Galandra arrived early, and chatted with Cenedra and Pert in the tearoom about favorite Muppets films and shows, and Spamton and Monmonnn showed up soon after. Heiach was not available this week, so Seifer the glazed wizard was the one who began the set. The mobile bash was soon underway, with the following in attendance: *who Seifer the glazed wizard Paine the matriarch Galandra the necromancess Spamton the superhero Monmonnn the warlock Drizzle the wobbly mage [b]Part One: A Quick Start and Extra Sealife[/b] Everyone quickly went to work. Galandra took down the fox, and then grabbed the billhook and rushed to the deerpark to fight the stag. A male voice in the distance shouts "I LOVE THE SMELL OF [[Hyperlink Blocked]] IN THE MORNING!". Spamton's bash started out mildly uneventfully. After taking a nice whiff of the [[Hyperlink Blocked]] in the air, he went out into The Land, whacking the scorpion, parrot, mouse, and the zombie in the mausoleum. Monmonn reported that the ichthyosaurus, the seagull, the albatross and the narwhal had been sighted at sea. So we had more than the usual amount of sealife this set. Spamton, meanwhile, decided to do battle with the viper. Of course, he was too much of a cheapskate to get some medicine, so he decided to heal up via the tearoom instead. Galandra found and disposed of the piglet, and shortly afterward, we heard a wolf baying AAAOOOOOOHHHH. Galandra would then venture into the cottage cellar, to deal with its rat infestation problem. Afterward, Monmonnn announced that pillar would be set up soon. Spamton was ambushed by the goat, which was soon taken care of, and Monmonnn fought the basilisk. Everyone soon came together for the pillar buff. With Monmonnn's approval, Galandra went out to sea to seek the dragon's island. Along the way, she encountered the seagull on the vicious rocks and brought it down. However, along the way to the dragon's island, she was blocked by the ichthyosaurus, and shark1 attacked. During the fight, the ichthyosaurus returned and would actually attack shark1, possibly speeding up that fight significantly. Galandra would fight back and sink both of them, before doing a quick ReSite to rest and recover. Spamton, meanwhile, found and claimed the longsword. Galandra recovered, resumed her trip to the dragon, fed the dragon, and returned. Monmonn, meanwhile, fought the banshee. The fight required him to use up a wafer, as the banshee displayed incredible ethereal might. [b]Part Two: Keep and dwarfs[/b] Galandra announced that she had left a boat on the stony beach, though it was raining at the time so it would be a while before anyone could go to sea. Monmonnn announced "Barometer in the large bedroom if you need it! Heading to the keep shortly!". Spamton, meanwhile, fought with the water-snakes as Galandra fought the eagle before entering the dwarf citadel. Over at the keep, Monmonnn did a summoning trick to get the assistance of the man (as Galandra and Spamton were both busy) and swiftly slew the spectre. A fight with the griffin followed. Galandra took down the stocky dwarf guards, and then had to fight several other dwarfs before having to rest and recover. Spamton had managed to deliver some once-in-a-lifetime deals to the slithering subterraneans, before helping out Monmonnn with the remainder of the keep. During all this, everyone in The Land heard the terrible RHOAAAUUUAURRRRGGGGGGHGHHHGHHHH of a dragon dying. Spamton would seek the snugglepuss. Monmonnn would announce "The thief's life has been stolen! Pity, he wasn't much of a treasure...". It was announced by Monmonnn that the dwarfs would be next, and to remember to beware the surlies (given what happened in previous bashes). Galandra announced that she was sleeping off the fight with lots of dwarfs and had already taken down the stocky dwarf guards. Monmonnn announced the broadsword had been left behind in the hut. Galandra went to investigate, and found that the broadsword wasn't the only weapon left in the hut. Not only was the dagger present, but Seifer had dropped the sabre and the epee in the hut. I don't think any of those weapons were used, as at this point Monmonnn