Zalagar was there to help start it, but Seifer would take over as presiding wiz for some portions of it. When the bash began, the following were present: who Pert the protector Paine the matriarch Monmonnn the warlock Dara the warlock Zedar the necromancer Drizzle the wobbly mage [b]Part One: East garden surface mobiles and stopping a thief[/b] Zedar announced his intention to do the bees at the start, taking his cue from Folly. And indeed he did just that (with the help of ReSite to make sure he could out quicker). Dara, meanwhile, chose to focus on the rest of the mobiles east of the river, taking down the fox, the stag, and the dove. Monmonn was over in the pine forest, and sighted the bison (he remarked that this was his first time seeing the bison in MUD2). Dara brought down the boar, and then headed off to the monastery to deal with the piglet (remembering a number of bashes where the piglet was overlooked and one of the last few mobiles). Meanwhile, Monmonnn ran into the thief, who stole the grandfather clock. Monmonnn blinded and crippled the thief to try to steal it back, and Zedar joined in to help. Together, they were able to put an end to the thief's attempt to thwart the players' progress. Dara chased the scorpion around the olive grove, but ended up breaking off from it to join the others for the pillar buff. Dara would then return to the olive grove to finish business with the scorpion. Zedar sought skeleton0 behind the waterfall as Dara resumed her mission to rid the area east of the river of all the non-keep mobiles. Meanwhile, Monmonnn declared that the Evil Wood would soon become less evil. As Dara finished off the coot, Zedar finished off skeleton0 and headed down to fight goblins. Monmonnn fought the vampire, but the vampire fled to the same location as the wraith, demonstrating how the vampire and the wraith earned the title of Tag Team Champions of the Evil Wood. After taking down a few more mobiles east of the river, Dara ventured to the mine and brough down zombie1 and the canary. Sone strange things happened as Seifer granted Zedar a sort of request. (Zedar the necromancer) shouts "I am here for the entire bash, but I think I'll be invisible for most of it <Z>". You have just been woken up! Your stamina is 56. who Seifer the glazed wizard Paine the matriarch Monmonnn the warlock Dara the warlock Drizzle the wobbly mage Zedar continued to fight goblines as Monmonnn returned to the evil wood, and Dara fought with zombie4. Monmonnn noted that it took around ten minutes to kill the vampire. [b]Part Two: The Keep, chasing crows, and ape forest[/b] A flood took out a few of the mobiles in the lower mine area. Dara also returned to the keep area to get rid of the wyvern so it wouldn't be in the way later on in the bash. Seifer at this point had to leave but he would return later in the bash. Monmonnn and Zedar continued in their missions in the evil wood and the goblin tunnels, respectively. While visiting the swamp, Dara decided that it was time to ban the banshee. Monmonnn joined in with her to finish the banshee off. The mouse, meanwhile, was swamped. From there, Dara went to the pagoda area and fought with ape0. Monmonnn announced he would be dealing with the keep shortly. After the fight with ape0 finished, Dara headed to the keep. It turned out Zedar was way ahead of Dara and Monmonnn and brought down the spectre. The man had also been summoned to the keep, and made his way to the upper levels. After discussion about how Zedar was way ahead of them, the group proceded up to the fourth floor of the keep, where they fought with the griffin and the man. After a long fight, the griffin went down. Dara and Zedar rested up, but Monmonnn went ahead, and shouted "Caw!" to signal that crows had been summoned by the maiden. The maiden went down, but some of the crows escaped. Dara pursued crow0 to the stream at luscious wood, and even further as it fled to other nearby locations, until she finally finished it. The hunchback, meanwhile, was still in the scriptorium at this point. Dara returned to the fourth floor of the keep and finished the remaining crow, crow4. Soon, there was the signal that there were 100 mobiles left. And then there were 99 mobiles left, with 