The past few hours are hazy in your memory. You remember only one thing clearly: you are here to find the Status of Iblis.
To-Do:
-- Survive darkness of Iblis' tomb, trials by fire, earth, air, water, and temptation.
I feel like I've been on a four hour bender. Why is it dark? Can I see anything?
It is difficult to judge where you are going in this darkness. It is also very dangerous.
Let's just feel around for a light.
You feel what might be a wall of this cave. It feels cold and damp, despite the desert outside. The sound of the wind is mostly above you.
What about above me?
You bump your head rather hard into a stalagmite. Or is it a stalactite?
Owww, fuck! Let's just get the fuck out of here.
As you step forward, you find nothing to step onto. Your hands grab for a stalagmite (or is it a stalactite?), but slip off the slick surface. You find yourself falling...
Ok, need light. What spells do I have again?
- Open things. - Trigger existing spells. - Shoot Darts of Flame. - Fetch far away objects. - Detect Magic in area. - Shoot Bolt of blunt Force. - Calm pretty much anything, for a time. - Zap energy into weapon. - Dazzling light show to blind enemies. - Levitate up and down. - Self-cast Reversal to reflect targeted spells.
Ok, anything that can light up a room? Dazzle sounds lighty...
Your eyes are blinded by the flash in the dark, and you still can't see.
Damn it all! Flame Dart?
Your eyes are blinded by the flash in the dark, and you still can't see.
Damn it, Keap, why couldn't you have some kind of light creating spell?
Wait! I have a magic lamp with a Fire Elemental.
Looks like there's a path to the left here...
The glow in this cavern comes from phosphorescent fungi. The stream flows swiftly to a waterfall, which disappears into a great cavern far, far below. Old logs and other debris come from above. The rushing water carries them deep into the caverns far below.
It's times like this I wish I had a freeze spell, or at least a "Glide across water" spell. Maybe I'm agile enough to just leap across this river...
And maybe not. Those logs coming across the river look pretty large though...
If nothing else works, trust in luck!
Now, what's this dark hole on the left? That's a fucking hurricane blowing out of that hole.
Careful examination of the air hole and the rocks above reveals that there are some loose stones that hold the structure together. There are small fissures running between its base and the rocks above.
Sounds like a job for blunt Force.
+7 Block Air Draft (401/500)
Next trial!
+7 Pass River Room (408/500)
To the right!
Ok, lava, let's just Calm down here...
As your Calm spell takes effect, the flames from the geysers cease. The room still remains unbearably hot though.
Let's think here...water beats fire. Fuck, that's the second time I needed a water spell today! I'm a little leery of letting the water elemental loose on me, so let's just stick with plain water.
+7 Clear Lava Room (415/500)
Jim Darkmagic 1, Lava 0. Eat it, lava!
A cliff edge? Eat shit, climbing skill!
+7 Get down from cliff (422/500)
WIT was tougher than this. C'mon, tomb, what else you got?
None shall enter
None shall pass
but he who speaks the Name of Power.
SPEAK NOW THE NAME OF POWER!
Another easy one!
Ok, now what did that prophecy say before?
Oh right. That was the name. But who is 'He who Waits Behind'?...
You hear a sound of thunder.
+7 Open Door of Power (429/500)
Jackpot! Treasure everywhere! There is the money I've been looking for.
Ok, fuck that treasure. Now this treasure looks promising.
Fuck me, why couldn't I learn that Zap spell? Fuck all this treasure, then, and fuck that trial of temptation right in the head!
+5 Clear treasure chamber (434/500)
What else you got, tomb?
A glor illuminates this chamber. It flows from an object high atop the strange structure before you. At the sight of the glowing object you feel irresistibly drawn forward.
Ooooooh, shiny...
Your feet seem to move with a will of their own. As you draw near, you see that the object is a statue made of crystal. A dark, shapeless form stirs within it. The crystal's cool glow is numbing. You feel compelled to pick it up, but as you reach out...
