It's not that your honor is low, either. Jim's honor just skyrocketed because of all those trips to Aziza to train magic at Sim-Siddhi. Each and every one of those trips raised Jim's honor a bit. And if I was ever rude, I couldn't go back to her.
I'm looking forward to Jim's reaction to the Simbani camp
BTW, you lose honor if you use magic in Tarna, even in your hotel room. Did a nice session of spell practice and checked my stats to find my honor all the way down to 5...and it was a while since I saved. Ouch.
It's like you're Rakeesh's bitch. "What, war is imminent? ....uh, ow, my leg! I really need to, um, stay in bed snuggling with my lion-woman. For a few weeks, at least. You need to go on without me. Don't worry, I'm sure you can handle it."

"Could you grab me a burger while you're out? I get paid next week, I'll pay you back I swear."
I know Piotyr wanted to wait until we all three were at the final end game sequence. Would it be alright if I went ahead and started posting that stuff just to get it off my mind? Or would you like me to wait.
Either way is cool with me, really. If you wanted to post to keep things moving that's fine. I could post my next set too, soon as I have access to it.
I'll be back soon, I promise. The semester is over, which means I'm full-time at one of my jobs again and still part-time at my second job. I've been doing field work the last few days. Oddly enough, once school starts back up I'll be able to steamroll through this bitch again.
It's 106 feet from the palace, we got two guards at the door, one sentry on the balcony, and I forgot my sunglasses. Lets hit it.
Oh heck, alright, lets take these two guards before anymore come out.
Ah, bringing up your buddies to help you fight? All of you are just in my way. I apologize if I have to kill you but it's for the greater good.
You first? Lets see what you've got.
Not much, apparently. Your turn now.
You're the last one, sure you don't want to go running off?
Because I have the skill of ten men! That sounded so lame didn't it...
Actually, there are three, but who's counting. Now to get inside. What should I do with my newfound strength?
Indeed.
URF! Ugh it's a wonder my intelligence score doesn't get lower every time I ram myself into a door.
So long balcony sentry! Tell your guards to stay put. Points: 5 (450) - Enter the Palace
After a length run through palace cooridors, the djinn leading the way...
Ahhh, Khaveen. Here is one man I won't feel regret for killing. You've tortured too many innocents and helped send this city into a spiral of destruction. Your life is over tonight.
Hey, it's called a soliloquy, let me voice my inner monologue! Sheesh. I guess you didn't watch any plays in that ring.
Ok I have no time to stand around and fight this thing, running away!
He keeps lighting candles, lets knock them over, see if that interrupts his work.
What are you the narrator?
There! Ritual stopped!
Oh hell, he's mad.
*deep inhale as he stares at the flames* Like hell I can't.
RRAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!
*panting* That. Fire. Hurt.
We did it, didn't we...
Thank you for helping me right this wrong Djinni.
Who's the hero? Who's the awesome hero? Oh yeah. Points: 15 (380) - Defeat Ad Avis
But the city...still mourns.
Absolutely wonderful what a little controlled magic can be used for.
What...is that who I think it is up there? What are they doing flying here?!
I...what...you mean I could have avoided 10 days of desert travel had the sultan felt good enough to fly me over?! But now he sends you, AND Shema? AND Shameen? And...wait, we're going to the palace? This might not be all bad. Lets go.
This really is one of the most nonsensical things even for this game, but just roll with it, ok?
Heh, that reminds me, I should change up my set a bit.
Fighter gets all the time he needs to fight off all the guards and fight with Khaveen, but if Wizard tries that shit, "Oh no, you took too long, Iblis is free!".
It's our LP! We, your fandom, demand more LP goodness! We will not stand idly by while you let "real life," whatever that is, interfere with our entertainment! Dance for us, Josh! Dance!
EDIT: Also, great fighter set. Loved the linked music - great idea!
It is within my power to give unto you that what you wish for.
Uploading what will hopefully be either the next to last set, or the first of the final 3 sets.
EDIT:
And since it will probably motivate me to finish, I'll just go ahead and finish screen capturing the rest of the game, so I can work on this at work tomorrow too if I snatch a second or three.
To-Do:
- 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.
Hi fellas, you may have heard of me. My name is Jim Darkmagic, and there are many ways I can hurt you...
I think I'll open with a refreshing Force Bolt...
The gate is being attacked!
The more the merrier, bring it on!
Suddenly, you and the guards turn as you hear a rumbling and crashing from inside the Palace.
No! Iblis is loose!
Shit, now I have to be ruthless and efficient? Fine. I bet idiot fighter heroes don't have to deal with this effiency shit.
First, let's nail Mr. Eunuch up there in the balls head, so he doesn't sound the alarm.
And then, the only area of effect combat spell I know...Dazzle!
With the guards incapacitated, let's go for the magic trifecta and Open the door!
All too easy.
Hurry, Master! You must follow me.
Where's the fire, Djinni? Oh, right, universe destroying Iblis. Coming...
You race through the palace passageways, pausing now and again to evade scurrying guards. The Djinni of the Ring, for all of his forgetful nature, seems to have a clear idea of where he's taking you.
Through here, Master! Iblis is close, and time is short.
Well isn't this convenient.
To-Do:
-- Burn the moustache off that damned smug Khaveen's face.
Time for a well-deserved Flame Dart...
There, Master. Through that door over there is the ritual chamber where Iblis is being summoned. Let's go!
Ruining the damned moment, Djinni...
I am ordered to guard this door when I should be out leading the troops. A pox upon the head of all magicians.
