[quote] On 27-06-2025 15:10, Zalagar wrote: [b]Mobile Bash, June 26th, 2025[/b] The mobile bash for June 26th started only slightly sooner than usual, as the reset was occurring naturally close to the same as the usual starting time. As it began, the following players were present: *who Jinxed the superheroine Galandra the necromancess Cenedra the mischievous mage Monmonnn the warlock Drizzle the wobbly mage Dogtanian the guest [b]Part One: An already injured player, a strong stag, and spawning zombies[/b] Jinxed started off this bash somewhat worse for wear (due to a prior attempt at taking on an unusually strong zombie1 at the end of the previous set, which naturally didn't go very well). She found a weapon pretty quickly, though, which was convenient. Galandra, meanwhile, took a detour to the inn to get a wafer, then found the fox and the coot in the luscious wood area, and made short work of both of them. Monmonnn reported that the albatross was around this set (more on the albatross later). Galandra pursued and pummeled the piglet. There was a loud AAAAAAOOOHH (or something like that) in the distance, indicating the wolf had met an unfortunate mishap. Monmonnn would report leaving a boat in the hut. Jinxed made a beeline for the maze, taking out a dove along the way. Despite enduring a large amount of bee stings (bringing her even closer to death), Jinxed somehow managed to rid the maze of the bees. Galandra fought with the stag in the deerpark, but the stag was especially tough this set. Galandra ended up fleeing on 1 stamina, and rushing off looking for a safe place to sleep. She thought the monastery would be safe enough, but undead were spawning at the entrance. One zombie after another, and skeleton1. While they did not seem in any hurry to attack her, she did not feel safe trying to sleep in front of them, and they were not going to leave her alone. Monmonnn, meanwhile, killed the ogre and speculated that the man had killed the thief. Galandra gave up and QQ'ed, and re-entered the game, and found somewhere to rest undisturbed. Jinxed, meanwhile, made her way out of the maze as Monmonnn fought the basilisk. Galandra and Jinxed were able to join Monmonnn at the pillar party for the buff and some much-needed healing. All of them found themselves in the monastery area, killing a few zombies (Galandra would also take down the scorpion). Some mild malarkey involving a z4 and a butterfly later, Jinxed found herself ambushed by the ram. The ram fled, but Jinxed gave chase, and prevailed The goat witnessed this fight, and (according to Jinxed) leapt in to avenge his sheepish comrade (but given how the goat and the ram don't get along outside of bashes, I think it more likely that the goat was just seizing an opportunity). The goat found himself needing to flee as well, but he couldn't escape his fate. Galandra, meanwhile, fought with the eagle and a few dwarfs outside the citadel, while Monmonnn fought the vampire. Around the time Galandra finished with the dwarfs, Monmonn shouted "Vampire down!". According to Monmonnn, the vampire put up an impressive fight, using a wafer. [b]Part Two: Citadel, rats, and boss battles[/b] Galandra would enter the citadel, and take down the stocky dwarf guards, as well as dwarf31 and dwarf46. Jinxed would go after the water-snakes, and would find and claim the longsword. Meanwhile, Monmonnn took down the wyvern and the stag. Galandra would soon announce "Fighting poker-playing dwarfs!". *The dwarf22 misses you. You hit the dwarf22 (15-19). You have killed the dwarf22. (Persona saved on +48 = 31,898). There is a finely-worked poker here. The dwarf22 has just passed on. *A male voice in the distance shouts "Make sure they don't cheat!". Galandra would take down a number of dwarfs in the area around the entrance to the citadel and the dwarf hall. Meanwhile, Monmonnn had a mishap with the keg, when it exploded sooner than he expected it to. As Galandra continued with the dwarfs, and Monmonnn reported the man was down, Jinxed was in the cellar with the rats. Monmonnn would venture into the goblin realm, and run afoul of the feared exceptionally large goblin10. As a result of a mishap, goblin10 got hold of the broadsword. *Monmonnn the warlock shouts "Goblin 10 is armed and dangerous!". *Monmonnn the warlock shouts "The big one!". *Jinxed the dragonfly-slaying superheroine shouts "Crazy? I was crazy once! They locked me in a room! A dusty, gloomy room! Full of rats! And rats make me crazy!". Monmonnn prepared a mission to recover the broadsword as Jinxed fought with the rat infestation in the cellar. Galandra, meanwhile, went on to take down the hefty dwarf guards. Monmonnn stole the broadsword back. However, he encountered, in his words, "The fiercest goblin10 I have ever met.". The flee was successful, and the broadsword was thrown south and recovered. In an attempt to recover some more equipment, the goblin uncrippled and snuck ahead, catching Monmon off guard. Another flee ensued. While this was happening, Jinxed fought the ghoul and Galandra fought the burly dwarf guards (failing to steal their wafer, but managing to finish the fight anyway). Galandra rested up a bit, before going into the boss battle with the king dwarf, who was incensed at the murder of his loyal guards. (Suggested music for this boss fight: "In the Hall of the Mountain King" by Grieg). Elsewhere, Jinxed shouted "I am going to do something which may