The bash for September 19th, 2024 was a special pirate-themed bash, with pirate hats, cutlasses, and parrots added to The Land. (Heiach wanted to add some extra cannons, but couldn't quite get them to work properly. Maybe some other time). In any case, the bash began with a number of bash regulars, plus a new player, Karjala. At the beginning, the WHO list looked something like this. *who Crazyfool the stand-up wizard Heiach the chimerical wizard Galandra the warlock Karjala Spamton the legend Lowfields the necromancer Zordell the delirious sorceress Zedar the pirate-captain warlock Drizzle the wobbly mage Instead of 'bash general', there was a quick vote for 'pirate captain', which Zedar won. A pile of cutlasses could be found in the tearoom. Galandra has cutlass27 for most of the set, and Spamton claimed cutlass29. Karjala joined the bash, being a new player coming here under recommendation from Spamton's unpaid intern and/or Winnie's accomplice (who's Winnie? We'll get to that a bit later). Anyway, Galandra chased the fox and Folly took care of the bees. Spamton was ambushed by the ram, and killed the mouse on the way to obtain a glow. Zedar joined the fray after picking up some pirate gear in the tearoom. Galandra hunted down the stag. Karjala, meanwhile, had an encounter with a zombie, and fought with it unarmed (I think). She managed to survive that encounter, but needed directions to the inn, which Zedar and Galandra were happy to give her. Once Karjala was at the inn, Spamton would greet her and provide her with light for seeing, killing one of the extra parrots on the way. Heiach handed Zedar a flamboyant hat, the sort often associated with pirates. Fancy hats do help to keep the sun out of sailors' eyes, certainly, but I am not sure of its usefulness in a mobile bash. Heiach is free to enlighten me on this if he so chooses, however. Anyway, while Lowfields and Zedar were helping to pave the way for the pillar party and Spamton was showing Karjala a way to obtain light, Galandra went to the low forest/snowy mountainside area and disposed of the pony and the snowbird. However, much to Galandra's surprise, that wasn't the last she would see of the snowbird this set. There would be a twist a bit later on, but I'm getting ahead of myself. Spamton would go on to kill the goat and ventured out into The Land followed by Karjala. Galandra, meanwhile, fought with ape0 and brought it down, causing chaos for the rest of the apes. Meanwhile, Lowfields did his variation of the Pied Piper and got rid of the rats, and also finished off the basilisk when Zedar joined in. Zedar and Lowfields called for everyone to attend the pillar party. Most of the participants made it, but Karjala wasn't able to get there in time. Afterwards, the bashers went their separate ways, looking for more mobiles. [b]Surprise return mobiles, and pagoda area[/b] Galandra was surprised when she found the snowbird alongside zombie2 at the badly-paved road. She didn't know what was going on here, but she decided to attack both of the mobiles, killing zombie2 at the road and chasing the fleeing snowbird into the valley between mountains and the foothills before finishing it off. *You attack the snowbird, using the cutlass27 as a weapon. *You hit the snowbird (20-29). You have killed the snowbird. (Persona saved on +45 = 52,129). The snowbird has just passed on. *obit No-one above novice level has died in a fight this reset. *obit me You have killed the following since entering The Land: the snowbird, the zombie2, the ape0, the pony, the snowbird, the scorpion, the stag and the fox. Total: 8. Galandra did not know this, but earlier Zedar had drunk the 'summon creatures' vial and summoned the snowbird and some bees. The snowbird had escaped from Zedar, before being finished off again by Galandra. Zedar, meanwhile, was able to acquire a mandrake and eat it, and then headed to the graveyard to fight skeleton1. While Zedar fought with skeleton, Galandra was surprised when ape11 stole cutlass27 from her. Galandra fought with ape11, as Zedar bested the skeleton. The fight was draining on both, and Galandra offered to withdraw. Ape11, too, withdrew when close to death. Galandra re-attacked, brought down ape11, and reclaimed cutlass27 before going off to get some rest. Karjala, meanwhile, made a wrong turn in the tunnels underneath the hut and had to re-enter The Land. Zedar, meanwhile, spotted Lowfields in the evil wood. Lowfields was busy seeking out its evil residents. Spamton, meanwhile, found another mouse and