More on that later. [b]Part One: Misplaced snakes, disappearing apes, and other twists[/b] Dara got off to a quick start, hunting down the fox and the stag before going off to rest. Spamton went to face the water-snakes while Zedar sought the bees in the hedge maze (because forgetting about them would be a Folly indeed). Zedar wasn't quite as fast as Folly usually is when dealing with the bees, but his bee hunt didn't have anything too unusual happen during it (at least not by MUD2 standards). Spamton, meanwhile, ran into a surprise when seeking out the water-snakes. Normally, the water-snakes keep to themselves and stay out of each others' business. However, Heiach decided to do some mischief here. Underground confluence. You are heading low beneath the jagged ceiling of an underground stream area. At this point the stream which runs off to the south is created by the confluence of two other streams, from the northwest and northeast. The former is narrow and flowing with a strong current, whereas the latter seems to be hardly moving at all. A slimy, slithering water-snake surfaces in front of you. A slimy, slithering water-snake surfaces in front of you. A slimy, slithering water-snake surfaces in front of you. A slimy, slithering water-snake surfaces in front of you. A slimy, slithering water-snake surfaces in front of you. A slimy, slithering water-snake surfaces in front of you. Looking a little mischievous, Heiach the chimerical wizard sits in the corner. Well, Spamton was only prepared to take on one water-snake at a time. As a result, the response to attacking the snakes with the 'best weapon' resulted in him taking on all six of them at once. Spamton ended up fleeing on 7 stamina. Dara, by this point, had noticed the gates to the pagoda area were open and sought out ape0 and the gang of roving apes in the forest outside the pagoda. She was assisted by Zedar who used a blindness spell. After ape0 fell, some of the apes started fighting amongst themselves. Dara would go on to fight the snowbird, and just as she finished off the snowbird, the snow leopard showed up. After the fight with the snow leopard concluded, Dara went to rest up. Spamton, meanwhile, returned to the underground lake. Zedar, meanwhile, went after the basilisk. Dara met with ape6 and had to flee. But fortunately, there was a call for the pillar buff, which everyone attended. After that, Dara returned to finish off ape6, then fought with ape3. Around this point, Heiach asked if there might be something to do to help. Zedar suggested removing apes and golem. Around this point, a lot of the apes had already gone down. As for the golem? *Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "golem isn't in the land now, as requested". *Zedar the bash-general necromancer shouts "Awesome! That will help!". *Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "I'm sure it will..". Dara then went to face the monk in the monastery, but ape9 was a no-show. Ditto for ape8, ape10, and ape11. The giant snake, however, was having its usual hissy fit. Meanwhile, Zedar fought with the rats in the coal bunker. After using up a wafer, Dara finished off the giant snake. With 73 minutes remaining, the status of the bash was the following: *sv 115 alive, 179 dead. *who Heiach the chimerical wizard Zedar the bash-general necromancer Spamton the dragonfly-slaying champion Dara the necromancess Cenedra the mischievous mage Drizzle the wobbly mage *Zedar the bash-general necromancer shouts "hb dead, dragon fed, working v and wraith". [b]Part Two: Golem vs. Griffin, and Lightning vs. Parasol[/b] Around this point, Heiach had a question. Heiach the chimerical wizard invites you to cast your vote how do we think the bash is going?. Dara the necromancess shouts "71 minutes left with 113 left to go. Seems okay so far.". *For your information: the period of voting has ended. The result was "LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE [[HYPERLINK BLOCKED]]!"/"SEEMINGLY OKAY."/"GREAT....."/"WELL THE VAMPIRE IS DEAD (UNDEAD?)". Well, I think it's obvious who made which votes. Dara would go on to the upper floor of the pagoda, and face the ghost. Zedar fought with the wraith after finishing the vampire, while Spamton went into the mausoleum. So yes, everyone was focusing on the undead at this point. *In the distance, you hear the terrible RHOAAAUUUAURRRRGGGGGGHGHHHGHHHH of a dragon dying. *Zedar the dragon-slaying, bash-general necromancer roars. *Cenedra the mischievous mage roars. Soon after, The Land heard a wolf baying AAAOOOOOOHHHH. Dara would move on to the upper floor of the pagoda and face the phoenix. There was no sign of the tiger in the courtyard, which was fortunate as Dara was on low stamina and the courtyard was the only exit from the upper pagoda. Meanwhile, Zedar was taking down the goblins. *Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "goblins