The players also had the opportunity to face mobiles they don't often face during mobile bashes. When the bash started, the WHO list was something like this: Thwomp the wayward wizard Crazyfool the stand-up wizard Folly the necromancer Dara the necromancess Paine the matriarch Drozzle the wibbly warlock Zedar the bash general warlock Drizzle the wobbly mage Folly quickly made short work of the bees, while Dara fought with the thief and bashed the butterfly shortly after the thief was disposed of. While Drozzle went after the basilisk, Zedar fought with rats in the cellar. Crazyfool and Thwomp livened things up with some mischief, though Crazyfool would not stay until the end of the bash. There was a lengthy wait for everyone to show up to the pillar party, due to the means of getting there being used elsewhere for a while. But after it was finished, Dara returned to the badly paved road and saw the goat and the ram fighting each other. Since this was a mobile bash, Dara decided to fight both of them. And since mobiles are pretty bad at putting their own differences aside to face a common enemy, they kept fighting each other as well. The ram was soon finished off, and then it was time to try looking for some other mobiles. Dara found herself in the goblin lairs, taking out a few of the goblins, and goblin11 and goblin12, and then Folly showed up to take out a few more. In the distance, the sound of flooding in the mine could be heard. A report about skeleton2 putting up quite a fight led to Zedar, Drozzle, and Dara all fighting against it at the mausoleum. After some triple-teaming, skeleton2 just fell apart. Soon, there were shouted reports of goblins being sighted in the luscious wood. And Dara would encounter goblins at the bank of the river. In fact, here's the scene from Dara's perspective: n Bank of river. A young, evil-looking goblin (goblin45) stares at you, pitifully.

This is the west bank of a river, which flows north to south very quickly. The opposite bank is forested, but here the ground is clear. To the northwest rise the steep slopes of a tall mountain, its peak towering high above the clouds. A young, evil-looking goblin (goblin45) stares at you, pitifully. You hit the goblin45 (10-14). You have killed the goblin45. (Persona saved on +24 = 28,090). The goblin45 has just passed on. Dara caught up with the fox at the stream near luscious wood, while meanwhile Folly and Zedar fought with skeleton1 at the ingresso, and were joined by Dara to finish skeleton1 off. You hear a grinding noise, as Folly the necromancer hits the skeleton1 with his two-handed sword. You hear a stumble, as the skeleton1 misses Folly the necromancer. You hear a swishing sound, as Zedar the bash general warlock misses the skeleton1 with his sceptre. You hear a stumble, as the skeleton1 misses Zedar the bash general warlock. You hear a swishing sound, as Folly the necromancer misses the skeleton1 with his two-handed sword. You hear a stinging blow, as the skeleton1 hits Folly the necromancer. You hear a parried blow, as Zedar the bash general warlock misses the skeleton1 with his sceptre. You hear a crack, as the skeleton1 hits Zedar the bash general warlock. Zedar the bash general warlock says "ill start on sealife". You miss the skeleton1. The skeleton1 hits you (77/120). You hear a dull thud, as Folly the necromancer hits the skeleton1 with his two-handed sword. You have killed the skeleton1. (Persona saved on +75 = 28,232). The skeleton1 falls apart. Zedar the bash general warlock says "shout if need help with Keep". Dara rested while Zedar did sealife and Drozzle did keep. Soon, a loud noise was heard throughout The Land. A male voice in the distance shouts "for now i'll dent sealife". A male voice in the distance shouts "just doing gs then onto dws". In the distance, you hear the terrible RHOAAAUUUAURRRRGGGGGGHGHHHGHHHH of a dragon dying. wh folly 1 in the place known as "ford in river". wh A male voice in the distance shouts "i think some g's were in mainland". wh zedar 1 in the place known as "sea". wh A male voice in the distance cheers "drag goes down". wh drozzle 1 in the place known as "passage". who Thwomp the wayward wizard Crazyfool the stand-up wizard Folly the necromancer Dara