I always use Dziendobry, but I started with Czesc. So, Trantor, you're saying the armour that the animated armour gives is cursed?

I always thought trolls are green...

These are trolins, not trollls
And Adamo, too many accents and Polish Words

I was replying to something from the last page... I didn't notice there was two pages, so I didn't quote...

"Think of Trolins. Shouldn't they be trolls! "

That happened to me too once. I'm like "What on the earth!?"
But still, they're trolins, not trolls,
hehehehehehe

We all know they are Blue Meanies.

Post by **Ameena** » Sun May 15, 2005 7:09 pm

They're not plain Trolls, they're BLUE Trolls. That makes all the difference!

My favorite monster is probably going to be the Screamer. Because it always reminds me of a tree with green cheese on top.

Post by **PaulH** » Sun May 15, 2005 10:57 pm

I can't say I have witnessed a tree with green cheese on top, but maybe I need to visit Washington (not DC)

We ain't all thick ya know!

Actually there is a Washington in the UK as well near Newcastle.

So many city, state, and province names and country I guess have the same name just somwhere else. Go look in the index of an atlas and see Chile I think.

Dark · Post by **Dark** » Mon May 16, 2005 12:37 am

And this is why I put
Location: USA, Washington (West Coast, not DC which some people in Europe confuse us with)

In my profile

and I can't say I've seen a Cheesy tree but it sounds so cool and edible

ADDF_Toxic · Post by **ADDF_Toxic** » Mon May 16, 2005 2:32 pm

I have seen trees though, they walk around and scream at you...they could be undercover cops if they were real.
And I just realized that this is my 102nd post!!!!

Beholders of course!

What about cauliflower cheese? Isn't that, like, erm...well it should be, like, erm...a flower...with cheese on it, and...erm...extra cauli...because, erm...whatever cauli is...an offshoot of an intelligent breed of dog...so there you are - an intelligent flower with cheese on it!

Ameena, are you talking about screamers still?
Ian, I don't really like those guys. They throw annoying fireballs at you!

Adamo · Post by **Adamo** » Tue May 17, 2005 8:39 am

can someone could count all the votes?

ADDF_Toxic · Post by **ADDF_Toxic** » Tue May 17, 2005 2:46 pm

I tried adding a poll, but I had too many options. Oh, wait, that was on my favourite levels one, but this would have even more options than the level one, so that wouldn't work. But I'll count them up (names taken from the Dungeon Master Adventurer's Handbook)(Points scored in tallies):
Mummies:1
Screamers:1
Rockpiles:
Trolins:
Magenta Worms:
Ghosts:
Giant Wasps:
Swamp Slimes:
Couatls:1
Wizard Eyes:1
Skeletons:
Stone Golems:
Gigglers:
Rusters:
Vexirks:
Pain Rats:
Giant Scorpions:
Water Elementals:
Animated Armours:11
Materializers:
Oitus:
Black Flames:
Demons:
Lord Chaos:
Red Dragon:111

Hello

Hmmm... my favourite creatures in DM are:
- Giant Scorpions (amazing graphics, great sounds, very impressive)
- Couatls (great graphics too, frightening by their speed!)
- Mummies (I can't forget this first encounter!!)
- Red Dragon (What a shock! ^^)
- Lord Chaos ("Hell... this guy is invincible?"... first encounter with the cute horned guy ^^).

The dum-dum of the mummies is the coolest and scariest sound.

The rock piles were nice, never really liked the screamers, and didn't like the blue guys with clubs at all. Hated the snakes, loved the magenta worms even though they always freaked me out.

The dragon was cool, and scary. Hated the wasps. Hated the water puddles. Hated the ghosts. The thieves were cool. Scorpions were 'meh'.

Floating eyes, I love them! They were my favorites until I remembered SKELETONS!!!!!

Damn those skeletons were the coolest ever, the creaking sound... ahhh!!!! superb!

Most of my memories come from when I first started playing this game when I was young. I got up to level 4 (the magenta worm level) and I didn't dare enter the room with the worms in because I was terrified of them! I always used to watch my dad play, and I really enjoyed watching him. There was a real sense of atmosphere when I was that age. I loved it.

That's what I did when I was younger too! It was quite a while before I found dmweb.free.fr when we got there, so I remembered worms just down the stairs. We got to level 6, then the Atari ST started corrupting disks, that's why I have stew now: Atari
S
T
Emulator
Windows.

They ARE Blue Meanies. I don't care what the books call them, or the game calls them, or the Encyclopedia calls them. To me, they always have been and always will be Blue Meanies. But they're not my favorite monsters.

I'd say my favorite would probably be the Screamers. They're just SO stupid. And I love their sound. I look at them and I want to laugh, pat them on the head, and then chop them up into tasty and nutritious broccoflowermelon. Mmm, broccoflowermelon.

As for the dragons and wings, I think any wings they had would have atrophied off because there isn't anywhere for them to fly in the dungeon. I mean, they're in a DUNGEON, for crying out loud. And unlike the couatls, they're very large, meaning that if they extend their neck, they probably brush the top of their heads against the ceiling. No room for flying = no flying = wings have nothing to do. It's probably just as well they don't have wings, otherwise they'd be in constant pain of unused muscles.

ADDF_Toxic · Post by **ADDF_Toxic** » Wed Jun 01, 2005 11:59 pm

Yeah, adaptations

Post by **Ameena** » Thu Jun 02, 2005 7:03 pm

Not only that, but it doesn't have to have wings to be a dragon

Just needs to be so lage is has trouble moving easily over the floor...

ADDF_Toxic · Post by **ADDF_Toxic** » Fri Jun 03, 2005 2:44 pm

Yeah, I don't know which Dragon it is, but my friend did a report on dragons, and one had no wings. And no, it's not the Red Dragon.

Florent · Post by **Florent** » Fri Jun 03, 2005 4:29 pm

Every time I read "blue meanies" I think about this line :

And there goes the Challenger, being chased by the blue blue meanies on wheels. The vicious traffic squad cars are after our lone driver, the last American hero, the electric sitar, the demigod, the super driver of the golden west. Two nasty Nazi cars are close behind the beautiful lone driver. The police numbers are gettin' closer, closer, closer to our soul hero in his soul mobile, yeah baby. They're about to strike, they're gonna get him, smash him, rape the last beautiful free soul on this planet. But, it is written, if the evil spirit arms the tiger with claws, Brahman provideth wings for the dove. Thus spake, the super guru.

Anyone know where it's from ? And don't tell me it's a Guns n' Roses song !

vexirk. of course.

ADDF_Toxic · Post by **ADDF_Toxic** » Tue Jun 07, 2005 3:41 am

These are very interesting. Vexirks aren't too hard, and they leave off items, so I can see why you like them.

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Wed Jun 08, 2005 9:34 am

Vexirks are nastier in Conflux II - dunno if it is because the charatcers start off weaker when meeting them, or because they hit a little harder now. And in CSB they usually blip around or are met in large groups. I miss the simple DM days of single Vexirks you hit and steal their food.
