Quest for Glory Epic Let's Play Part 141: The Ring of Truth

In Which Our Hero discusses Truth with Rakeesh and plants with some hippies.



Ah Silmaria. A lovely city populated mostly by characters from other Quest for Glory games. This update, we'll spend a lot of time with three such characters.

Marcus starts this movie in the Apothecary with Salim and Julanar. Salim is very, ahem, laid back, but Julanar.. she needs a new scriptwriter. The actress does the best she can but the original material isn't all that great to begin with. Kind of sad.

They talk about how Salim went to Shapeir and met Julanar by camping out in the desert and giving her 'hugs.' Marcus smiles and nods politely, buys some pills and then heads off to Nob Hill to meet Rakeesh.

Rakeesh wants to give Marcus Soulforge, but Marcus has Piotyr's sword so there's no need. Rakeesh also gives Marcus the Katta's pin back, which is pretty cool even if it doesn't really serve a purpose in this game. He then explains to Marcus a little more about the situation in Silmaria and about something called the Ring of Truth, a glorified lie detector that will help Marcus and Rakeesh figure out what the hell is going on here. Lucky us!

This video covers most of the rest of our trip through the Tarna bazaar, buying various things. Daggers, spears, honey, junk, beads, and a leopard carving. All of which will come in useful later in the game.

There is relatively little commentary in this update, mostly because there's a lot of dialogue.

Back at the old Katta's Tail we wipe the sleep from our eyes to find out that yet another elemental is raging around - this time the Water Elemental, Shapeir's final doom. So it's off to Aziza's to learn about how to defeat the Watery Tart, which isn't really much of a stretch - we've got the opposing element sitting in a bellows anyway.

For being a final doom it doesn't take long to put the Water Elemental away in a waterskin - although you can enjoy the fine death our Hero makes as he gets to close and receives the kiss of his life.

Back to the Katta's Tail again where we're still sleeping to pass time - until the next day, when we get our last 'note' with 'orders.' Time to find out what all this business is.

Turns out it was the EOF, who have been watching Marcus and think he's member material. Well, they're right: we are just that bad-assed. But we're better than that because we refuse to kill a helpless opponent, which earns us their ire but they still make us a Brother Saurus. Gotta take what you can get, I suppose.

Next morning, after getting hammered with our new friends, we roll out of bed and go practice with a new opponent in the guild - Rakeesh. He gives us some helpful pointers about how to fight with Honor. Then it's on to Aziza's, where we learn the truth behind an old loyal (if slightly cowardly) friend. It turns out the Emir of Raseir has been in Shapeir this entire time.

That night Omar raps one last time and gives us our last reward, and we're off to Raseir in a long and entertaining cut-scene which I step out of as narrator so you can enjoy it in all its various degrees of hilarity.

Raseir itself is a shithole. We meet Wilmer and Signor Ferrari, who seems to kind of be the de facto leader of the underworld - and a very dead parrot, who is leader of nothing in particular. We then spend way too much time wandering around Raseir getting a feel for the city

Next time: we're going to meet a very nice girl and make a very special new friend!
