- How did I get here?
- Who brought me here?
- How in blazes can I get out of here?
At least I know where that bush in goo was. It was near that swamp to the south...
Wait a second, this isn't the swamp I...
Hello there. Could you help me? This water is so cold, and I need someone to help warm me.
Yes, mysterious hot nude woman in the lake. Yes, I can help you. We can help each other.
Come to Jim. Jim's gonna make it all better.
Helloooo Nurse.
Okay, a little tight there. At least buy me a drink first...
The lake spirit moans softly as she holds you closer and closer and tighter and tighter, then pulls you down into the lake.
Wait...lake spirit?
To-Do:
- Heads up for a Rusalka
Ahh...fuck.
That's not what I mean by a drink...
Maybe we should take this a little slower...I know! I got these flowers. Do you like flowers?
Thank you for the beautiful flowers. I guess I shouldn't try to drown you now, since you've been so kind.
+6 Get the Rusalka to like you (101)
That's a good start! So, I was looking for the swamp and ended up here. You familiar at all with the swamp?
This lake is surrounded on three sides by steep mountains. To the southwest, it merges with the swamp. The lake is not a safe place for you to swim. Many unpleasant things lurk in the deep water.
Not to mention very pleasant things...that kill me. What about the swamp, though?
The swamp is definitely a creepy place. Dead things lie under the water and try to drag the living underneath.
And that sounds totally different from this lake...
Kind of sounds like my job description, doesn't it? Well, the things in the swamp are a whole lot naster than I am, so be careful there.
So...what's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?
I don't really know. I've been here for such a long time now. It's not like I can go anywhere. I can't leave the lake. It's my job to drown anyone who comes to the lake. That's what being a Rusalka is all about.
Think I'll take the scenic route around the lake to the swamp, then, thanks. I'd like to help, but I don't think I'm qualified for it. Maybe another hero will come along some day and fix you up.
You don't think I'm some kind of monster, do you? I mean, just because I'm undead and drown people, you don't think I'm bad?
...you don't look bad, but all the same, I don't think it'll work out between us. You see, I do kind of enjoy being alive. Hang in there, though, I bet somebody will come around...eventually.
To-Do: - Heads up for a Rusalka
Southwest of the lake, then...
There we go...
...and here we are. Finally, some use for magic! I almost forget what spells I even have.
The bush seems to be stuck; it looks as though it is caught in the rocks.

All too easy. Now to get that clue from the Leshy.

+2 Solve Leshy bush in goo riddle (118)
Six and seven make thirteen; plant it in a garden green. Flowers bloom and waters flow; plant the bush where it will grow.
A garden, eh? I had been meaning to find Erana's Garden anyway, so fine, Leshy, I will play your game a while longer. Fuck with me, though, and I will alter the deal.
Now, to find that garden...
To-Do:
- Answer Leshy's Riddles - Plant the bush in (Erana's?) garden.
You have come to a beautiful garden deep within the forest. A stream flows gently in a loop around the central island. Feelings of peace and harmony permeate the area.
Well...this looks promising. And it looks like someone just dug a hole here...specifically bonsai-bush sized. I hope nobody sees me doing this shit by hand, though. Still wish I had that damned 'Put' spell.
+6 Plant bonsai in Erana's Garden (124)
To-Do:
- Answer Leshy's Riddles - Plant the bush in (Erana's?) garden.
You plant the bonsai in the hole and scrape some of the rich soil around it. In moments the bush begins to grow and blossom before your eyes!
I'm no plant expert, but the doubling in size tells me I did something right. Now...can I Detect anything else magical around here?

