Howdy All,

Pull up to the bar, grab a drink and settle on down by the fire. This is the place to recall all the historic battles that have taken place in undermountain.

If you have any funny stories (Cloudy & Stormy I'm looking at you eating brownies) Epic battles, screenshots of the fallen then this is the place to tell the tale.

I know there have been some truley epic battles below the Yawning Portal so come one come all and share your stories!

Cheers!

Me? *looks innocent* you guys are the ones who took it out of context..... I just said I was eating a brownie at the moment...

And who was your running buddy at the time.... My Brownie Narwen LOL

I had tears when I read that.

well, if you had not of said what you said, things might not have been so funny ;) my husband thought I had lost my mind when I started laughing so hard :D

I would post what was said for those who want to know...but I think it might be a little adulterated....

Well if you have the log of the conversationthen by all means post it. That is what this place is for. For funny undermountain stories.

I don't have the log, just remember what was said, because I still laugh about it.


Bubbles> are you warm and gooey
Loriet> you know it is funny, I am eating a brownie right now...
Narwen> you know I came.....

Close enough.. LOL! I asked if Narwen was a 'warm and gooey type of brownie' a minute before Stormy said she was eating a brownie and a split second later TDC typed "I came..." as part of his quote of Animal and Caesar..... of course he was refering to 'I came, I saw, I kicked butt" or some such thing... and didn't see our posts while he was typing in his.... but the timing was hilarious!

Ahhh good stuff. Definatly gave me a good chuckle.

Also the Bash Brothers were reunited for a short time in Undermountain yesterday. Ta'Rant hellforge and Godisnak stomped the Pit together for old times sake.

I do not know how Undermountains foundations withstood the pressure of those two egos!

he was too busy laying the smackdown on the Shadow dragon to see what we said :D *walks out in tears again*

I was too busy saving your ass! Thats why i could not see the conversation.

My poor little brownie saving two helpless halflings and kicking some shadow dragon ass all over level 12.

hey, I was trying help the other halfling and ran out of spells that worked, and my little Loriet just could not get a clear hit at his toes ;)

<font color=skyblue>One of the adventures that I can never forget was long long ago, when level 10 had not even been dug out all the way, and level 11 was in the planning stages.

I do not even remember who I was travelling with, but there we were on level 9, facing the Big Red. Nothing I had would injure the beast at all, nor could my two companions. We were sitting there, stuck with no chance to escape nor move onward, toward the place where the portal would be built later. There was one chance. A guy that had travelled with us eariler and had signed off on a eariler level had just signed back on and was far behind us. There was nothing to do but wait for him to save us. We kept yelling at him to hurry, and he tried to get there as fast as he could. When he finally got there, he helped defeat the dragon and move us onward.

It is hard to forget that one.</font>

Larry, that's what I like about Undermountain..someone always there to lend a hand!

I had Amarylis, my ranger/aa out and about one evening and ended up in the storerooms in skullport. I accidentally landed her down with the Lizardmen and she died about as fast as they could look at her.. several times! I'd read that there was a secret, one way door to level 10 and I was sure I'd just found it.
So I left her dead a few minutes, trying to figure out what to do- whether to keep letting her die or just quit and come back with another character. Amarylis was my highest level pc and she was probably only in the teens somewhere (I'm not sure if she was higher than 14? 15? or so at the time) when she landed there.

Well, I respawned her and saw the portal... OH JOY, I thought.. there IS a way out! And promptly leaped from the frying pan into the level 10 fire! LOL About that time, I realized that the portal I'd just gone through was the 'point of no return' portal! LOL!

Animal's Nadril shouted hi to everyone and asked where people were in the Undermountain, so after respawing poor Amarylis a few more times, I shouted out that I was dying in the level after the Lizardman area where I'd fallen by mistake. He came down and we fought our way back up to earlier levels ( I recall some nasty bone golems or skeletons of some sort.. they didn't go down easily!).

Most memorable of this event was fighting the top wizard of level 4....oh my.. now THAT was a tough fight! Amarylis used most of her wands and potions and scrolls, died a few times and ended up dropping her bow when picking up loot...so I ran back to find the bow and guess who'd respawned? And guess what silly ranger waltzed up and tweaked the High Mucky Muck's nose without realizing that if she spoke to him she'd be in trouble? Yup... you got it.. my Amarylis... and poor Nadril came back to fight that fight all over again with her!

I still remember the reluctant heroes of lvl 8, when some uber guy found out he couldn't whip the green, and led her out of the stump?, or tower she lived in, and released her onto lvl 8. We had just decided that we weren't going to fight her, and were heading for the portal to lvl 9, and came around the last corner, and there she was, none too happy about being lost in the woods. This was the same time that we learned that haste or no haste, chars with little stubby legs can't out run dragons. We also learned that if they can see you, they will keep trying to get you, even if they don't fit through the path you took, and that it takes a lot of arrows to kill dragons, even with an aa. We died many times, until we got into the raksasha corner, and she couldn't get to us, then it was the shoot until your arms were lead, trying to kill her time. Good thing for us that she'd previously used up her heals, and after what seemed like an hour, she finally died. It was both our finest, and most shocking moment, at the same time. I know my jaw hit the key board when we walked around the corner, and there was the green.

