Monmonnn made a beeline to the grandfather clock, but it was unexpectedly locked. Dara fought with the fox at the foxhill (both in too much of a hurry to do a foxtrot). Dara didn't find that fight too difficult, but the stag at the deerpark was another story. It took a while for the stag to go down. Dara wasn't the only one who had a rough fight at this point. Zarquadon noticed the thief on her way down from the attic (the thief had clearly ransacked the place), and decided that it would be a good idea to strike. The fight didn't go well, and Zarquadon fled at 5 stamina. During the two above mentioned fights, Monmonnn was elected bash general. Monmonnn reminded us that the jellyfish (an especially elusive mobile living in the sea) exists. While Dara rested up from her hard-fought victory, Zarquadon made her way back into The Land - but then found herself facing off against the goat! But, with some help from a very convenient stick, Zarquadon managed to end it before it got out of hand. Meanwhile, Monmonnn was fighting zombies in the mines. Lacking a light, Zarquadon was in no position to help. She did, however, manage to defuse the viper. And then Dara made an announcement. Dara the sorceress shouts ""For those wanting to visit Basil Isks's Statue Emporium, the proprietor is busy at the moment... oops, out of business for the rest of the set! :)" Anyway, Dara rested up while the others had their fights with zombies, and the wolf went AAAOOOOOOHHHH! Dara finished the piglet, but still hadn't recovered stamina fully, so she was attacked by the banshee at the swamp on the way to the pillar party. Heiach interrupted that fight by temporarily capturing the banshee. After everyone got together for the pillar buff (at this point, there were 164 mobiles left with 90 minutes to go), Dara resumed the fight with the banshee. Afterward, Dara would defeat zombie8, but would have to flee from skeleton1 in the mines near the valve. [b]Part 2: Rats, apes, water-snakes, and incredibly bad timing[/b] Dara had to rest up, but was still able to help Monmonnn when he asked where the refectory was. Dara would spot the raven at the inn entrance, and later go on the ape forest area while Monmonnn cleared the rats from the cellar and asked if anyone wanted to feed the dragon. Dara and Zarquadon were too busy with their own missions to do so, so Monmonnn took on the job himself. Zarquadon, meanwhile, did her usual quest of water-snake removal. Along the way, she found the longsword (with 77 minutes left to use it). Monmonnn fed the dragon, but unfortunately had an accident on the way out so he would not get the points for the dragon task. *A male voice in the distance shouts "Dragon fed, I may have slipped". Dara ended the snowbird's flight, and then went on to send the pony to another farm. Zarquadon finished her quest-within-a-quest (she described it as a miniquest, but I would argue that in the context of a mobile bash, it's part of the main quest) to make the water of the underground lakes and streams snake-free. At this point, there were 72 minutes left in the bash. Dara fought and pursued ape10 through many rooms in the ground floor of the pagoda. Meanwhile, the thief stole the longsword from Zarquadon, who warned everyone else that "thief is very armed and very dangerous!". Monmonnn, meanwhile reported that the bees were gone. Zarquadon grabbed the falchion and started to battle the ram. Monmonn joined in the battle, and the two of them managed to defeat the sheepish foe. Dara, unfortunately, ran into some horrible luck fighting the thief. The fight was a long one, and during it, Dara had eaten one of those special wafers that has a side-effect of causing one to fall asleep after a few minutes of eating it. And unfortunately, she did not have any of the tools that magically keep people awake. Most unfortunately, the aforementioned side effect kicked in just as Dara's stamina was low enough that one good hit could be lethal. This resulted in Dara being unable to flee, and for the following to happen: *obit The following players have died in fights this reset: Dara the dragonfly-slaying sorceress, killed by the thief. Dara would reincarnate as a novice. The damage was done. However, Zarquadon would fight the thief, resulting in good news and bad news. You have killed the thief. You have change experience level from superheroine to championne. Persona saved on +1,180 = 13, 022). The longsword goes down the hole and into the sett. The thief has just passed on. Good news: Zarquadon managed to take the thief down! Bad news: the ls also went down! (literally down. into the badger's sett.) And no one could get back anything that fell into the badger's sett. [b]Part 3: Ogre, undead, and the citadel[/b] *who Heiach the chimerical wizard Dara the warrior Monmonnn the necromancer Zarquadon the championne Drizzle the wobbly mage Dara would swamp loose treasure and swat a few fireflies, and realize to her frustration that Monmonnn was the only magic user left participating in the bash, and therefore the only one who could WHERE mobiles. Monmonnn, meanwhile shouted "I've got garlic, wafers, and a heavy cross... it's time for a vampire.". Zarquadon, meanwhile, decided to go grave-robbing and ghoulbusting, so the undead were getting a lot of focus at this point in the set. Heiach, meanwhile, kindly allowed Dara to find the oracle, which would help with the WH spell. The vampire and the wraith were soon dealt with. Dara would fight some goblins and get a knife to use as a weapon from them, but have to flee from the ogre - twice. Third time, Monmonnn helped to finish the ogre off. Monmonnn then headed for the dwarfs. Dara and Zarquadon would fight dwarfs at the entrance to the citadel, while Monmonnn would fight sk1 at the stony slope. *who Heiach the chimerical wizard Dara the cabalistic warrior Monmonnn the vampire-slaying, bash-general necromancer Zarquadon the specialist championne Drizzle the wobbly mage *sleep ZZZzzz... *Monmonnn the vampire-slaying, bash-general necromancer shouts "I miss the pillar buff". Sadly, having to exit and re-enter cancels buffs like the pillar buff. *Zarquadon the specialist championne shouts "note to self - can't use the spring as a championne!". You have just been woken up! Your stamina is 57. Dara, meanwhile, was