Utgard Update 1
First steps in the land of the giants.
We didn't get any eperience boost or super cool weapon reward for completing first part of our quest, that's a shame but I'll get over it. Heimdall is still level 5 and Aegir and Ormr are getting close to also reach it. We are quite low on food and healing supplies but we hope to find a shop soon.
We have to start our search for next weapon of the gods somwhere.
This island seems to be good place as any. Since it's Utgard we probably will meet some giants. We had "Giant Killer" scrolls but I sold them, so we will have to depend on Heimdall strenght to overcome them if need be.
This looks familliar, but it's hard to expect that every island on three world will be unique. This game is on floppies.
We will move around as Ormr, we don't have much food left so time may come when Aegir will finally have to fight so we should save his health.
Ormr fell into pit trap and then spotted sorcerer. That's bad sign if we encounter sorcerers right from the start...
You will either let us pass or die, old man!
He died after three hits and dropped quite a lot of stuff...
It's better than what we have. We will give Heimdall's crystal sword to Aegir even though he already have one. This should bring sword icon closer to attack button if we decide to fight as Aegir.
Sorcerer also dropped two food rations and potion of runelore.
We told Heimdall to drink it and now he's killing machine rune expert!
Let's continue.
Probably more pit traps. They don't do that much damage but we shall move as Ormr anyway.
Well, if there were any pit traps, Ormr managed to avoid them.
This island is too damn calm. That's suspicious.
We will go south first.
After switching some floppies (Heimdall is one of those games that don't recognize any other WinUAE floppy drives than DF0 and DF1) it turned out it's a shop. That's good to know. Unfortunately this shop don't have anything other than shops we visited in Midgard. We bought one amethyst key and said goodbye to shopkeeper.
So it's time to go east.
He dropped invulnerability scroll. We gave it to Aegir so we can sold one of his crystal swords and have sword icon in right place during combat (The same reason why Heimdall is carrying one).
After killing owner, we can loot this chest.
It was trapped and contained "stne" key, helmet (?) and revelation scroll (we used one to "reveal" bridge in second island we visitted in midgard). We can't do anything with the helmet so I'm guessing it's quest item.
I don't like the word "venomous"...
We killed it and didn't died of poison so I guess it was just to scare us.
I think that's it for this island. Let's go back to the ship.
Yes, please.
And those were our first steps in the land of giants. Not much really, basicially game was nice enough to put shop island close to our starting position.
Aegir (I'm confused about this dude's name, combat menu says AEGIR and crew screen says AEIGR. He will be Aegir from now because its easier to pronounce) reached level 5 but he is still worse than Heimdall at everything but dexterity (Heimdall have his dex raised by carrying two dexterity charms). In next episode we should look for trouble in another island since we are now pretty good on supplies.
