fantasoft.com expired on 11/10/2011 and is pending renewal or deletion.

...God damnit...

And every site I visit links to the Fantasoft site for the download.

Would've hit the spot tonight, too.

Ah well, guess the LP will have to satisfy me for now. :salute:

If you're looking for the game Ashery you can get it from here.

Gave up on Odyssey to try this out. Great LP :salute:

Forces me to use Basilisk II, but that shouldn't be anymore of a problem than running DosBox.

...Or maybe not.

Everything appears to be setup properly, but Stuffit Expander 5.5 will extract the Realmz folder from the .sit download that will contain only a blank file that totals 4kb.

Will keep digging for info in the meantime.

Edit: Looks like I got it fixed by changing some of the default settings in the launcher.

Time for some massive nostalgia as I grew up on Macs.

Guys, I had the strangest dream.
Realmz_000046.png
That so, laddie?
Realmz_000041.png
Yeah, I dreamt I was becoming a bard. Could you believe it?
Realmz_000046.png
Ridiculous!

With that, our intrepid ne'er-do-wells continue their quest for glory, Malac draped over Crimson's shoulders.

I'm getting that TPK tingle again... we should hold off on that.






Realmz_000280.png


Realmz_000040.png
Nex, are you okay? You seem a bit excited.
Realmz_000038.png
[sniff] just like home!




Realmz_000281.png






Realmz_000282.png






Realmz_000283.png


Some dungeons require exploration in First Person mode.
I personally loathe it, so I turn back. Maybe we'll return here later. There's also a spell (Wizard's Eye) that's supposed to change the view into a 2D map, probably available later on.

Chapter 2, Part 5 - Continuiing the Carnage

In search of more Victory Points and adventure, we head south of the small Goblin village, only to find another, bigger one.

Realmz_000296.png

They seem decent enough. Maybe we should team up with them?

Awww, can we keep him?






Realmz_000307.png


Realmz_000040.png
Victory is at hand!





Realmz_000308.png


Realmz_000040.png
...crap


Reinforcements arrive one more time, but ultimately the Krise are too weak to pose a serious threat.



Realmz_000309.png

Hey, where'd the Shaman go?

[cracking knuckles] my turn!
(I choose the pick lock skill, and some time-limited tumbler interface comes up. I didn't grab a screenshot in time, unfortunately. Other options include forcing the lock open, but that destroys some of the contents)





Realmz_000316.png


Realmz_000041.png
Success!

(we get a few potions and scrolls)


Realmz_000317.png


Realmz_000040.png
What can I say? I'm a keen observer.





We return to Town. Bolstered by the recent level ups, we decide to take on Bigbelly.

Silence! We fight t'the death! FER HONOR!




Realmz_000323.png






Realmz_000324.png


Finally, our casters actually get to cast.



Realmz_000325.png


Our Goblin friends are reduced to 1.
The blue-highlighted orc is victim to a spell of Noxious Cloud.




Realmz_000326.png


One by one, the Orcish ranks dwindle.





Realmz_000327.png


But then again, so do ours.





Realmz_000328.png


Realmz_000039.png
RIP, Vodalian. You fought bravely.
With some luck, combined with Crimson's high Armor Rating and Reppep's melee prowess, we win.

Although, I try to break the updates up to fit a particular "theme", and also to hasten the next page.

After a failed attempt at tackling the Beast in the King's garden, we head west, into the wild lands.


Realmz_000346.png


Realmz_000030.png
Bzzz zzsszzz!


Realmz_000347.png


Realmz_000041.png
Looks like Bee has a new hatchling.


Realmz_000348.png








Realmz_000349.png






Onwards, to the West...

Realmz_000350.png


Realmz_000046.png
Don' even think about it, Malac my boy.
Realmz_000041.png
Pilfering Orc graves? That's infra dig, man.






Realmz_000351.png



Realmz_000352.png


We enter the chief's hut to the west.