I have told this story before and it always makes me laugh back in Undermountain BSV (Before Server Vault) I was taking my dwarven defender for a stroll around level 12. All of a sudden I heard curses and shouts comming from the Cult of the Dragon cave.

I stumbled across a lone warrior whose armour and sword must have been given to him by the gods (think UBER) his sword had the ability to suck the life out of anyone it touched (think on hit: harm)

He just happened to be fighting the dracolich on that level and for some reason he could not kill it with his god given weapons.

It turns out that his on hit Harm spell was healing the dracolich everytime it was hit.

I fell to the floor laughing as this fool was cursing that this server was unfair and doesn't play by the rules and it just plain sucks.

Almost the funniest moment for me in Undermountain. The funniest being the brownie incident (as it shall now be called)

I remember recently (my first character I think) decided to try for level 12, and Animal was down there somewhere, I saw this hallway, and decided to go down it, well, all of a sudden it got pitch black, and she was falling over dead in seconds, and I could not find what was hitting me. well about that time I dropped my axe that someone gave me, and no longer had any weapons to fight with, all I could do was shout out a few curse words as I fell. Animal niceness that he is, came to my rescue...then the smart person that she was, decided to go into a cave....well needless to say poor Animal spent the entire night saving her rear :D

We could ask Larry about some of those rescue stories, back when lvl 10 was still *shiny? new*, and before you had to have a key to take the shortcuts. Have seen a lot of dead people back in the local vault days, mostly me dead, currently, but I'm sure that will eventually change, as I have time between building, and dm responsibilities. The one thing that I've noticed hasn't changed, and this has been commented on before, is the team work, and not just with IW members either, I've met lots of interesting people crawling through those dungeons. Still play in other worlds with some of them, and it's great that these servers can bring so many diverse people together, as a team!

Been involved in many a mission to rescue the damsel in distress [img]smile.gif[/img]

Scooping Stormy's shield from underneath her in the Lake of Shadows was quite funny (at least from my point of view)

Standing in the middle of the Inn while in Dragon form to see what kind of a reaction you can get from someone walking into the Inn. I'm pretty sure a couple of low level, newer players soiled themselves :D

Deciding to attack the first Drow guard I came upon on my first trip to level 13. You'd be surprised at just how many drow are actually down there.

Leading one of the tougher drow out of the proving grounds into the temple on 13, having him attack Stormy and then leaving.

Although I didn't personally see it, Cloudy was wandering around with a naked guy for a while. That seemed to start a streaking session at Durnan's

The foray into the Trollbark Dungeon with rattler was great. We figured divide and conquer, so we split the room into two and tore it apart. Definately the toughest battle I've been in.

Godisnak and Ta'rant running amok through level 12. We layed some serious smack down!

The famous encounter with Big Red on 10 was great, teamwork at it's finest.

I don't remember who fed Choc the catnip in the Inn, but that was quite funny.

The list goes on...

maybe you thought it was funny, but I killed the dang thing with no help from you..oh and I thought you said Vindel let him out....now I find out the truth......

LOL, yes, well, I remember being a bit surprised to see the ranger had removed all his clothes.. oh he SAID the rustmonster did it... but I thought rangers wore leather and cloth..... ;) I think he had the hots for my pc. ;) HAHAHA... Undermountain, gotta love it!

I just bought NWN Platinum, installed everything and decided to try Undermountain for my first online game.

I created a character and following instructions asked Durnan to level me up to 7. I didn't know he also gave you 100000 gp as well as experience.

I only had my starting gear when a group asked me to join them to go down to the third or fourth level. I got separated from the party in the Secret Passage and was ambushed by slimes and spiders. I had no blunt weapons to attack with; only my greatsword which gave the message "weapon ineffective" all the time. Dying and respawning constantly I called for help. Finally the mage came back and rescued me.

Can you picture a hefty half-orc fighter cowering behind a mage smiting slimes with her quarterstaff? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I makes me chuckle just thinking of it.

Man now Im going to have clean all that dragon poo off the floor LOL.

Nice Work on the shifters Animal!

Yeah, and Durnan is FIRE MAD at all those poop stained carpets! He made misty clean them! [img]smile.gif[/img]

My my...what ...big...dragons...you have... ;)

ROTFL! Awwww,Z, I Thought that Brownie of TDC's was on clean-up duty? :D *giggle*

It would be a bit hard for Narwen to clean up that since the poo is probably bigger than her!

Being that it's Christmas time, we left presents for everybody! :D