the necromancess Paine the matriarch Drozzle the wibbly warlock Zedar the dragon-slaying, bash general warlock Drizzle the wobbly mage And then Spamton showed up around this point. A male voice in the distance shouts "lair gobs dead". A male voice in the distance shouts "HEY EVERY !". Dara headed to the deerpark to hunt the stag. Dara the necromancess shouts "It's staggering to realize how many people forget about the deerpark. :)" Spamton, meanwhile got busy. Spamton happened to find himself (and Folly) cornered by a couple of goblins in a forest. Folly had the THS but Spamton just had a stick he found when he spawned in. It went alright. Crazyfool the stand-up wizard shouts "good luck all. cya all soon". who Thwomp the wayward wizard Spamton the guardian Folly the necromancer Dara the necromancess Paine the matriarch Drozzle the wibbly warlock Drizzle the wobbly mage A male voice in the distance shouts "COME BACK SOON AND [[BuyMore]]!". A male voice in the distance shouts "thank you,CF :) see you soon". reset Time-stamp: 20:29:24 on 29-AUG-2024. This is reset 116993, using slot 0. An auto-reset will be initiated in approximately 75 minutes. sv 101 alive, 194 dead. For your information: there are 100 mobiles still alive. (Persona saved on +150 = 28,560). Spamton went to obtain a healthy glow, and found a cricket bat in the attic. Spamton has never played cricket before. Maybe there's a first time for everything? Unfortunately, Ape11 stole the bat before Spamton could attempt playing cricket (via process of elimination) with it. but Spamton stole it back. Spamton's unpaid intern asks "Is this how cricket works? Asking for a friend." Spamton tried to chase down the ape for some more cricket lessons, but the ape evaded him. So he decided to try learning the rules of cricket from some fireflies, who weren't in the mood for much cricket either. While Spamton was sorting all that out, Dara, having rested up, went to find the swan in the man-made lake, and finished it off. Dara would then go looking for the boar, and was surprised to find three goblins along with the boar in the aviary. In fact, here's an excerpt from Dara's point of view to see what she saw there. You are in a dilapidated building at the eastern edge of a grand lawn. This place seems to have been designed as an aviary, and you can imagine how it would have looked when it was stocked with rare and exotic species. Now it is somewhat desolate, its open construction helping the elements do their work. To the southeast is a maze, formed by ancient yew hedges, and east lies an orangery. It is raining. Sniffing the ground intently is a large, wild boar. An evil-looking goblin (goblin32) stares at you, madly. An evil-looking goblin (goblin43) stares at you, madly. An evil-looking, female goblin (goblin44) stares at you, madly. You attack the goblin44, using the staff0 as a weapon. You attack the goblin43, using the staff0 as a weapon. You attack the goblin32, using the staff0 as a weapon. You hit the goblin32 (5-9). The goblin32 looks superficially injured. The goblin32 hits you (74/120). You hit the goblin43 (10-14). You have killed the goblin43. (Persona saved on +24 = 28,672). The goblin43 has just passed on. The goblin44 has fled by trying to go southeast. You can fight her no longer. (Persona saved on +10 = 28,682). You miss the goblin32. The goblin32 misses you. For your information: there are 75 mobiles still alive. A male voice in the distance cheers. You miss the goblin32. The goblin32 misses you. Aww, the goblin32 misses Dara? She didn't know goblin32 cared. :) Seriously, however, Dara would finish the fight with g44 and 32, but had to hold off finishing the boar until she rested up a little. Meanwhile, Spamton (according to the notes by Spamton's unpaid intern), continued facing mobiles with the cricket bat. Spamton decided to ask the banshee for some cricket lessons, according to Spamton's unpaid intern. Meanwhile, Zedar and another person would be fighting ape11 at fast-flowing river. Dara would return to the aviary and finish off the boar. Spamton managed to survive his cricket lesson decently intact, and Thwomp was just vibing in mid-air near the rapids, as one does. Zedar offered to accompany Dara to help