Bash report 25/04/2024:
Well, this mobile bash had some returns to MUD2. We welcomed back Hawumph the onomatopoeic arch-wizard, after a lenghty hiatus. Also present was Jamesbond the necromancer, doing his first mobile bash in over a decade (he would say later he greatly enjoyed his first bash in 15 years or so).
When the bash officially got underway, the following were present:
*who
Hawumph the onomatopoeic arch-wizard
Firedemon the dark wizard
Heiach the chimerical wizard
Zedar the bash-general necromancer
Rob the complaining warlock
Dedfish the swordswoman
Jamesbond the necromancer
Dara the necromancess
Cenedra the lovely mage
Lowfields the necromancer
Drizzle the wobbly mage
Joined by Jamesbond, bash participants Zedar, Rob, Dedfish, Dara, and Lowfields ventured out into The Land while Cenedra and Drizzle stayed in the tearoom to offer moral support. Similar to the previous week, Dara disposed of the fox, the scorpion, and the piglet early on.
The man and the thief were taken down in the pine forest, and Dara fought with the bison. Soon the bison went down. The bison had been one of the final three mobiles in the previous week's bash. Later on, someone else, not wishing the ending of this bash to be a similar story, took down one of the other final three from the previous week's bash, the spider.
Dedfish defeated half of the watersnakes, and then joined Zedar and Jamesbond to take out the other half.
Dara managed to use a prepared explosive to take down one of the giants, but not before having to deal with five goblins who fought with her. Afterward, she disposed of a number of goblins, though the chickens proved elusive, some hiding in small rooms.
Lowfields took down a giant or two. After giant3 fled from Lowfields, Zedar pursued it and dealt the finishing blow.
After finishing off the drake, Dara left the area while the others finished off the cows.
Dedfish took out most of the north mountain area mobiles (snowbird, pony, and such) and then teamed up with Zedar and Jamesbond to fight in the evil wood.
Dara took out ape0, and many of the other apes got upset about it and took out their frustrations on each other. Dara would find ape5, ape2, and ape4, and take them down.
Meanwhile, Jamesbond, Zedar, and Dedfish teamed up to take on the vampire and the wraith, and brought them down while Lowfields finished off goblin32.
Dara and Lowfields finished off the giant snake, and then worked together to take down the tiger. Lowfields had to flee while Dara dealt the finishing blow, but Lowfields would go on to deal with the mobiles on the upper floor of the pagoda.
Rob fought with the dwarfs in the dwarf realm, including the king and queen, and Zedar arrived to assist with the surlies.
Sealife was a problem. More than once, mishaps occurred at sea when attempting to take down the sharks. There was rain, and there was the time Zedar ended up fleeing from a shark. But soon, the sealife was sent to the bottom.
Dedfish found the ox and disposed of it.
As the mobile count went down to 12, there was WHing and shouting. Stag, swan, boar, zombie7, and others were left. Dara took down the boar, and arrived while Dedfish and Rob were fighting the stag (Dedfish with the billhook, Rob with Valetant, and Dara with the rice flail). The swan was also disposed of.
The lion spawned, and was sighted in the center of the graveyard along with the summoned skeleton0, both of whom were taken down by Rob.
Rob also fought with the monk, which was one of the last five mobiles remaining.
With the wolf and the golem (and bee0) the last mobiles left, there was a search for wolfsbane. Rob found it and went to the wolf, and bee0 was taken down. With golem the last one remaining, there came the meditating with Dara and Dedfish helping.
The golem went down, and the mobile bash was successful with 28 minutes to spare. Rob kindly left the icons and the keep treasure in the hut for any who wanted it.
And so this bash was a success, thanks to great teamwork in many areas. We'll have to wait and see what awaits us in the weeks to come.

The mobile bash for May 2, 2024 started off quickly after over a half dozen players arrived at the start of the set. Almost instantly, giants opened, meaning this was going to have an extra challenge. When the bash started, the following players were around.