Yep, let's make this Flame extra fucking hot...
You will have to give the orders. Let no one into the Palace. If a single person gets past you, I will have your head on a platter.
To hear is to obey, sir.
Little does he know they've already failed. Eat Flame, asshole!
The only purpose that served was to get Khaveen's undivided attention.
Guards! The balcony! Guards!
Fucking hell! Well...I guess I could try Calming him a bit before I roast him...
And now for the...
...that was oddly unsatisfying.
To-Do:
-- Calm the fuck out of Khaveen.
You did it! Now you must go on.
Right, more magical display. First, let's get down from the balcony the fun magical way...
Now, through the door at the top of the stairs is Iblis. There is some sort of spell on the door, but I don't know what it is. There is an awful lot of magic around here.
If only there were some way to Trigger the spell on the door from here...oh wait, there is!
Being a wizard; is there anything it can't do?
Before I go barging in there, though, I should protect myself from that fucking mind control, and that fucking shapeshift spell that Ad Avis seems to like so much. Reversal!
You are now protected by the power of Reversal.
Now, one more quick magical Opening...
...and it's time for the grand entrance!
+7 Enter Ritual Room (455/500)
Hear me, O Dark Powers! Light the darkness and bind Iblis to me forever!
You seem to have triggered a magical spell on that statue, Master.
Must not be an epic music lover. This looks like a job for another Force Bolt...
Good idea! He does look top-heavy with all those arms, doesn't he? Unfortunately, his mass is far too great for that spell to have any effect.
Fuck off, narrator! Well, if I triggered it to start, I can Trigger it to end.
Jim Darkmagic 1, Enormous Stone Golem 0. Now, cue the epic music!
That's got it, Boss! Now stop those candles!
I do like you, Djinni minion.
To-Do:
-- Stop the last light.
Hey, that totally makes sense now. I do so dislike Fetch quests though...
To-Do:
-- Stop the last light.
You! You will pay!
Finally notice me, did you? Welcome to the party, pal.
By the powers of all Darkness, by the power of my name, Shall your soul be mirrored outward, and your body be the same!
Now that was more satisfying. You know, Ad, for a master wizard, you do like to use the same spell over and over again. Smart people may catch on to the pattern.
Stop him, Master! Don't let him cast that spell!
A naked lady runaway princess told me you fear Flame. Let's test that theory...
Everything just bounces off that human, Boss. You better try something else, quick!
So, it appears you also have a Reversal spell...
The spell is about to go off! It'll get you for sure!
Oh, I've got an idea! I can Force that flaming brazier to tip over onto him!
Fucking physics! I need to find a way to tip it the other way!
Turns out I'm fucking terrified of flame too. Let's try that again, with more physics...
+25 Defeat Ad Avis (480/500)
To-Do:
-- Free the people from Ad Avis, the Elemental's Master
We did it! Hurray!
And I'm slowly making my way up the wizard totem pole...
Thank You, Master. Now I can take Iblis back to his tomb where he will be safe for another thousand years and a year.
Oh right! And that whole "saving the world" thing. That was nice too!
I knew I would remember it! This is the real prophecy...
Would've been handy information a set and a half ago, but hey.
Bye bye, Master. It's been fun!
Wait, faithful minion! Damn. Well, this definitely calls for a pose!
With the help of the slave woman Mayzun, you found the Emir Ali hiding in his bedroom. With your urging (and a few sharp remarks from Mayzun), the Emir swore he'd restore the city. By the first light of dawn, the Emir Ali al-Din Hasan ordered all fighting to cease and proclaimed the evil rule of Ad Avis and Khaveen to be over. As the Emir began an incredibly dull speech, you slipped away to complete your quest.
I did what now?
Oh right, that dump of a fountain. I never did get much use out of this damned Water Elemental. Hey, Flow! Earn your keep!
That...was far more effective than I thought it'd be.
Hey guys! Just in time to...miss all the fucking incredible magical action!
The Sultan personally sent me to return you to his Palace, Hero of all Shapeir.
Man, I need to keep you around just for the creative titles.
To-Do: - Be a Hero Raseir style
-- Restore Emir Arus (1000 dinar reward)
The Sultan you say? Sounds like the place to go for buckets of money glory and honor.
+20 Attend celebration at Sultan's Palace (500/500)
Jim Darkmagic, thou shalt stand before the Sultan Harun al Rashid (May He Reign Forever!) to be judged.
Wait. Judged?!
Will anyone speak for the Stranger of the North?
We shall speak for Jim Darkmagic.
We met Jim Darkmagic. Through his courage and skills, he restored the Baron's son and daughter and banished the wicked Baba Yaga. He became Hero of Spielburg.
I totally owe you a drink, Shameen.
He journeyed with us back to Shapeir. Here he defeated the Elementals of Fire, Air, Earth and Water to save our city. He is a true hero.
You like me!
Who will speak for this Hero of Spielburg?
*gulp* Someone else?!
I shall speak for Jim Darkmagic.
You like me?
This man of his own free will went into the desert and sought the plant-woman Julanar. Through his kindness and compassion, he allowed Julanar to forget the pain and suffering of her past and to again face life with joy.
And the Fruit of Compassion!
This man also found a caged beast in the desert. Though it was wicked and most foul,
And totally not a hot blonde!
Jim Darkmagic turned aside its wickedness and restored its humanity. We shall hope it may learn from the kindness of the hero. This man is a true hero.
Who will speak for this man of kindness?
