cngrts dbb!

Spill it dubb! Who ssstole the crumpetssss?

who stole the cookies from the cookie jar?

It was hoops.

I take it this wasn't a challenging investigation.

C'mon, the fat broke kid stole the cookies. We all know who I'm talking about.

I eat better than this and don't need to stoop to thieving. If I want someone's cookies, there won't be a mystery to solve.

I don't think anyone believes DV is anything to close to what he has puffed himself up to be.

Afternoon actions are done. talk away bitchwhores!

I see no hoops death wtf

Pleasant dreams everyone. Good luck PB.

Ah good thinking sweetheart

nd 2 thnk PB hlpd Dnn, smrtss!

Sorry, hoops, i already found a magical mace that I was looking for. I sold the KG + 4 at the Marid sale before I saw your post.

Dont apologize to that scoundrel!

I think hoops get a nigtht time cranky bonus

hi hoopsy woopsy.
If it's any consolation. I don't dissslike you becaussse of any other reassson than you built sssomething called an armegeddon potion and then drank it. Oh yeah and enssslaving a faery too.

I think Hoops is great for the dungeon. He is the perfect antagonist for this place. He enslaved a fairy which is awesome. He drank a potion that caused me to wake up with a weird rash and a burning sensation when I pee. Also, his lovers quarrel with Danny is my favorite thing in the game.

Hopefully everyone has nightmares tonight!

Apologize to Hoops! You should learn to apologize to that scoundrel Danny, maybe you would not be in such a heated lover's quarrel then.

Zinto's curse is the best thing to happen in this thread today.

Sure, the drunken harp gets no credit for helping lead the fairy from a live of slavery into a life of blessed forced companionship!

Danny is just jealous, we call it mad cow disease.

We all know that Hoops is the one that decides that a duo will become a trio. You, being the floozy that you are, were much more receptive to the idea than poor sensitive Danny. Danny fled when Hoops decided to add you into the Ménage but you seem to be much more happy in his arms, regardless of who else is there;)

I don't get it either. This dungeon clearly needs more neutral guys like you - folks willing to experiment a little bit with bending the rules, exploring new ideas, not just following the herd. You've been willing to seize that opportunity and run with it, in ways that blowhards like Darth Vilus probably never will.

When we "force companionshiped" that fairy, you were 100% committed to the effort. You deserve every bit of credit there is to give for those actions and I'm proud to say that I was your teammate. I could see a lot of folks being squeamish in that position but you did great.

When Danny bailed on the party, you scoffed in his general direction and kept focused on the task on hand.

And when I had to strategically withdraw from some overgrown self-healing tree - well, you were able to finish the job and grab a big fat pile of XP that I only slightly begrudge you for getting.

If no one else is willing to give you credit, I definitely am.

Oh ho ho ho! Me thinks Hoopsy is in denial!

I think Hoopsy is trying to call me out! I would be more than happy to meet up sometime in this dungeon, I'll take ya ;)

I swore long ago to divide the righteous and the wicked, and burn the wicked down.

I will show you how awful goodness can be!

Well, if I'm in denial then apparently the guys Abe enlisted to book odds on Top 5 were in the same boat.

To hear you talk, Dubb has been eating your dust. But looking at those standings, you were on the fringes of the Top 5. Guess they were not as impressed by you running roughshod over the first level bricks for two weeks (shrug).

I've posted everything I've done thus far, everyone can judge for themselves

The Night life...is the right life...yay!

heh I grabbed one of those potions too ntn :D and some other cool stuff.

Shhhh.......don't wake up the giant, she's sleeping....

I also have one more id potion if you want to use it CF on the armor

Actions done, yadda yadda

You missed hoops dying

You missed me laughing

Again

really??? nothing happened??


ntn I was just thinking you could give yme your whatsits and i could use the enlightenment and learn what all of them are

did you already powder yourself?

I just hit level 9

Oops that number is upside down

You'll never get anywhere in life without bending the rules a little! Every good bard knows that.

And every good bard also knows that a real adventure happens when you are with interesting people. And it surely has been interesting.

G morning and actions yay

Someone better be fighting this morning!

expect a delay befor eI can finish processing them

In the end, after a day of much soul-searching, I have decided to battle...no one.

Those of you calling for hoops' death should look inside to see the evil in yourselves. Meanwhile hoops has shown glimmers of goodness in his loyalty and teamwork with Jackal. That is the way it is with all things. The balance must be kept.

In a practical sense, the thread will continue to be far more entertaining with hoops around as well. I could've gone after Chief Rum because I know he has a ring I covet, but that would have felt like murder. The real battle royale would've been with dubb but while we're rivals, we've had a couple of good business transactions and I've been impressed with his play the entire game. Had I won, it would have felt like an empty victory. I probably could defeat most anyone else, but I don't have a grudge against any player (sure I'm disappointed with the result from hoops' potion but the result could have gone a number of different ways depending on die rolls) and don't think I need to defeat anyone to win.

So, that's why I will leave the Arena without partaking in it. I believe there will still be some drama for me later today though.

Boooooring

And hoops is just using jackal, jackal picked up a very nice +10% xp and + damage banner that is good for whole party so it makes sense to stick wot him. Hoops will screw him pver in the end thoigh for thay last spot.

For arena i would have challenged hoops, even thoigh i would likely lose and die.

Just a reminder but i would love lightning bolt spell recipe if anyone clmes across it. Would off as much as i could for it

Are you rocking Icy Blast now?