67 minutes remaining. Monmonnn went to the cellar to face the rats, while Dara returned to the ape forest to face the remaining apes there. After defeating ape2, Dara would encounter ape6 with wafer32. Ape6 would eat wafer32 during the fought, but fall asleep due to wafer32's side effect during the fight (much to Dara's amusement). The ape6 looks superficially injured. The ape6 misses you. The ape6 has just fallen into a drugged sleep. The ape6 has woken up! You hit the ape6 (15-19). The ape6 looks to have minor injuries. The ape6 misses you. laugh OK, Dara the warlock laughs. You hit the ape6 (5-9). The ape6 looks to have minor injuries. The ape6 hits you (87/120). Zedar the necromancer shouts "heading for HB :)". Zedar headed off to face the hunchback. After Dara finished with ape6, ape4 showed up. Dara finished ape4, then went to rest for a bit. [b]Part Three: Strange king dwarf behavior, bar fights, and skeletons[/b] Drizzle the wobbly mage cheers. You have just been woken up! Your stamina is 95. who Paine the matriarch Monmonnn the dragonfly-slaying warlock Dara the warlock Zedar the necromancer Drizzle the wobbly mage As Drizzle cheered the bashers on from the tearoom, the participants moved on to their next targets. Monmonnn ventured into the dwarf citadel while Zedar went out to sea. Dara, meanwhile, fought with the snowbird and the pony. Meanwhile, Monmonnn worried that one of the dwarfs he was fighting were trying to escape the citadel, but he decided that they didn't get out. Seifer noted that one might have escaped, but Monmonnn replied "That one may have been out there naturally..." As the other bashers were going about their business, there came a surprise announcement. The king dwarf shouts "i will only die if you guess my name". Monmonnn the dragonfly-slaying warlock shouts "Your name is dead!". Dara the warlock shouts "Rumplestiltskin?". While Monmonnn continued with the dwarfs, Dara located ape11 at the public bar and emerged the victor in this barroom brawl. This was strange, but pretty normal by MUD2 standards compared to what Dara would see next. The king dwarf announced "bg at rapids", and Dara went to investigate. She arrived just in time to see the king dwarf finish off the billy goat, then leave. Just where the king dwarf went, Dara didn't know. Shelving the mystery, Dara decided to return to the pagoda to deal with its ground floor mobiles. Meanwhile, Zedar didn't realize he was carrying the coracle but managed to kill the skeleton2 anyhow. For your information: there are 50 mobiles still alive. (Persona saved on +300 = 57,611). Zedar the necromancer shouts "we too good". Seifer the glazed wizard shouts "agreeed". As Zedar continued at the mausoleum, Monmonnn made progress at the dwarf citadel. At this point, there were 47 mobiles left with 47 minutes left to go. Monmonnn would report that the king dwarf had gone missing. Zedar would get in a bar fight with skeleton1. In her second bar fight of the bash, Dara joined in the fight with the skeleton1 and helped Zedar finish the skeleton off. (Presumably, at the time Zedar arrived, the skeleton ordered a beer and a mop). As for the king dwarf? Seifer responded to questions about the king dwarf's disappearance this way: Seifer the glazed wizard shouts "hes dead what am i talking about". Monmonnn the dragonfly-slaying warlock shouts "He got scared!". Dara returned to the pagoda to finish off ape10, who had fled before. She also did some WH'ing, and discovered that goblin5, goblin4, goblin7, and goblin6 were still around. Zedar went to take a look. Monmonnn, meanwhile, took down several dwarf guards and roared in triumph. Monmonnn the dragonfly-slaying warlock roars. Monmonnn the dragonfly-slaying warlock shouts "The surlies are last!". Dara the warlock shouts "Did you bring down the dwarf monarchy?". Monmonnn the dragonfly-slaying warlock shouts "The king was dishonorable and abdicated early!". Dara the warlock shouts "I've yet to hear of dwarf flags being lowered to half staff.". Monmonnn the dragonfly-slaying warlock shouts "The queen has been dealt with!". Zedar the necromancer shouts "DING". Monmonn would leave the shortsword and some wafers in the hut. Dara would retrieve them and go to the pagoda to