Quest For Glory Epic Let's Play Parts One Hundred and 101: Saving Igor and The Lovers

In Which Our Hero solves the crime, saves the gravedigger and the gypsy; and reunites Boris and Olga.







Marcus' big day continues. We go into Dr. Cranium's lab looking for Igor and instead find that the doctor has sinned against nature - and apparently intends to do so again that night, and several nights thereafter. Maybe it's best that we as a Paladin don't get too involved in this little... um... affair.

Igor's not at Cranium's and he's not in front of the monastery. Maybe he's at the graveyard? Marcus rolls out of town and takes the opportunity to swing by Boris' to deliver Olga's latest message. Fun.

In the graveyard there's an awful groaning noise coming from one of the graves! Hands on his sword, Marcus pushes the fallen gravestone aside to find...

Well, what did you think? It's Igor of course, who runs back to town after expressing his gratitude that Marcus freed him.

Back in town, Marcus finds that the gypsy has been set free and everything seems to be on its way back to normal. Olga has another message for Boris, which Marcus delivers. And Boris finally admits he will go see Olga. Looks like those two are on the mend.

A brief wait later and night falls. We're going to go see a couple of friends, but first we head back to the swamp where Marcus captures some Will-o-the-Wisps to shine the light of dead children's souls on the Squid Stone to retrieve one of the rituals inside. He then releases the Wisps back into the swamp, and that's where we'll pick up next time.

Quest For Glory Epic Let's Play Part Seventy-Eight: Dr. Cranium

In Which Our Hero learns about SCIENCE!





If you needed any proof that talkie games move at a slower pace than text games, I present today's update which consists entirely of a conversation with Dr. Cranium. Marcus hears a lot about the glories of SCIENCE, although even he has to admit the source might be a little biased.

Dr. Cranium expounds at length about science and its superiority to magic, but he is helpful in several regards: he can make healing and poison cure potions, and he gave Marcus some flasks for 'specimen collection.' I'm not sure what Marcus has in mind with those but we'll see.

I swear the next update will have a little more action in it. And our first Quest for Glory 4 death scene!