An infinitely reusable thrown magic weapon, that doesn't require you being in harm's way? MINE!


Realmz_000358.png


Realmz_000038.png
Maybe later...




We venture to the North, seeking to explore a cave entrance. En route we encounter...

Realmz_000359.png


Realmz_000040.png
The Orcs seem honorable enough, let's aid them.
Realmz_000046.png
Aye! To arms!
Realmz_000038.png
Alrighty. It's a good chance to test my new Summon spell.




Realmz_000360.png


Realmz_000038.png
A kitty! So fluffy! :love:





Realmz_000361.png







Realmz_000362.png


We advance and do battle...






Realmz_000363.png


And are soon victorious, with no casualties or KOs.





Realmz_000364.png


One Orc even wishes to stay with the party.
(note that in Realmz, Summoned creatures stay with you!)



We head back to the Orc village to rest in safety, and then continue exploring.

Realmz_000365.png


Realmz_000046.png
Hark! Danger is afoot.


Realmz_000366.png


Realmz_000038.png
I'm sure it's nothing Mr. Mittens can't handle.
Realmz_000041.png
Mr. Mittens? Oh, brother...


Realmz_000367.png



Realmz_000368.png

Realmz_000038.png
Oh.





Realmz_000372.png


Realmz_000038.png
Well, good enough.





Realmz_000373.png


Our party and its pets pummel the remaining Troll...




Realmz_000374.png


And it is soon vanquished.




Realmz_000375.png



Realmz_000376.png


Realmz_000040.png
Ta da!

Realmz_000377.png


Realmz_000041.png
:bro:



We recuperate, and then advance.

Realmz_000378.png



Realmz_000379.png


Realmz_000039.png
We seem to be running into a lot of babies lately...




Realmz_000380.png



Realmz_000381.png


Realmz_000039.png
Figures.
Realmz_000040.png
Bring it on!





Realmz_000382.png


Unfortunately, our AI-controlled summons start far away from the action, and their movement AI is fairly stupid.
Realmz_000038.png
No matter! I'll summon another one.



Realmz_000383.png


Realmz_000038.png
Ooh! It's a big one this time.




Realmz_000384.png






Realmz_000385.png


Realmz_000038.png
Fire elementals fiends! Yay!






Realmz_000386.png


One by one, the Troll siblings are cut down.





Realmz_000388.png


During the fight, Reppep is slain.
Realmz_000046.png
:salute: He fought bravely!
Realmz_000039.png
We'd all be propping tombstones if it wasn't for him.

Bee avenges him as she coup de graces a sleeping Troll.





Realmz_000389.png


Realmz_000040.png
Don't feel so good...

(Diseases pretty much act like Poison; they're very deadly in this game)

Realmz_000046.png
I'll patch you up, buddy!





Realmz_000390.png


Realmz_000041.png
One throwing ax, comin' up!
(missed the killing blow by a split second)

After a long and grueling battle, our heroes enjoy some well earned R&R.

Looks like i am doing fine so far and i am getting good at the whole taking punches part.

The rest of the party should carry me around like a GOLDEN GOD and worship the dirt walk on.

Chapter 2, Part 7: Tomb of Horrors

En route to the Orc settlement, just above the Orcish graveyard, we had previously stumbled upon an ominous looking door. The latest round of levelups has given the party confidence, and so...

Unfortunately, if you alter the party compoisition, it does lower the VP rewards. Thus...

So, what now?
Realmz_000046.png
Always thought ye had t'drive a stake through their chests...
Realmz_000041.png
Hmmm... are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Realmz_000040.png
Well, I think so, Malac, but I can't memorize a whole opera in Yiddish.
Realmz_000041.png
What?! No!
Realmz_000041.png
I mean, if the stake business is bull, maybe we can just resurrect her, too?
Realmz_000040.png
And what if she was just wearing too much make-up all along?