Oh come on, I'm not going to keep getting this lucky! Now we're upping the ante to kindness?!
I shall speak for Jim Darkmagic.
Do I know you?
Oh, you look way different with your clothes on when not disguised as me.
In order to escape the repression of my homeland, Raseir, I asked this stranger for aid. At the risk to his own life, he helped me escape the city. He is a true hero.
Call me!
Who will speak for this man of courage?
Oh for fuck's sake!
Gronk!
Oh yeah, I totally forgot about missed you, buddy!
Then let him have a voice that he may speak.
You offer one of your dispel potions to the Saurus.
To-Do: -- Restore Emir Arus (1000 dinar reward)
Probably should've tried that a month ago. My bad!
When Ad Avis transformed me into a Saurus, I lost all hope of returning to my own form. Yet this man showed me his courage, kindness, and honor, and I knew that Jim Darkmagic would restore me.
Who will speak for this man of honor?
The hell? I don't think there's anyone left. I even used the saurus!
The Sultan shall speak for Jim Darkmagic.
Wait a second, you look familiar...just can't place the face...
I am the Poet Omar, teller of tales for all to hear.
Oh shit. So, that stolen purse...did you ever figure out who took it? Because I feel like shit about that now.
By the words which have been spoken,
By the deeds that have been done,
I proclaim this man a hero,
I now call this man my son.
Wow. Prince of Shapeir, then? I guess there's only one thing left to do...
C'mon, saurus. Let's go watch the moon rise.
Until next time!
Points tally (starting from 448):
+7 Enter Ritual Room
+25 Defeat Ad Avis
+20 Attend Judgment
Total: 500 points out of 500
Just barely squeezed it all in there. 1 character to spare!
Wait, I thought you couldn't use a dispel potion on the Emir because the crappy Shapeir dispel potions need a hair from the person, which is an issue for reptiles.
Clearly this makes even less sense than the flying carpet thing.
Okay, all my final pictures are uploading now. I'll try and finish QFG2 while I'm at work today, if I get a chance. Piotyr, can you PM me the juicy details of how you got those animated gifs so smooth?
You are under arrest for breaking the law of Raseir on this day, the 29th of the Serpent, Year of the Djinn. Come quietly, or you will be taken by force.
Well, at least you didn't say, "...taken roughly from behind." I'm coming, but I'm not saying a thing! And I want my phone call! Get me my lawyer, split up my dividends and double my reimbursement investitures! Then come see me in an hour and tell me what the hell I'm talking about.
You follow the guards through the dark streets, past the gates of the palace, and into the dungeon of Raseir.
After being dragged to the dungeon of the palace, you were roughly searched, beaten, and questioned by the guards. They warned you that Khaveen will be coming soon to personally question you...
...and that you won't enjoy it.
Well, I'm not alone, that's something. What's your name, little kitty?
Hey, I'm a prisoner, not a guard. You have no reason to be afraid of me until you get out of here and find something shiny, like this pin here that the guards forgot to take off me.
The katta stands up.
Erm, yes! I am extremely trusted, and so once we're clear of this prison, you should immediately give your valuables to me for safekeeping. Since I'm so trustworthy.
Well, Katta-friend, let us escape this very dangerous place.
It's actually sort of cozy, compared to where I've been sleeping.
And how did they find that out, I wonder? Did they all have Magic Trust Pins, too?
The entrance to the passageway should be here... Yes, it is here. Lend your strong shoulder to the task.
Ugh, manual labor. Fine. As long as it means freedom.
I have helped others escape through the secret passageways. Do not fear. I will lead you to safety through the passageways, Katta-friend. Perhaps, before you leave, you should pick up your equipment over there near the cell. But do not dally too long, or the guards will surely come.
They call me Captain Obvious because I say things that are obvious.
You recover all of your equipment. The Katta leads you through dark passages under the Palace to a secret exit into the Raseir streets.
What is the point of such a secret passage, I wonder? Perhaps the people who run this prison like to give prisoners a sporting chance? The katta couldn't move the entrance by themselves, so clearly they didn't make it.
Just repeat to yourself, "It's just a Let's Play, I should really just relax."
Well... it didn't start out that way, but it sure as hell is looking to end up that way.
I am impressed by your sense of honor, yet despite your previous heroics I think you will need assistance in taking down the entire Raseirian regime. I believe you should lay low for now, friend of the Katta. If you are captured again, they will surely kill you on sight. Tomorrow night, the Underground will launch an attack on the Palace in an attempt to overthrow the Emir.
That's not really my style, pal. You guys would make a good distraction for about 5 minutes, though.
If you can manage to stay out of Khaveen's hands for one more day, you would be a very valuable ally to us.
Okay. Say, Shema and Shameen asked me to look out for a katta named Sharaf. That wouldn't happen to be...
My name, Sharaf, means 'honor'.
Hey, cool, Sharaf! I'm glad the deputy got shot instead of you. Say, doesn't Khaveen suck?
It is rumored that Khaveen is but a tool for someone more cruel and powerful. Someone who uses magic to rule Raseir. Khaveen is the most feared man in all Raseir, although rumor has it he is not the most powerful.
I hold that title, pleased to say. Welp, see ya, Sharaf.
You are right. Our chances of avoiding capture will be greater if we split up. Do not return to the Blue Parrot. Those scoundrels will not hesitate to turn you in once they hear Khaveen is looking for you. Avoid the guards at all costs, as they will soon know of our escape. May we both fare well, Hero-Friend.
You keep talking to me like I'm some amateur, yet you were the one stuck in a cage until I got there. Ah well. Hope you're not roadkill next time I see you.