*who
Heiach the chimerical wizard
Sibylla the voyager
Snypster the warlock
Dedfish the sorceress
Lowfields the necromancer
Dara the necromancess
Drizzle the wobbly mage
Rob the bash-general warlock
Rob was named bash-general this time around (Zedar, who was voted bash general in at least two consecutive bashes, was absent this week). Dara ran into the thief early on, and decided to give players relief from the grief caused by the thief. Dara also took care of the fox, the coot, and the scorpion before attending the bash's first and only pillar use.
Dedfish took out the stag and the raven and some other surface mobiles, including the banshee (with the help of an invisible warlock). Lowfields at some point got rid of the bees.
Dara disposed of a zombie or two on the way to obtaining something explosive, which was tossed into giant1's location. After that, Dara, Lowfields, and Dedfish went to work in the area around the giants' house, clearing out a great many mobiles. Many goblins, as well as chickens, fell in the events that followed. Highlights included Dara and Dedfish against the cows. Lowfields, meanwhile, was fighting giant3 when Dara joined in at the right time to speed up the fight. The giant fled, but the two players were quick on the re-attacks, and soon THIS happened:
The giant3 misses you.
You hear sinews tearing, as Lowfields the necromancer hits the giant3 with his
two-handed sword.
You have killed the giant3.
(Persona saved on +278 = 42,524).
The giant3 has just passed on.
*Lowfields the giant-killing necromancer makes some magical gestures.
Lowfields the giant-killing necromancer has just left.
*s
Stony ground.
It is raining. You spot a shiny, silver nugget down by your feet. Glinting in
the light is a shiny, silver nugget.
*who
Heiach the chimerical wizard
Sibylla the wayfarer
Snypster the warlock
Dedfish the sorceress
Lowfields the giant-killing necromancer
Dara the giant-killing necromancess
Drizzle the wobbly mage
Now that Lowfields and Dara earned their giant-killing prefixes, Dara went south and into the giants house, where she ran into a goblin and giant2. Unfortunately, Dara had to flee from giant2, and Lowfields finished off giant2 without her. Dara was able to eat a leftover wafer to recover stamina, and then headed off to the apes area to fight with ape0.
Rob and Sibylla did keep, with Sibylla helping to get past a certain puzzle obstacle and earning the prefix 'uplifting'. Rob managed to complete the fight with the maiden without any crows summoned or taking much damage.
Meanwhile, Sibylla took down the pike, just as ape0 went down. Dedfish fought with the watersnakes. Dara finished off the north mountain mobiles while the distant RHOAAAUUUAURRRRGGGGGGHGHHHGHHHH let everyone in The Land know that Rob had dealt with the dragon. Rob went on to start dishing out damage in the dwarf realm. Helmsman, meanwhile, joined the bash effort and requested a prefix (since everyone else had one at this point), resulting in this who list.
*who
Heiach the chimerical wizard
Helmsman the mayonnaise warrior
Sibylla the dragonfly-slaying, uplifting rover
Dedfish the cow-clobbering sorceress
Lowfields the giant-killing necromancer
Dara the giant-killing necromancess
Drizzle the wobbly mage
Rob the dragon-slaying, bash-general warlock
The apes had gone crazy over the events of the bash, and some took out their frustrations on each other, with apes 5, 6, and 7 fighting apes 1 and 4. Dara would later find apes 4 and 5, weakened from these fights, and finish them off. Dedfish, however, lost her magic when fighting the man and spent much of the remainder of the bash without magic.
Lowfields, meanwhile, took on and ascended the pagoda, taking out the mobiles on the upper floor. Dara tracked down the man, who had survived the earlier fight which cost Dedfish her magic, and finished him off. Helmsman, meanwhile, led in taking out the remaining goblins.
Rob fought with the ghoul while Dara dealt with the swan. At this point, there was a lot of WHing to determine which mobiles we'd missed. Giant0 was still around, and so was Zombie7 in the west tomb, the surly dwarf guards, and a few other dwarfs. With this in mind, Dara rushed to the dwarf citadel to help out in dealing with the leftovers.
Dara was greeted by the old female dwarf40 and female dwarf34, the latter of whom challenged her to a deadly game of poker. But Dara triumphed over her adversary, and joined with Rob and Sibylla to take down the surlies.