had Valetant, Spamton still had the longsword, and Galandra claimed the broadsword. All three of them: Galandra, Spamton, and Monmonnn, teamed up to bring down the hefty dwarf guards and a visiting wandering dwarf. Galandra the dragon-slaying necromancess asks "Where to next? Surlies or burlies?". *Monmonnn the warlock nods. *Seifer the glazed wizard shouts "66 in 64". *Monmonnn the warlock says "South". The three of them would fight the burly dwarf guards next, and Monmonnn would claim the dwarf guards' wafer during the fight. After resting up, the trio of bashers would go on to fight the dwarf monarchs. After dealing with what Monmonnn referred to as "the dwarf duet", Monmonnn announced "Surlies next, and be careful." Given previous bashes, the stakes were high. But given that it was three on three, things went differently than they did in the previous bashes. Galandra provided us with this excerpt from her notes letting us see how the fight ended: You hear fast movement, as the surly dwarf9 guard misses Monmonnn the warlock. You hear fast movement, as Monmonnn the warlock misses the surly dwarf10 guard with his Valetant. You hear a parried blow, as the surly dwarf10 guard misses Monmonnn the warlock. *Monmonnn the warlock shouts "Not today! Nobody dies in here today!". *You hear sounds of combat, as Spamton the superhero attacks the surly dwarf11 guard. You hear sounds of combat, as Spamton the superhero attacks the surly dwarf10 guard. You hear sounds of combat, as Spamton the superhero attacks the surly dwarf9 guard. *You hear a slicing sound, as Spamton the superhero hits the surly dwarf9 guard with his longsword. You hear a shudder, as the surly dwarf9 guard misses Spamton the superhero. You hear a grinding noise, as Spamton the superhero hits the surly dwarf10 guard with his longsword. You hear fast movement, as the surly dwarf10 guard misses Spamton the superhero. You hear a crack, as Spamton the superhero hits the surly dwarf11 guard with his longsword. You hear a stumble, as the surly dwarf11 guard misses Spamton the superhero. You hit the surly dwarf10 guard (1-4). The surly dwarf10 guard looks close to death. The surly dwarf10 guard misses you. You hear sinews tearing, as Monmonnn the warlock hits the surly dwarf9 guard with his Valetant. You have killed the surly dwarf9 guard. (Persona saved on +36 = 39,432). The surly dwarf9 guard has just passed on. You hear a shudder, as Monmonnn the warlock misses the surly dwarf11 guard with his Valetant. You hear sinews tearing, as the surly dwarf11 guard hits Monmonnn the warlock. *You hear a shudder, as Spamton the superhero misses the surly dwarf11 guard with his longsword. You hear a swishing sound, as the surly dwarf11 guard misses Spamton the superhero. You hit the surly dwarf10 guard (1-4). You have killed the surly dwarf10 guard. (Persona saved on +36 = 39,468). The surly dwarf10 guard has just passed on. You hit the surly dwarf11 guard (20-29). The surly dwarf11 guard looks close to death. The surly dwarf11 guard hits you (80/120). You hear a grinding noise, as Monmonnn the warlock hits the surly dwarf11 guard with his Valetant. You have killed the surly dwarf11 guard. (Persona saved on +36 = 39,504). The surly dwarf11 guard has just passed on. *Spamton the superhero cheers. *ql foe I don't know to what "foe" you're referring. *Monmonnn the warlock shouts "Well, besides the dwarves...". *Monmonnn the warlock shouts "Well, besides the dwarves...". *Monmonnn the warlock has just left. *Spamton the superhero exclaims "I [[Helped]]!". *Spamton the superhero has just left. *Spamton the superhero has just arrived. *Spamton the superhero has just left. And so they triumphed over the surly dwarf guards. It probably helped that there were three of them facing the surlies this time, having prepared themselves with three of The Land's best weapons. In any event, Monmonnn went on to fight the thickset dwarf guards, and Galandra joined in to help finish them off. [b]Part Three: Goblins, zombies, bees[/b] Soon, there were 55 mobiles left, with 59 minutes to go. Monmonnn ventured to the goblin passages, and soon brought that number down to 50, and