You are suddenly unable to move.
Fool! Some hero you are! A pawn of the very man you sought to destroy. Thanks to your help, I now have that through which I can summon the greatest destructive power ever known -- Iblis himself!
Honeymoon's over, bitch. Soon as I can move, I end you.
Do you know how long I have awaited this moment? Seventy years! Seventy years I have served the Dark Master while watching for the stars to align.
Seventy years? Well done, grandpa. And you're still not a master? I've been looking up to the wrong dark wizard.
Seventy years I have spent learning the magic that controls men's minds and waiting for a fool to fulfill the prophecy for me.
I'm right here, asshole. Ingrate.
Tonight, as the moon arises between the Scorpion's claws and the Dragon's teeth, I shall begin the ritual that shall make me the Master! I will control Iblis, and thus control the world.
I'm afraid I can't let you do that, Ad. I happen to like the people in the world...that adore me.
Oh. I get it now. Shit.
Farewell, Hero!
The door is blocked by tons of rocks -- apparently for good.
I swear, I'll find some way to make him choke on those words before the night's over. At least I can move again and I'm not under his damned mind control any more. I need to protect myself against that shit next time. Good thing I have a Reversal spell.
Now, is there anything else in this room? Come on, luck!
What's this, now? Is that a ring?
You pick up the ring and read the inscription: "He Who Waits Behind." As you put it on your finger, you twist it a bit to see its design.
+7 Get Djinni Ring (441/500)
I feel so much better now about that prophecy! What are you, anyway?
I've been in the Ring so long, I think I forgot. You can call me Djinni, though.
A real Djinni? And you say I get three wishes?
+7 Ask Djinni about Wishes (448/500)
Good deal. Why are you in this room?
Well, I was supposed to make sure Iblis doesn't get loose, so now I guess I get to help you bring him back, as the prophecy says.
Man, I wish I was always this lucky.
By my power, may you have the skill of ten men!
You suddenly feel much more skilled.
Shit, I wish I chose my words more carefully.
By my power, may you have the skill of ten men!
You suddenly feel much more skilled.
Fuck me! I wish I wasn't such an idiot.
Or I'll just shut the fuck up right now and have you teleport me to Iblis, which seems like a much better place than here.
There will be no safety for anyone until Iblis is returned, Master. We must hurry and bring him back!
Master, huh? I could get used to this.
Yes, out of the tomb!
Wow, What do you know? It worked! My magic really worked!
I don't see Iblis here...
We are now in what you call Raseir. This is as close to Iblis as I could get.
So, where did Ad Avis and Iblis go, then?
There are some very powerful spells coming from that Palace over there. We don't have much time!
So, does that mean it's time to tear shit up, then?
Well, what are you waiting for? Let's go!
I think I like you. A lot.
Hero-friend! What magic you have at your command!
Finally, someone notices.
The Underground is prepared to attack the Palace. If you need to enter there, we will provide some distraction for you. However, we are almost ready, so you must hurry before you are caught in our battle.
I am not ashamed to use an entire army as a distraction. Better stay clear, though, because shit is about to get real.
Okay, fuckers. I remember everything I was supposed to do now..
To-Do: -- Survive darkness of (likely Iblis') tomb, trials by fire, earth, air, water, and temptation.
- Be a Hero Raseir style
-- Burn the moustache off that damned smug Khaveen's face.
-- Stop the last light.
-- Free the people from Ad Avis, the Elemental's Master
-- Restore Emir Arus (Ad Avis ruling, 1000 dinar reward)
- Find tree-loving hippie that could free Julanar with true love
- Go to Tarna one day, track down that Demon-wizard, and kick his ass just because he's there
- One day, long in the future, track down this Dark Master that even the Wizards of WIT are scared of, because that guy sounds really bad ass.
...and I have no reason to hold back...next set!

No coffee. No mattress. No dignity. That's it. I'm giving this place a 1-star rating on Yelp, which is incidentally the sound I made when the rat climbed up my
Signor Ferrari sends his regrets, but he had some rather disturbing news. He will talk to you this evening.