Tum de dum
AHHH! She said it wasn't contagious!
Say, I've seen your picture before. In WIT. Why did I stop practicing magic?! Whyyyyy?!
Hamburglar, I am your friend.
No! You aren't Ronald! He's a creepy clown, and you're just creepy!
Remember your friend, Ad Avis. Remember my voice. Remember my face. Trust me, I am your friend.
You try to struggle, but your body will not obey. You cannot even close your eyes, but you try to avoid his gaze. There is something about his eyes, though...
I am your friend, and you trust me. Trust in my words. Trust in my eyes. Look in my eyes, and trust me.
Look buddy, you can't just waltz up to me and say, "Trust me" and have me oooooooohhhhhh pretty eyes okay what is it you want me to do again
Hamburglar, I am your friend. Obey now your friend, Ad Avis. Obey now my words. Obey now my voice.
Okay seriously, you've put the whammy on me already. I don't get any more hypnotized and you're starting to get boring and repetitive.
Trust in your friend, and obey me.
FINE! WHERE ARE WE GOING?!
Hamburglar, you know me. I am your friend, Ad Avis, who helped you escape from the dungeons of Raseir. Together we seek to aid our friend, Emir Arus. I was his trusted vizier, remember?
You find yourself nodding at this humble, gentle man.
To end the evil reign of Khaveen and restore our friend the Emir Arus, together we must go out into the desert. We must journey to the Forbidden City and recover the magic item that will break the spell upon the Emir. We NEED to get the Statue of Iblis!
Yes, you know this is something you've got to do, but you frown as you try to remember something you once heard about Iblis.
Just the destruction of the whole world and whatnot. Kind of a footnote, really.
You remember the Statue of Iblis, don't you? It has remarkable powers and can break any spell it touches. We need to take the statue to Arus, our friend. Together, let us save the city of Raseir!
He puts his arm on your shoulders and you smile. Here is a man of great wisdom that you have trusted and respected, and he needs your help.
Next update soon. I was in the middle of typing it out (editing the last post) and the internet went down, so I lost all the work. Typing it up again...
Wow, a lot of people turned out for this ceremony...but what is it all about?
Heeeyyyy I recognize you, you were the Poet's friend...wait. Judgement? Surely you are simply weighing my trials?
Will anyone speak for the Stranger of the North?
We shall speak for Jethro
Shameen! Shema! Good to see you my friends.
We met Jethro.
And made some delicious food and kept a comfy bed, as I recall.
Through his courage and skills, he restored the Baron's son and daughter and banished the wicked Baba Yaga
He became Hero of Spielburg.
You two are too kind. I did have a lot of help along the way.
He journeyed with us back to to Shapeir. Here he defeated the Elementals of Fire, Air, Earth, and Water to save our city.
He is a true hero.
Thank you, I only did what I had to do.
I shall speak for Jethro.
...Walid? From the EOF initiation?
This man vanquished me in a fair fight and demonstrated great skills in combat.
I am walking muscle, but surely this is no reason to call me out.
When I lay helpless upon the ground, he was given orders by the members of EOF to kill me. Instead, he showed me mercy. This man is a true hero.
Truely, how can one slay a helpless opponent?
I shall speak for Jethro.
Yes you are! Sorry...go on.
This man of his own free will went into the desert and sought the plant-woman Julanar.
It's been so long ago, but yes, I did do that.
Through his kindness and compassion, he allowed Julanar to forget the pain and suffering of her past and to again face life with joy.
Such as it is. I hope that one comes along someday that will allow her to be human again.
This man also found a caged beast in the desert.
Make sure to thank the dervish for that as well.
Though it was wicked and most foul, Jethro turned aside its wickedness and restored its humanity. We shall hope it may learn from the kindness of the hero.
We can only hope...
*giddy* She touched me! She touched me! *cough* Thank you Aziza for your kind words.
I shall speak for Jethro.
Two beautiful ladies who wish to speak for me. Everything's coming up Jethro!
In order to escape the repression of my homeland, Raseir, I asked this stranger for aid. At the risk to his own life, he helped me escape from the city.
Awww, it was nothing ma'am.
He is a true hero.
Hey, it's your uncle! Don't you DARE lick me
Then let him have a voice that he may speak.
You offer one of your dispel potions to the Saurus.
In the original game, I think I clearly remember it stating that you're giving it a potion specially prepared by Harik...I could be wrong, makes this make more sense though
You're welcome, Roget! Er I mean Emir!
The Sultan shall speak for Jethro.
Your eminence! You are...quite familiar as well.
I am the Poet Omar, teller of tales for all to hear.
And also to listen to the city, a wise man is you.
By the words which have been spoken,
By the deeds that have been done,
I proclaim this man a hero,
I now call this man my son.
*tearing up* Your majesty, I...I'm speechless. There is no way this day could get better, no way.
I shall speak for him.
Ra...keesh?
This man has shown courage in the face of great danger, kindness to those in need, generosity to the poor, he is a man of great honor.
Rakeesh! It is only the way of the hero that I've chosen!
......Do...you mean it? Truely? You think I'm worthy? Rakeesh! I...am honored beyond belief, and do accept the title of Paladin.
Then you are now a paladin.
BEST. DAY. EVER!!!!!!
Our hero is now a Paladin.
Oh I'll just watch over someone else's shoulder or read them.
And thus our hero returns to suspended animation, for when next we meet.

