Quest for Glory Epic Let's Play Part 137: Adventure Island

In Which Our Hero meets Toro, who he once killed. Or at least put on death's door. Good thing bygones are bygones!



This update contains three conversations of varying writing quality and informational value. For the first, we join Marcus in the adventurer's guild, where he works out a bit and meets the guildmaster who turns out to be none other than Toro, the minotaur Marcus nearly killed (he was just, um, unconscious) in Hero's Quest. Chatting with Toro for a bit, we learn he came to Silmaria with Elsa and was given the job of guildmaster. Apparently there's also some rich man following Elsa around and Barnard is now the 'Boss' of Spielburg, which makes Marcus wonder what happened to the Baron.

When he's done Marcus heads outside for his second conversation with Pholus, the centaur weaponsmith. Pholus is bad all around: bad attitude, badly written dialogue, bad voice acting. If you can ignore him, do it. Seriously it's painful.

The Marcus comes full circle back to the marketplace (missing the Famous Adventurer's Correspondence School, which we'll do in the future - doh!) to talk to Marrak, the Katta food merchant. Marrak may actually be the most helpful and unbiased character Marcus has spoken to so far, and he gives Marcus some good information about the city - but nothing we didn't already know.

This is it - the end of Hero's Quest / Quest for Glory 1. It's off to the secret entrance to the Brigand Fortress and Fred the Troll, who we kill for his treasure. Then we face Toro the minotaur (and take a dive) before running through the brigand's funhouse and meeting Yorick, the Brigand Warlock.

In Part Two we take care of the last two orders of business - defeating the brigand leader and rescuing Elsa Von Spielburg - who by now you should recognize as the same person. A quick exit from the fortress and we're off to rid the valley of Baba Yaga (who we'll meet again in Quest for Glory 4). All we have to do is use that mirror we picked up to bounce her spell back to her and - that's it - game over!

Part Three is the endgame ceremony where the entire town turns out (except for Bruno who seems strangely absent - he's probably off looting the now-empty town) and where Toro the Minotaur makes his last appearance before Quest for Glory 5.

And that's it - 500/500 points, and it's time to import Marcus to Quest for Glory 2!