You feel a surge of power as the magical energy from the fruit releases itself into your system.
Finally, a replacement for a mana potion. Fuck you, Dr. Crazium, I'll restore my own magic. All the same, though, I wish someone witnessed this shit. Hardly worth the effort just for my own benefit. Ahh well, still a master wizard!
Now to see if the Leshy is still playing games...
Leshy, I will burn down the entire fucking forest if you don't cut the shit right now. I planted the bush, now be useful!
Oops. Hi there. Three and three and three make nine; who lives among the watery brine? Fishy, squishy riddles make; tell me now who's in the lake?
Hey, I know this one! It's the Rusalka (and recently me)!
+2 Answer Leshy Rusalka riddle (132)
One and two and three make six, who hides her hut behind trick sticks? Magic Message: "Bushes Hear!" End the rhyme with 'Disappear!'"
To-Do:
- Answer Leshy's Riddles - Hut hidden behind yet another bush.
What's this? Leshy with some useful information? Maybe I won't end you with Flame, Force and Lightning after all. I won't rule it out for sure, yet, certainly, but you were actually helpful!
Getting late, though, so I'll have to finish this bush exploration tomorrow. Have to get back to the town before dark, because they take that "lock the gate" shit very seriously.
Well, that was a full day. I earned a full night's sleep.
Wait, what was that? If those fucking bar patrons woke me up, I'm heading back into the "murder the townspeople" solution for fixing this place.
I...huh. Either I'm still actually sleeping, or there's a blue man on the fireplace.
Practice? We're talking about practice? I'm already a seasoned hero, blue...what are you called again?
Domovoi I am. Domovoi I be. Over places, Domovoi watch. Protect the inn, I do. By big people, Domovoi not seen. You stranger are, maybe Hero, maybe not. Show myself to you I do. Speak to you I will. Maybe good things for people will you do. Maybe good thing for Domovoi you do. Some night soon, talk we will again. Domovoi good luck bring. maybe Domovoi help you, you Domovoi help.
Okay, I got it...Domovoi, fuck. Now, though...sleep.
This place is fucked up beyond all recognition.

It's not that bizarre really. It just takes a few liberties with eastern european mythology (like how Spielburg was Germanic, Shapier was Arabian, Tarna Africa and Silmaria is Greek). Because of these games I actually started looking into those original stories and such.
This seems to be the most bizarre of the QFGs so far, and that's saying something. Kudos for keeping up the Let's Play!
If anything, there's just so much going on between proving yourself to the townspeople and (almost completely unrelated!) tracking down the rituals, not to mention that all of it is pretty open to do whenever you want, it's difficult to keep everything flowing in some kind of sensible narrative.
I did the monastery really early in the story, because it's what establishes the Dark One plot line with the rituals, which are all over the place (and I've barely touched on them so far). After that, I thought it made sense to do the series of Leshy riddles, because it works pretty well as kind of an introduction to everything in the surrounding area.
I have about 320 images to sort through for the next section. I kind of want to do it all in one because everything works so well together, but...320 images is like 3 sets worth.
I'll try to get it done before I leave for vacation tonight, but if I don't, then don't think I abandoned this. Just that I do things on occasion besides sit at my computer writing LP scripts.

So, I need to find another bush, this one fake. Breakfast first, then.
It's a garlic souffle, Mordavian style.
At this rate, I'm building up an immunity to vampires (and love interests, come to think of it). So, I hear your daughter was stolen by gypsies?
...
I'm not sure if you knew this yet, but I don't do subtle...I'll just let myself out.
First I'd better check if Crazium has that Reanimation Potion figured out yet.
Hi, crazy old man. No, haven't seen Anna. Keep asking, though, I'm sure she'll turn up...*cough* Psycho *cough*
So, any new magic science potions?
Ah, you are just in time to witness a magnificent scientific experiment. I have managed to harness the very primal force of lightning at my beck and call. Now I shall use it to create life itself!
At least it sounds promising.
Make that sounded promising. Let me know when you do something useful. For now, I need to track down a fake bush.
Ok, bush. Where might you be? What spells can I use to find you?
A veritable army of spells, but not a single detect bush spell. And I'd have had so many uses for it! Oh well, I guess it's exploring montage time.
Bush?
BUSH!
BUUUUUUUUSH!!!!
These bushes look as though someone planted them there deliberately.
That sounds promising. I know the Leshy gave me a password, but a true wizard needs no cheap parlor tricks. Detect Magic!
An enchantment has been placed on the hedge to the west.
So...Trigger that shit.
Now, who might be hiding behind the fake bush...?
Skulls line the pathway to a most peculiar chicken-legged hut. There can't be many like it -- this must be Baba Yaga's hut, last seen in Spielburg!
+6 Locate Baba Yaga's Hut (138)
What are the fucking odds? Wonder if she's still a frog. Wait till she gets a load of me now, she'll beg for forgiveness!
Oh, you. You probably don't remember me, but I'm your worst nightmare. Stand...err, hang aside, Skullsy.
Wait a second, don't I know you from somewhere? Yeah, you're the guy that turned Baba Yaga into a frog! So what are you doing here? Trying out for the part of soup du jour or auditioning for the main course?
I've become far more powerful than you could ever imagine. What about that ogress, still hopping mad?
She's back ta her old self, if ya knows what I mean. Other than a craving occasionally for flies, and a distaste for frog legs, she's the same as ever.
So, same routine, then? I have some measuring up to take care of.
You mean the 'Hut of Brown, Now Sit Down' sorta thing the last time you was by? Well, that don't work any more. Just go up ta the hut, and it'll squat and let you in, if it wants you in.
I'm pretty persuasive.
I wouldn't do that if I were you. Don't come back unless ya got a reason ta be here.
Bah. One of these days, Bonehead...oh well, at least I can answer the Leshy riddle now.
No more beating around the bush, Leshy. Baba Yaga is your answer.