Oh crap I just remembered, I "accidentally" get magic in the next game too. Going to have to control the urge to use it :P
Psh, Simbani camp? Jim's not going to have the greatest reaction to Tarna.
"Could you grab me a burger while you're out? I get paid next week, I'll pay you back I swear."
I know Piotyr wanted to wait until we all three were at the final end game sequence. Would it be alright if I went ahead and started posting that stuff just to get it off my mind? Or would you like me to wait.
I'll be back soon, I promise. The semester is over, which means I'm full-time at one of my jobs again and still part-time at my second job. I've been doing field work the last few days. Oddly enough, once school starts back up I'll be able to steamroll through this bitch again.
MP3 - Palace Assault
It's 106 feet from the palace, we got two guards at the door, one sentry on the balcony, and I forgot my sunglasses. Lets hit it.
Oh heck, alright, lets take these two guards before anymore come out.
Ah, bringing up your buddies to help you fight? All of you are just in my way. I apologize if I have to kill you but it's for the greater good.
You first? Lets see what you've got.
Not much, apparently. Your turn now.
You're the last one, sure you don't want to go running off?
Because I have the skill of ten men! That sounded so lame didn't it...
Actually, there are three, but who's counting. Now to get inside. What should I do with my newfound strength?
Indeed.
URF! Ugh it's a wonder my intelligence score doesn't get lower every time I ram myself into a door.
So long balcony sentry! Tell your guards to stay put.
Points: 5 (450) - Enter the Palace
After a length run through palace cooridors, the djinn leading the way...
Ahhh, Khaveen. Here is one man I won't feel regret for killing. You've tortured too many innocents and helped send this city into a spiral of destruction. Your life is over tonight.
Hey, it's called a soliloquy, let me voice my inner monologue! Sheesh. I guess you didn't watch any plays in that ring.
Alright, up and over!
Hi Khaveen. Miss me?
But this is as far as you'll get!
*KA-SHWING*
*KA-SHWANG*
MP3 - Combat with Khaveen
Engarde. You will not leave this room alive, Khaveen.
Hey look, an eagle!
What? Where?
Oh mother of, urrghh..
Ok those last few bashes, plus the magic, may have hurt my intelligence a little.
You'll be eating those words in three, two...
Got it.
Ahha, two can play at this game, Khaveen.
But as our hero raises his sword for the killing blow, he recalls the words of Rakeesh...
Uurrrahhh! I can't kill a weaponless man, it's not honorable.
You heard me. Lets finish the fight.
One good kick deserve a leaping slash in return.
You're weakening...
Justice...has been served.
Points: 15 (465) - Defeat Khaveen
After Ad Avis!
WILL ALL THESE DOORS PLEASE STOP HURTING ME?!
*Groans* Lets go.
MP3 - The Ritual Room
Holy crap...
What the?
Ok I have no time to stand around and fight this thing, running away!
He keeps lighting candles, lets knock them over, see if that interrupts his work.
What are you the narrator?
There! Ritual stopped!
Oh hell, he's mad.
*deep inhale as he stares at the flames* Like hell I can't.
RRAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!
*panting* That. Fire. Hurt.
We did it, didn't we...
Thank you for helping me right this wrong Djinni.
Who's the hero? Who's the awesome hero? Oh yeah.
Points: 15 (380) - Defeat Ad Avis
But the city...still mourns.
Absolutely wonderful what a little controlled magic can be used for.
What...is that who I think it is up there? What are they doing flying here?!
I...what...you mean I could have avoided 10 days of desert travel had the sultan felt good enough to fly me over?! But now he sends you, AND Shema? AND Shameen? And...wait, we're going to the palace? This might not be all bad. Lets go.
This really is one of the most nonsensical things even for this game, but just roll with it, ok?
Next: The Palace Celebration!
No, it isn't.
It's our LP! We, your fandom, demand more LP goodness! We will not stand idly by while you let "real life," whatever that is, interfere with our entertainment! Dance for us, Josh! Dance!

And since it will probably motivate me to finish, I'll just go ahead and finish screen capturing the rest of the game, so I can work on this at work tomorrow too if I snatch a second or three.
Magic User 28 - Reversal of Fortune
Ok, let's do this.
To-Do:
- 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.
But first, some appropriate music!
Hi fellas, you may have heard of me. My name is Jim Darkmagic, and there are many ways I can hurt you...
I think I'll open with a refreshing Force Bolt...
The gate is being attacked!
The more the merrier, bring it on!
Suddenly, you and the guards turn as you hear a rumbling and crashing from inside the Palace.
No! Iblis is loose!
Shit, now I have to be ruthless and efficient? Fine. I bet idiot fighter heroes don't have to deal with this effiency shit.
First, let's nail Mr. Eunuch up there in the balls head, so he doesn't sound the alarm.
And then, the only area of effect combat spell I know...Dazzle!
With the guards incapacitated, let's go for the magic trifecta and Open the door!
All too easy.
Hurry, Master! You must follow me.
Where's the fire, Djinni? Oh, right, universe destroying Iblis. Coming...
You race through the palace passageways, pausing now and again to evade scurrying guards. The Djinni of the Ring, for all of his forgetful nature, seems to have a clear idea of where he's taking you.
Through here, Master! Iblis is close, and time is short.
Well isn't this convenient.
To-Do:
-- Burn the moustache off that damned smug Khaveen's face.
Time for a well-deserved Flame Dart...
There, Master. Through that door over there is the ritual chamber where Iblis is being summoned. Let's go!
Ruining the damned moment, Djinni...