finish off pagoda mobiles, and they managed to finish off ape0 before taking a rest for a bit. As Dara was resting up, there was a 'sleep for points' shout, which Spamton also heard . After that, Spamton decided to trade his cricket bat for a sceptre, before venturing out to take more hot deals to valued customers. All whilst Drizzle hid a fish (allegedly). [b]Pagoda and dwarfs[/b] Drozzle would fight with the dwarfs, eventually reaching the king's study. Along the way, he would reach 63 kills, according to Thwomp. Thwomp the wayward wizard shouts "Drozzle on 63 kills. What a machine!". Meanwhile, there was reports that there was a mole. (A mole of the underground digging variety, of course). Dara and Zedar would dispose of a few more of the apes in the ape forest area, and Folly would dispose of the tiger in the courtyard, after clearing out the giant snake and the upper floor pagoda mobiles as well. Dara and Zedar would then make short work of the snowy mountainside area mobiles. Spamton's sceptre broke whilst fighting a water-snake. Spamton retreated to grab his stashed falchion. Drozzle, meanwhile, summoned skeleton0 to hut and fought with it. Around this point, redwoods opened up. Dara WH'ed the spider and found it was still around. [b]The Redwoods[/b] The 'redwoods' area (the overgrown forest area) isn't often seen in bashes, but fortunately many of the players were familiar with the area. Zedar and Dara decided to take a quick nap before tackling the mobiles in that area (for that area has its share of tough mobiles). Zedar heard a call for help from Spamton, and Dara fought with a menacing vine on her own before having to flee and rest up. Zedar found himself under the well with Spamton, so Spamton and Zedar stumbled around looking for the last water-snake (but Spamton found the longsword in the process). Soon, the remaining water-snakes were eliminated. Meanwhile, the players got the following notification: For your information: the canary is worth 214 points if killed. Dara the necromancess shouts "Had to flee from vine in redwoods. Resting up.". A male voice in the distance shouts "who been hugging the canary". Dara the necromancess shouts "Spider still alive, by the way". Dara and Zedar, joined by Folly, finished off the vine. Spamton, meanwhile, fought with the spider, only to be overcome by the spider's venom and forced to re-enter. Spamton would, however, reclaim the longsword and, with the help of Drozzle, deal the spider a final blow. Dara and Folly, after resting up, would venture to the forest canopy to fight the rocs. The roc concert was a rough one, but soon, Dara and Folly brought down the female roc, and a short time later, the male roc, too, would pass into legend. Dara and Folly would go down to the other part of the overgrown forest area. Once the raccoon had been disposed of, there were now 15 mobiles left. Then Dara and Folly fought with the black bear. The black bear would soon flee to the west, and Dara pursued the black bear to the west, and then the south. Let's see what happened from Dara's point of view first: Overgrown forest. A powerfully muscled black bear gazes at you ferociously here. You attack the black bear, using the staff0 as a weapon. You hit the black bear (15-19). You have killed the black bear. (Persona saved on +259 = 29,381). The black bear has just passed on. n Overgrown forest. An ancient herb plant somehow clings to life here. sh Black bear bashed. You shout "Black bear bashed.". A male voice in the distance shouts "it fled west, i went east!". As it turns out, Folly's embarrassing situation was even worse, as he ran into another nasty mobile to the east. From Folly's viewpoint: Dara the necromancess makes some magical gestures. The black bear misses you. You hit the black bear (20-29). The black bear looks critically injured. The black bear has fled by going west. You can fight it no longer. (+15 = 50,678). Swaying considerably, the black bear lumbers away. "it's bind" Folly the necromancer says "it's bind". Dara the necromancess has just left. e.k bear f ths Overgrown forest. A large swarm of soldier ants is attempting to forcibly add you to the natural order. I don't know to what "bear" you're referring. The swarm of ants is