deal with the giant snake. [b]Part Four: Crocodile chasing and tiger hunting[/b] who Seifer the glazed wizard Salvadore the necromancer Monmonnn the dragonfly-slaying warlock Dara the warlock Zedar the necromancer Drizzle the wobbly mage Salvadore would show up, but he did not join in the bash to the best of my knowledge. He did, at one point, ask if we needed help. (Oh, and in case you're wondering, Zedar regained his visibility during one of the fights at the keep. Forgot to mention that earlier). Monmonnn brought down the wraith, thus finally clearing the evil wood. Zedar was fighting the remaining goblins. At this point, there were 28 mobiles remaining, with 33 minutes left. Monmonnn the dragonfly-slaying warlock shouts "The bison is waving bye soon!". Monmonnn the dragonfly-slaying warlock shouts "Dealing with the remaining goblins!". Dara the warlock shouts "Beware. The remaining goblins cheat! :)" [i](For the record, Dara's just engaging in her usual wordplay here. I haven't seen the goblins play card games, though they DO gamble with dice sometimes if the contents of the one guard room are any indication).[/i] Anyway, the bashers continued their pursuit. Salvadore the necromancer shouts "need a hand? Salv". Zedar the necromancer shouts "Only one left, Monmonnn. It eluded me". For your information: there are 25 mobiles still alive. In the distance, you hear the clear notes of a flute ringing through the air. Monmonnn the dragonfly-slaying warlock shouts "Rats are definitely gone!". Monmonnn the dragonfly-slaying warlock shouts "Ill summon the zombie out of the tomb". Zedar would finish off the shark1, and then head to the dragon island to search for the dragon. Meanwhile, Monmonnn had discovered the crocodile in the swamp. Monmonnn the dragonfly-slaying warlock shouts "It's got quite the snap!". Dara the warlock shouts "I remember when rock was young. Me and Susie had so much fun.". Fighting the croc was a tough task, but Monmonnn managed to bring it down. (And fortunately, it was nowhere near as elusive as it was during July 24th's bash, though the bashers did speculate about the croc's roam range within the swamp during the post-bash chat). Dara, meanwhile, went to the courtyard and its water feature, and soon shouted "Carpe carp!" (which is Latin for 'seize the carp'). Of course the real difficulty was with the tiger. (insert Dara vs. tiger picture here on the Discord version) The fight with the tiger was a rough one for Dara, with both of them on low stamina when the tiger fled. Dara pursued the tiger to the south part of the courtyard, where the following happened (from Dara's perspective): k mo with wp You attack the tiger, using the shortsword as a weapon. You hit the tiger (1-4). The tiger looks close to death. The tiger hits you (15/120). The tiger has fled by going northwest. You can fight him no longer. Staggering wildly, the tiger paces off. eat a wf MMMmmm..! It tasted delicious! (Persona saved on +2 = 58,292). You feel better already. Your stamina is 35. nw.k mo with wp Larch garden. You are standing beneath the boughs of beautiful larch trees, growing in a carefully-tended square of land in the northwest corner of an enclosed garden. East and southeast are courtyards, and south is a rockery. The very layout of the trees is sufficient to tell you that it probably serves some contemplative purpose, however you don't have time right now for the many years of study it would take you to understand what that purpose might be. Before you crouches the dangerously powerful form of a regal tiger. You attack the tiger, using the shortsword as a weapon. You hit the tiger (15-19). You have killed the tiger. (Persona saved on +360 = 58,652). The tiger has just passed on. sv 19 alive, 282 dead. who Seifer the glazed wizard Monmonnn the dragonfly-slaying warlock Dara the warlock Zedar the necromancer Drizzle the wobbly mage Fortunately, Dara still had a wafer left, and fortunately she was able to finish the tiger before it could hit her again (so even if she didn't eat that wafer, she would have won anyway. Dara, however, was not taking any chances). Zedar the necromancer shouts "dreamword: ghilt". Dara the warlock shouts "That's quite a ghilt trip. :)". Monmonnn, meanwhile, announced