Codename: Iceman Let's Play Part Fifteen: Out The Hatch

John Westland goes for a swim.



Alright mateys, it's time to get off this boat. John takes a look around using the Captain's large, shiny shaft (ahem) and spots the harbor and the oil right. He makes a note of the heading and sets off to get his diving gear. A brief tour of the sub later and he's out the hatch, swimming around in the briny deep.

Holy crap the ocean is big and dark and easy to get lost in! (FUCK THE OCEAN!)

John find the oil rig and plants the explosives, then swims off towards the harbor. He uses his awesome KGB whizbang to defuse an electronic field and swims up to find the net dangling in the water. He puts his hard-won bottle in it, then receives the all-clear signal. John hides his motorized diver and comes ashore in sunny Tunisia.

Now it's time to get all spy on this game!

Quest for Glory Epic Let's Play Parts 143 and 144: A Big Basket and Pegasus Quest

In Which Our Hero returns a basket, gives a cat some flowers and enters the arena; and gets a new quest and tries to make it to Science Island.





After the basket fight (heh) Marcus isn't too keen on getting into another scrap with some monsters, so it's back to town and quickly. There, Marcus gives Sarra the basket and receives his reward: another version of the necklace he bought earlier. Sigh. Maybe he can find someone who appreciates jewelry?

Then it's down to the docks (after giving the young Katta some flowers - aren't we sweet?) Marcus needs to go back to the FACS but it's already closed. Everything closes early in Silmaria, which is strange for a resort town. The Dead Parrot is open for business though, so Marcus nips inside and takes a gander at the arena roster. Rather than betting on someone else, he enters himself on Day 5. Mayhaps we can bet on ourselves later then.

Something strange is afoot in the Dead Parrot. There's this dude in a black cloak in the corner, doing his best Strider impression. But this is no ranger: our danger sense is tingling and he's as silent as the grave. Hmm...

Marcus turns in, gets a delightful good night and good morning from Gnome Ann, and is then back in the saddle the next morning. There's a new guy down at the docks: a friendly young sailor named Andre, who says that he is the only fisherman left in Silmaria and that he's willing to take us to other islands. I bet that's going to come in useful very shortly.

On to the FACS. Our favorite morose friend is whining about being old, and mentions how he'd like to taste the waters of the Hippocrene stream again. Hey, if it will shut him up, why not.

Then Marcus heads off to solve the puzzle of science island. Oddly enough, he's stopped not by his lack of brains (hurr) but his lack of throwing - or that I aimed for the wrong place. Either way, we'll get to science island later.