coming at you menacingly... A male voice in the distance cheers. The swarm of ants misses you. You miss the swarm of ants. k bear You momentarily drop your guard. w You can't just leave in the middle of a fight! You have to flee! The swarm of ants hits you (113/120). You miss the swarm of ants. The swarm of ants hits you (112/120). use ths You are now using the two-handed sword to fight! As you can see, Folly had run into a fight with another nasty mobile: the swarm of ants. As the ants attacked him, he wanted to know just where the black bear had disappeared to. Again, from Folly's viewpoint: wh blackbear Your spell doesn't find any. The swarm of ants misses you. You hit the swarm of ants (15-19). The swarm of ants looks fit. A female voice in the distance shouts "Black bear bashed." And there we have the conclusion of the black bear fight from both Dara and Folly's viewpoints. As for the swarm of ants, Dara soon rejoined Folly and helped Folly finish off those pests. The rest of the bashers soon disposed of the piglet and the mole. Spamton, meanwhile, went to the fossil room where the ammonite had been discovered, and disposed of it. It was then that Dara, Folly, and Drozzle would team up together to take on the remaining redwoods area mobile, the smilodon. They searched for it around the barren plain, and finally found it at the southwest plinth of the ruined statue. The smilodon is one of the tougher mobiles in the area, and it put up a good fight even against three players. Here's an excerpt from the end of the fight: You hear a shudder, as Drozzle the wibbly warlock misses the smilodon with his Valetant. You hear a stumble, as the smilodon misses Drozzle the wibbly warlock. ql foe Drozzle the wibbly warlock says "golem". ql foe The smilodon looks seriously injured. You hear a crack, as Folly the necromancer hits the smilodon with his two-handed sword. You hear sinews tearing, as the smilodon hits Folly the necromancer. Folly the necromancer makes some magical gestures. You hit the smilodon (1-4). The smilodon looks critically injured. The smilodon misses you. You hear a slicing sound, as Drozzle the wibbly warlock hits the smilodon with his Valetant. You hear a shudder, as the smilodon misses Drozzle the wibbly warlock. You hear a slicing sound, as Folly the necromancer hits the smilodon with his two-handed sword. You hear a stumble, as the smilodon misses Folly the necromancer. You hear a stinging blow, as Drozzle the wibbly warlock hits the smilodon with his Valetant. You have killed the smilodon. (Persona saved on +111 = 29,581). The smilodon becomes extinct. A large, yellow fang, nearly the length of your forearm and sharply pointed, lies here. Folly the necromancer has picked up the sampan. Folly the necromancer has just left. Drozzle the wibbly warlock says "dara shrine folly hc?". Drozzle the wibbly warlock makes some magical gestures. Drozzle the wibbly warlock has just left. So as you can tell, they decided to do golem next and each of them headed to the places needed to access the golem. Zedar attempted to enter the shrine, but Dara had already occupied the shrine. Anyway, the golem was soon disposed of, and Drozzle announced the icons were in the hut. [b]A rarely seen mobile, and an explosive finish[/b] A male voice in the distance shouts "we're missing one: g21, g27, g28, g47, g48, bison, golem". A male voice in the distance shouts "icons in hut". The missing mobile turned out to be a rarely seen mobile, the axolotl. It was located inside the bowl7, which was located in the alpine cottage. Dara was the one who chose to go and find it. She found it in a bowl alongside Thwomp the wayward wizard. Trying to pick up the bowl didn't work -- apparently, the bowl was non-portable. Attempting to remove the contents from the bowl only resulted in the cardboard box she was carrying falling apart due to its poor water resistance. So Dara had to break the bowl instead, and fight the axolotl. The axolotl proved to be a bit tougher than expected, and Dara had to chase it a bit. But soon, the following happened: Bedroom in alpine cottage. A pale pink axolotl stares at you with its deep black eyes. You attack the axolotl, using the staff0 as a weapon. You hit the axolotl (20-29). You