backfire horribly.". This, presumably, was feeding the dragon. After Galandra brought down the mad monarch of the dwarf realm, Jinxed shouted for help finding the barometer. Galandra and Monmonnn let her know that it was currently at the mausoleum. As Galandra rested after defeating the king dwarf, Monmonnn announced his intentions to go into his own boss battle. "Round 3 with the goblin! And this time its to the death!". Monmonnn would then announce progress during the fight. *A male voice in the distance shouts "A brutal start from the goblin! Taking minimal damage and dishing out a good amount!". *A male voice in the distance shouts "Its evasive, but took a hefty blow!". *A male voice in the distance shouts "The damage keeps coming!". *A male voice in the distance shouts "54/120!". *A male voice in the distance shouts "Its evasive!". *A male voice in the distance shouts "34/120!". *A male voice in the distance shouts "31/120! Its almost down!". *A male voice in the distance shouts "It has fallen!". *A female voice in the distance cheers. (Jinxed was not up to that much in the meantime. She decided to venture out to sea to deliver a snack to the dragon. Unfortunately, she got mildly delayed by the first shark, then found herself marooned on the ship thanks to some awkwardly-timed rain). [b]Part Three: Remainder of citadel, sealife, and keep[/b] Galandra found and defeated the dwarf queen, therefore abolishing the dwarf monarchy for the remainder of the set. There were soon 33 mobiles left alive, with 42 minutes remaining. Galandra announced to the rest of The Land that only the surly dwarf guards and the thickset dwarf guards remained in the citadel. Monmonnn would come to team with Galandra and speed up with getting rid of the thickset dwarf guards. Jinxed, meanwhile, fought shark1. Monmonnn succeeded in stealing a wafer from the surly dwarf guards, and Monmonnn and Galandra fought the surlies while Jinxed disposed of the jellyfish. From Jinxed's account: "Thanks to Monmonnn's intervention with the barometer, Jinxed was able to resume her delivery route, with a somewhat satisfied draconic customer! Her journey back was a bit more perilous, facing off against the other shark and a jellyfish, but she prevailed. She did notice an albatross on the homestretch. However, it's bad luck to kill a seabird (especially when low on stamina), so she decided to leave that as a job for future Jinxed. After all, there was a party at the keep she needed to join in!" That party Jinxed referred to was one Monmonnn suggested after the last of the dwarf guards was dealt with. Galandra and Monmonnn headed for the keep, but both got sidetracked: Galandra fought with skeleton1 at ruined terrace, and the skeleton proved to be a tough one. Monmonnn could not immediately rush in to help, because he was fighting the hunchback at the rapids. Galandra ended up fleeing from skeleton1. Monmonnn was able to bring down the remaining keep mobiles without Galandra, however. Galandra, meanwhile, took down the viper and then grabbed a phial and fought the spider. Galandra the necromancess shouts "Spider slain!". *who Monmonnn the warlock Galandra the necromancess Jinxed the dragon-slaying championne Cenedra the mischievous mage Drizzle the wobbly mage Dogtanian the guest Monmonnn the warlock shouts "One crow escaped!". Galandra the necromancess shouts "Caws for alarm!". After Monmonnn reported that the last of the crows were taken care of, Galandra joined Monmonnn at the area north of the keep to finish off skeleton1. *You attack the skeleton1. *You hear sounds of combat, as Monmonnn the warlock attacks the skeleton1. *You hear sinews tearing, as Monmonnn the warlock hits the skeleton1 with his broadsword. You have killed the skeleton1. (Persona saved on +190 = 33,382). For your information: there are 15 mobiles still alive. The skeleton1 falls apart. *Jinxed the dragon-slaying championne cheers. *Monmonnn the warlock has just left. At this point, there were 15 mobiles left with 26 minutes remaining. Jinxed sought the snugglepuss, and after sorting that out, returned to sea to find the albatross. Galandra, meanwhile, decided to deal with the remaining mobiles in the formal garden area, the swan and the boar. Monmonnn went after skeleton2, with Jinxed coming to assist. Some earlier WHEREing detected zombie2 roaming inside the monastery, and Galandra found it. After that zombie was disposed of, there were six mobiles left, with 17 minutes to go. Monmonnn the warlock shouts "Waterfall Skeleton, Zombie in tomb, Wraith, Golem, Albatross, 1 ???". Monmonnn then announced his intentions to go after the wraith and invited the others to join. Jinxed took down zombie7, and all three of them (Galandra, Monmonnn, and Jinxed) brought down the wraith. Afterwards, Monmonnn suggested skeleton0 was next. [b]Part Four: The Final Four[/b] Jinxed resumed the pursuit of the albatross, and soon would find and kill it, despite the sailors' superstition against it. Monmonnn, meanwhile, was in the grotto behind the waterfall, and Galandra also found her way there. Unfortunately, they were not able to team up to fight skeleton0, because Galandra and skeleton0 were fighting in a narrow small room that Monmonnn couldn't fit into after sk0 slipped past Monmonnn. Galandra had to flee from sk0 and resite, telling Monmonnn to finish the fight. *who Monmonnn the warlock Galandra the necromancess Jinxed the dragon-slaying