got rid of it, before answering Zedar's call for assistance with the thief. Karjala decided to fight the banshee, and Spamton decided to help. Karjala, however, ended up fleeing and leaving her cutlass behind, and Spamton had to finish off the banshee by himself. Lowfields announced that he had rid the evil wood of the evil duo that dominated it, the vampire and the wraith. Zedar felt sorry for not assisting, but he had been busy seeing to the dragon. And sure enough, there was soon the payoff, as everyone in The Land heard the terrible RHOAAAUUUAURRRRGGGGGGHGHHHGHHHH of a dragon dying. Zedar the dragon-slaying, pirate-captain warlock shouts "The dragon is dead". Galandra, meanwhile, disposed of ape6. Afterwards, Zedar decided to head over to the keep. Zedar's ruminations: "Zedar reflected that this rotation was a rather rewarding one, back in the day. Though nowadays we donated most of our treasure to any of our fallen." Spamton decided it was that time of the evening for him to get rid of some snake. Zedar picked up a wafer from the hunchback (which he had dispatched), and began his keep adventures. In the meantime, Karjala nearly got killed by a parrot, which was one of the extra parrots around in this special bash. Karjala obtained the broadsword. Zedar had left the broadsword in the hut, favouring his cutlass. Interesting move, given the broadsword is superior - perhaps Zed was getting into this pirate theme? There was the distant howl of the wolf as Zedar introduced the wolf to wolfsbane. Galandra, meanwhile, went looking for leftover apes in the pagoda area, and came across this. Grassy area. Neglected here is a seaworthy sampan, large enough for only one person. The sampan contains a nightcap, a firestone2, a ring4, 2 shoes and a porcelain bowl0. Close by is an uprooted clump of thyme. You notice a sprig of tarragon nearby. A recently-picked sprig of basil has been left here. There is a frond of dill here. Nearby, a sprig of rosemary has been cast aside. An enraged ape (ape5) snarls at you, wildly. The ape5 is carrying a rice flail. Dropped nearby is a crocus. There is an uprooted bonsai lying here. Over to one side is some unlit incense. An exquisite lotus blossom has been dropped here. There is a single chrysanthemum lying here. An enraged ape (ape10) snarls at you, wildly. The ape10 is carrying a garden fork. Lowfields the necromancess is here wearing a cape, and carrying a piece of paper, a scarab, a dagger0 and a cardboard box0. The ape5 is fighting Lowfields the necromancess. The ape10 is fighting Lowfields the necromancess. *You hear a shudder, as the ape5 misses Lowfields the necromancess with his rice flail. You hear a parried blow, as Lowfields the necromancess misses the ape5 with her dagger0. Galandra joined in the fight, and soon ape5 went down. Ape10 fled, but Galandra soon caught up and finished it off. (Cue whatever sad video game music you can think of for the next portion of this bash writeup) [b]A shocking turn of events[/b] It was then that there was a shocking turn of events that NO ONE saw coming. One of our own, a basher who's been a part of these events for several months now, fell in battle. *reset Time-stamp: 20:48:02 on 19-SEP-2024. This is reset 117286, using slot 0. An auto-reset will be initiated in approximately 65 minutes. *sv 96 alive, 203 dead. *Lowfields the necromancess has just arrived. *Lowfields the necromancess has just left. *Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "OH NO!". *Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "we have a death!!". *obit The following players have died in fights this reset: Spamton the dragonfly-slaying legend, killed by the water-snake. *who A female voice in the distance shouts "no!!". *who Heiach the chimerical wizard Karjala the yeowoman Galandra the warlock Lowfields the necromancess Zordell the delirious sorceress Zedar the dragon-slaying, pirate-captain warlock Drizzle the wobbly mage *For your information: the water-snake1 is worth 2,523 points if killed. *A female voice in the distance shouts "who's been so unfortunate?". *Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "type OBIT". *sh Oh no! You shout "Oh no!". *sh Who A female voice in the distance shouts "NOOOOOOOO". *sh Who's going to tell us to Come Back and A female voice in the distance shouts "NOT SPAMTON". *sh Who's going to tell us to Come Back and [[Buy More]]?" You shout "Who's going to tell us to Come Back and [[Buy More]]?"". *Zedar the dragon-slaying, pirate-captain warlock shouts "that watersnake has 