Quest for Glory Epic Let's Play Part 154: The Rite of Freedom

In Which Our Hero frees the last of the five villages.



We find Marcus after a bit of offscreen action where he took care of liberating the other three villages. At the start of this video, he's standing in front of Naxos, night has fallen, he's laden down with loot and ready to kick some more ass.

He runs in Marcus style, hacking and slashing his way through mountains of enemies until he makes his way to the boss house where he makes quick work of the mercenaries inside before grabbing the last sigil and liberating the final fishing village from the clutches of the invaders.

Booyah!

Marcus then swings by the dragon pillar outside of Silmaria. Bad news: Kokeeno is there dead, lying facedown in a pool of his own blood (and without any good loot.) Worse news: the dragon pillar is cracked. I'm guessing that's definitely not a good thing.

Marcus runs back to Silmaria and tells the city guard about Kokeeno's death. They promise to recover the body and investigate. Then Marcus starts the long, arduous and profitable process of selling the giant mountain of loot he's acquired and depositing it in the bank.

A hero's life is hard sometimes.

Quest for Glory Epic Let's Play Part 152: The Rites of Rulership

In Which Our Hero enters the Rites of Rulership to become King of Silmaria.



It's a sunny, beautiful Silmarian day. The birds are singing. The world is a stunningly rendered 640x480. You know what? It's time to become a King.

Marcus takes a nice leisurely walk to the bank, where he transfers a good deal of his loot into the royal treasury to compete in... The Rites of Rulership! Then he ambles up to the Hall of Kings where the official kicking-off ceremony takes place. He meets the other competitors: a lovely German lass named Elsa Von Spielburg, whom Marcus already knows; Kokeeno the guard; Gort the, um, Gort; and Magnum Opus, the Roman. Magnum may have one of the best names in the game, lame as it may be. Together they make five contenders for the throne!

Their first quest, they discover, is to liberate the fishing villages around Silmaria from the Hesparian mercenary invaders. Marcus draws Naxos, a small village to the south. First one back with their village's sigil is the winner. Of course there's nothing preventing Marcus from liberating those other villages while he's at it. And there's probably some good loot in them...

That's for next update.

First, Marcus visits his new friend Andre, who confides in Marcus that he's not happy being a fisherman. He'd rather be a Healer in fact. Marcus scratches his rock-hard noggin for a moment and thinks, hey, I know a Healer!

And we'll pick up there next time!

Quest for Glory Epic Let's Play Part 151: The Arena

In Which Our Hero wins his first battle in the Arena.



We kick off this video with Marcus delivering the Pepperoni and Jalapeno pizza to Dr. Mobius, then taking off for his big night: his debut in the Arena. He arrives and a very helpful guard tells him to 'go fight.' Kokeeno, the local champion, wishes Marcus well. Good thing Kokeeno is a good sport.

The fight is over barely after it begins. Ferrari introduces both Kokeenu and Marcus, and they draw and have at it. It takes Marcus about five blows to put Kokeeno on the ground, and a nice bit of money is now his for the taking. Nice work, Marcus.

The rest of the video is the standard go-to-the-inn-and-sleep-and-eat sequence, because tomorrow (and the next update) Marcus begins the Rites of Rulership - to become King of Silmaria!
