Quest For Glory Epic Let's Play Parts 112 and 113: Marcus' Second Fortune and Freeing the Rusalka

In Which Our Hero learns more about his future and defeats Janos' wraith, frees the Rusalka, gets a little action for his troubles and meets the OTHER girl he likes. What a night!







This update contains one of the most memorable scenes in any Quest for Glory game, and it's only available to the Paladin: freeing the Rusalka.

But first, Marcus starts at the gyspy camp, where Magda tells his fortune. This one is about the man from the original fortune: someone who was once powerful, but is now an angry thrall to a Master. A powerful magic user. I wonder who that could be.

After the reading, Marcus fights a couple of monsters and waits for darkness to fall, which isn't long. Then he heads to the graveyard, combines the Rusalka's hair with the hand broom and sweeps Janos' grave with it. Janos isn't too happy at being disturbed, and it's a bitter fight but Marcus prevails. Barely.

Now it's off to the lake, where Marcus must perform one last task to free Elyssa: give her what she desires, which is a kiss. It's a touching scene. He kisses her, and she disappears, free at last.

Back to town where Marcus meets the other woman in his life. Katrina's waiting for him outside the gates. She flirts a little and tells him very little actual information, except that she lives in the castle and shes afraid of her parents finding out about her and Marcus. Which is where we leave off for next time.

Quest For Glory Epic Let's Play Part Eighty-One: The Rusalka

In Which Our Hero meets a really nice girl who wants to murder him.





I'm an insomniac, so my lack of sleep means a bonus video this week!

This one kicks off right where the last one left off: finishing our conversation with Boris, who tells us a very interesting tidbit about a foreigner staying at the castle. He has an odd habit of licking his lips when he talks to you. That sounds awfully familiar...

After taking our leave of Boris and the castle, we roam over scenic Mordavia and find a wandering Necrotaur, whom we make quick work of. Marcus has apparently learned an offensive spell somewhere, as he pounds the shit out of the Necrotaur with a hadooken. Good on him I guess.

Somewhere south of the castle lies a lake. As we approach, a beautiful woman with green hair pops out and invites us for a swim. That seems natural, right? Wrong. We sweeten her up a bit and have a nice conversation with her, where we realize that she's someone we might be able to help in the future. Then she might think of us as more than a friend!

White Knighting for the Rusalka and more in future updates!