130 stam right now, beware". *A female voice in the distance shouts "I can't believe my role model died to the water-snake". *A female voice in the distance shouts "I'm avoiding that thing forever". Spamton had certainly been a fixture during the bashes, contributing a great deal of comic relief in addition to the bashing action, so his dying in a bash came as a shock to all of us. We learned later that Spamton had just finished off a water-snake, only to be attacked by another one at very low stamina. A sudden and surprising occurence. Zedar noted Spamton's demise, sent his condolences. He made a note that the watersnake was worth thousands now, if killed, and he hoped Spamton would later retrieve treasure left under the hut at the end of the reset. Sadly, Spamton did not reincarnate instantly (though it has not been entirely ruled out), but the bash was soon joined by Winnie the protector. *who Heiach the chimerical wizard Winnie the protector Karjala the yeowoman Galandra the warlock Lowfields the necromancess Zordell the delirious sorceress Zedar the pirate-captain warlock Drizzle the wobbly mage Soon, however, we realized we had to carry on with the bash. Winnie stumbled around The Land trying to get her bearings, and was very nearly killed by the zombie8. Zedar continued with the keep, taking down the griffin, though it cost Zedar a wafer. Lowfields, meanwhile, would go to finish the water-snakes, including watersnake1. From Lowfield's point of view: You hit the water-snake1 (5-9). The water-snake1 looks close to death. The water-snake1 misses you. The water-snake1 has fled by trying to go northeast. You can fight it no longer. *k ws f wp You attack the water-snake1, using the dagger0 as a weapon. You hit the water-snake1 (15-19). You have killed the water-snake1. (+2,523 = 35,370) The water-snake1 has just passed on. Lowfields would say that this water-snake1 wasn't the only beefed-up one he faced. Lowfields the necromancer tells you "yeah, although another one was worth 200 plus, used 2 wafers". Winnie scored her first kill, the dove. [b]Concluding the Pagoda matter[/b] *sv 88 alive, 211 dead. *reset Time-stamp: 20:58:40 on 19-SEP-2024. This is reset 117286, using slot 0. An auto-reset will be initiated in approximately 54 minutes. *wh zedar 1 in the place known as "fourth floor of keep". *wh lowfields 1 in the place known as "master's room". *wh winnie 1 in the place known as "dense forest". *wh karjala 1 in the place known as "narrow road". *sh I almost did a WH SPAMTON. Force of habit ... :( You shout "I almost did a WH SPAMTON. Force of habit ... :(". With Zedar wrapping up the keep, and Lowfields in the upper floor of the pagoda, Galandra went to fight the tiger. During this time, Zedar made another annoucement. Zedar the pirate-captain warlock shouts "the Valetant, a mighty weapon, is available at the Hut. Treasure under the hut is accumulating, for our fallen.". Zedar had made short work of the maiden, and two crows appeared, which considering last time was a welcome number. Galandra finished off the tiger, and moved on to the carp. You shout "Carpe carp! (Seize the carp!) :)". *k carp with wp You attack the carp, using the cutlass27 as a weapon. *sv 84 alive, 217 dead. *who Heiach the chimerical wizard Winnie the protector Karjala the yeowoman and bringer of destruction Galandra the warlock Lowfields the necromancer Zordell the delirious sorceress Zedar the pirate-captain warlock Drizzle the wobbly mage *You hit the carp (15-19). You have killed the carp. (Persona saved on +26 = 53,205). The carp has just passed on. [b]Strong fireflies and prefixes[/b] Zedar would go on to flood the dwarf pasture. Galandra would fight skeleton2 in the mausoleum, and was joined by Lowfields and Zedar. Galandra said during the fight "This will be over with quickly", and she was pretty much right. Winnie showed up just in time to see skeleton2's being finished off. Around this time, a vote was taken for 'first mate'. Lowfields won the vote, and got the 'first-mate' prefix for the remainder of the set. Zedar then took down a dozen dwarves, but felt he would mix things up and have a look out to sea, to see what he could sea. What Zedar saw was nothing. The sealife had already been conquered. So Zedar went back to fighting dwarfs, cutlass in hand. Galandra, meanwhile, fought against a beefed-up firefly4. *w.k ff Misty part of south mountain. Flying by is a firefly (firefly4). *You attack the firefly4. *You miss the firefly4. The firefly4 hits you (72/120). *You hit the firefly4 (15-19). The firefly4 looks seriously injured. The firefly4 hits you (71/120). *ret with wp You are now using the cutlass27 to fight! *l Misty part of south mountain. The thick, heavy mist that hangs dankly in the air here reduces your vision a few, scant feet. Flying by is a firefly (firefly4). *You miss the firefly4. The firefly4 hits you (70/120). *i You are carrying the following: the cutlass27. Weight carried: 2kg 250g/100kg. Objects carried: 1/12. You are keeping any objects in your possession of the following type: cutlass27. *You miss the firefly4. The firefly4 misses you. *You hit the firefly4 (10-14). You have killed the firefly4. (Persona saved on +101 = 53,581). The firefly4 has just passed on. Indeed. Fireflies usually go down with one hit, and usually aren't worth 101 points. Galandra was congratulated by Heiach for slaying the beefy firefly. *A female voice in the distance shouts "Imma have to go its kinda late". You have just been woken up! Your stamina is 103. *who Heiach the chimerical wizard Winnie the warrior Karjala the yeowoman and bringer of destruction Galandra the chonky-firefly-slaying warlock Lowfields the big-watersnake-slaying, first-mate necromancer Zordell the delirious sorceress Zedar the pirate-captain warlock Drizzle the wobbly mage *Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "awww ok". *A female voice in the distance shouts "cya'll tomorrow hopefully". *s Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "byeee". *sh Co A female voice in the distance shouts "see ya!". *sh Come again, Karjala. You shout "Come again, Karjala.". Karjala had to leave, and we wished her well. We continued the bash, Winnie going to take on the ghoul. Galandra rushed to help Winnie, and Lowfields arrived at the end of the fight. Seeing as Winnie was now the only prefixless persona, Heiach ran a poll to grant her a prefix. Thus, by the power of democracy, this title was bestowed unto her. *who Heiach the chimerical wizard Winnie the Unready, alive pooh replacement winning warrior Galandra the chonky-firefly-slaying warlock Lowfields the big-watersnake-slaying, first-mate necromancer Zordell the delirious sorceress Zedar the pirate-captain warlock Drizzle the wobbly mage *reset Time-stamp: 21:19:07 on 19-SEP-2024. This is reset 117286, using slot 0. An auto-reset will be initiated in approximately 34 minutes. *sv 53 alive, 248 dead. [b]Silly reference joke mobiles[/b] Galandra did a quick WH to see if any of the parrots were left, and found one in the nanny's room. She soon confronted the parrot4 and the snugglepuss there. Afterwards, she decided to WH PIGLET (as the piglet is sometimes overlooked in bashes), and noted it was located in 'Grassy area'. "That's strange," Galandra thought to herself. "What's the piglet doing there?" When she arrived at the grassy area, she had her answer. *sw Grassy area. It is raining. In the middle of the grass stands a tall, round pole. A fat little piglet stares at you in fear. A very energetic tigger bounces around before you! A depressed-looking donkey meanders around slowly here. Winnie the unready, alive pooh replacement, winning swordswoman is here carrying a trug, 2 wafers and a cutlass25. *groan OK, Galandra the chonky-firefly-slaying warlock groans. *Winnie the unready, alive pooh replacement, winning swordswoman says "may A. A. Milne forgive me for what I have to do...". *You hear sounds of combat, as Winnie the unready, alive pooh replacement, winning swordswoman attacks the piglet. *You hear sinews tearing, as Winnie the unready, alive pooh replacement, winning swordswoman hits the piglet with her cutlass25. You hear a swishing sound, as the piglet misses Winnie the unready, alive pooh replacement, winning swordswoman. Yes, the mischief of the wizzes had brought together these mobiles inspired by Winnie's choice of name, for presumably this set only. The piglet's a regular, and the donkey isn't too out of place, but the tigger was a giveaway that this was a silly wiz-created joke. Though it was a joke, the tigger proved to be almost as tough as the tiger. The piglet went down easy, but Winnie had to flee and Galandra had to finish off the striped creature. While Galandra was resting up from that fight, Lowfields and Winnie finished off the donkey. [b]Dwarf realm and the final mobiles[/b] Zedar, meanwhile, had trouble with the hefty dwarf guards, and had to flee from them. *Zedar the pirate-captain warlock shouts "beware Hefty Dwarves armed with a few extra points and a cutlass (I'd fled!)". *s Zedar the