that dragon mission was accomplished. Monmonnn quickly went to work dealing with another mobile. In the distance, you hear a wolf baying AAAOOOOOOHHHH. Zedar the necromancer shouts "ape8, ape9". Zedar the necromancer cheers. Dara the warlock shouts "Sleeping off tiger fight right now.". At this point, there were 18 mobiles left, with 21 minutes to go. Monmonnn the dragonfly-slaying warlock shouts "On the way!". Monmonnn would fight with ape8, and Dara would help Monmonnn finish ape8 off. Dara and Monmonnn would then fight ape9 and the monk. [b]Part Five: Upper floor of pagoda, and the remaining mobiles[/b] Dara ventured to the upper floor of the pagoda. The ghost had already been busted, so Dara instead fought ape12. While that fight was in progress, The Land heard the terrible RHOAAAUUUAURRRRGGGGGGHGHHHGHHHH of a dragon dying. Dara then ventured to the second upper floor of the pagoda, and fought both the phoenix and the mongoose in the darkness. Monmonnn, meanwhile, was dealing with the water-snakes. During all this, the bashers were WH'ing to figure out which mobiles were left. Aside from the phoenix, the mongoose, and the snakes, there was the golem, the spider, and one other mobile left. When the mongoose fell, there were ten mobiles left. As Dara continued the fight with the phoenix, Zedar decided to experiment with the cord in the ruin to see if he could make the spider appear. Monmonnn continued with the water-snakes. Dara announced that the mobile from Arizona was down, and then that eight minutes were left. There were six mobiles around at this point. But who were they? Monmonnn the dragon-slaying warlock shouts "3 snakes, a spider, and a golem". Monmonnn the dragon-slaying warlock shouts "Are we still missing one?". For your information: there are 5 mobiles still alive. Monmonnn finished with the water-snakes, and then came the following announcements. Monmonnn the dragon-slaying warlock shouts "Snakes down!". Monmonnn the dragon-slaying warlock shouts "Golem, Spider, and ???". Soon, Monmonnn determined that one dwarf had been missed by everyone, making it the third of the three remaining mobiles (the others being the golem and the spider). After Monmonnn saw to it the dwarf was down, two mobiles were left. After the spider was slain, everyone went to do the ritual to access the place where the golem can be found. Monmonnn went in and brought down the golem. 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 = 62,238). A male voice in the distance roars. Monmonnn the dragon-slaying warlock cheers. cheer You cheer. A male voice in the distance shouts "great". Drizzle the wobbly mage cheers. Monmonnn the dragon-slaying warlock shouts "Icons at hut!". A male voice in the distance shouts "swamp them I'll take the keep treasure". Auto-reset initiated, you have 120 seconds to finish up. No further warnings will be issued! Drizzle the wobbly mage yodels "Let there be rejoicing throughout the land!". [b]Conclusion[/b] So yes, the bash was successful within seconds of the reset warning. People rushed to swamp icons and other treasures left in the hut before the reset, and did what they could before the following happened: who Zedar the necromancer Monmonnn the dragon-slaying warlock Dara the warlock Drizzle the wobbly mage Drizzle the wobbly mage yodels "PANIC!!!". Monmonnn the dragon-slaying warlock has just arrived. Monmonnn the dragon-slaying warlock has just left. *Something magical is happening. (Persona saved on 63,614). And with that, everyone ended up in the tearoom for the post-bash chat. All three of them were pretty satisfied with how the bash turned out. They chatted a bit about some of the events of the bash, and afterward did a bit of speculation on various mobiles and game mechanics. And so concludes this writeup of the Mobile Bash of August 21st, 2025. It was a pretty close finish, but it still allowed for a small amount of post-bash activity before the reset happened. Once again, as I like to say, one never knows just what might happen during a mobile bash, and that's part of the fun. Special thanks to Seifer for hosting, and to Dara, Zedar, and Monmonnn for their participation and contributions to this writeup. See you next time! [/quote]
