Arena: that carrion worm (kind of long) From: bill@rses.vuw.ac.nz (Bill Viggers) Date: Thu, 07 Dec 1995 00:00:00 +0000 Well, the Carrion Worm is the deadliest monster discovered so far, killing off Fury (who himself had the most kills in the Boris kill chart...) Fury was slightly wounded in his weapon arm to start the combat and still had a small bleeding cut from a nasty encounter with a giant sewer rat a couple of nights before. For the enlightenment and warning of all who crawl the sewers of the Imperial City I present the demise of Fury, expert with the two handed sword and all round killing machine. Things to notice: The worm is _tough_ despite a number of very heavy blows it didn't ever look in trouble. The worm has at least TWO attacks, a bite and a stinger on it's tail. The stinger causes bleeding from even a minor wound. It has a fair amount of stamina but not a huge quantity, looking at Fury gasping for breath (he had a + to vigor in his torso) the carrion worm didn't do anything then either. So it recovers stamina at a reasonable rate. It's defences arn't great, it just takes an awful lot to kill. It's offences are pretty impressive however. Anyone who really wants to kill it is probably best attacking it with a large group to tire it out so that it doesn't have enough energy to attack with. If anyone is keen on killing it send me some email and maybe we can work out some kind of combined operation. The fight: Round: 1. Blood is leaking from Fury's weapon arm. The carrion worm bites.