Oh I see, I'm his bitch and he talks to me whenever he feels like it. Well, it's not like I've got anything else to do today, guess I'll hang around until he comes back. Say, is that a parrot?
On second thought, I think I'll go take a look around again. Just in case something is different. Maybe I can find out what this "disturbing news" is. I wonder if I can use my map?
Check out this thriving metropolis. I suppose I'll check out the palace first.
Oh come on. I can't even go to one of the three points of interest in Raseir? I guess I don't have any choice.
Hm? Something is going on in there. Those pixels look very familiar.
I would be very careful where you point those swords. If I wasn't totally lethargic from lack of caffeine, I'd take you all on right now. As it is, I'll just have to wait until you're asleep.
Hero, you must help me! Do something!
The swords of the guards press deeper into your skin.
There are no heroes in this town. You of all men should know that, Ugarte.
Errr... hello? Hi. Hero here. Sort of the job description.
I know very little. What is going on? I am innocent of any wrongdoing.
coubullshitgh
If you are so innocent, then what is this?
He kind of slashes at his abdomen, and out spills water.
I don't know how that water bag could have gotten there. Someone must have planted it on me.
Well, at least I know it isn't that he was happy to see me.
Waterskins under your tunic, Ugarte? You know that smuggling water is a crime against the state. You also know what we do to criminals like you.
No, no, please. I am innocent! I do not know how it got there. No! Hero... Help!
Yes sir. No water elementals in my pocket, no sirree.
I hope you are smart enough to learn this lesson. You do not want to see the dungeons of Raseir.
Actually, now that you said that, I sort of do. Oh well. Back to the inn I guess. Nowhere else to go, really. Do de do... hey, who are...
That's what is says on all my business cards...
Ugh, I told Hakim not to go nuts with the fonts...
Quickly, before the guards come.
I'm coming, don't get your veil in a bunch.
Oh, hi there. Would you like one of my business cards?
Please, you must help me. Take off your clothes.
...aaaaand I'm spent. Damn.
That's gross. I must leave the city before I am forced to marry Khaveen. I have heard you are a hero. With your help, I can be out of the city by nightfall. I wish to disguise myself as you and leave with your visa, so please, let me exchange clothes with you.
Well, before we get to that. Your uncle is a saurus. And I don't mean that as an insult, he really has been turned into a saurus. Some other hot lady is watching him in Shapeir.
Oh, it is so good to know my uncle is still alive. He is such a kind and friendly man.
Yeah, not too bright though. I did ride him for a while. That came out wrong. I mounted him and rode him all the way through the desert. OK, that sounds even worse. Let's just swap clothes now. Um, you might not want these now, after I... yeah. Let me just give you the spare clothes Shema packed for me.
Thank you so very much.
Hey, don't look at me like that, lady. I didn't buy the glasses, don't worry your pretty little head about it.
Please, in order to leave the city I need one more thing, although it will be dangerous for you. I must have your visa.
Sure you don't want my Discover card? I get frequent magic carpet flier miles on that thing. Oh fine, here.
Thank you ever so much. In return for your favors, I can only give you a token. Here is my mirror. You have but to show it to any woman in the Palace and she will aid you. Again, my thanks and may fortune favor you. Farewell.
Wait until she clears the alleyway before you leave, Effendi.
A couple of moments of awkward silence pass...
Sooooo... what's your name?
I am called Mayzun.
So what the hell is up with Khaveen, Raisin?
Khaveen will not marry Zayishah. I will kill him myself before I will let him have her. I have been a servant to her since she was little, and her slave since Ad Avis made slaves. He has a snake's eyes, and hates all women.
More for me, I suppose. See ya, Karen.
If you need a place of safety in the Palace sometime, the harem will welcome you for the aid you gave my mistress. I shall tie a veil from the battlements at night to guide you. Thank you greatly, Effendi Hero.