Baba, baby, that's the one -- an Ogress who is lots of fun! Guessing answers without knowing? Check your guesses first by going!
Hey, fucker, trust me, I've been there, done that. I don't need to go into the chicken hut to recognize it from three games ago, asshole.
...
To-Do:
- Answer Leshy's Riddles - Have to actually see Baba Yaga and have a reason to do it.
No more rhymes until I actually see Baba Yaga? Fuck! Now I need to murder something senseless to feel better...
Necrotaur, meet Flame, Force and Lightning. Magical arsenal, meet Necrotaur.
Also...fuuuuck, that hurt. Oh well...
To-Do: - Introduce Necrotaur to Flame, Force and Lightning
- Solve the rainbow crypt puzzle
May as well have a go at that crypt puzzle again, since there's nothing better to do.
Open...
Lights...
I guess those Borgovs liked rainbows? Too bad the last Borgov wasn't named Roy G Biv or anything like that, would've made this easy...although...BORGYV is pretty close, let's try Blue-Orange-Red-Green-Yellow-Violet.
Or even better, I could just spell out BORGOV with the colors Blue-Orange-Red-Green-Orange-Violet.
Damn, I was hoping this was the Mad Monk's tomb and I had just found another Ritual. Oh well, I have an idea about this key anyway from an earlier lock I couldn't fucking Open...
Success!
This is new. Wait, am I...?
After following the dark passage for several minutes, you come out into a castle chamber. The bookcase closes behind you, and there is no obvious way to open it again.
+6 Take Secret Passage to Castle (146)
Maybe now I can finally figure out where Katrina went...and get some!
Certainly a lot of empty rooms.
Although, the poisonous bat room is worse. More empty rooms, please!
A dead end? This can't be right, there's no other way to go!
This must have been the Boyar's personal reading room, since his crest decorates the top of the shelf. The Boyar's crest looks slightly crooked.
I'm too obsessive to let that shit stand! Let's Fetch that shit to fix it!
...just as I planned!
Now this is different. Katrina's room? I'm just now starting to feel a little...stalker-ish...oh well, that'll pass. Heroing, am I right?
Life!...sort of...
I have no desire to break into a dungeon right now, so let's try another way...
De Master is really somting, ain't she?
Yeah.
I even likes da kid. Shame dey keep her all de way on the odder side of de castle.
Yeah.
It's de Adda Bees guy I can't stand. He looks at us like we was food or somting.
You gots it. Dat guy gives me da creeps.
...okay, that was a shit ton of useful info. The Master of the Castle is...a she?! And her kid (Katrina?) is on the other side of the castle? Have to hurry!
To the other side!
Ooh, I bet this safe has some great stuff. Open!
Ka-blooie! You got the chest open, but set off an explosion in the process -- the chest was trapped.
...I'm sure...nobody heard that...I'm about as stealthy as the average Goon.
You take 15 Crowns from a pouch in the safe. The safe also contains several papers and some old clothes, but they have deteriorated with age and are worthless, so you leave them.
Money! Papers? Fuck them.
Definitely not abandoned. Must hurry.
Something on the other side of this door...it has to be Ka...
...ckblock? I was not expecting a little girl with a gorilla, I'll be honest with you.
:shock: Uhh...hi, I'm Jim Darkmagic, legendary hero and master wizard, and...I have no idea what I'm doing here right now. I am lost for words for the first time...ever.
Hello. Do you live in the castle now? I never met a real hero before. Why did you come here?
Actually, I was looking for a woman named Katrina, and I thought she might be in the castle here, so I...and none of that is important now. Do you have a name?
My name is Tanya. This is Toby.
Now that I think of it, the innkeepers lost a girl a while back. You didn't happen to be stolen by gypsies, did you?
I miss Mommy and Daddy. But I can never go home. My Mommy and Daddy don't like me anymore. I did something bad, and now they don't want to see me ever again.
I...don't think that's true, Tanya. They're a mess without you. The whole town is. How did you get here, anyway? What happened?
Sometimes I miss Mommy and Daddy.
Grugha rourror.
I know, Toby, you and Aunt Trina take good care of me. I wouldn't want to leave you ever. But I still miss my Mommy. Toby used to visit me at the Inn. Mommy and Daddy would not like it if they saw Toby. They wouldn't let me play with him. So I didn't tell them about him.
One day Toby brought me a beautiful doll. I never had a real doll before. I named her Vana. When my Mommy saw Vana, she got real mad. She tried to tmake me tell about Toby. My Mommy and Daddy yelled at me. They scared me. They took Vana away and wouldn't let me see her ever again. I didn't want them to do that to Toby. So I ran away with him.
Aunt Trina says Mommy and Daddy won't like me now. They will be scared of me, like they were scared of Vana. I won't want Mommy and Daddy scared of me. I'll never go back again.
Was Vana a...vampire, too?
That's a scary thing. That's how come we always used to have garlic all around at the Inn. Mommy and me used to braid the garlic and put it up all over the place to keep out the Bad Things. I don't like the smell of garlic. I had to wear garlic around my neck all the time. Now I have a really pretty necklace instead. See? Isn't it pretty?
A long time ago I used to live at the Inn. Now I get to live here. I don't have to be afraid of the Bad Things all the time.
You know...I should probably get going, before I end up having to stay here permanently.
Goodbye. You should come back and talk some time. I'll tell Aunt Trina that I want to see you again.
That is a bad idea on so many levels, so let's just keep that a surprise for Katrina, ok?
Good. I love surprises. Toby, you have to keep this secret, too.

