Posted September 23, 2020 Today the randomizer dropped me off on Xanadu in an active village with Clifford, Melloyello, and Strawberrieluvsu They would need to face 4 random challenges! Challenge #1 Find Enki within 1 minute! Clifford won when he found me hiding among at stack of crates as a crate! He won a supreme steel pickaxe Challenge #2 What is the newest PvP island called? Melloyello responded immediately with the correct answer. Melloyello receives a rare oakenwood longbow. Challenge #3 What special event occurred in Discord recently? They correctly answered! https://discordapp.com/channels/202801255024689153/203222508936101888/757442019743367307 Our server became an official partner with Discord. Challenge #4 They chose the animal theme. tsk...they should have chosen Stargate... Survive 6 waves of natures most visciously inhumane creatures! Wave 1. The Common House Cat x30 They now have enough house cat fur to make several winter coats! Wave 2. - The Rabid Koalas x50 Great challenge! The Rabid Koala's are really working these guys over! 20 minutes into the wave and its really exciting with lots of death! ~40 minutes Rabid Koala's +5(including guards) Clifford dead -2 2 new contestants joined in on Wave 3! Arize and Kgorski Wave 3. Marsh Toads x60 poor deed guard The participants all seem to be doing well.... perhaps too well Wave 4. Gerbils x70 Okay... will return the remaining gerbils to the pet store.... totally useless in battle! Ooh Correction! Gerbils +2(including guards) Strawberriesluvsu -1 Wave 5. Caterpillar x30 I'm disappointed..... I always had a tough time fighting these things and they are making mince meat out of these creatures! Well this ain't much fun! Wave 6. The Pet Shop staff and guards! I can't believe how easy they killed off the pet shop team. Then I realized the guard worms were not attacking! Lazy things! Oh well, They won a nice assortment of random stuff including sand, dirt, a stool, food, and an assortment of randomness to split up! But because they did die during the final challenge, the Glimmersteel Mirror Portal to their own private fully stocked castle with working Eyes of Sauron guard towers is off the table. Too bad too, I hear the spas there are the best! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 20, 2020 It's that time again! Seems like it has been ages since I antago.. I mean surprised some one with some unexpected fun. Lets see where the Randomizer wants to send me today on the eighty-first of October. (spins the wheel) Ooh, nice... Celebration it is. And it looks like Demonix, Madnath, and Silakka are the targets for this month. They must face 3 random challenges! Challenge #1 A Riddle. A head I have, but no body. I provide a glowing perspective. What am I? Madnath came up with Lamp and is correct! Challenge #2 Waht Starfall are we in? Madnath looked at his wrist sundial and replied with Bear's. Which is correct! Challenge #3 <Madnath> The last time you came here, you dunked a valrei mob on us that we nuked incredibly fast. If you're dropping mobs again.... let's make it a tough one? <Demonix> jeez madnath, just ask him to smite you why dont you <Demonix> DONT YOU GO IN YOUR HOUSE AFTER SAYING THAT! GET BACK HERE! Today's creature them is based on Spielberg's best and most famous works. Round 1 - Wakko! 20 Champion Wakko's entered the field ready to eat everything not nailed down. Madnath was already at half health by the time I finished writing the above sentence. Wakko must have been in need of some more doughnuts because he lacked the energy to finish Madnath off, but I do believe Demonix ended up having to spend a few moments watching their life flash before their eyes. Roud 2 - Yakko! 30 Sly Yakko's entered the fray and .. <Silakka> oh man <Madnath> oh lord <Enki> Let Yacko have a whack <Madnath> this is gonna be rough <Madnath> I wish I kept up shield training now <Silakka> do you regret asking for harder mobs now <Madnath> yes Demonix is the only one close to living while Silakka and Madnath are getting acquainted with death. (It does amuse me watching their health draw down steadily. Gives the scene a nice bit of xmas colors) Dang it! They all survived! Round 3 - Rita and Runt. Well that wasn't very sporting. Runt was of no help to Rita at all. Final Round. Dot was off today so she asked me to find a suitable stand in. The Brain and Pinky were eager to give it a whirl but Pinky only agreed if Pharfignewton could join in. Who was I to argue. <Madnath> oh god NOT NOGUMPS AAAAAAAAA <Silakka> if one of them steals your armor you're gonna instadie lol <Madnath> im about to drop already <Madnath> omfg it took my seryll ring and damaged it <Silakka> rekt The group invited their own private militia (i.e. 1 worg) but with the Brain's leadership the three and their worg were doomed! (so I had hoped) In fact I was very surprised by Pharfignewton's stellar performance! In the middle of the melee I had to leave, much to my dismay, and upon my return I found all three still alive, much to my dismay, and Brain's forces demolished. As Brain and Pinky dusted themselves off and left, I overheard them mention something about planning something for tomorrow night, so I took them off the roster for the next event. Well, it was a valiant effort, Demonix, Madnath, and Silakka won the whole kit and kaboodle. They won a golden statuette of Fo, along with a Raft of Supreme river rafting complete with emergency pumpkin seeds and also a Rare cauldron filled with sea rations! Unfortunately the super rare Shovel of Resurrection was awarded at the Lunalong. With it you can raise the dead and party like its 1099! This has been another Random Enkounter brought to you by the folks at Happy Hills General Mercantile. If you need a plow shear or bolt of cloth delivered quickly, order this month and the folks at Happy Hills General Mercantile will guarantee delivery by next spring or the shipping will not be added to your tab. That's Happy Hills General Mercantile for all your settler needs. Keep an eye on the horizon as the next Random Enkounter will arrive sometime between November fiftieth thru the sixty-first! 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wave 1 - 12 Cylon Centurions Oh I wish you could see this...... It was going so badly for Williamwierd that I decided to give him a tip. [14:59:54] <Enki> TIP: You can use any tactic or forfeit and flee Oh what a tragedy.... I told the rest of the cylons just to start invading as there was no hope here. I could not stop laughing... Sorry about that Williamwierd, but as it is the holiday season I did at least save the horse from them/ Wait..what's this.... some life left in Williamwierd.... He worked on pumping enough blood back into his veins that he could stay in the saddle a little longer. Yet not a single Centurion had fallen. !!!!! 4 Centurions dead.... what is happening! All of a sudden we have a fight! 8 dead! 12 dead! What a turnaround for Williamwierd! But wait, a Cython has appeared.... and I did not invite it! Williamwierd wins! For his effort 4 supreme large pizzas, a rare statue of a girl, and a rare cloth barding. Oh if only you could have witnessed this in person!!!! Until the next Enkounter sometime in late December! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 30, 2020 Today, the final day of one of the single most infuriatingly horrible years the world at large has known in a long time, I attempted the final Random Enkounter of the year. Xanadu was the chosen server, and when I landed I was on a highway with a guy on horseback just trotting by. I shouted out my customary greeting "Greetings!" and .... nothing.... he just mosied on by and left the area 😥 Always be on the lookout in the coming year for more great games like Battle Checkers! and more fantastical prizes as I randomly surprise people. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