resting from fights, but (as this excerpt from her notes indicates) was still up to shouting a few jokes. *sleep ZZZzzz... *sh What about the summer? Or the autumn? You wake up! Your stamina is 60. You shout "What about the summer? Or the autumn?". *sleep ZZZzzz... *Monmonnn the vampire-slaying, bash-general necromancer shouts "This skeleton is tough, it has a pick". You have just been woken up! Your stamina is 60. *sleep ZZZzzz... *Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "maybe it has a bone to pick with you?". You have just been woken up! Your stamina is 65. *Monmonnn the vampire-slaying, bash-general necromancer shouts "Possibly...". [b]Part 4: Dwarfs, Keep, and Pagoda[/b] Dara would fight a few more dwarfs, and at one point, Heaich made an offer. *Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "if there was 1 thing I could do, what would it be (if you wanted it), like return wafers, bring weapons etc..". Dara the cabalistic swordswoman shouts "Return wafers?". Monmonnn the vampire-slaying, bash-general necromancer shouts "Wafers!" Wafers were found in box1 in front of the hut. Dara dropped a few in places to distribute them, but it's doubtful that strategy would do much good. In any case, Monmonnn and Dara fought the hefty dwarf guards, and Monmonnn and Zarquadon would take down the burly dwarf guards. Dara and Monmonnn would fight with the king dwarf. Dara was blinded during the fight with the king dwarf, and had to flee. Monmonnn would finish the fight. Meanwhile, Zarquadon would rush into the surly dwarf guards' guard room and successfully steal the shortsword from surly dwarf11 guard. The surly was not pleased about Zarquadon stealing the shortsword, and Zarquadon was not happy about one of the surlies stealing her wafer. *Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "I hate to carp on or be boaring but man, stop MONKeying around". With 33 mobiles alive, and 24 minutes to go, Dara and Monmonnn rushed in to finish off the dwarf guards in the treasure chamber. Afterward, Heiach reminded everyone that the ghoul already perished. Monmonnn fought ape6 in the swamp, and ape6 refused to give up its wafer. Dara would go on to fight the monk, and Zarquadon would report that skeleton2 was down. Dara would make her way through the pagoda, finding the carp and shouting out "Carpe carp! (Seize the carp, for those who don't speak Latin)." Monmonnn would report that the swan, the jellyfish, the sharks, the dove, and the snugglepuss were still around. Zarquadon and Monmonnn would take on the keep while Dara fought the giant snake, but ran into some horrible luck there. The following players have died in fights this reset: Dara the magical swordswoman, killed by the giant snake, Dara the dragonfly-slaying sorceress, killed by the thief. At this point, Galandra appeared, announcing that Dara had to bow out due to bad luck. Galandra was taking her place to salvage this set. Zarquadon, meanwhile, had been poisoned, but managed to find some actual antidote in the mines. Monmonnn fought the griffin and said "The griffin is a tough one!", while Galandra took down ape11. Monmonnn would conclude business at the keep while Galandra ended the giant snake's hissy fit. Galandra, unfortunately, had to flee from the tiger. After Zarquadon and Monmonnnn finished off the hunchback at the olive grove, there were 15 mobiles left. Monmonnn would show up to finish off the tiger. [b]Part 5: Sealife, misplaced upper pagoda mobiles, and the ending[/b] Monmonnn and Zarquadon would go off to sea to finish sealife, but would run into a mishap. While they were fighting shark0, the weather started getting rough and their tiny vessels were tossed. And instead of setting ground on the shore of an uncharted island, they were both kicked out of The Land and had to re-enter. The moral of the story? *Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "don't set sail if you see clouds!". You have just been woken up! Your stamina is 37. *Monmonnn the necromancer shouts "I never thought to look up before i went if i didnt know". *Zarquadon the championne shouts "I forgor to pay attention to the weater". Eventually, the shark and the jellyfish were taken down. Galandra had to flee from the man, but Monmonnn was able to finish that fight. With time rapidly running out during the set, some of the mobiles usually found at the upper floors of the pagoda showed up at the area near the swamp and the cave. The ghost was spotted at the rapids, and the phoenix and the mongoose were spotted in the ogre lair and the leprechaun room. While Galandra found more than one round with the phoenix, Monmonnn sought shark and found it at the sea near the Isle of Woe. The shark proved to be a tough fight, and Zarquadon was still recovering from the fight with the other shark to help. Galandra, meanwhile, needed help finishing off the phoenix and Monmonnn once again swooped in to help. This time accompanied by Zarquadon. The three of them brought down the phoenix. Galandra made short work of the mongoose, while Monmonnn called for assistance with skeleton0 near the hut. Eventually, it was brought down and the only two mobiles remaining were the spider and the golem. Galandra had to go get a phial before facing the spider, or otherwise the fight would end in failure. Unfortunately, it took too long to get to the spider after finding the phial, and the set ended with the spider and the golem the last two mobiles left. Everyone soon found themselves in the tearoom. Players: Heiach the chimerical wizard Galandra the necromancess Zarquadon the championne Drizzle the wobbly mage *You suddenly realise Heiach the chimerical wizard has been here the whole time. *Monmonnn the necromancer has just arrived. *Zarquadon the championne says "Atmosian's log, stardate 3386907325". *Heiach the chimerical wizard says "close". *Monmonnn the necromancer waves. *Drizzle the wobbly mage sighs. *" Heiach the chimerical wizard says "and a lot of losses". The players discussed what went wrong this set, and how various bits of bad luck cost them each plenty of time. There would be another bash later in the month. Did that one go better? Well, that's a story for the next bash report. <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Zalagar on 24-06-2025 20:17 ]</font> [/quote]
