Chronicles of Krynn MUD

Hobboglin

Our most recent update, current to March 12th, 2024 includes a number of additions and improvments.

First, we’ve implemented a number of new systems that offer additional ways to earn experience, gold and treasure.

Our Missions system allows one to take on bounties to track down fugitives located somewhere along the roadways of the world. Harder difficulties can be taken when working in groups, if desired. Once the bounty is completed, experience, quest points and a random treasure drop will be awarded.

Our Hunts system allows players to track down various dangerous monsters that are found somewhere out on or near the world’s roadways. These hunts are more challenging than normal enemies, and they drop rare crafting materials and hunting trophies. The trophies can be turned in for special weapon oils as well as trinkets (rings, bracers, neckwear, etc.) that offer special benefits, such as detect invisibility, or fire shield. The weapon oils can be applied to a weapon to give it a special ability, such as flame-tongue, defending weapon, even vorpal weapons.

The Encounters system adds a random encounters system when travelling the world’s roadways. There are a number of ways of dealing with these encounters, from diplomacy, intimidation or bribery (if intelligent), escaping or defeating in combat. There is a setting that allows one to avoid or seek out encounters, modifying the chance of coming across one.

We’ve added the hobgoblin and goblin races. Hobgoblins are an evil (usually) race that can benefit members of their party when grouping or using NPC followers. Goblins are effective against enemies that are larger than they are, as well as being able to escape combat situations more effectively than other races.