have killed the axolotl. (Persona saved on +356 = 29,999). For your information: there are 5 mobiles still alive. The axolotl has just passed on. sh Bowl was non-portable. Had to break it to reach it. You shout "Bowl was non-portable. Had to break it to reach it.". who Thwomp the wayward wizard Spamton the guardian Folly the warlock Dara the necromancess Paine the matriarch Drozzle the wibbly warlock Zedar the dragonfly-slaying, bash general warlock Drizzle the wobbly mage A male voice in the distance shouts "aww". A male voice in the distance shouts "[[LitBrand]] THROWN IN [[Pantry]]". As it turns out, the five goblins remaining had all somehow gone into the pantry, and it was clear they were not going to come out. This was a situation that, for once, required brains over brawn. Spamton's tossing a lit brand into the pantry strategy was doomed to failure, but it gave Dara an idea. She needed a container, gunpowder, and a lit brand. She tossed the container with the brand to the pantry and waited in the kitchen (along with Zedar and Spamton) for something to happen. Dara the necromancess shouts" Time to bring an end to a mini-mobile convention!" Dara the necromancess shouts "Wait for it!" Time passed. There was no explosion. Dara the necromancess shouts "In the words of Marvin the Martian, where's the kaboom?" It became apparent that Dara was in such a hurry she forgot to throw in the gunpowder. She needed another container, and after a while, she decided to retrieve the dinghy from the treehouse in the redwoods where she'd stashed it, Resited to get back to the cottage quickly, and return to the kitchen. Using the dinghy and another lit brand, she was prepared to do it right this time. Dara the necromancess shouts "Okay, end of goblin party in pantry, take two!". And soon, THIS happened: Spamton the guardian waits. Folly the warlock sings something. Close by, you hear an incredibly loud >BOOM<. 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 = 32,999). A male voice in the distance cheers. Folly the warlock cheers. Folly the warlock laughs. A male voice in the distance howls. Spamton the legend cheers. Thwomp the wayward wizard cheers. Folly the warlock has just left. A female voice in the distance cheers. A male voice in the distance shouts "woohoo". sh An exp Thwomp the wayward wizard shouts "Out with BANG!". sh An exp Folly the warlock has just arrived. sh An explosive e Folly the warlock has just left. sh An explosive end to the bash! You shout "An explosive end to the bash!". A male voice in the distance cheers. Thwomp the wayward wizard shouts "Great job peeps!". A male voice in the distance shouts "excellent". A male voice in the distance yodels "ASPIDISTRA!!!". A male voice in the distance shouts "dont forget your icons, spotted them in the hut". After some more cheering and comments, Dara noted "This is a first. Never had the final showdown of a mobile bash take place in the cottage kitchen. :)". And so this, with 19 minutes remaining, the bash came to one of the most unusual bash finishes I've seen in a LONG time. In fact, I'd say it's THE most unusual bash finish I've seen, bar none. Soon after, everyone returned to the tearoom for a fun-filled post-bash chat that lasted past the remaining 19 minutes and well into the set that followed. Players: Dara the necromancess Folly the warlock Cenedra the lovely mage Spamton the legend Zedar the warlock Drizzle the wobbly mage All in all, a very fun bash with lots of surprises and twists and turns. Between the goblins, the redwoods, the rarely seen axolotl, and the incredibly loud >BOOM< that concluded the bash, this was one of the more unusual bashes we've seen, and certainly a memorable one. Everyone seemed to have a lot of fun with it and with the post-bash chat that followed. And so concludes the bash of August 29th, 2024, which shows us that even longtime players of MUD2 can still be surprised by things that happen in the game. Special thanks to Thwomp and Crazyfool for being the wizzes in official attendance, to Spamton's unpaid intern for further notes and insights, to Dara and Folly for providing multiple viewpoints for the black bear fight, and to everyone else who helped make this an amazing mobile bash.