That last set is short, I know, but I wanted to get something out. I've had a very busy past few weeks, but it looks like I'm about to get a little more free time. I still need to go back and fix all the old sets.
OK, fixed the color and all of my old sets are readable now too. There's a lot of weirdness going on with the forum switcharoo. Syphyre, when you get to making more, the biggest fuckbug I've found is that spoiler tags and quotes will break your text size, so you've got to add another size tag after and inside all quotes/spoilers. Really frustrating, and I hope it gets fixed soon.
The only other big issue was the strikethrough tag being changed from strike to s. Mass search and replace was fine, except when I actually used the word "strike" in a set.
I plan to get one up this weekend, I didn't mind falling behind since I was ahead for a while :P Also deciding on whether to start going more righteous indignation paladinish, or naive dogooder paladinish. I think the latter, since you two have plenty of indignation of various kinds.

Good job gang! I've never played or even heard of this game before now, but I just had to go clicking josh's sig to see who that third guy was. Definitely worth my time. Only problem is I've read all the sets so far so know I actually have to wait for the next one.
Since the finale for QFG 2 is so well done and so completely different for each class (as opposed to QFG1 where the time from the second you enter the brigand compound through the end of the game is exactly the same regardless of class), I'm going to wait on posting the QFG 2 finale set until the other two are at the same point.
Do spoilers not work right in the preview pane or something?
No, you can't open spoilers in the preview pane. I just edit out the [ spoiler ] tags for previewing, and then add them back in at the end when I know everything works right.
When we last left our fearless honorable Jethro...
Oh yeaahh...what happened to him?
After a week of traveling, you leave the caravan when it comes within sight of the city of Raseir. The Caravan Master warns you that Raseir is a dangerous place to be and bids you be wary of all you meet there. He rears up and salutes you, and you watch the caravan move onward into the desert.
You ride alone to the entrance to Raseir, and pass through the barred gates which barely open for you.
Hrm...Raseir. Looks like Shapeir, if Murky and Lurky were living there.
Wow, here to welcome me to the city and all! Howdy Friends! I'm Jethro, Shapeir sent me to...
Oh...er...I thought this was the welcoming party?
Wait what? It's obvious that you need a he...
*SLAP*
Geeze, yes, whatever.
See that you obey all the rules posted around town. Rule number one: strangers must always carry their visa. Do you have your visa?
What Visa? No one said anything ab...
*SLAP*
Already breaking the rules, are you?
Dude back OFF already, I'm outnumbered, but I can take you down before your guards kill me.
Here is your visa. Don't leave town without it.
I don't think I like him very much. I'm going to have a little face to face chat with him soon. Very very soon.
Woo. Lets hope the inn is still in the same place.
Same place? Yes. Same atmosphere? I don't think I'll be getting food as good as Shema. Or furry belly dancing.
A hush comes over the bar as people notice you and eye you sullenly.
Will you look what crawled in from the desert? He has been out in the sun so long, his hair has gone yellow!
Ah, if you want to get technical, the color is blonde, not yellow.
Now, now, Wilmer, he is a stranger to our fair city. You wouldn't want to give the wrong opinion about the hospitality of Raseir.
I've had some of your hospitality already embedded in my ribs, but I appreciate the gesture.
Come here, stranger. I see you have already made the acquaintance of Khaveen, out illustrious captain of the Raseirian Guard. So perhaps you already have an idea of Raseirian hospitality. Come here, sit down, and let us have a little chat, you and I.
Sure, just give me a second, I want to look around first, I don't think I trust this place much.
Well since you said please, I suppose I shall Signor Ferrari.
Alright, I'm listening Ferrari.
If you don't mind me saying so, you look like a man with a mission. I like that in a man. But perhaps a word of caution. In a city such as Raseir, there are many depths to the problems. Do not try to change things here too quickly. You will find that the system is not so bad, once you get used to it. However, it would be very dangerous to try to alter that system. You might make enemies.
