Quest For Glory Epic Let's Play Parts Sixty-Three and Sixty-Four: Jumping the Broom and Married Life

In Which Our Hero gets married. Really. And enjoys his first night as a married man, and goes on an interesting honeymoon.





The first video covers Marcus' marriage, which frankly isn't exactly what he imagined when he was growing up. First, he talks to Yesufu, who reiterates his desire to take the Leopard Lady as his wife. So Marcus, being noble and not at all interested in the very beautiful dark-skinned lady in the cage, goes to the Laibon himself and ponies up for the Bride Price. And just like that, with the exchange of a few zebra skins and some words from the Laibon, Marcus Warwick the Pure is a married man.

OK.

The second video picks up a little after the first, since there's a conversation with Uhura that's supposed to be triggered but doesn't come until the next day. Note: there is a glitch in the game here. Both telling Uhura about the Initiation AND asking her about the gifts SHOULD award us points, and neither do. I have tried every possible work-around for this and cannot get these points. I believe the game glitches in a couple of other places as well, so we will actually finish the game with less than 500 points - but we've done everything required to get the complete 500 points, according to the FAQ. So I apologize in advance for that.

Anyway, Uhura tells us of three gifts: one of friendship, one of beauty, and one of trust. Good thing we've got all three of those: the Leopard carving, some beads, and the fine dagger we bought. We give all three to the prisoner, then release her. And as a reward, she runs off. Awesome.

We nonchalantly make our way out of the village and then run like hell after her. She finds us in the jungle; turns out she's been watching us, too. Hmm. Maybe there is something here after all? We talk to her a lot about why we're there and finally hear the Leopardmen side of the story. According to them, a thief stole their Drum but a Simbani warrior was found dead with the Spear of Death just outside of their village. Marcus may not be an educated man, but these clues are about as obvious as an Antwerp to the face: someone's trying to goad both sides into War. Fair bet it's Rakeesh's Demons.

Next time, we'll see the Leopardman village and initiate a peace conference. I wonder how that will end?
