more KoL

I'm a Level 5 Disco Bandit, which makes me a Beat Snatcher. I'm five moxie short of the 29 I need for the next level.


Equipmently, I've replaced my studded leather boxer shorts with a Frilly Skirt (power 35), and my continuum transfunctioner with a Shiny Ring (+3 to all attributes!).  I've got a Pine-Fresh Air Freshener I can equip instead of my hobo gloves if I need stench resistance instead of stench damage.

I renamed my familiar. Nicolas Ravindran the Mosquito, is 10 lbs with 120 kills. Yesterday he won a scavenger hunt in the Cake-Shaped Arena.

New accomplishments:

• You have built your own Bitchin' Meat Car.
• You have taken care of the rat problem at the Typical Tavern.

And I've passed all the tests of my guild.  Due to a serious cash-flow issue, I haven't bought any new skills, so I still just have the Disco Aerobics I started with.

Cash flow.  Yeah.  So, I spent all my meat on a cocktailcrafting kit. So I've been making cocktails and drinking them, to get more adventures, to smash more barrels, to get more cocktailcrafting ingredients. I smashed 29 barrels today!  Instead of going out adventuring to earn meat so I can take a vacation.  Oh, and then there's the meat I spent in the casino on the slot machines, before I noticed that the machine that takes 5 meat and no adventures doesn't ever seem to pay out more than five meat.  So perhaps I won't do that anymore.

Quests:

• "The Council requires another task of you, Adventurer. You must slay the Boss Bat. He can be found in the deepest part of the Bat Hole, in the Nearby Plains. Slay him, and return to us with proof of your conquest." Currently can't go past the entryway of the Bat Hole in the Nearby Plains due to bat guano stench.
• Somewhere, there's a door to the 8-bit realm. The crackpot mystic gave me a continuum transfunctioner that, when equipped, will let me enter. It's an accessory. The crackpot mystic will assemble things from Pixels.
• I have a Dr. Hobo's map. The Cool Whip extended my reach so I could leap the pit, but now I need something that combines the properties of a knife and a stalk of asparagus.
• I have the Slug Lord's map. I need something to protect myself from the stench before I can head into the immense septic tank.
• I have the Spooky Temple map. There is a patch of loose soil at the base of the too-tall steps.
• I have a bitchin' meatcar. Vacations are expensive, and, remeber that cash-flow problem? 
• The Pretentious Artist wants to paint my portrait, but not until I get less-bland clothes.
• I have a Spooky Sapling from the Spooky Forest.  It wants to grow.
• "We've received news that might be of interest to you, Adventurer. In the Dark and Dank and Sinister Cave, deep beneath the Big Mountains, our agents have detected the presence of a dangerous foe: The Spirit of New Wave." Inside the cave, there is a Lavatory Troll, and I need gravy to get past him. As I'm not a sauceror, I will have to get my gravy some other how.
• I need to neutralize the Goblin King. He's in Cobb's Knob. Both the bean-counters and the concubine goblins there are more than I can handle, so that will have to wait until I'm bigger.  I do have the Cobb's Knob lab key, if I wanted to get myself beat up in the laboratory instead of the harem or the treasury.

Current inventory of booze and cocktail-crafting ingredients:

• bottle of gin
• bottle of vodka (2)
• bottle of tequila
• strawberry wine
• margarita
• vodka martini
• whiskey and soda
• strawberry

When I ran out of adventures today, I had 13 meat and 13 drunken-ness.

Reading this was a bit like the first time I started reading Vurt. You have to just sort of settle down into the meter of the words and it gets very hypnotic. My goodness, I am so tempted to enter this world you describe, but I fear I may forget to go to work, and school and such.
Sounds divine...and mildly addictive. Yum!

One advantage to KoL is that it's deliberately limited -- you only get 40 turns/day (80 on your first day). You can "buy" extra turns by eating food and drinking booze, but booze also makes you drunk and less capable.

Ok, I'm hooked. That 40 turns/day is such a tease, but I'm glad the limitation is there. Thanks for letting me know. Now I've a new thing to do when hanging out online!