I'm not sure, but I think Tanya's VA did Moaning Myrtle in the Harry Potter films.
They sound similiar to me anyway.
Tanya's VA is actually the voice of Minnie Mouse. No, seriously.
Also, I didn't mention it before, but Boris Stovich is voiced by Jim Cummings, who has voiced...well, like thousands of famous voices. Most famously, though, Winnie the Pooh and Tigger.

Hey, isn't that...
It is good to see you again. I hope you are enjoying your visit to Mordavia. You need to take better care of yourself, you know. It is very dangerous out at night.
Dangerous? A few ghosts and bats, nothing Jim Darkmagic hasn't handled before!
Why, you've been injured! Take this and drink it, it should help. I would be most displeased...I mean, sorry, if something were to happen to you.

You flatter me. It's nice to have someone so handsome and attractive as you say such things to me.
Heh, handsome. I'm also a renowned hero, you know. I've saved countless villages, and am known in parts of the world as the Hero of Spielburg, Prince of Shapeir, Doom of Tarna...
How fascinating. I've never met a true Hero before. You must tell me more some time.

Whew!
Okay...everyone sees the gnome on the barrel, right?
Oh, this ought to be a fucking riot. Okay, fine, I'll humor you for now. All you need is to be funnier than the impressionists in the bar. It's a low bar.
Good Evening, ladies and germs. A funny thing happened on the way to Mordavia -- I got here.
I walked up ta the innkeeper here and says to the guy, 'Do you know how lucky you are to have such a funny guy as myself staying here?' The innkeeper said, 'No, but if you hum a few bars, I can fake it.'
You may as well laugh now. This act doesn't get any funnier.
Oh, he's not kidding. If you really need to hear the whole act, listen to the audio.
Whew! The Gnome has stopped speaking. Maybe he's finished telling his joke. You think about applauding, but you're not quite sure if you've heard the punchline yet.
What did you think of my performance? Was I hilarious or what?
...What?
Is this an inn or a cemetery? I've had livelier times at funerals. Some help you were, couldn't you at least have smiled a little louder?
I'm staying at this inn for a while until I find something here. I've got the last door down the hall. Visit me sometime. I'm sure we can have a few laughs together.
Hey, as long as you also think you being set on fire is funny. I'll keep you in mind, though.
To-Do:

