Quest for Glory Epic Let's Play Parts 159 and 160: Gnome Ann's Blues and Icarus' Wings

In Which Our Hero learns that Ann paid far too much for the Inn and flies like a bird.





This next Rite is going to be a doozy. No matter who we talk to, they all agree on one thing: getting to Hydra is going to be the hard part. I suppose that's a good thing...

Talking to Ann, we learn that she owes a lot of money to someone for the Inn. Who? None other than Ferrari, our old 'friend.' Very interesting. We'll try to help her of course, but Ferrari being Ferrari we might as well be hitting our head against a wall.

We do however have two very interesting conversations with Pholus and the Famous Adventurer. We're reminded of stories of the hero Icarus, who built a pair of wings. I wonder if we could do the same?

In fact - we can. Marcus gets some beeswax, and then makes his way to science island (after a brief interlude where Ferrari confirms that he is, in fact, a complete asshole.) We make ourselves a pair of Icarus wings with the wooden frames on the wall, take off and arrive safely on Hydra. Well, mostly safely - we have to kill a beast that can't be killed. But we'll take care of that next time...