No have never seen recipe

I was in a room where i could buy lightning bolt but has no gold to do it

As of now i have 110 gold, nocturne potion and unidentified potion which probably has a value around 200 id trade all pf it for a good level 3 spell

Morning is over, talk away

I would have battled someone in the arena. Abe, if you want to replace JAG with me, I'll understand.

In the end, concerns over a potential battle with JAG led to me making different purchases than I would have otherwise.

But I really was untouched in the battle yesterday. Jackal, however, would have had no spells whatsoever and was packing a load of potions plus that nifty banner that Danny mentioned. I'm very glad he wasn't picked, as he would have been dog meat - unless he's been holding out on me with items drops.

Going it alone on this level would probably have slowed my progress as well. And as Danny has correctly pointed out, I'm all about getting into the Top 5 no matter who gets in my way.

Ragone, you got the good stuff? What did you find?

Also, what direction do you want to go today?

Got a ring of spell deflection.. id say justpick a direction and go chief..

Finally found something when searching a room. Huzzah!

Now lets go find something big and nasty to kill.

JAG's alignment shifted to good today. We claimed another one! :D

speaking of which I think it's ssspider day for CHief and Ragone. Go rock it guyssss!

No, we're in the room where the spider was. Armageddon shuffled things; the spider was no longer there. Now it's an acid blob or something like that, which we killed (eventually).

hmmmm that'sss weird.
never underessstimate the power of abe to sssscrew with ussss

Quoted for truth. And Candy

Throws pixie stix at U

Let's process this!

Sssso JAG, what wasss all that about yessterday?

you have cryssstal ballssss?

I have balls of steel

Oh no, JAG has moved into the Center Room of the Dungeon, and is about to engage Euplatious, the Mighty Dragon!


Let's watch!

Whoaaaaaaa

The pixies tune you in, and you get to see what is happening

isss that sssskull at the bottom mckerney? or isss it poli from lassst dungeon?

why isss that an oh no...apart from dubb, JAG isss the one everyone thinksss is the bessst in combat and will go the furthesssst. We actually get to sssee that!

Feeling hot hot hot.

JAG moves in, and immediately casts Globe of Invulnerability. He cannot be targeted by the spells at Euplatious's command!


Euplatious flies up and breaths fire on him, dealing 19 damage!

20/42

JAG casts Mirror Image and eight Images surround him.

Euplatious Flies down and gets ready to attack

JAG opens with a Magic Missie to the face, but Euplatious takes NO damage. The dragon is IMMUNE TO MAGIC! How will JAG kill her? Teh Dragon has two claws and a bite. She connects twice and crunches a pair of Images!

hahahahaha oh dear

*raises hand and shouts like Horshack* Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

If JAG dies, doesss he become a dragon?

Doh!

Does this make anyone here reconsider their spell selection?

let's ask danny! Danny, do you wish you would have taken Featherfall and Jump instead of Sleep and Magic Missile?

JAG grabs his +4 club. This is going to be a long battle. There are rumors that Euplatious has at least 100 hp!

We fast sim this, using random.org.

Five turns


JAG hits twice, and deals 11 damage. Euplatious hits five times, and JAG has one image left.

JAG hits for 7, and Euplatious kills the last image and scratches him for 6 damage.

14/42

Another Mirror Image is summoned. Euplatiuos kills one image - 7 left. JAG quaffs a healing pot. 2 images more destroyed - 5 left. JAG needs to increase his damage output, so he quaffs a Pot of Invis. The creature can;t attack him. He ambushes her! He hits and deals 14 damage. Rar! one more hit - 4 left

He uses Invisibility in the Wizard Staff and does it again, dealing 12 damage. Another Image gone 3 left

39/42

he's dealt 44 damage. Can he keep this up?

JAG adds 6 damage, and Euplatious hits three times and blows through teh last three images. JAG uses his final second rank spell, a third Mirror Image, and she eats one - 7 left

Still a couple tricks left...

I suspect JAG is going to kill him.

Five turns in the future - another fast sim, and JAG rolled 13, 17. 20, 19, and 14 - 5 hits! He smashes Euplatious for 34 damage!

Meanwhile, she hits nine times and hits him twice for 9 damage

30/42

He has no more Mirror Images to hide behind. she's taken 84 damage - is it enough?

But all in all, this is looking like a bad decision.

her

I have faith JAG.

JAG misses. She hits twice foe 12 damage

18/42 - Healing Pot consumed. He takes 9 in one bite - ouch. 34/42

He smashes her for 8 damage. She misses. 92 taken by her. He hits for 7. She hits for 12

22/42

He smashes for 6 damage and....she is still alive? Oh yeah, she was pumped by the Pot of Armageddon! Take another 10!

only if she getsss another breath I think. You probably have more healing pots too. It doesssn't seem to have healing ability.

JAG Quaffs his LAST healing potion

37/44 Euplatious rolls three times and gts - 15 - JAG takes 7 from bite, 19, JAG takes 5 from wing, 1, nothing more. Eat 12 back

25/42

JAG hits for....8 damage. She hits once for 7

18/42

JAG hits for....7. She misses


JAG


Hits for 8, and slays her!!!

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

You gain 25,000 XP, 2000 gold rains from teh sky, exits in all directions


Oh, and everybody sees a super powerful alter in the corner before the sight leaves - JAG, take an action if you want to Pray at the Altar of teh Gods

She seems surprisingly weak, maybe her spells are her big guns and I'm lucky enough to have the Globe for protection. Unless she has more surprises in store.
