In Which Our Hero receives a king's ring and takes out a bunch of goons. LOL goons.
Right, that Ring of Truth. The first component is right around the corner in the Hall of Kings. As Rakeesh promised, Logos is expecting us. And somehow Rakeesh has managed to teleport there first. How did he manage that?? It is a mystery.
Logos takes a little convincing but he finally gives up the Ring of Justinian, which we shall reforge into our Ring of Truth after jumping through some other hoops.
Now on to some quests! Some of which may actually involve glory! Remember the quest board? Something about a lost basket? That's the easy (ha) quest so we'll do it first.
Outside of Silmaria Marcus wanders around Marete, looking for a likely beach. While he's wandering he's beset by four Goons - fat ugly people with green skin and long hair. He draws his sword, fights and...
Dies??
Luckily we saved. Whew. A slightly different approach to combat is required here, so Marcus is more cautious on his second go-round and manages to handily defeat the Goons. Then he takes a quick dip in the ocean before swimming back to shore and grabbing the basket, which is where next video picks up.

Quest For Glory Epic Let's Play Parts 110 and 111: Elderberry Pie and Good Humor Bar
In Which Our Hero bakes Baba Yaga a pie and escapes from Baba's clutches with a new sensahuma.
Marcus starts off this series with a set of stunning deaths in the swamp. One of them is mere seconds after I decided to be smart and save, which just goes to show the old adage of adventure games: SAVE OFTEN.
Out of the swamp and it's time to make Baba's pie. We've already got the first ingredient and the second one is right around the corner, so we pick up yet another vial of Grue Goo. Next stop: the Elderberry Bush. It's a bush. With eyes. And tentacles. A veritable Cthulhu bush it is.
It's not hard to get the berries. A couple of well-thrown rocks knock a branch off, and our Monkey Island item acts as a fine bait. Bam, the berries are ours. We've got ourselves a pie.
Back at Babas, we mix the berries, goo and bonemeal together (after remembering where we left it and figuring out how to get it out.) The pie is cooked by the skulls and it's off to present it to Baba.
She's happy to take it, after a brief bout as a hedgehog we're happy to give it and get the hell out of there.
The second video is a little short, as the next update will have another fortune, which is long.

Quest For Glory Epic Let's Play Parts 108 and 109: Saving Elyssa and The Mad Monk's Tomb
In Which Our Hero begins the process to save the Rusalka and deftly avoids Error 52.
Okie dokie. Picking up outside of Baba Yaga's hut, Marcus thinks about what he needs for the pie. Flour for the crust. Where can he get that? Right, the giant mortar and pestle that Babs uses to fly. Well, it just so happens that you can also use a mortar and pestle to grind things like bones. Bones make a fine flour for pie crust.
He's got none of the other ingredients though so it's off to do more damage around Mordavia. First stop: the Leshy. Marcus gets the last riddles out of the way, and the next time he visits the Leshy he'll actually be able to resolve that subplot. Yeah.
Then it's back to the lake to see the Rusalka. She's not quite sure why Piotyr wants her saved, but hey, an evil lake spirit isn't likely to understand the reasoning of a Paladin ghost. But she seems game. So it's off to the cemetery to discover her real name: Elyssa. And her old boyfriend was Janos. He's a bit of a douchebag. We'll meet him later.
Marcus runs back to tell her her real name, and she says that indeed Janos was a real douchebag. Marcus wasn't around to white knight then but he sure is now, and Elyssa needs a white knight. She even gives Marcus a piece of her hair so he can complete the ritual he learned from the gyspies.
Which he'll do after dark, and while he's down in this neck of the woods he might as well head into the swamp after one of the last rituals. A while later, slogging through mud and dead people, he reaches the Mad Monk's tomb and sees two Chernovy wizards guarding it. They are some ugly motherfuckers. A little Marcus magic later and they're sucking swamp and he's taking the ritual and going home.
Until he dies.
Well, fuck.