Hey, what am I, shredded wheat? If you're talking behind my back, at least have the courtesy to do it face to face.
On second thought, I'd better get to my room before I torch this entire place in anger. Good night.
Yes, he is sleeping. Most likely in the inn, although it is hard to focus the vision enough to tell.
I do not understand why you did not just capture him in the first place. These charades you play are foolish.
Silence! To serve us, it will be for the best if he acts under his own free will. Why make an enemy out of a willing tool? Ah, but I forget, he is already YOUR enemy
This is not someone to play games with, I say. If he finds out what is going on, he will never cooperate. Besides, you risk his death -- Mordavia is a very dangerous place.
I think he is quite capable of taking care of himself. Besides, I have ways of making him cooperate, as you well know. I will use them only if I must.

I suppose I'll just knock politely, since that's kind of my bread and butter with these door situations...
A voice from behind the door says, "Oops, sorry! Seems I forgot about my burglar alarm. Hope it wasn't too shocking for you!"
I may be a lousy thief, but I'm an excellent wizard. Not sure what enrages me more, the bad puns or the fact that I fell for a fucking door trap.
Halloo, howarya? Come in and have a sit, why doncha?
As you sit down, a rude noise comes from the chair seat.
Ha, ha, ha! Gets ya every time! A million laughts! How are ya, gouda see ya! Nice aya to drop in. Speaking a dropping in, did ya hear the one about the bad waiter? Seems he was always dropping in! Dropping in! Get it? Didn't think so. No one gots a sense a humor anymore. Not even me.
You'll lose a lot more than a sense of humor unless you cut the shit right the fuck now. I am Jim Darkmagic, Hero of Spielburg, Prince of Shapeir, Doom of Tarna, and a Wizard you should not be fucking trifling with!
What was that you were saying about saving Spielburg?
Oh, you know, not much, I just murdered a species, put the brigands out of business, destroyed a kobold wizard just because I could, saved the Baron's children and cleared an ogress out of town using her own curse. Perhaps you've heard of me.
So you're the guy that made me lose my sensa humor. If ya hadn't made Baba Yaga mad, I never woulda told the joke that made her take my humor away.
Wait, you really did lose your sense of humor? For realsies?
She has no sensa humor whatsoever, lemme tell ya. I was just telling a joke about how some Hero got Baba baby hopping made and fit ta be toad. How was I to know she was in the audience at the time?
Anyhow, Baba Yaga stands up, says some bad poetry, and the next thing I know my jokes are jumbled and my puns are pathetic. So here I am in nowhere land trying ta locate Baba Yaga soze I can get the curse removed and my humor returned.
Well, gnome, you're in luck. I'll take on the case of the missing humor, for the good of everyone's sanity around here (well, what's left of it, anyway). Plus, it gives me an actual reason to be there, so Skullsy can let me by.
To-Do:
- Help the townspeople so they like me
-- Punny Bones - Gnome Jester. Lost something, hopefully his sense of humorBaba Yaga stole his humor. No, really.
Now, what's that on your bed, some kind of...chicken?
The chicken seems to be made out of rubber. "What's rubber?" you wonder. You also consider how it would taste cooked in garlic.
Okay, I'm too curious. Consider this your down payment for the case, Gnome. And don't speak again, because I'm this close to making my own gnome ice sculpture, because I actually have an ice spell now.
+2 Get Rubber Chicken from Punny Bones' room (154)
Now...breakfast?
So, guys, what's this I hear about your daughter running away?
...
Err, I mean...thanks for the immunity to vampires!...I'll just let myself out again.
First I'd better check if Crazium finished that reanimation potion yet. All the dead and undead shit around here, I'm going to need a barrel of that stuff.
Hey, crazy Nikolai. Keep on living there, I may yet find a solution to your sanity problem.
I believe I am on the verge of a major discovery! It came to me last night -- I believe that there is a formula which can be used to create a Rehydration Solution!
Such a solution could be used to restore fluidity to any substance or object that has become prematurely dry. Why, if we can but manufacture Dr. Cranium's Rehydration Solution in sufficient quantities, we could rehydrate the great Shapeirian desert!
Now we're talking, finally. The reanimation potion! Now let me see that manual for the elemental formula...
+2 Give Rehydration Solution formula (156)
Yes, that sounds just right! By the way, I could use some Grue Goo for one of my experiments. It would be most kind if you could bring me some when you return for the Rehydration Solution.
I have your Rehydration Solution all ready. I will be happy to exchange it for a flask of Grue Goo. When you bring me the Goo I will give you your Solution.
No sweat, I know exactly where the goo is. A bottle of goo in exchange for the ability to reanimate the dead? It's a steal!
To-Do:
- Help the townspeople so they like me
-- Dr. Crazium - The fluid? ...Reanimation potion? Goo in exchange for reanimation? All too easy.