are becoming goblouts". *wh zedar 1 in the place known as "goblin lair". Zedar the dragon-slaying, bash-general necromancer shouts "9 goblins dead including the ELG. I may return to the area, but for now I am on the Griffin". The golem showed up and fought the griffin around this point, which is very unusual procedure. *Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "griffin vs golem, golem lost, griffin very injured". Dara soon left the pagoda to take care of unfinished business at the pasture east of the vineyard, bringing a parasol from the upper floor with her. However, it was raining heavily outside and when she reached the northeast pasture, the following happened. *ne Northeast pasture. You are wandering across pleasant pasture, fenced off to the north and east and with fields to the south and west. Further to the southwest rises a majestic mountain, which towers high above the clouds. It is raining heavily. A handsome pony is standing in one corner of the field. *k pony with wp > PTSSSH < A bright flash of lightning forks down and strikes your parasol. (88/120). The parasol1 falls apart. And so the parasol1 went down with one hit from lightning. This event surprised Dara so much she mentioned it to the rest of The Land. Spamton the dragonfly-slaying champion shouts "NO REFUNDS!!!" After finishing off the pony, Dara had to rest and recover from both the fight and that surprise occurrence. While Zedar was wrapping things up in the keep, Spamton ventured to the underground forest to face the dwarfs there. *Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "congratulations on the griffin for completing one of the tasks (before it died)". [b]Part Three: Dwarfs, skeletons and spider[/b] Heiach noted that the bees were all dead. Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "wait the bees are all dead? Folly? Hello?" Dara the necromancess shouts "Zedar said they were a while ago.". *who Heiach the chimerical wizard Zedar the dragon-slaying, bash-general necromancer Spamton the dragonfly-slaying champion Dara the necromancess Cenedra the mischievous mage Drizzle the wobbly mage While Spamton was at the citadel, Zedar was at the ogre's lair. The ogre was gone. *You hear an awfully addictive song play in your head 'Baby dwarf, do do do do do!' *Zedar the dragon-slaying, bash-general necromancer shouts "face palm". *Spamton the dragonfly-slaying champion shouts "VIRAL MARKETING!". Dara would fight zombie0 at the foothills southwest of the badly paved road, then venture just a bit further west to join Zedar in finishing off skeleton1. From there, they went their separate paths. Dara joined Spamton in fighting dwarfs at the dwarf hall, while Zedar sought skeleton0 behind the waterfall. After Dara finished off the stocky dwarf guards, there were 47 mobiles remaining, with 40 minutes left. Soon, it was 44 alive, with 39 minutes left. Zedar asked if he'd broken the bash by burning the spider's web. Fortunately, Heiach was able to make sure Zedar had access to the spider. Soon afterward, Zedar reported the spider was finished. Dara would join in as Zedar fought the burly dwarf guards. Spamton arrived at the end of the fight, after sleeping off a fight with the hefty dwarf guards. All three of them would join forces to bring down the dwarf monarchs. They then went on to take down the thickset dwarf guards in the treasure chamber. The three of them emerged triumphant, but then there was this query from Heiach. *Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "why is the parrot asking me to like and subscribe?!?". Dara speculated that this was due to Spamton's influence on the parrot. To which Spamton responded: *Spamton the dragonfly-slaying champion shouts "MARKETING!!". *Zedar the dragon-slaying, bash-general necromancer shouts "Z moves to WH duty". [b]Part Four: Enhanced mobile 'bosses'[/b] Dara and Spamton then fought the surlies, and both of them managed to take down their enemies. Spamton gave Dara the shortsword afterward. With their business in the citadel completed, the bashers then headed back to the surface to see what was left. Dara would go to the garden region east of the river to take down the dove, the boar, and the coot. Zedar searched the coal bunker for any rats that had been missed before. With 11 mobiles remaining with 16 minutes left to go, Heiach posed the following: Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "maybe removing the apes and golem made it too easy now?". Dara, meanwhile, stated that she was trying to figure out who's among the remaining 11. To which Zedar replied that he had a list of the remaining mobiles. *Zedar the dragon-slaying, bash-general necromancer shouts "mouse, lion, parrot, piglet, snugglepuss, swan, z8". Goblin6 and goblin7 were the last remaining goblins. And while people were figuring out who the last two mobiles