Before I start, I have to thank Sovy Kurosei for hosting my screenshots. Thanks a lot man ! :wink:
Ok ! Back to W&W.
We left our party facing doors and levers...
There are 5 doors and 4 levers that can be switched up or down. So 16 possibilities. We got more than 16 spare coins so we try them untill all five doors are open.
All the doors release monsters, but also have treasure chests.
This wall looks suspicious. Let's try the key given to us by that mad priest on that lock.
Yes ! Opened.
The hidden statue. In front are some ankhs and an amulet. Kerah seems to totally love Ladonna, seeing that dialogue screen.
Cool amulet. Ladonna can already cast resurrection though. Can't be sold unfortunately, like some other items in this game
This is where the nectar is made. This big wheel activates the crusher in the back.
We use an empty flask to collect the nectar.
Let's go to the "nursery" to get some eggs now. See those big round shadows on the ground ?
Yes, spiders. I wanted to take a screenshot of them falling off the ceiling, but I wasn't fast enough.
We put some eggs in the crusher and go activate the wheel.
We have a new potion in the formerly empty flask.
That's spider nectar alright.
Now we arrive in the library. There are 4 such pedestals. We have four figurines...
Let's try to put a figurine on the pedestal.
Bingo ! We do it on each of the four pedestals and a part of the floor becomes a lift that leads straight to...
The wizard's study. Here we find both the serpent's wand and the "Scroll of trickery" needed for the bard's quest.
Before leaving we use another figurine on a unique pedestal. It makes part of the wall slide down and uncovers a desk with a book on it.
That's the book. It will be useful later. For now we are out of "cure poison" potions and want to go back to town...
Kingcomrade becomes a barbarian.
Vazdru and Vdweller bring back 10 serpent coins each and get a new thieves guild quest : Bring back a book from the Shurugeon castle.
Inside the guilds you can train to upgrade skills or buy new ones, like "sneak" here.
Ladonna is now a monk. She joins the bushi guild ang gets this quest to deliver an arrow to a samurai.
We do some shopping and exit the town with only one gp left ! Note that I completely forgot to promote Vdweller to bard. Hindsight is 20/20.
Back in the temple we go for the summoning ritual since we now have all the ingredients.
The naga appears in the fire. You should see her whole head but only the tongue appears on this shot.
She asks a series of questions that we answer by reading from the Servant's book.
The way is now open.
It leads to this empty room with a lone lever.
Activating it makes us fall in a pit. We heal the falling damage immediately. In the next room behind that round "stuff" we are told that a large body is moving.
The naga hides just behind the disk. That is one serious fight waiting for us.
Let's buff !
Now let's fight. There are exploits to make this fight easier but we ain't no pussy team, so we go for the throat !
Vdweller, who believes in science (the fool) tries the potion that Kerielle gave us. It's a measly "sleep-naga-naga" potion. I guess you can get past her and do the rest of the dungeon that way. We won't do that. The next hit awakes her and the fight goes on.
We hold on very well, we were very lucky. Volourn succeded in blinding her with a "Dazzle" spell so she hardly hits us. That same spell turned the spider (that joined the naga during the fight, as if she was not enough by herself...) insane so it now fights the naga. The naga is almost dead...
Dead ! The 612 xp are for the spider. The naga was worth 12500xp. Global level-up move !
Here there is a little gap in my story. I accidentally erased some 10 screenshots. So after killing the naga, we entered a maze of corridors and lifts, met an important serpent priest who guarded the high priestress. Killed him and got a key. Arrived at the center of the temple where we met the priestress wearing "The masque of death". Were sorely insulted for killing the naga. Had to fight her and a good bunch of high ranking priests that launched very high dammage spells. A great fight. Fighters whacked the priestress while Volourn's spells took care of the priests and Ladonna healed like crazy. Even the thieves mostly used heal potions on everyone during that fight. I'm pissed ! The shots of that fight were fine... Anyway, we now come back to a more visual experience.
The high priestress is dead so we can examine the altar. Nothing. We leave.
On the way back we open a locked door now that we have the key from the priest. Inside we open two treasure chests filled with loot. One of them contains...
The tome of fire. This screenshot is for Jasede (the real one I mean). That's one down, three to go.
Back in town, Vdweller finally becomes a bard.
we bring back the Serpent's wand to the gipsies leader. She gives us the orb of clarity.
She also opens her secret stash ! Cool !
More loot !
Back in town. Volourn buys the identify skill. At fucking last ! But he sucks at it for now.
Ready to leave for unexplored territory... Next update !
That's it for this time. Btw, our team members that recently were promoted to a new class, got access to guilds they couldn't get in before. Like Vdweller being a bard, can now join the wizards guild. So I backtracked some, to make them do older guild quests, such as giving the potion to Mekdawa. But I just mention it here and won't show it. It's a boring part of the game, you're better off without it.
Special screenshot of the day : First go at the naga. Not buffed enough ! Also, humour on the last sentence.
Then he asks us to kill a stout in the stout mines. We accept immediately since... you know... that's how you can have one of your characters become an assassin. But hush ! That's metagaming.
) who lives with that charming dragon. Will do. Next time...