I am ordered to guard this door when I should be out leading the troops. A pox upon the head of all magicians.
Yep, let's make this Flame extra fucking hot...
You will have to give the orders. Let no one into the Palace. If a single person gets past you, I will have your head on a platter.
To hear is to obey, sir.
Little does he know they've already failed. Eat Flame, asshole!
The only purpose that served was to get Khaveen's undivided attention.
Guards! The balcony! Guards!
Fucking hell! Well...I guess I could try Calming him a bit before I roast him...
And now for the...
...that was oddly unsatisfying.
To-Do:
-- Calm the fuck out of Khaveen.
You did it! Now you must go on.
Right, more magical display. First, let's get down from the balcony the fun magical way...
Now, through the door at the top of the stairs is Iblis. There is some sort of spell on the door, but I don't know what it is. There is an awful lot of magic around here.
If only there were some way to Trigger the spell on the door from here...oh wait, there is!
Being a wizard; is there anything it can't do?
Before I go barging in there, though, I should protect myself from that fucking mind control, and that fucking shapeshift spell that Ad Avis seems to like so much. Reversal!
You are now protected by the power of Reversal.
Now, one more quick magical Opening...
...and it's time for the grand entrance!
+7 Enter Ritual Room (455/500)
Hear me, O Dark Powers! Light the darkness and bind Iblis to me forever!
You seem to have triggered a magical spell on that statue, Master.
Must not be an epic music lover. This looks like a job for another Force Bolt...
Good idea! He does look top-heavy with all those arms, doesn't he? Unfortunately, his mass is far too great for that spell to have any effect.
Fuck off, narrator! Well, if I triggered it to start, I can Trigger it to end.
Jim Darkmagic 1, Enormous Stone Golem 0. Now, cue the epic music!
That's got it, Boss! Now stop those candles!
I do like you, Djinni minion.
To-Do:
-- Stop the last light.
Hey, that totally makes sense now. I do so dislike Fetch quests though...
To-Do:
-- Stop the last light.
You! You will pay!
Finally notice me, did you? Welcome to the party, pal.
By the powers of all Darkness, by the power of my name, Shall your soul be mirrored outward, and your body be the same!
Now that was more satisfying. You know, Ad, for a master wizard, you do like to use the same spell over and over again. Smart people may catch on to the pattern.
Stop him, Master! Don't let him cast that spell!
A naked lady runaway princess told me you fear Flame. Let's test that theory...
Everything just bounces off that human, Boss. You better try something else, quick!
So, it appears you also have a Reversal spell...
The spell is about to go off! It'll get you for sure!
Oh, I've got an idea! I can Force that flaming brazier to tip over onto him!
Fucking physics! I need to find a way to tip it the other way!
Turns out I'm fucking terrified of flame too. Let's try that again, with more physics...
+25 Defeat Ad Avis (480/500)
To-Do:
-- Free the people from Ad Avis, the Elemental's Master
We did it! Hurray!
And I'm slowly making my way up the wizard totem pole...
Thank You, Master. Now I can take Iblis back to his tomb where he will be safe for another thousand years and a year.
Oh right! And that whole "saving the world" thing. That was nice too!
I knew I would remember it! This is the real prophecy...
Would've been handy information a set and a half ago, but hey.
Bye bye, Master. It's been fun!
Wait, faithful minion! Damn. Well, this definitely calls for a pose!
With the help of the slave woman Mayzun, you found the Emir Ali hiding in his bedroom. With your urging (and a few sharp remarks from Mayzun), the Emir swore he'd restore the city. By the first light of dawn, the Emir Ali al-Din Hasan ordered all fighting to cease and proclaimed the evil rule of Ad Avis and Khaveen to be over. As the Emir began an incredibly dull speech, you slipped away to complete your quest.
I did what now?
Oh right, that dump of a fountain. I never did get much use out of this damned Water Elemental. Hey, Flow! Earn your keep!
That...was far more effective than I thought it'd be.
Hey guys! Just in time to...miss all the fucking incredible magical action!
The Sultan personally sent me to return you to his Palace, Hero of all Shapeir.
Man, I need to keep you around just for the creative titles.
To-Do:
- Be a Hero Raseir style
-- Restore Emir Arus (1000 dinar reward)
The Sultan you say? Sounds like the place to go for buckets of money glory and honor.
+20 Attend celebration at Sultan's Palace (500/500)
Jim Darkmagic, thou shalt stand before the Sultan Harun al Rashid (May He Reign Forever!) to be judged.
Wait. Judged?!
Will anyone speak for the Stranger of the North?
We shall speak for Jim Darkmagic.
We met Jim Darkmagic. Through his courage and skills, he restored the Baron's son and daughter and banished the wicked Baba Yaga. He became Hero of Spielburg.
I totally owe you a drink, Shameen.
He journeyed with us back to Shapeir. Here he defeated the Elementals of Fire, Air, Earth and Water to save our city. He is a true hero.
You like me!
Who will speak for this Hero of Spielburg?
*gulp* Someone else?!
I shall speak for Jim Darkmagic.
You like me?
This man of his own free will went into the desert and sought the plant-woman Julanar. Through his kindness and compassion, he allowed Julanar to forget the pain and suffering of her past and to again face life with joy.
And the Fruit of Compassion!
This man also found a caged beast in the desert. Though it was wicked and most foul,
And totally not a hot blonde!
Jim Darkmagic turned aside its wickedness and restored its humanity. We shall hope it may learn from the kindness of the hero. This man is a true hero.
Who will speak for this man of kindness?
