Talk:That's No Bone Moon...

From A KoL Wiki

Got a different message: Your yeti flies down low toward the exhaust port as you begin to empty the masses of photoprotoneutron torpedo-filled crates you have strapped all over your mount. As torpedoes rain down into the trench, the yeti swoops upward and away from the Bonestar, simply from the huge change in weight.

None too soon, either, as just as you reach a minimum safe distance (dot org), a gigantic explosion rocks the battle station, rupturing a gigantic hole in its side and spraying skeletons into the air, to fall screaming into the abyss. Many of them are on fire. It's pretty awesome.

Congratulations, soldier! This'll be a fine feather in your cap!

You lose 100 photoprotoneutron torpedoes. You defeated 154 skeletons--Sel Ibrix 05:14, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

I got the same message when using a full 100 torpedoes - presumably this is the 100 torpedo message?--Hollow49 07:59, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Mine was: You swing Snanklin toward the rear of the gigantic (and presumably fully-operational) battle station, intent on hitting it in its weak point for massive damage. Spotting a trench leading to some sort of exhaust port, you dive in for the attack, and find yourself surrounded by yeti-riding skeleton soldiers that swoop out of the structure in a defensive formation.

Facing overwhelming odds, you prepare to pull out, but a stream of hot taco sauce shoots out from behind you and to the left, taking out one of the skeletons. You turn around, and see a team of yeti-piloting adventurers swooping in to back you up.

"Look at the size of that thing!" shouts one of them.

"Cut the chatter, Red Two. Accelerate to attack speed!" shouts another in response.

"Am I Red Two? I thought I was Gold Three!"

"I'm pretty sure I'm Gold Three," says another pilot, as he takes out several skeletons with a salvo of bottle-rockets from his crossbow.

Leaving them to sort it amongst themselves, you weave through the broken and disarrayed enemy line and dive into the trench.

Walls of bone streak past on either side of you as you cruise toward the exhaust port. You squint at the target, which seems to be no bigger than the rats you used to kill in the tavern basement back home.

"Use the Force, LLamaman58!" an eerie voice whispers into your ear.

"What? Who the heck is that?"

"It's me! Gavin-eri Christensen! Your mentor and ghostly spiritual guide!"

"Never heard of you."

"Look, just dump some torpedoes into that hole, okay?"

You swoop in toward the exhaust port, and open the huge trunk strapped to the back of your yeti. Photoprotoneutron torpedoes pour out of it, filling the end of the trench with fiery explosions.

As you fly away from the Bonestar, you can hear the inner structure being rocked by further explosions from the torpedoes that made it down the tube. Several exterior panels blow off of the surface in gouts of flame, exposing the skeletons within to the vacuum of spa... wait.

Oh well, excellent work all the same, soldier!

You lose 60 photoprotoneutron torpedoes. You defeated 97 skeletons

Same message for 61 missiles & 107 skeletons with skill, sunglasses and cap. Any indication as to whether the different messages are for different numbers of missiles or different number of skeletons? --Hollow49 07:59, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

  • I used up 6 photoprotoneutron torpedoes and killed 9 skeletons. --Yatsufusa 06:08, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

The rates I noticed were approximately as follows: Trench run defeats skeletons at a rate of 1.5X number of photoprotoneutron torpedoes used, Flying inside defeats skeletons at about 1 per 6 points of combat initiative booster currently active, landing inside defeats skeletons at about 1 per 3 points of increased monster level. Does that seem about right to everyone?--Zorkman 06:39, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Landing in Docking Bay is deffinately based on +ML. having +97ml just by plus gear (including familiar equip) i am getting around 43-48 skeleton kills. estimated 1 kill for ever +2ml gear equiped? only thing i dont know about is the 5% more kills for the leather avaitor cap and whatever the passive skeleton skill book gives you.--ceramic windpipe 06:47, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Has anyone tested the name of his ghostly spiritual guide in the Summoning Chamber yet? --Yatsufusa 08:50, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

just tested, nothing --Hrag 08:57, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

I think messages are based off base kills, before kill modifiers. --Raijinili 10:31, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Oh! i'm pretty sure you're right. just confirmed by getting With a clatter of bones and crossbows message with 21 skels killed. --Hrag 11:57, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

38 torpedoes (w/ cap, skill, glasses) = 65 skellies --Hrag 11:54, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