Dedfish found the longsword and used it to fight and defeat the last remaining water-snake. Sibylla and Rob disposed of the ogre. Rob and Sibylla went to sea to take on the sealife. After Rob rid the sea of the jellyfish, there were eight mobiles left: Giant0, Skeleton0, wolf, giant snake, spider, moth, tiger, and golem.
After the wolf disturbed The Land by loudly baying AAAOOOOOOHHHH, the wolf was disposed of. Dedfish took out the giant snake, with help from Lowfields wielding a bucket.
Helmsman, meanwhile, fought with the spider but greatly underestimated the spider and its poison. He had to re-enter The Land, and with some help from Sibylla, dispatched the spider.
Lowfields fought with giant0, but was forced to flee. As a result, giant0 was worth 909 points. Dara, however, rushed into the area while the giant0 was still critically injured, and successfully brought down the last of the giants. This left only 3 mobiles remaining. Skeleton0, the tiger, and the golem.
Rob summoned the skeleton0 to the hut, and five players (Rob, Dara, Dedfish, Helmsman, and Sibylla) made short work of the last remaining undead creature in the set. Soon, Lowfields, Dara, and Helmsman (and an invisible Rob) hunted the tiger and brought it down. And so the golem once again was the last mobile remaining.
Dedfish spammed meditation, and Rob went into the golem's chamber to fight with the golem at the 32 minute mark. With 31 minutes remaining in the set, the following happened:
*who
Heiach the chimerical wizard
Sibylla the uplifting rover
Helmsman the poisoned hero
Dedfish the cow-clobbering championne
Lowfields the giant-killing necromancer
Dara the giant-killing necromancess
Drizzle the wobbly mage
*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 = 47,552).
*sv
0 alive, 294 dead.
With no less than six active participants throughout the bash, with pagoda and giant area both open, and with 31 minutes remaining, the bash was a success. Icons and other treasures were left in the hut for others to collect before heading back to the tearoom for the post-bash chat. Dedfish headed to the touchstone, and thankfully survived and recovered her lost magic.
Epilogue/Aftermath:
There was a bit of experimentation afterward that caused the overgrown forest/roc nest area to open, as well as another ape to appear, but most of us didn't feel like going back out. The bash had already been successful, after all, and you only get the 3k bonus reward once per set. So we stayed in the tearoom, talking about the bash and the highlights of it. Helmsman's fight with the spider and Lowfields' encounter with giant0 were talked about, and Rob noted how the monk got in the way again for the second bash in a row.
We also spoke with Heiach about the possibilities of other events besides the bashes. One idea that came up is the 'treasure bash', where we seek to find and swamp all the treasure in The Land. But that's a subject for another thread.
In the meantime, this was a fun and successful bash. We'll have to wait and see what future mobile bashes might hold for us. In the meantime, others are free to add their observations, and point out any details I missed.

This was the first time Dedf1sh experienced the problem of 'running out of magic', and found herself fully expecting to get obliterated by the touchstone after getting through the bash (surviving the touchstone twice!?  ).
The Man seemed to have the same idea, turning himself invisible and unilaterally departing the fight (without fleeing) shortly after this mishap, with all the exaggerated unviewable swagger of an invis muser untouchable by mere low-stamina fighters, knowing that Dedf1sh would end up meeting the same fate as most Champion(ne)s soon enough anyway.
Despite having this sense of foreboding looming over her during the rest of the bash, Dedf1sh didn't let that dissuade her from putting her all into the bashing effort - and was pleased about finding the longsword (it was in the rocky pit this week). Her lack of magic also didn't prevent her from stumbling upon the moth - in fact, it actually helped, as she found it whilst looking for the Snugglepuss, which (unbeknownst to her due to a lack of WH) was already dead. And so, the bash concluded, and Dedf1sh, knowing her time was up, opted to go out in style.
She was pleasantly surprised when she found herself still alive (albeit at the cost of an amazing punchline) - making this the first time she survived a bash without dying any stupid deaths or death deaths.
Granted, she promptly decided to throw some science against the wall, making her way over to the pagoda to enter the coffin to see if any Strange Things would happen - in turn earning herself a stupid death by returning to monke in the name of science. Of course, Strange Things ultimately didn't happen, but she at least made the pagoda ape-free again afterwards.