Oh come on, I'm not going to keep getting this lucky! Now we're upping the ante to kindness?!
I shall speak for Jim Darkmagic.
Do I know you?
Oh, you look way different with your clothes on when not disguised as me.
In order to escape the repression of my homeland, Raseir, I asked this stranger for aid. At the risk to his own life, he helped me escape the city. He is a true hero.
Call me!
Who will speak for this man of courage?
Oh for fuck's sake!
Gronk!
Oh yeah, I totally forgot about missed you, buddy!
Then let him have a voice that he may speak.
You offer one of your dispel potions to the Saurus.
To-Do:
-- Restore Emir Arus (1000 dinar reward)
Probably should've tried that a month ago. My bad!
When Ad Avis transformed me into a Saurus, I lost all hope of returning to my own form. Yet this man showed me his courage, kindness, and honor, and I knew that Jim Darkmagic would restore me.
Who will speak for this man of honor?
The hell? I don't think there's anyone left. I even used the saurus!
The Sultan shall speak for Jim Darkmagic.
Wait a second, you look familiar...just can't place the face...
I am the Poet Omar, teller of tales for all to hear.
Oh shit. So, that stolen purse...did you ever figure out who took it? Because I feel like shit about that now.
By the words which have been spoken,
By the deeds that have been done,
I proclaim this man a hero,
I now call this man my son.
Wow. Prince of Shapeir, then? I guess there's only one thing left to do...
C'mon, saurus. Let's go watch the moon rise.
Until next time!
Points tally (starting from 448):
+7 Enter Ritual Room
+25 Defeat Ad Avis
+20 Attend Judgment
Total: 500 points out of 500
Just barely squeezed it all in there. 1 character to spare!
Not at all - those were pretty damn sweet.
Also, "Calm the fuck out of Khaveen" should've got you bonus points.

Clearly this makes even less sense than the flying carpet thing.
Who cares? That blonde hero is so bad-ass that when he enters the picture, shit just happens.
Whatever it is, I didn't do it.
You are under arrest for breaking the law of Raseir on this day, the 29th of the Serpent, Year of the Djinn. Come quietly, or you will be taken by force.
Well, at least you didn't say, "...taken roughly from behind." I'm coming, but I'm not saying a thing! And I want my phone call! Get me my lawyer, split up my dividends and double my reimbursement investitures! Then come see me in an hour and tell me what the hell I'm talking about.
You follow the guards through the dark streets, past the gates of the palace, and into the dungeon of Raseir.
After being dragged to the dungeon of the palace, you were roughly searched, beaten, and questioned by the guards. They warned you that Khaveen will be coming soon to personally question you...
...and that you won't enjoy it.
Well, I'm not alone, that's something. What's your name, little kitty?
Hey, I'm a prisoner, not a guard. You have no reason to be afraid of me until you get out of here and find something shiny, like this pin here that the guards forgot to take off me.
The katta stands up.
Erm, yes! I am extremely trusted, and so once we're clear of this prison, you should immediately give your valuables to me for safekeeping. Since I'm so trustworthy.
Well, Katta-friend, let us escape this very dangerous place.
It's actually sort of cozy, compared to where I've been sleeping.
And how did they find that out, I wonder? Did they all have Magic Trust Pins, too?
The entrance to the passageway should be here... Yes, it is here. Lend your strong shoulder to the task.
Ugh, manual labor. Fine. As long as it means freedom.
I have helped others escape through the secret passageways. Do not fear. I will lead you to safety through the passageways, Katta-friend. Perhaps, before you leave, you should pick up your equipment over there near the cell. But do not dally too long, or the guards will surely come.
They call me Captain Obvious because I say things that are obvious.
You recover all of your equipment. The Katta leads you through dark passages under the Palace to a secret exit into the Raseir streets.
What is the point of such a secret passage, I wonder? Perhaps the people who run this prison like to give prisoners a sporting chance? The katta couldn't move the entrance by themselves, so clearly they didn't make it.
Just repeat to yourself, "It's just a Let's Play, I should really just relax."
Well... it didn't start out that way, but it sure as hell is looking to end up that way.
I am impressed by your sense of honor, yet despite your previous heroics I think you will need assistance in taking down the entire Raseirian regime. I believe you should lay low for now, friend of the Katta. If you are captured again, they will surely kill you on sight. Tomorrow night, the Underground will launch an attack on the Palace in an attempt to overthrow the Emir.
That's not really my style, pal. You guys would make a good distraction for about 5 minutes, though.
If you can manage to stay out of Khaveen's hands for one more day, you would be a very valuable ally to us.
Okay. Say, Shema and Shameen asked me to look out for a katta named Sharaf. That wouldn't happen to be...
My name, Sharaf, means 'honor'.
Hey, cool, Sharaf! I'm glad the deputy got shot instead of you. Say, doesn't Khaveen suck?
It is rumored that Khaveen is but a tool for someone more cruel and powerful. Someone who uses magic to rule Raseir. Khaveen is the most feared man in all Raseir, although rumor has it he is not the most powerful.
I hold that title, pleased to say. Welp, see ya, Sharaf.
You are right. Our chances of avoiding capture will be greater if we split up. Do not return to the Blue Parrot. Those scoundrels will not hesitate to turn you in once they hear Khaveen is looking for you. Avoid the guards at all costs, as they will soon know of our escape. May we both fare well, Hero-Friend.
You keep talking to me like I'm some amateur, yet you were the one stuck in a cage until I got there. Ah well. Hope you're not roadkill next time I see you.
