What kind of morals is this game trying to teach our children?

A kobold swings a short sword at you!
You barely manage to fend off the attack with your sledgehammer!
>
A kobold swings a short sword at you!
You move at the last moment to evade the attack!
>
A kobold swings a short sword at itself!
AS: +36 vs DS: +4 with AvD: +40 + d100 roll: +88 = +160
... and hits for 41 points of damage!
Whoosh! Several ribs driven into lungs.
The kobold crumples to a heap on the ground and dies.
The kobold lets loose a ghostly sigh of frustration.

I don't think I've ever seen one hit himself that hard before. Nice hit. Did it Shogun style too.

What makes you think a kobold would know how to commit seppuku correctly? This was the "kobold attempt" at seppuku :tissue:

Ha! I just noticed that. That reminds me of an old log that was supposed to be behind the scenes with the kobolds or some shit. That was pretty funny.

Our adventure with the kobold starts in a familiar place...the kobold village.
Our filming began right at those key words: A kobold ambles in.
[Kobold Village, Hovel]
The walls of this tiny hut are little more than some crooked branches tied together with twine. Why, the builder didn't even bother to pull off the wilted leaves before bundling up the branches into thatch. A strong breeze might collapse the whole place, not that anyone would be likely to notice. A forlorn and threadbare cot is the only furnishing.

You make a low, gutteral noise.
>out
[Kobold Village]
This part of the village is not only shabby, it's boring. Absolutely nothing distinguishes the meritless huts, one from another. The kobolds who live here must shuffle off sadly into the forest each day with little hope of anything interesting in their pathetic lives... unless they are fortunate enough to find an end to their miserable existences at the swordpoint of some Wehnimerian whelp. You also see a javelin, a javelin and a worthless hovel.
Also here: Fakila, Jasperia
Obvious paths: east, northwest.

Fakila says, "There aren't any dang kobolds here!"

Jasperia points at you.

You rasp, "Uh oh"

>

AS: +67 vs DS: +10 with AvD: +30+ d100 roll: +85 = 148
... and hit for 42 points of damage!
Slice to your left fingers.
Nice move.
>
Looks like you have died again... You have a few moments to watch what happens to you.
>
Fakila just skinned you. How rude!
>
Jasperia says, "Nice one"
>
Fakila searches your body. His putrid hands cause you to crumble into dust.
>
Fakila says, "Wotta cheapskate no silvers."
>
You get the peculiar sensation of floating. Slowly a dark blackness surrounds you. When you awake, you are in a very familiar place....
[Kobold Sanctuary, Altar]
Four gray walls surround you, giving you a sense of security. There is a wooden door to your left that seems to beckon you. The only funiture in this room is a large altar right in the middle. Blood and filth stain it after years of constant use. You also see a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, and a kobold.

[Kobold Sanctuary, Lounge]
You enter a ridicously tiny room. Barely four humans could squeeze into it, yet the designers inteded it to fit at least 20 kobolds. As you shove your way into this cramped space, you notice that the way back has immediatly disappeared. You also see a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, and a kobold.

[Kobold Sanctuary, Infirmirary]
The first thing you notice about this room is that it is slightly cleaner then the others. Cleaner meaning that there is no kobold spoor or blood stains on the walls. You still have your regular cockroaches and food waste littered on the ground. The screams of several baby kobold ring the air, making you want to bash em all and put the out of their misery, and the misery that is yet to come. You also see a kobold mama, a kobold mama, a kobold baby, a kobold mama, a kobold baby, a kobold baby, a kobold mama, Stump, a kobold mama, a kobold baby, and a kobold mama.

[Kobold Sanctuary, Teleporation Room]
A pale blue light fills the room. Three transports are the source of this brilliant luminescinse. One is labeled, "Abandoned Village", a second "Kobold Mines" and a third "Hidden Mines". They seem to beckon you in. You also see a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, and a kobold.

The world around you fills with a blue light. When you are able to see again, you are in a different place...
(Still to be continued!)...
[Upper Trollfang]
The path is not well defined as you move along the grassy trail. Tall pines sway with the ocean winds that are so prevalent here. The grass has been trodden upon in different places here confusing the trail. You also see a cudgel.
Obvious paths: north, south, northwest.
>take cudgel
You pick up a cudgel.
>
Dimwin just arrived.
>n
[Upper Trollfang]
This hill crest reveals three routes to follow. You have a choice of continuing upward to the ridge crest, or over a small hill and into a winding run under the ridge, as the trail downward to the south is the final choice. You also see a kobold and a wooden signpost.
Also here: Jeter, Yowassupdude
Obvious paths: south, northeast, northwest.
>
Yowassupdude swings a two handed sword at a kobold!
AS: +0 vs DS: +30 with AvD: +37 + d100 roll: +29 = +27
A clean miss.

