Title: The Worm Turns (A Worm-based Jag death)
Post by: AshleyB on November 24, 2006, 05:28:00 pm

Just started a new adventurer, an Axeman/Armour user. Went off into the wilderness to see how axes fared against enemies, since I was using Hammers or Wrestling previously, and I came across a Jag.

Great stuff! So, I went to work on the poor beast - but halfway through, my axe got stuck in it!

I tried to pull it out of the creature, but failed. I tried a Get command, and, oddly, I found a Small Worm.

Curious, I picked up the small beast, which automatically put it in my hand. I then went and attacked the Jag... with the worm!

The best part? I'll let the image speak for itself.

:(

For all we know, that could be a gut-dwelling parasitic worm; do not cry for your companion in arms, for he will soon go where all heroic ringworms end up, in the intestinal tracts of Valhalla!

Start a new adventurer, give him 15 levels in wrestling. Go outide and press Shift+L (search IIRC) until you find some small animals, pick one up. Proceed to beat upon the nearest creature and witness the power that is worm, or beetle, or firefly, or butterfly...

i had mud explode a creature from the sheer force of the throw... interestingly enough i think mud is more effective then thrown rocks as a weapon....

I like throwing mud more simply because of the icon and water most because it spins when it flies! Wheee. Kind of why I like weapons too.