Tum de dum
AHHH! She said it wasn't contagious!
Say, I've seen your picture before. In WIT. Why did I stop practicing magic?! Whyyyyy?!
Hamburglar, I am your friend.
No! You aren't Ronald! He's a creepy clown, and you're just creepy!
Remember your friend, Ad Avis. Remember my voice. Remember my face. Trust me, I am your friend.
You try to struggle, but your body will not obey. You cannot even close your eyes, but you try to avoid his gaze. There is something about his eyes, though...
I am your friend, and you trust me. Trust in my words. Trust in my eyes. Look in my eyes, and trust me.
Look buddy, you can't just waltz up to me and say, "Trust me" and have me oooooooohhhhhh pretty eyes okay what is it you want me to do again
Hamburglar, I am your friend. Obey now your friend, Ad Avis. Obey now my words. Obey now my voice.
Okay seriously, you've put the whammy on me already. I don't get any more hypnotized and you're starting to get boring and repetitive.
Trust in your friend, and obey me.
FINE! WHERE ARE WE GOING?!
Hamburglar, you know me. I am your friend, Ad Avis, who helped you escape from the dungeons of Raseir. Together we seek to aid our friend, Emir Arus. I was his trusted vizier, remember?
You find yourself nodding at this humble, gentle man.
To end the evil reign of Khaveen and restore our friend the Emir Arus, together we must go out into the desert. We must journey to the Forbidden City and recover the magic item that will break the spell upon the Emir. We NEED to get the Statue of Iblis!
Yes, you know this is something you've got to do, but you frown as you try to remember something you once heard about Iblis.
Just the destruction of the whole world and whatnot. Kind of a footnote, really.
You remember the Statue of Iblis, don't you? It has remarkable powers and can break any spell it touches. We need to take the statue to Arus, our friend. Together, let us save the city of Raseir!
He puts his arm on your shoulders and you smile. Here is a man of great wisdom that you have trusted and respected, and he needs your help.
DAAHHHHH HOKAY
WHO DISTURBS MY SLUMBER
Wow, a lot of people turned out for this ceremony...but what is it all about?
Heeeyyyy I recognize you, you were the Poet's friend...wait. Judgement? Surely you are simply weighing my trials?
Will anyone speak for the Stranger of the North?
We shall speak for Jethro
Shameen! Shema! Good to see you my friends.
We met Jethro.
And made some delicious food and kept a comfy bed, as I recall.
Through his courage and skills, he restored the Baron's son and daughter and banished the wicked Baba Yaga
He became Hero of Spielburg.
You two are too kind. I did have a lot of help along the way.
He journeyed with us back to to Shapeir. Here he defeated the Elementals of Fire, Air, Earth, and Water to save our city.
He is a true hero.
Thank you, I only did what I had to do.
I shall speak for Jethro.
...Walid? From the EOF initiation?
This man vanquished me in a fair fight and demonstrated great skills in combat.
I am walking muscle, but surely this is no reason to call me out.
When I lay helpless upon the ground, he was given orders by the members of EOF to kill me. Instead, he showed me mercy. This man is a true hero.
Truely, how can one slay a helpless opponent?
I shall speak for Jethro.
Yes you are! Sorry...go on.
This man of his own free will went into the desert and sought the plant-woman Julanar.
It's been so long ago, but yes, I did do that.
Through his kindness and compassion, he allowed Julanar to forget the pain and suffering of her past and to again face life with joy.
Such as it is. I hope that one comes along someday that will allow her to be human again.
This man also found a caged beast in the desert.
Make sure to thank the dervish for that as well.
Though it was wicked and most foul, Jethro turned aside its wickedness and restored its humanity. We shall hope it may learn from the kindness of the hero.
We can only hope...
*giddy* She touched me! She touched me! *cough* Thank you Aziza for your kind words.
I shall speak for Jethro.
Two beautiful ladies who wish to speak for me. Everything's coming up Jethro!
In order to escape the repression of my homeland, Raseir, I asked this stranger for aid. At the risk to his own life, he helped me escape from the city.
Awww, it was nothing ma'am.
He is a true hero.
Hey, it's your uncle! Don't you DARE lick me
Then let him have a voice that he may speak.
You offer one of your dispel potions to the Saurus.
In the original game, I think I clearly remember it stating that you're giving it a potion specially prepared by Harik...I could be wrong, makes this make more sense though
You're welcome, Roget! Er I mean Emir!
The Sultan shall speak for Jethro.
Your eminence! You are...quite familiar as well.
I am the Poet Omar, teller of tales for all to hear.
And also to listen to the city, a wise man is you.
By the words which have been spoken,
By the deeds that have been done,
I proclaim this man a hero,
I now call this man my son.
*tearing up* Your majesty, I...I'm speechless. There is no way this day could get better, no way.
I shall speak for him.
Ra...keesh?
This man has shown courage in the face of great danger, kindness to those in need, generosity to the poor, he is a man of great honor.
Rakeesh! It is only the way of the hero that I've chosen!
......Do...you mean it? Truely? You think I'm worthy? Rakeesh! I...am honored beyond belief, and do accept the title of Paladin.
Then you are now a paladin.
BEST. DAY. EVER!!!!!!
Our hero is now a Paladin.
Oh I'll just watch over someone else's shoulder or read them.
And thus our hero returns to suspended animation, for when next we meet.
Till the next game!
Yeah - it's like they suddenly got a better budget.

You were given a special one if you somehow skipped over helping the Julinar.