... and hits for 100 points of damage!
Wicked slash slices open the kobold's chest!
Heart and lungs pureed!
Sickening!
The kobold falls to the ground and dies.
>groan
You make a low, guttural sound.
>
Yowassupdude searches a kobold.
A kobold decays into compost.

Jeter exclaims, "Hey!"

Jeter just punched Yowassupdude!

[Upper Trollfang]
The steep path makes travel difficult and the sight of not so well balanced boulders on the slopes above you, explains why few travellers pass this way. An iron ring is attached to a rusty spike in the rock face and the shredded remains of a rope dangles from the ring. You also see a dark hole.
Obvious paths: north, southeast.
>go hole
[Upper Trollfang, Gully]
A wide lip of rock rises overhead to provide a place of cool shadows. A thick band of low growing shrubs obscures the far end of the gully. Small straggly bushes are growing over a pair of rust streaks set into the rocky floor.
Also here: Funwidcharlie and Geezen
Obvious exits: out.

Funwidcharlie points at you.

Funwidcharlie says, "LOOK A KOBOLD IS HERE IT'S AN INVASION HELP"

Geezen says, "shaddup, beavis"
>go shadow
[Kobold Mines, Entrance]
This is a wide section of cavern that slopes rapidly downwards into darkness. The rock-strewn floor has been worn smooth by the passing of many feet hauling heavy loads. Several smaller caverns and chambers open up in several directions, but in the uncertain light their contents remain hidden. Twin streaks of rust vanish downslope into the chill and damp air of this benighted domain. You also see a small dark cave and a rusty iron mining cart.
Obvious exits: north, northwest, down, out.
>glance
You nervously dart your eyes about.
>down
[Kobold Mines, Sublevel One]
Several small caverns lead off from this landing. There is a slope running up towards the surface and continuing down into the depths. Rusted iron rails gleam dully in the gloom. A broken ore cart sits to one side where it was apparently abandoned long ago. Smashed chunks of ore and rusted iron litter the floor and there is a tang of metal in the air.
Also here: Lord Thalior
Obvious exits: north, east, up, down.
>
>flail
You claw futily at the air.
>
Thalior grins at you.
>
Thalior gestures and utters a phrase of magic.
>d
[Kobold Mines, Sublevel Two]
The slope is treacherously steep here and your footing threatens to give way and send you sprawling on the rock floor. Several broken shovels and picks are scattered about and one or two ruined iron caps lie, rusting, on the floor. Metal rails in the floor continue both up and down the steep slope, but they also branch and pass through some double doors set into a walled-up cave entrance.
Also here: Supernewbie, Stupidnewbie
Obvious exits: north, south, west, up, down.
Supernewbie exclaims, "LUNCH"
>kill supernewbie
You swing a cudgel at Supernewbie!
AS: +10 vs DS: +24 with AvD: +15 + d100 roll: +11 = 17
A clean miss.
>
Supernewbie swings a drake falchion at you!
AS: +50 vs DS: +10 with AvD: +37 + d100 roll: +22 = +109
... and hit for 4 point of damage!
Swing at your eye but it catches an eyebrow instead!
** Supernewbie's drake falchion flares with a burst of flame! **
... 10 points of damage!
Burst of flames to back toasts skin nicely.
Round time: 5 sec.
>
Stupidnewbie swing a broadsword at you!
AS: +8 vs DS: +10 with AvD: +30 + d100 roll: +93 = 101
... and hit for 1 point of damage!
Weak slash to your right arm.
That doesn't even sting.
>
Looks like you have died again... You have a few moments to watch what happens to you.
>
Stupidnewbie throws back his head and howls!
>
Supernewbie glares at Stupidnewbie.
>
Stupidnewbie searches your body. His putrid hands cause you to crumble into dust.
>
Stupidnewbie discovers your gold box!
>
Stupidnewbie yells "I AM THE MASTER"
>
Supernewbie picks up a gold box.

Back in the day when GS was actually FUN. I mean...its still fun, but there was a goofy enjoyable nature with GS many years ago that has been ruined with nerfing, balance, and lets not forget "more fun, less tedium".

Somewhere there is a log of the beta version of GSIV where people rolled up Jesus, Satan, God, and a couple others...if someone finds/has that log it would be worth reposting, it was fucking hilarious as well.

Someone also had a weapon called "the back of his hand". It was way funnier than it should have been.

Hey, that was me! That made me chuckle more than was appropriate as well. I would see "You swing the back of his hand at xxx!", but everyone else would see "he swings the back of his hand at you" or something like that.

Twilight hall is going to have animate battles this Friday at the landing. At one of our meetings I mentioned a animated Kobold fighting an animated rolton. If I were a betting man I would lay odds that the Kobold would kill itself before the rolton could.

Then it'd be a foursome, and it just woudn't balance right.

Plus, I quit playing quite a while ago.
