP". *Drizzle the wobbly mage beeps "BEEP". *Drizzle the wobbly mage beeps "BEEP". *Something magical is happening. (Persona saved on 29,623). I don't usually post too much from the post-bash chats (usually I just summarize them), but I thought since this was short enough, I thought it'd be a fun way to wrap up this writeup. In summary, the players finished the bash with three minutes to spare, and pagoda did not open at any point during the bash. It looks like the pagoda mobiles decided to take the week off. This was indeed a fun bash, with a nice twist at the end with Spamton and the golem. As I said at the end of the previous week's writeup, no two bashes are alike. Every bash ends up telling its own story. Who knows what stories will be told by future bashes? Special thanks to Spamton's unpaid intern, who practically co-wrote this writeup, and to Zedar and Highfields who supplied more information. All in all, an incredible bash. [/quote]