Empty flask, meet goo. Goo, flask. Everyone wins.
+6 Acquire Grue Goo (162)
Now, wasn't there something else I was supposed to do with this squid stone?
To-Do:
- Rituals of the Dark One:
-- First - Mad Monk's Tombstone, guarded by followers
-- Second - Stone of Squids, revealed by light of dead child's soul
-- Third - Hollow of the Hangman's Tree, guarded by the spirit there
-- 4. Blood - Acquired in Monastery
-- Fifth (Mouth) - In Great Arch under Dark One's Sign
-- Sixth (Heart) - Given to Gregor - missing and likely dead, though
Hmm...I can't even pretend to have a dead child's soul right now. There's that vampiric child Tanya, but I'm not even sure she has her soul at this point.
I'll have to remember to check that flora and fauna manual in the Adventurer's Guild, to see if that can give me any clues as to dead children's souls around here.
To-Do: - Check "manual" for evidence of a dead child's soul around Mordavia.
Now, back to deliver...
Hmm...I wonder if there's anything interesting in that swamp. Any spells I have that can assist that?
Looks like a combination of Protection, Reversal and Glide should make this easy.
As you start to Glide, you realize the only way to get back up to dry areas will be to grab hold of something and pull yourself up.
Bah, technicalities. Let's do some exploring!
Muck...
Muck...
Spooks! How cute, they think they're spellcasters. Hi, guys, Jim Darkmagic here, and I'm afraid you're well out of your league here. You can't even do damage to me, as a matter of fact, thanks to Reversal.
Now I, on the other hand, appear to be able to do considerable damage to you. And it also just so happens I've been practically begging to burn something all morning, so...yay me, I guess.
Now, what's this stone you were so adamantly guarding for what must have been a long fucking time.
The standing stone looks like a crude, oversized tombstone. It features an inset six-pointed star figure similar to the one on the Monastery door. The points are slightly curved like the arms of a starfish. Arcane symbols label each point of the star.
This Dark One sign is just the gift that keeps on giving, eh?
Let's see, if I know my arcane symbols, those symbols look like a Mouth, Bones, Blood, Breath, Sense, Heart, and Essence. Anything I know of related to those symbols?
To-Do:
- Rituals of the Dark One:
-- First - Mad Monk's Tombstone, guarded by followers
-- Second - Stone of Squids, revealed by light of dead child's soul
-- Third - Hollow of the Hangman's Tree, guarded by the spirit there
-- 4. Blood - Acquired in Monastery
-- Fifth (Mouth) - In Great Arch under Dark One's Sign
-- Sixth (Heart) - Given to Gregor - missing and likely dead, though
+6 Find the Mad Monk's tomb in the swamp (168)
Mad Monk's Tombstone, I presume, then? Too bad about the followers, I guess. They were somewhat worthy target practice. Guess I'll just turn the Sign to the symbols in order, then.
Finally you feel the Dark One Sign settle. You pull on it, opening the Tomb, and retrieve a damp but readable scroll from its depths. It is the Dark One's Bone Ritual.
You retrieve the Dark One Sign from the monolith.
+2 Acquire the Bone Ritual (170)
To-Do:
- Rituals of the Dark One:
-- 1. Bone - Mad Monk's Tombstone, guarded by followers Acquired in swamp
Well, then, consider this swamp explored.
Back to land we go.
Now to deliver the goo to Crazium.
Here's the goo, now give me the Reanimation.
That is terrific! This is just what I need for my experiments! As I promised, here is your Rehydration Solution.
Wait, rehydration? I thought this was Reanimation solution! This is just fucking water! Thanks for nothing, asshat.
Fuck it, I have some time, let's pay a visit to that ogress. Not for the gnome, for me.
Not now, fake bush.
So, have you got an excuse for being here, or have ya just come to keep me company?
She stole some gnome jester's humor, and I'm here to get it back...for everyone's sanity.
So the Gnome's a hardluck case. If I had tears, I'd weep for him. If ya wants Baba Yaga ta do something about it, ya gotta deal with me. Give me something to improve my looks, and maybe I'll let you into the hut.
You know what'd improve your looks? Another large hole in your head via Force Bolt.
I wouldn't do that if I were you.
Ugh...fine, I'll keep an eye out.
To-Do: - Find something that will improve Bonehead's looks. Sunglasses? Hat?
But now, it's getting dark, and I'm overdue for some rest. The inn didn't exactly offer a good night's rest the past few nights, so...
Finally, a good night's sleep.
You feel the sensation of floating freely in a swirling cloud of magic. You are warm and safe surrounded by the sound of peaceful beauty. You feel as if you were suddenly totally alive. You can remember every happy moment of your past, taste every favorite sensation, hear all the colors of the universe. This is the true joy of living.
Mmm...good dreams...
You cannot breathe. The darkness is tearing the warmth, life and magic from your body. Pain - the agony of lungs without air, the burning cold of a body trapped in ice, the terror of helplessness as death approaches. You float, cold and lifeless.
...this dream blows...