I've made enemies and lived, Ferrari. Don't you worry about me.
Enough of such morbid thoughts, though. Perhaps we should share a drink in honor of our new relationship. Would you prefer Raseirish Coffee or a Djinn Sling?
*remembering the HOF initiation* Coffee. Please.
A most prudent decision upon your part.
.
You drink the bitter, thick liquid. It has an odd, almost chemical, taste. You feel strange for a few seconds, but the feeling passes. Ferrari starts to ask some very probing questions but you evade most of them.
You are a very closed-mouth individual. You handle your drink very well. I trust you will handle yourself in Raseir as well.
Trust me, Ferrari. I know how to deal with places like this.
We will reserve a room here for you tonight. You will need to return here before dark, for it is forbidden to be out at night.
This place rents rooms? No kidding! You coulda fooled me. Thanks for the free room Signor.
You do that. Meanwhile I'm going to take a look around and get my hero on.
Hey, bartender, tell me a bit about Ferrari, he had a lot of questions for me, I'd like to know about him.
That is Signor Ferrari to you, punk.
*deep breath* Tell me about SIGNOR Ferrari.
Signor Ferrari is to be respected and obeyed.
Looks like I better be around for the meeting later tonight. I need to get more info out of Ferrari.
Off to explore Raseir...though at every turn our hero is prevented from moving on by guards.
The only place I can get to is a few alleys and this poor desolate fountain *sighs* I'll...wait, honorably for a day or two while I figure out a plan. No need to be charging the palace. Yet.
Depressed by the grey city, Jethro heads to the desert to release a little tension.
Like I told the bartender, it's BLONDE. Sheesh don't you people know your colors? Then again I guess not.
Your papers are in order. You may pass.
...This city needs to be freed from the yoke of oppression, starting with these ridiculous rules.
Thank you to the royalty back in Shapeir!
TAILSWIPE! And it's a battle saurus too! Sweet! I am so keeping you!
After beating a few bandits senseless, even though he wants to beat the guards senseless.
Why here it is my good sir! *charming smile! *
Your papers are in order. By order of Khaveen, you must have a pleasant stay.
Y'all wanna go get some drinks later on? Roll the dice? Tell me about any secret entrances to the palace? No? Well, worth a shot.
I don't particuarly want to sit down next to you, but seeing as I have no other sources of information, yet, do speak.
Oh goodie. Storytime.
How you choose to react to this moral is your own life. As you well know, the old Emir was deposed last year, and his brother took over the Palace. Raseir used to be a place with very few laws and restrictions; a place where the streets were filled with people and merchants and water flowed free from the fountain. That has changed with the coming of Khaveen and his master.
I can tell. Khaveen is a jerk, and I'd like to talk to him one on one.
A new order has been established. The weak have perished or fled. Only the strong who adapted remain. Those that could not adapt were destroyed. You are strong, but it remains to be seen how adaptable you are. It would be a great shame for you to wind up in Khaveen's dungeons.
Ferarri, damn straight I am strong, but I'm bound by honor to allow the city itself to adapt, and if it means the city rejects those...elements? Well, we shall see.
Ugarte, I would like to introduce you to Jethro.
Hopefully all of it good, and nothing from Khaveen.
Ugarte here provides an invaluable service to this community. He obtains things for others which are otherwise unattainable.
For a nominal fee, of course
I know your type, I've seen the movies. What are you pushing Ugarte?
It seems he has some information for you.
A rumor, perhaps, that may influence your actions. I will be happy to share such information for, say, five dinars?
Information. Such is the wealth of power. Fine, tell me your rumors Ugarte and make them worth the money.
I suspected before that you were a very dangerous man to have around, Jethro. It seems I am correct.
*smiles toothily and cracks fingers* Ferrari, you have no idea.
Still ,it will be very interesting to see how this game plays out. You may stay tonight in the first room past the door on the left.
Indeed Ferrari, we shall see how the game plays out. I rarely lose. Except when attacked by a weapon master. Or Baba Yaga frogs me. Or a healer kisses me. But that's all in my past!
