Dara disposed of the fox, and met another mobile not far away and made short work of it, thus making it clear that this bash would NOT be moving at a snail's pace. Dara would follow up by ridding the bash of the piglet, the scorpion, the raven, four fireflies, and the magpie. While all this was going on, Highfields got rid of the bees and, despite being tired, was voted bash general. Spamton, meanwhile, was the non-muser of the group. As a result (according to the notes from Spamton's unpaid intern) Spamton grabbed a necklace on the way to obtain GLOW, but it got nicked by the thief shortly afterwards. However, armed with the staff he grabbed beforehand, Spamton decided to retaliate (and killed a dragonfly and a parrot as well in the process). Helmsman joined in the retaliation, but the thief fled - however, Spamton chased down the thief and got his revenge. Dara, meanwhile, encountered zombie8, while Heiach gave weird prefixes to everyone. (screenshot of later who list with strange prefixes) (from Dara's perspective) who Heiach the chimerical wizard Spamton the dragonfly-slaying, dragon-slaying, giant-killing, doomed, surrealist, rat-rustling, dwarf-dispatching, zombie-zonking, spamming superhero Highfields the tired, bash-general necromancer Dara the explara necromancess Helmsman the mayonnaise sorcerer Drizzle the wobbly mage You hit the zombie8 (10-14). You have killed the zombie8. (Persona saved on +38 = 30,412). A woodsman's old axe has been left within reach. The zombie8 has expired. get axe Axe1 taken. Spamton, after sleeping and recovering from the previous fights, went after the ram. Highfields took on the basilisk and did not let sudden noises stop him from dealing the final blow. While Dara was confronting the cellar's rat infestation, Highfields announced a pillar party, which the rest of the bash participants attended. (Meanwhile, someone was doing some mischief with the prefixes. Especially in regards to Spamton. To keep this writeup flowing, I'll have more detail in an 'appendix' post.) Afterwards, Dara and Helmsman returned to the cellar to deal with its rat problem. Spamton ventured into the underground stream/river/lake area to take on the water-snakes, despite being given ridiculous prefixes and postfixes. Helmsman fought with goblins while Dara ventured to the north mountain area to fight with the snowbird. Highfields showed up in the midst of this, having already disposed of the pony. Dara used a parasol (kindly provided by Highfields) to return from the north mountain area (since the pagoda was not open), and joined Highfields at the keep. [b]The Keep, and the mobile count reduced[/b] Highfields took out the wyvern and spectre, and Dara and Highfields joined forces to defeat the griffin. Elsewhere, the wolf let out a loud AAAOOOOOOHHHH as it was taken out of this bash. At this point, there were 89 mobiles left, with 75 minutes remaining. After Highfields and Dara defeated the maiden and crow0, they went their separate paths, with Highfields taking out coot while Dara hunted down the stag and the boar. By this point, the prefixes had become more sensible. who Heiach the chimerical wizard Spamton the watersnake-wrangling superhero Highfields the tired, bash-general necromancer Dara the explara necromancess Helmsman the dragon-slaying, mayonnaise sorcerer Drizzle the wobbly mage Well, almost more sensible. :) Anyway, Helmsman was having trouble in the evil wood, and Spamton stumbled onto the ox, before getting attacked by a particularly displeased billy goat. In Spamton's own words, "Spamton eventually managed to locate [[The Big One]] The longsword and promptly proceeded to beat up zombie2". Speaking of zombies, Dara found and took down zombie4, and kept the well-maintained pick2 to use as a weapon in the dwarf realm. Meanwhile, Helmsman to beat up sk1 and proceeded to sleep before getting back to his initial plan of beating up The Man. Helmsman and Spamton proceeded to beat up the not-so-defenceless old man around the swamp, which was a bit trickier than expected with him turning invisible frequently. Helmsman and Spamton then teamed up for further adventures (killing the vampire, the wraith, several goblins including the Exceptionally Large one, and the ghoul). Dara entered the dwarf citadel and fought with dwarfs. Highfields joined in the fight in the dwarf hall. Dara then took down the stocky dwarf guards and Highfields took down some other dwarfs. After the hefty dwarf guards went down, there was the following announcement. Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "only 30 left!". At this point, there were 52 minutes remaining in the bash. Highfields and Dara fought with the burly dwarf guards, then the dwarf king and queen. Just as dwarf flags were being lowered to half-mast, there was an incredibly loud >BOOM< from elsewhere in The Land as Helmsman had a mishap. But Helmsman bounced back from this, and dealt with the snugglepuss. Once the thickset dwarf guards were taken care of, there were 16 mobiles remaining, with 44 minutes left in the bash. Highfields and Dara took out surlies, while Spamton and Helmsman fought sealife, including the difficult to spell ichthyosaurus. [b]The Final Fifteen[/b] Dara, meanwhile, found a use for that phial she'd been carrying around when she fought with the spider (who is often one of the last 15 mobiles remaining). After Dara shouted to The Land reporting "Spider slain!", Highfields shouted WH reports on remaining mobiles. Highfields the tired, bash-general necromancer shouts "sk0". Highfields the tired, bash-general necromancer shouts "yes, i still shout wheres". A male voice in the distance shouts "[Dinghy] WITH [1CarefulOwner] ON JETTY [For the Low Low Price Of]". Your magical strength has worn off. For your information: there are 5 mobiles still alive. In the distance, you hear a low, reverberating sound. Highfields the tired, bash-general necromancer shouts "sk2 deadundead". Spamton, by this point, had trouble seeing the jellyfish, but in the end disposed of it and shouted reports of its demise (which were NOT exaggerated). A male voice in the distance shouts "Spanking sk0 currently, shark1 and jf still alive.". A male voice in the distance shouts "[INVISIBLE [REDACTED]] SLAIN". Highfields made it safer to go back into the water by ridding the sea of shark1. Dara and Highfields spotted the viper near the middle mountain/bank of river area, and Highfields was prepared with a phial. Dara and Highfields disposed of the viper, and Dara shouted "Viper gone, that leaves sk0, golem and one other!" There were only three mobiles left at this point. Helmsman was fighting sk0, and Spamton soon joined in that fight. Spamton's unpaid intern initially thought this would be a bad idea in hindsight, but it turned out that it was actually a very very good idea because the skeleton died. A male voice in the distance shouts "SK0 HAD [A Bad Time]". It has stopped raining. A male voice in the distance shouts "[Sleeping up] BEFORE [Profound Meditation]". Now there was just one other mobile besides the golem remaining. That one mobile turned out to be the dove, which Highfields discovered via WH was at the high altar. (Spamton's unpaid intern believes there may be a metaphor there somewhere). Once that was out of the way, everyone could give the golem (and how to reach it) their undivided attention. After Spamton, Highfields, and Helmsman went to various places to do their part, Highfields went into the inner sanctum, and soon afterward, the golem fell with the big announcement that the bash was successful. So after some otherwise unclaimed icons were swamped, most everyone returned to the tearoom, where Heiach wrote down this bash's time on his scoreboard and archives. This bash was successful with 24 minutes to spare. There was no pagoda, giants, or redwoods opening at any point, meaning that tough mobiles such as the tiger, the giants, and the smilodon were no-shows this week. The time of the bash, according to Heiach's record. (screenshot of Heiach's scoreboard goes here) 30/05/2024 - 24 minutes left (Helmsman, Spamton, Highfields & Dara) All in all, a successful bash, and the first one we've had in the past few months without either the pagoda or the giants. As I like to say, each bash is different, and each ends up telling a different story. We'll have to wait and see what stories future bashes may tell. Special thanks to Spamton's unpaid intern for contributing portions of this writeup, and to Highfields and Helmsman for further clarification. <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Zalagar on 01-06-2024 05:49 ]</font> [/quote]