then to 41. Galandra was looking for more mobiles to fight. Along came zombie9, which she took down easily. Monmonnn the warlock shouts "A few zombies still around". Galandra the dragon-slaying necromancess shouts "Ah, zombie9. Glad you dropped by! Saved me the trouble of hunting you down!". Galandra found a barge, and used it to go to the man-made lake to face the swan. Spamton, however, was way ahead of her and was already fighting the swan so Galandra fought the boar instead. Spamton would join in the latter fight, and afterward they both realized that the bees were still active in the maze of hedges. As Galandra searched for the bees in the maze of hedges, Monmonnn would fight with skeleton1. One bee eluded Galandra, bee6, but it was soon found and disposed of. 25 mobiles left, with 49 minutes to go soon became 15 mobiles left, with 45 minutes to go, as Monmonnn announced "The zombies have been cleared up!". Spamton sought the spider, but made a slight mistake and forgot to dispose of the web. This resulted in Spamton getting sent to the tearoom due to a web-related mishap, and Galandra going in (carrying a phial) to fight the spider. Spamton would join in, and both would remember to drink from their respective phials as they finished off the spider. Afterward, Galandra set fire to the spider's web, so that everyone caught in it would be free to go. Monmonnn announced that the man's tour of the keep would be ending soon. Spamton ventured into the mausoleum to sell some bone insurance to skeleton2. sk2 isn't a fan of direct sales tactics. Galandra ventured in as well, to help finish off skeleton2. Soon, there were eight mobiles left with 37 minutes remaining. The bashers were making very good progress indeed. Monmonnn had already dealt with the vampire, and was now finishing the wraith. Spamton, meanwhile, finished off the ghoul. [b]Part Four: The Final Five[/b] Soon there were five mobiles left. Galandra the dragon-slaying necromancess shouts "The Top 5 Mobiles are ?". Spamton the superhero shouts "[[Iron Golem]]". Monmonnn the dragonfly-slaying warlock shouts "Narwhal, Shark, Albatross, Skeleton, Golem". So, three of the five were the sealife that Galandra and others had missed earlier, and the other two were the Skeleton0 and the golem, who players have to go out of their way in order to access. Galandra decided to save some time and trouble for everyone by attempting to summon skeleton0 at the railway track. Much to her surprise, it worked. Skeleton0 immediately moved off to the paddock, but it was too late: Galandra had already informed her fellow bashers that it was in the vicinity. She rushed after it to fight it, and would be joined in the fight by Monmonnn and Spamton. *Spamton the superhero cackles. *Monmonnn the dragonfly-slaying warlock says "Welcome to the bone zone!". *You hit the skeleton0 (5-9). The skeleton0 looks moderately damaged. The skeleton0 hits you (88/120). *You hear a slicing sound, as Spamton the superhero hits the skeleton0 with his longsword. You hear a swish, as the skeleton0 misses Spamton the superhero. You hear sinews tearing, as Monmonnn the dragonfly-slaying warlock hits the skeleton0 with his Valetant. You hear a stumble, as the skeleton0 misses Monmonnn the dragonfly-slaying warlock. *You hear a grinding noise, as Spamton the superhero hits the skeleton0 with his longsword. You have killed the skeleton0. (Persona saved on +67 = 40,367). The skeleton0 falls apart. Monmonnn the dragonfly-slaying warlock cheers. After all three of our bashers made short work of skeleton0, Monmonnn returned to the sea to seek sealife. Galandra and Spamton, meanwhile, would prepare for setting up the entry to the sanctum where the golem waited. Soon, Monmonnn would announce "The albatross is being clipped, leaving only the golem left!". The albatross would take a while to finally go down, but soon the golem was indeed the only one left. Spamton and Galandra announced they were in position, and soon Monmonnn took position as well. It turned out that Spamton was the one to go in to face the golem this time. The fight, from the perspective of everyone else in The Land: *A male voice