pirate-captain warlock shouts "Do not come to the Heftys, im going to blow them up". *wh snugglepuss Your spell doesn't find any. *wh parrot4 Your spell doesn't find any. *The hefty dwarf guard shouts "WHAT??". Zedar's first attempt failed, but eventually there was a BOOM. Galandra would fight the burly dwarf guards, and Lowfields would join in. Galandra would later join in with Lowfields in taking down the surly dwarf guards. Meanwhile, Winnie opted to head over to the ogre's lair, taking a moment to sleep first, before attempting to take down that mighty foe. This was around the time there were 10 mobiles left and 13 minutes left to go. Winnie believed the encounter with the ogre would probably end badly but Zedar arrived and pretty much carried Winnie. Together, they brought the ogre down. Meanwhile, after finishing with the guards, Galandra and Lowfields would take down the dwarf king and queen, deal with the thickset dwarf guards, and pick up a flamboyant pirate hat along the way. Soon, there were only two mobiles left: The canary and the golem. The canary soon succumbed to swamp gas fumes, leaving only the golem. Galandra, Zedar, and Lowfields would get together to meditate, and Lowfields would go in to face the golem. *who Heiach the chimerical wizard Zedar the pirate-captain warlock Winnie the unready, alive pooh replacement, winning swordswoman Galandra the chonky-firefly-slaying warlock Lowfields the big-watersnake-slaying, first-mate necromancer Zordell the delirious sorceress Drizzle the wobbly mage *Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "use the weapon you dumb heap of stone". It sounds like the golem was armed. However, Lowfields would prevail, as we got the following message. *w Cave. Lying to one side is a mighty cutlass! *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 = 58,199). [b]The wrap-up and post-bash chat[/b] Afterward, it was time for some more treasure to be left in the hut. Winnie claimed most of those, and rose to the rank of superheroine. Galandra parted company with cutlass27, which had been her weapon the entire bash, and joined everyone else in the tearoom for the post-bash chat. *Heiach the chimerical wizard says "not a bad idea having a stash of weapons in the tearoom eh?". *Zordell the delirious sorceress waves. *Winnie the superheroine says "welp, time for me to get on with archiving Spamton's very anticlimactic demise". *Heiach the chimerical wizard has given Zordell the delirious sorceress a great big hug! Heiach the chimerical wizard has given Zedar the warlock a great big hug! Heiach the chimerical wizard gives you a great big hug! (Persona saved on +8 = 58,236). Heiach the chimerical wizard has given Lowfields the necromancer a great big hug! *You now feel up to attacking other players, should you so desire. *Heiach the chimerical wizard says "oh no :(". *Lowfields the necromancer says "afk a few". *Heiach the chimerical wizard says "they were a legend". *Heiach the chimerical wizard says "literally". *Winnie the superheroine exclaims "true!". *Zordell the delirious sorceress says "sorry about spamton :(". *Zedar the warlock says "Yes, sorry Spamton :(". Galandra the warlock says "I miss Spamton.". Zordell the delirious sorceress says "same". *sip tea You watch the world go by. *Auto-reset initiated, you have 120 seconds to finish up. No further warnings will be issued! *Drizzle the wobbly mage screams. Winnie the superheroine says "Spamton may return in the future.". Zordell the delirious sorceress smiles. Heiach the chimerical wizard cheers. Heiach the chimerical wizard says "that would be amazing". Galandra the warlock says "Anyway, this was quite an eventful bash.". Winnie the superheroine nods. Heiach the chimerical wizard says "thank you everyone for coming along!". *"Lots of twists. Galandra the warlock says "Lots of twists.". *Winnie the superheroine exclaims "agreed!". *who Heiach the chimerical wizard Lowfields the necromancer Winnie the superheroine Galandra the warlock Zedar the warlock Zordell the delirious sorceress Drizzle the wobbly mage *Heiach the chimerical wizard says "maybe next time I'll get the cannons working". *Winnie the superheroine laughs. Indeed, this was a most eventful bash. While Heiach might not have included all of the pirate stuff he wanted, we still made good use of what WAS included. And there were plenty of other unexpected twists along the way, too. In any case, we had a pretty good time. And so concludes the writeup for the piratical-themed mobile bash of September 19, 2024.
