Howdy.
HiAh7u1.png

I... don't actually know quite where this was, but I'd assume it was in the dungeon after a rest.
Jm9CbAE.png

These seem to similar to the Fire Beetle.
lNBYMbF.png

Or maybe not.
Vpqc2GO.png

Yeah, no.
ckRknjO.png

sMhOcZs.png

Crap DU! Stop failing.
Zdj7oSL.png

Not much.
TjnRAlj.png

But this is! Goes right to Kalin.

These were all pretty easy. This next one though:
h6HJgu3.png

Sprites. The bane of humanoid existence. They've already knocked out CB and cursed us more than once.
2dKU1k7.png

This could go on for a while.
bJYyjbI.png

Jesus. Grim healed him, only to have him go back down.
qbUqOrG.png

After a long, drawn out annoying fight, we die.
qAGU9u1.png

Let's go out for a walk.
CcEgYXi.png

I love new enemy types!
Dujxsxb.png

Oh for f*** sake, DU!
dUi6J9J.png

This is going pretty evenly, all things considered.
YviyBGS.png

We might actually win. Or not. This is tense!
DTI9Mkl.png

:FU:
AAp8Gny.png

:FUYEAH:
I9ohumj.png

:decline: Only 133 XP for almost dying?
J6UJaN5.png

:decline:
myMBHoT.png

Eh. It goes to Bee. It has a max damage of 10 and she doesn't use a shield anyway.
iH7S9yz.png

We're in this mountain pass.
Rzpv7O8.png

gt1EYj6.png

Easy peasy.
TJ5ccfj.png

jn9Hz0I.png

:incline: of sleep.
O4n5l4u.png

pwX9X7c.png

Largest haul I had gotten at this point.
GsBGsSU.png

This could be terribad.
J038Gfz.png

New weapon is :incline: of Bee's damage output.
Zuf6DKH.png

:salute:
boXKC7x.png

I make the weak stuff go to sleep to keep it off of us.
I7xtwz5.png

Jesus DU!
6g8j4yR.png

kUfYypw.png

Boom.
0QCgZQO.png

It went very predictably after that.
2IfcXKn.png

:incline:
GU7N5Vd.png

Ummm, what? I know for a fact that I cast a level 2 spell in the last update, but he just got to level 3? And he just got level 2 spells? I am confuse.

At this point, I looked at the map that comes in the extras for the GOG pack. I was finally able to make out a small pass to the north between two mountains. So we head there, hoping to find a way to Erliquin.
SAapS8V.png

512y4Lt.png

Or not. No Erliquin for us (yet)
BCpMulj.png

Starts off in our favour.
KcQPD8E.png

I go down.
kt1dtTq.png

Yeah, three rounds in. One thing I can say about this game is that one way or another, fights are over fast.

Of Castles and Demons
We decide to go back out and try to find a way to Erliquin, or at least just wander around a bit.
glJ4hel.png

9CvSIp1.png

These aren't too bad.
TVOnanC.png

Dinolizards? So now VARN has dinosaurs?
vieefge.png

i3DIWAN.png

This is going pretty poorly.
n1EiLAX.png

But we carry through
qFIFXhL.png

76b846J.png

They practically fall apart as they walk toward us.
pzul3Vn.png

This game has road signs? Neat.
VeVO3Mq.png

So, yeah. We wandered for a while and our biome suddenly shifted. I proposed that we must have been somewhere near Castle Blackridge North.
lg3rJhx.png

I was right! We have entered the Castle, hoping for an inn of some sort.
3n4ibZS.png

Alack! For here there be demons!
hNs86Ke.png

This one didn't turn out quite right.
Pkas12C.png

Huh. First ones that outright resist my spells (the fire beetles resisted fire).
LlWnc4T.png

There's half Kalin's health.
4tKGySk.png

XyHJzAO.png

Ry1d8cY.png

They can also cast spells.
Ffy51FL.png

0ck3Z7n.png

Goodbye, fair maiden of death and destruction :salute:
TlED4mR.png

mJrbXhA.png

Alas. Poor Kalin, I knew him well (not really).
64je7ep.png

ciTxcCc.png

Looks like Azira's their next target.
7xXWs0A.png

Our Russian brute priest goes down.
We had no chance
4A4wt8P.png

Azira tells me that after this he killed almost all of them and then only got overwhelmed by sheer numbers.
W3KScnK.png

I doubt that though.

