Monmonnn the dragon-slaying, boaring, bash-general warlock shouts "Would the bash still be a success if suddenly some mobiles would appear?". Spamton the chosen hero shouts "[[Won'tCount]]". Dara the explara necromancess shouts "It's after the fact now. Spamton's right. It won't count.". *Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "you can't get another 3k either". *Spamton the chosen hero shouts "IT HAS BEEN [[Tried]]". Despite this, there was soon the sound of rock splitting, and 49 mobiles spawned. The giants realm, and the expanded goblin cave and dwellings area, had opened. Monmonnn and Dara ventured there to see if they could take out a few of those, even though the main bash was over. After taking out a number of goblins, Dara had to rest, and there were 35 mobiles remaining. Monmonnn also took out his share. Heiach extended the time of the reset by a few more minutes to allow more time for them to actually take on a giant or two. 34 alive, 264 dead. *nw You cannot go northwest from here. *s Monmonnn the dragon-slaying, boaring, bash-general warlock shouts "An amount!". *sw You cannot go southwest from here. *sv 33 alive, 265 dead. *sh 33 Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "give me a number". *s Upstairs landing. *d Monmonnn the dragon-slaying, boaring, bash-general warlock shouts "10 minutes!". *The impending reset has been postponed by 600 seconds. It will now occur in 730 seconds' time. Dara took down some goblins, and went to help Monmonnn with giant0, but had to flee at 9 stamina. Indeed, it was a rough fight, and the giants can deal heavy damage if the players aren't careful. Monmonnn was left to fight giant0, and then giant3. *Heiach the chimerical wizard says "I'll have to check the lineup". *Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "the ths is special". *Monmonnn the dragon-slaying, boaring, bash-general warlock shouts "Oh my lord that was close". *Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "splat him giant0!". *Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "I meant giant3". *Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "boo". *Monmonnn the giant-killing, boaring, bash-general warlock shouts "Where did they come from oh my". Dara would rest up and return to help with giant3, and with a few of goblin44's five-goblin band that had joined in the fight. Dara had found the two-handed sword at this point, and used it as a weapon. Giant3 fled several times, and eventually Dara and Monmonnn caught giant3 at the rutted path, where the following ensued (from Dara's perspective): Rutted path. You are on a narrow, muddy path that is heavily rutted with cart tracks. These disappear through a gap in a line of bushy trees to the northeast, but continue to the south along with the path itself. East burns a cooking fire, with some scrappy gardens to the southeast; beyond both of these is a line of three small dwellings. To the west are meadows of deep grass. An athletic-looking, one-eyed, female giant grins at you evilly. *You attack the giant3, using the two-handed sword as a weapon. *You hit the giant3 (10-14). You have killed the giant3. (Persona saved on +570 = 48,264). The giant3 has just passed on. *Monmonnn the giant-killing, boaring, bash-general warlock has just arrived. *Monmonnn the giant-killing, boaring, bash-general warlock glances around. *cheer You cheer. *s Monmonnn the giant-killing, boaring, bash-general warlock cheers. *sv 25 alive, 273 dead. *who Heiach the chimerical wizard Dara the giant-killing necromancess Spamton the superhero Alexander the necromancer Drizzle the wobbly mage Monmonnn the giant-killing, boaring, bash-general warlock *Monmonnn the giant-killing, boaring, bash-general warlock has just left. *Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "that was close dara". *Your magical dexterity has worn off. *A male voice in the distance shouts "MY [[WellPaidEmployee]] AGREES WITH THAT COMMAND". *Monmonnn the giant-killing, boaring, bash-general warlock shouts "I almost got cleaved!". Indeed, it was a close one, as Dara was on low stamina when the giant3 fell, and Monmonnn also barely survived. The set (and the bonus bash) soon ended, and everyone ended up in the tearoom for the post-bash chat. Much of the post-bash chat was about the giants, the two-handed sword, and the pack of five goblins. Dara noted that she does use a spell on giants during combat, but left the others to guess which one (and no, it's not the CHANGE spell. Dara might use that spell every now and then, but not during combat). As for the bash proper, the marmot was brought up as it's one of those rarely-seen mobiles that sometimes spawns in The Land (the same can be said of the albatross). Someone mentioned a unicorn, and to our surprise, one appeared in the tearoom. *ql Elizabethan tearoom. A majestic and very rarely-seen unicorn bounds into view! Alexander the necromancer is here holding a cup of tea. Spamton the superhero is here holding a cup of tea. Looking a little mischievous, Heiach the chimerical wizard sits in the corner. Monmonnn the warlock is here holding a cup of tea. Drizzle the wobbly mage continues to be the ultimate pelican crossing (whatever that means) holding a cup of tea. *Monmonnn the warlock nods. *val The unicorn has just left. *val u Monmonnn the warlock says "Oh thats new.". *Heiach the chimerical wizard didn't just make it. *Spamton the superhero asks "ANOTHER [[Unicorn]]!!?!?!?". Spamton the superhero cackles. Dara the necromancess says "I thought the unicorn was just a MUD2 urban legend. There was this legend that if you let the lion (the living version) roam long enough, eventually it'd encounter a unicorn.". *An inquisitive raccoon watches you closely here. Please note, I can't say whether or not this legend is true, but I do recall it being mentioned in an article in either Muddled Times or Admiral Bombow's Chronicles. In any case, the subject of rarely seen mobiles continued for a while before the post-bash chat concluded. In Summary: This was quite an interesting bash, with two or three twists not many saw coming. We had the return of Heiach at the start, and the return of Spamton in the middle, and we had an unexpected post-bash event. In addition to all the usual chaos of MUD2 mobile bashes. There was also (as Monmonnn would note later) a lot of cooperative play during this bash. Monmonnn teamed with Jinxed at keep and dwarfs (until the incident with the surlies), and joined with Dara facing skeleton1, ogre, and a few others, and teamed with Spamton when seeking creatures at sea. Indeed, just about anything can happen during a mobile bash. No two bashes are alike, and all of them have the potential for surprises. This was indeed a memorable and incredible bash. <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Zalagar on 16-07-2025 01:05 ]</font> [/quote]
