We left our party in the church with some dramatic music playing. That was all an unnecessary cliffhanger, because absolutely nothing goes on here.


No need to worry. Yet.

Jorge was adamant that we talk to everyone. He didn't want to miss any information or clues, hints or even treasure. Everybody else just kind of followed him, shuffling their feet and looking at the ground as he barged into people screaming HELLO MY NAME IS JORGE TELL ME YOUR INFORMATION CITIZEN.


Another victim of Garland's barbershop.


He doesn't sound convinced. Cheer up dude,
we're here to save the day.


Sounds like Lukahn liked his herbs.
If you know what I mean.


This guy is a trainee sage. You can tell because
his beard isn't huge and grey.

And then we remembered a vital piece of information. Nobody had brought the smurfing spellbooks. So off we went to buy some new ones. The Black Magic store was first.


You could smell the tension with a knife.

We meet again, Martyr.

Who the heck are you?

You're.. you're kidding, right? It's me, Jorge! We went to Magic School together!

Right, you're the weirdo who always said he was going to become a barbarian and that magic was tit.

...Yeah that's me.

So what can I do you for?

Just a fire spell for my friend uhh, uhh, well see he's a red mage and uhh yeah just one fire please.

After that showdown between two old rivals, we headed onwards to the White Magic store!


I like her jugs pots.

Hello brother dearest!

Who are you talking to, you crazy woman?

Sister dearest!

Oh boy.

Everyone, this is my sister Lassy. We're twins, would you believe it?

Pa thought we were both going to be girls so he tried to name my brother Lady!

So is Lady his real name or what?

I don't even care, I'm calling him Lady from now on. Hey Lady, watch out for that goblin. hahaha I'm such a dick

Okay Lassy just gimme a cure spell and we'll be on our way. Gosh why do you always have to embarrass me in front of my friends I thought maybe DD and I could be something special but you went and ruined it.

And with those two awkward encounters, it was finally time to g--

GO TO THE SEASIDE.


They left when Laddy offered Jorge a pair of
speedos to swim in.

It was then time to get on with the mission. This is too much effort sometimes, I don't know why I bother. I should follow around that stripper girl instead.


A Goblin Guard seeking revenge for our
wanton goblin massacre earlier.

And then it got worse.


Much worse.


Jorge turned up the heat!

The battle was fierce, and Jorge found himself wounded quite badly. But it was Laddy to the rescue!


The sparkly balls of light rescue!

Qwert~ and DD did not want to feel left out of the fight though!


DD really wanted a new myspace photo too.

The battle was soon won, and everybody felt stronger for it. TIME FOR FANFARE MUSIC.



Obviously I love Qwert~ just as much as his parents, because I forgot to screenshot his level up.

And with that, the first boss battle is completed!

Uhm. That wasn't a boss battle. There was no cool death effects or sounds or anything.

So it was just a really really hard ordinary encounter?

Just because you almost died doesn't mean we found it challenging.

Onwards, then? We took a look at the bridge.


Honestly, we could jump that gap.


We found this weird ass cave too.


At the level up, I gained a new ability.
I can see place names in my photos now!


We met a crazy guy who spoke in tongues.


Apparently this decomposing skeleton smelled bad.
Go figure.

We left the crazy cave and headed north some more. The Chaos Shrine was in sight now, but there were still some challenges to be faced.


Like spiders.

My favourite thing about spiders is that DD is afraid of them. He's like Ronald Weasley, except instead of being cute, British and ginger, he is only one of those things.


We beat up a lone wolf. I gotta bad
feeling about this.

And then there was the moment that changed our lives forever.


HAHA EAT tit AND DIE JORGE!

Ahem. Jorge was beaten senseless by a pair of skeletal warriors from the realm of the dead. I don't know how they were walking around in sunlight, I thought they were like vampires and burned up. Or at least sparkled, or something.

But with Jorge KO'ed, the party retreated back to Cornelia. They had to pray for Jorge's safe passing into the next life.


No, that's cool we'll just pray for him.
Oh alright, fine...


On second thought, nah, it's cool. Out of our price range.
Aw fine just make it quick.



That was a little too "magical" for a church if you ask me.

And then, after much ado, it was time for our journey to begin proper.

Under new guidance. With a new champion.

Everyone, please welcome the new party leader.


Minasan, let's do our best and try to win!