I may end up doing a set simply of training/combat/dream montage, because once I hit the "point of no return button" in this game, there won't be time to do any of that.
I'm not quite ready for that yet, as I'm still waiting on an event, but once that event happens it's possible for me to end the game in like 2 days.
EDIT: And the more of this game I play, the more I just remember how incredibly awesome the finale is. Can't wait!

Surprised you managed to get through the swamp. Did those fanpatches fix that?
Don't you have to do something with the will-o'-wisps in the swamp or is that later/another class?
Yeah, I just need to find a way to somehow make the logical jump of will-o-wisp = dead child's soul, since it's not explained in the game anywhere.
Not even in Dr Craniums creature identify machine? Also thanks for doing this most recent series as I was never ever to complete it do to the game crashing at various points. Also I had the original version so I didn't get to listen to all the bad celebrity impressions.

If anything, there's just so much going on between proving yourself to the townspeople and (almost completely unrelated!) tracking down the rituals, not to mention that all of it is pretty open to do whenever you want, it's difficult to keep everything flowing in some kind of sensible narrative.
I did the monastery really early in the story, because it's what establishes the Dark One plot line with the rituals, which are all over the place (and I've barely touched on them so far). After that, I thought it made sense to do the series of Leshy riddles, because it works pretty well as kind of an introduction to everything in the surrounding area.
Rrrrufff!
You should have put the image in there with some hilarious photoshopping to make it SFW.
I'll try to get it done before I leave for vacation tonight, but if I don't, then don't think I abandoned this. Just that I do things on occasion besides sit at my computer writing LP scripts.

They sound similiar to me anyway.
I knew you could use the lockpick on yourself, but I didn't know that Open worked too!
(How would I even look up that sort of trope? "Scary little girl with big hulk"?)
Tanya's VA is actually the voice of Minnie Mouse. No, seriously.
Also, I didn't mention it before, but Boris Stovich is voiced by Jim Cummings, who has voiced...well, like thousands of famous voices. Most famously, though, Winnie the Pooh and Tigger.

Well, now to find a way around this gate, since Open refuses to work. And by around, I mean over. Levitate!
I walked up ta the innkeeper here and says to the guy, 'Do you know how lucky you are to have such a funny guy as myself staying here?' The innkeeper said, 'No, but if you hum a few bars, I can fake it.'
You may as well laugh now. This act doesn't get any funnier.
I'm staying at this inn for a while until I find something here. I've got the last door down the hall. Visit me sometime. I'm sure we can have a few laughs together.
To-Do:
- Help the townspeople so they like me
-- Punny Bones - Gnome Jester. Lost something, hopefully his sense of humor
Do you see him?
Yes, he is sleeping. Most likely in the inn, although it is hard to focus the vision enough to tell.
I do not understand why you did not just capture him in the first place. These charades you play are foolish.
Silence! To serve us, it will be for the best if he acts under his own free will. Why make an enemy out of a willing tool? Ah, but I forget, he is already YOUR enemy
This is not someone to play games with, I say. If he finds out what is going on, he will never cooperate. Besides, you risk his death -- Mordavia is a very dangerous place.
I think he is quite capable of taking care of himself. Besides, I have ways of making him cooperate, as you well know. I will use them only if I must.