Exploring Sorpigal
We decide after some dungeon spelunking that it'd be best to hang in Sorpigal. So here you go. Let's check out some places in Sorpigal that are of interest while I grind.
CbVV8gj.png

yhl1J5X.png

Some more clues! I've heard of Og's quest from the Codex.
XJeFCa1.png

These guys have a statue of DarkUnderlord?
We've already read this one.
1VZUQLQ.png

ZoADkWA.png

I'm pretty sure this is a major hint for the plot. That's gonna be our next target.
b42Efwk.png

Goddammit DU!
trZqrhU.png

Goddammit DU!
YoBXUlc.png

We're killing guards now, because why not?
fiOSVRm.png

VzXcmKz.png

Come on, DU! Stop sucking!
FBxAfc7.png

How the Hell do you sey off a trap on A FRICKING SACK!!!!??!???? I think you're gonna die soon because of how inept you are!!!!!!
8eGLGw6.png

The haul is decent at least.
B3Cgv63.png

Moar pegasus!
JwuLNHG.png

This is going great.

Let's ditch this dungeon.

Enter Mustawd
Hey guys. Something ACTUALLY happens in this update.
8fiNuhz.png

You see, this is in a dark, no magic zone. Snakes, even in this, aren't a problem.
vTqdraB.png

I cast my new spell, Electric Arrow:
1. NAME: Electric Arrow
COST: 2 SP
TYPE: Combat
OBJECT: 1 monster
DESCRIPTION: Electrocutes a monster, inflicting 2-12 damage points, unless monster is immune to electrical
attack.
Click to expand...
S4b8zHU.png

It's here that I figure out that it's a no-magic zone.
Kz9ucKh.png

We prevail anyway, but with a casualty. Cue bagpipes.
MaMAznY.png

Of all the souls I have met in my travels, his was the most... human.
We get ready to tear up, but it's about here that we remember a friend that we had left forgotten in the inn and say "Screw DU! He always set off traps anyway!"
tO8q4I8.png

Everyone welcome Mustawd to the party.
He's level 1, but with a higher luck, which we hope will mean that he sets off less traps.
2Tt92bh.png

His first fight with us.
u8AuvgB.png

He's already incline over DU.
cmOQpCb.png

qNVySp6.png

pqR8F1d.png

This one may prove more of a challenge to our new friend.
Qm30PKl.png

Or not.
uYz7pa9.png

jYtW6Vi.png

t8gxa7u.png

Looks like there's gonna be a bit of a grind.
HL0FwpO.png

That bardiche is getting great use.

Good job there, Mustawd.

Thanks Crooked Bee.

And Excidium II meh. The graphics are nothing to brag about, but they work for this type of game, and I actually like the minimalism. Once this gets to IV, you'll be able to satisfy the graphics whore in you.

BTW, these are a bit behind (I've got 14 updates in pics saved up on my HDD). We're almost ready to leave the city of Sorpigal. I just need one more level, and you guys could use another level (but once I get Fireball and Fly, we can move with pretty decent freedom on the overworld.

Excidium is a yuge graphics whore. It's to be expected of course.

Just compare to the NES version. Also III already uses the gfx of IV.

Well, tbh, I haven't played Terra yet.
Also, NES? Wasn't that the one that lacked rows? Give me DOS-era graphics and proper rows without menu controls any day.

And lastly, DarkUnderlord I'll bring you back to life eventually, once I have the cash to. Right now, having living team members is a top priority. You'll get to be a part of my backup squad.

Grinding for Money (DU's gonna hate me even more)(I made this probably a week ago)
Hey guys. Welcome back to LP The Might and Magic Series where we make no progress whatsoever.
ukCIanq.png

Goddammit Mustawd! He's still been better than DU
xtvwt9P.png

JFXoC14.png

Orcs, eh? Should be easy.
Rbb8uLW.png

Well, fuck. He IS level 1, though.
f82rKdU.png

Oh, balls.
EZcpO0h.png

They're gonna die, sure, but...
sPcTzR1.png

Well... The thing is...
67sEuRX.png

So did Mustawd...
J7gjgIN.png

We start about a quarter of the way there, though.
aBWDIvB.png

Actually, a little over half.
bpnfn5U.png

This is easy.
BVOlvAA.png

0XoSfda.png

Money!
UoUaxCu.png

PV0ZNwM.png

This could be good grinding for later.
IxTBm0Y.png

q1oQyrc.png

khRKp7h.png

Almost there!
bSM7ABw.png

f5xyuEF.png

Yes! No matter what we get, we end up with enough and a littel left over.
5PBXuaJ.png

We rez our robber. No progress toward our actual objective has been made in this update.
