Quest For Glory Epic Let's Play Parts 120 and 121: Tanya and Toby and Toby's Sacrifice

In Which Our Hero meets the Innkeeper's daughter and witnesses true sacrifice.







It isn't the finale of the series, or even the game, but this scene is possibly the best-written and most moving in all of Quest for Glory. As such, there isn't a lot of commentary here: I'll let it speak for itself for the most part.

Marcus is back in the castle, basically looting the place. There are a couple of chests, one of which is guarded by a wraith, so there's some fun interior combat. Then Marcus eventually finds what he came for: Tanya, the inkeeper's daughter. She's, um, different.

OK, she's a vampire. And she's guarded by a massive monster.

Showing her the doll from the Domovoi warms her up to Marcus a bit and we're finally able to get her side of the story: overprotective parents and an Aunt Trina who seems to have kidnapped her and kept her as her own child.

Katrina's kind of fucked up, huh?

Marcus then tells Tanya that there's a way to restore her to life: Erana's Staff and the Destiny Spell. He tells her what it entails, and Toby says he understands.

It's off to the Staff, where Toby makes the ultimate sacrifice to save Tanya.

And that's where we pick up next time.

Quest For Glory Epic Let's Play Parts 118 and 119: Marcus' Third Fortune and Castle Borgov

In Which Our Hero learns a little more about his future and breaks into the castle.







The first video in this update covers Marcus' third fortune, where he learns about the mystery woman from the previous visions. She's a magic user, powerful but interested in more power. Her plans are grandiose but will ultimately fail - which may be good, because they are somehow linked to the Dark One as well. Who is this woman?

Marcus also hears about the Destiny Spell - something Erana's staff still contains. It is said that the staff has the power to bring the dead back to life, and that a loved one will bring a dead person before the staff to trade his (or her) life for the dead person's. Apparently no one has taken the staff up on the offer though, as it still stands in the center of town.

Then Marcus rests up for his big night ahead, then goes to the cemetery where he, ahem, enters the Borgov family crypt. A brief and obvious puzzle later and he's in the castle, where he is privy to a very interesting conversation between someone with crazy hair and..

Oh no...

Can it be?

Ad Avis.

That must be the foreigner in the funny hat.

Shit just got real, yo.