in the distance shouts "FIGHTING [[The Big One]]". A male voice in the distance shouts "Spamton has made it into the once in a lifetime deal!". * *A male voice in the distance shouts "STOP [[Killing Me]] I ONLY WANT TO [[SELL]] TO YOU". *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 = 43,352). *A female voice in the distance cheers. The bash had ended successfully, with 26 minutes to spare. With the following present when the golem fell. *who Seifer the glazed wizard Spamton the champion Monmonnn the dragonfly-slaying warlock Paine the matriarch Galandra the dragon-slaying necromancess Drizzle the wobbly mage Spamton made it out of the inner sanctum, but ended up being stranded at the shipwreck near the vicious rocks. Luckily, he did bring a coracle with him ... but it was raining. So it would be a while before he would return to the mainland. However, they now had 25 minutes to spare. What to do with that time? They could go to the tearoom for the post-bash chat, or they could see what else they could do with the normal mobiles no longer in play. Monmonnn decided to do the trick to open up the redwoods area, as he did not know that area very well and wanted to explore it further. And so, much like the previous week, there was a Post-Bash Bonus. [b]Post-Bash Bonus: The Redwoods[/b] And so Monmonnn went into the overgrown forest, and fought with a piece of vine. Galandra arrived just in time to see the end of that fight. Galandra and Monmonnn would then go up into the forest canopy to face the male and female rocs near their nest. Galandra and Monmonnn soon went down to another section of the overgrown forest, and fought with the swam of ants. The black bear intervened in the fight, and Galandra ended up fleeing on 25 stamina. The rain eventually cleared up, and Spamton delivered some icons to the hut.He thought about what to do in this situation... and decided to cross the road and attempt to join the others in the redwoods. Spamton and Galandra would join Monmonnn and bring down the raccoon. The black bear and the swarm of ants were also disposed of. And so Galandra, Spamton, and Monmonnn wandered the barren plain for a while until they encountered the smilodon. Together, they wiped the smile off the smilodon's face, and there was only one mobile left out of the mobiles that had been added when the redwoods opened. The problem was figuring out which one. Galandra thought back to previous bashes, including one where the redwoods had opened. She did a WH on the ammonite, and found it was around. She rushed to the area where the ammonite was (it was in a place FAR from the redwoods, by the way, though it seems to only spawn when the redwoods are open), and soon finished it. With the ammonite done, the mobile count was down to 0 again. Of course, as everyone noted last week, the players only get the 3000 point bonus once. Galandra and Spamton went back to the hut, where the icons were stored. Monmonnn spent some more time trying to figure out the puzzle in the barren plain, before the reset occured and everyone went to the tearoom for the post-bash chat. And so for two weeks in a row, there were successful bashes with a bonus event afterward. This particular bash had a lot of teamwork, including some three-person teamwork that we haven't seen in a while. The fact that the pagoda area did not open this set probably helped in making them able to finish with 26 minutes to spare. *Spamton the champion exclaims "OH WOULD YOU LOOK AT THE [[Time]] AND HEAR THOSE [[Baloons]]??? THE STORE HAS REACHED [[Maximum Trading Hours]]!!!". And so the players concluded both this week's bash and the post-bash event, walking away with a good deal of satisfaction. We'll have to wait and see how future bashes go. Each bash is different, and each tells its own story. [b]Summary:[/b] Monmonnn, Spamton, and Galandra had a successful mobile bash with extra sealife but no pagoda. After finishing the bash with 26 minutes to spare, they had an expedition in the redwoods and brought down its associated mobiles while exploring the area. All in all, a fun and entertaining bash, with some wonderful player teamwork. [/quote]