Now, Ugarte, was it? Jethro, here.
Tell me, have you any other information? It might not be bad to have a hero on your side you know.
This 'Someone' told Khaveen to watch for you. It is interesting to see Khaveen play the lackey around here. Khaveen is not the person in charge in Raseir, although he would like to believe otherwise. About that one, I can say no more. It is said that the whisper of his name will draw his attention. I have no wish for him to notice me.
I bet I have a pretty good idea of who this "someone" is. Powerful, magical, likely the same man who turned a clown into a wierd creature back in the desert. What about this prophecy you mentioned?
It is said that, ah, someone, is waiting for someone to open a door to something. I have had no desire to learn more about it. Things dealing with magic are best left alone.
Wise words, Ugarte. Tell me about this Ferrari who seems so wise himself.
We are old friends, are we not, Ferrari?
...
Indeed. And your other...talents?
It would be hard for someone such as myself to make a living in Shapeir, so I have heard. Ther are so few laws to work around. I do what I can to help those poor unfortunates who live around here. Water is my specialty. Since the fountain has dried up, the only place to get water is from the Emir's men. The only plaec other than myself, that is. It is surprising how much water is worth to one who is thirsty.
Anything about the current live in puppet king and the palace itself dear friend? Here, have another coffee.
The Palace of Raseir is very lovely and dangerous. All the wealth of Raseir remains there, and all the dungeons as well. It is said that the only way to leave Raseir's dungeons is to die.
Well I don't plan to get tossed there dear Ugarte. Ferrari, Ugarte, I bid you both good night. And I'm going to bolt my door well.
Yeah, I forget which stat it is (vitality?) But if it's low, you will answer his questions, but there's no real gameplay change.

Ah well. Pity we don't get to see it, but if there's no gameplay change, it's not really worth bothering to show. It would be a lot of work just to show a few lines of different dialog.
Edit: Completely unrelated, but it's strange that your avatar doesn't blink in threads Syphyre, but it does on your profile.

I think it should be fine, but I can edit Luck down a bit if I need to afterwards.

timspork, I've gotten my stats above 50 several times and imported safely into 3. It's no problem.
Nocren, I'll give it a glance after I finish going through all my old sets. The OP has been updated with all of Piotyr's persistent, prolific posts.
The only other big issue was the strikethrough tag being changed from strike to s. Mass search and replace was fine, except when I actually used the word "strike" in a set.

Keep it up!

I remember that confusing me when I was younger.
No, you can't open spoilers in the preview pane. I just edit out the [ spoiler ] tags for previewing, and then add them back in at the end when I know everything works right.

Oh yeaahh...what happened to him?
After a week of traveling, you leave the caravan when it comes within sight of the city of Raseir. The Caravan Master warns you that Raseir is a dangerous place to be and bids you be wary of all you meet there. He rears up and salutes you, and you watch the caravan move onward into the desert.
You ride alone to the entrance to Raseir, and pass through the barred gates which barely open for you.
A hush comes over the bar as people notice you and eye you sullenly.
You drink the bitter, thick liquid. It has an odd, almost chemical, taste. You feel strange for a few seconds, but the feeling passes. Ferrari starts to ask some very probing questions but you evade most of them.
Off to explore Raseir...though at every turn our hero is prevented from moving on by guards.
Depressed by the grey city, Jethro heads to the desert to release a little tension.
After beating a few bandits senseless, even though he wants to beat the guards senseless.
Obviously.
Woo, first set in about a month!
This is a lot slower than randomly coming across this thread and finding 80+ sets already uploaded.
That hero pose is brilliant. I'll be very disappointed if they don't keep it up for the entirety of the game series.
So does anything different happen if your stats are low when you drink (Rase)Irish Coffee?
Edit: Completely unrelated, but it's strange that your avatar doesn't blink in threads Syphyre, but it does on your profile.
