Quest for Glory Epic Let's Play Part Ten: Dancing With Myself

Video With Subtitles



So what you didn't see is me continuing to throw rocks, then wandering offscreen and tossing them at the air because it's much faster to grind your skill up that way (you don't have to wait for the plants), then coming back and nailing the seed. Take note: I ground that fucker up to 100 and STILL missed the seed the first throw.

And after that, it's back to the kobold cave (thank you Integral Catculus!) where we trip over the chest, open it the Marcus way (with our head), then run off to the healers to stock up a bit. It's going to be a long night.

Then it's onto the Dryad's Den so we can drop off this stupid seed and learn about the Dispel Potion, which we'll need to break the curse. A little rest later and it's nightfall. Time to go looking for some trouble.

And we find... psychedelic lights. Fairies. And what do they want to do? Dance. By the way, I apologize - the Pink on Pink fairy's text is impossible to read. There's no real exposition in it, but GV's dumb compression apparently thought it could blur it so badly as to be illegible. Sorry 'bout that!

So we dance with the fairies, then get some of their dust, then walk north where we're attacked by a flying manta ray. Which we handily dispatch. I think it's time we found some more difficult monsters to fight, eh?

Quest for Glory Epic Let's Play Part Seven: First Step to Becoming a Hero

Video With Subtitles



After killing that last Brigand we face a rather heroic case of ennui - what are we going to do today? We've crossed many of the smaller questlike items off the list already, so maybe we should accomplish something big. Something that will put a lot of money in our purse and boost our ego a bit.

Let's rescue the Baronet!

North to the Ogre cave, where his massive corpse has somehow mysteriously disappeared. Inside the cave is a massive bear, which is easily placated by speaking the universal tongue: food. After that it's a fight with the kobold that damn near didn't end well for us (I was going to save/restore if I died for our first ACTUAL DEATH but turns out I didn't have to.)

Then we rescue the baronet and it's on to meet the big man himself, who we grill for information and fills us in on the back story behind the curse on the valley, his missing daughter and Baba Yaga. Then it's up and at 'em, a little honest work and another round with the weapons master.

In the next part, we meet Baba Yaga herself!