championne Cenedra the mischievous mage Drizzle the wobbly mage Dogtanian the guest Soon, there were only two mobiles left. The golem and one other. Monmonnn guessed it was one of the rarely seen mobiles that only occassionally spawns in The Land, so Galandra and Monmonnn did some WHERE spells. After a short while, Galandra WHERE'd the pterodactyl, and detected it at the middle mountain. Galandra and Jinxed would find it there, and Galandra dealt the pterodactyl the final blow. *You hit the pterodactyl (15-19). You have killed the pterodactyl. (Persona saved on +61 = 33,145). The pterodactyl becomes extinct. And so the golem was the last mobile remaining. Everyone rushed to the places they needed to be in order to gain access to the golem. Just as everyone performed the right ritual, the following happened: *Auto-reset initiated, you have 570 seconds to finish up. No further warnings will be issued! *A female voice in the distance shouts "in!". You have just been woken up! Your stamina is 116. The room was too small for you to rest properly. *A female voice in the distance screams. *sh sane You shout "sane". *A male voice in the distance shouts "Good luck!". [i](The set was automatically extended because the players got the mobiles down to under 15 mobiles before the auto-reset was initiated. So the players certainly had more than enough time to wrap things up.) [/i] Jinxed somehow found herself thrust into the golem's lair. As she herself noted, it could have gone a bit better. The fight turned out as follows: (excerpt from Jinxed's point of view). Galandra the necromancess wishes good luck to you. (Persona saved on +10 = 14,805). * *The golem hits you (15/105). You hit the golem (10-14). The golem looks close to death. *scream You scream. * The golem misses you. You miss the golem. * The golem hits you (1/105). You miss the golem. * fo Ring0 dropped. Longsword dropped. You have fled by going out. Vicious rocks. It is raining. So Jinxed had to flee, and was stranded on the vicious rocks for a bit. But soon everyone was on the mainland again, and they tried again. This time, Galandra went in, and fought the golem. And here is Galandra's log of the event: Outer sanctum. You find yourself in the outer sanctum of some strange, holy temple. All about you, the walls seem to be a hazy, formless blackness, but there is a visible opening to the north whence comes an eerie, golden light. A murderous longsword glints ahead of you. A fabulously beautiful diamond-cluster ring is here! A sailable coracle, large enough for one, has been left here. A golem of solid iron stands here as guardian of the Inner Sanctum. *k golem The golem is approaching you venomously. *k golem You're already fighting the golem. *The golem hits you (115/120). You hit the golem (10-14). You have killed the golem. You have completed another Task. This makes a total of 7. You have performed enough Tasks to become a witch. (Persona saved on +100 = 33,230). (Persona saved on +112 = 33,342). 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 = 36,342). The golem has just passed on. *cheer You cheer. *sh Golem went down with one hit! Jinxed softened it up! You shout "Golem went down with one hit! Jinxed softened it up!". And so the bash was successful. Galandra brought the icons to the hut, where much treasure had been hoarded. Jinxed decided to head to the touchstone to attempt to gain magic. It turned out successful, and Jinxed returned to come back for much of the treasure. Everyone quickly wrapped things up, and returned to the tearoom for the post-bash chat. Players: Galandra the necromancess Jinxed the sorceress Rodion the hero Monmonnn the warlock Drizzle the wobbly mage Dogtanian the guest *Jinxed the sorceress says "wow that was a set". They chatted a bit about the mistakes they made, and the surprises. Jinxed the sorceress says "anyway, thanks for finding that vial1, whoever it was who found it.". Monmonnn the warlock says "I was dealing with the goblins, left the way I came and Oh. The big goblin snuck up...". Monmonnn the warlock waves. Galandra the necromancess says "Anyway, I'm glad I WH'ed the Pterodactyl.". *Monmonnn the warlock says "I didn't even know that one existed, I knew it had to be a rare mobile". *Jinxed the sorceress says "without that vial1, you'd have found yourself face to face with my next incarnation.". Galandra the necromancess says "Well, everything worked out very well. Surprisingly so.". Indeed. As Monmonnn noted, all three of them came VERY close to death at various points in the bash. Galandra fleeing from the stag at 1 stamina, Jinxed fleeing from the golem at 1 stamina, and Monmonnn's close calls with goblin10 provided each with some harrowing moments. Monmonnn said he really was going to fight goblin10 to the death after he announced it, and it turned out he won. All three of the bash participants were able to survive and recover, and go on to a spectacular finish. And so the last scheduled bash for June of 2025 concludes on a triumphant note. Who knows what July may bring? In the meantime, the final tally for June's bashes is two successful, one not quite successful (June 5th's ended with the spider and the golem left), and one called due to heat wave. All in all, June 2025 was a pretty good month mobile bash wise. Special thanks to Galandra, Jinxed, and Monmonnn for their notes and observations which helped greatly with this bash report. [/quote]