were, there was this message broadcast to The Land. *For your information: The mouse has eaten exceptionally well this winter... So Dara went to the upper floor of the inn where Zedar was about to confront the mouse. The mouse was worth 519 points at this point, so it was possibly a LOT tougher than normal. But before Zedar could initiate combat against it, Dara swooped it up and swamped it. Heiach didn't exactly take it very well. *Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "BEEG MOUSE STOMP MORTALS". When Heiach realized what had happened... *Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "NOOO!". Dara the necromancess shouts "LOL!". *Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "don't circumnavigate it". *Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "he was the final boss...". *Zedar the dragon-slaying, bash-general necromancer shouts "Nice save, Dara. A tricky trap I almost fell for.". Zedar would later say during the post-bash discussion that he was typing 'kill mouse' as Dara picked it up. So the boss battle Heiach was hoping for didn't quite work out the way he envisioned it. However, there were other enhanced mobiles out there. *Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "magic staff, make my monster grow!!". Dara, at this point, was headed to the courtyard, where (according to her notes) she had WH'd the lion as being. The courtyard is a strange place for the lion to be found. Why was it there? Well, Heiach had something to do with it. *Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "one of the remaining mobs is worth 500 points (and isn't swampable!)". *Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "mean players ruining my plan". *Zedar the dragon-slaying, bash-general necromancer shouts "Lion, Parrot, Piglet, Swan, Z8". Dara fought with the lion as Zedar confirmed the last five remaining mobiles. Despite the lion now being worth 510 points, Dara was about to bring it down, and received compliments from Heiach on her handling of the situation. Dara the necromancess shouts "No more lion! Time to be telling the truth from now on! :)" And so it was time to focus on the remaining mobiles. Heiach noted "looks like it's going to be too easy..". Zedar brought down zombie8, leaving two mobiles left: The swan and the piglet. Spamton fought with the swan and Dara fought with the piglet. However, while they were taking down their respective antagonists, some other mobiles spawned somewhere. These turned out to be about 7 or more crows at the keep. Dara rushed to join the fight against the crows (already in progress), but she was in such a hurry that she wasn't keeping track of her magic, and lost it during the fight. Heiach the chimerical wizard shouts "good job my crow minions, stealing dara of her magicks!". The good news, however, was that with the crows being taken down, the bash was successful. Furthermore, Dara was able to go to the touchstone and successfully regain her magic. [b]Final part: Post-bash revelations.[/b] *who Heiach the chimerical wizard Folly the warlock Spamton the guardian Dara the warlock Zedar the necromancer Drizzle the wobbly mage During the post-bash chat in the tearoom, the beefing up of the mouse and the lion was discussed. *Heiach the chimerical wizard says "my chonky lion was a bit harder though". Dara the warlock says "A bit. But I managed.". Dara the warlock smiles. Heiach the chimerical wizard mutters something. *Heiach the chimerical wizard says "did you val it?". Dara the warlock says "Yes. 510 points.". Heiach noted that he had swapped out the tiger (the usual courtyard mobile) for the lion, and while Dara WH'd the tiger, it hadn't occured to her that some other mobile might have replaced it. You may have noticed that there was no word about sealife during the above account. As it turned out, Cenedra suggested taking out the sealife, which is why sealife was absent during the bash. It further turned out that Heiach had dumped the sealife in the elusive alpine cottage hoping that Dara would find them. But since Dara doesn't visit that place during bashes, she never saw them there. Heiach abandoned that idea because he decided it was too hard. Zedar noted that there was eight minutes to spare, and that had there still been the sealife, apes, and golem it would have been a lot closer. Of course as I like to say, every bash is different. Different actions are taken during each bash, causing a sort of ripple effect. So one never knows just how things are going to go, and that's part of the fun. The following week, there was another mobile bash. Heiach was not present this time, and neither was Spamton, but we still had three bashers willing to participate. What happened then? Well, that's a story for the next bash report. <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Zalagar on 22-08-2025 03:48 ]</font> [/quote]
