1932. SPIRALGEM AND LIGHTPEARL !
We left Pirate rock in the very morning. After a fight against some Slaughterers
we found a Silverblade (38oz W9-A1-D1-S4-P9), a weapon of returning which
also Saba could utilize. Before going back to Fawn Island we decided to explore
the small islands in the surrounding. As expected these islands were full
of treasures. We found two chests with glowing spheres of unknown purpose
inside, Slimeboots (38oz W5-A3-D6-S6-M112), Stormgloves (45oz W2-A12-D3-S5-M11),
a Hulkshelm (157oz W2-A13-D5-S7-M11), another fantastic Styxshield, a returning
Flameboomerang (10oz W12-A2-D2-S6-P5), Jinxplate (126oz W4-A13-D5-S5-M24),
a Magic Axe, another Argondagger, a Stonewand, another Gemstaff, a Skill5
potion and a chest full of Holy Scrolls.
After having finished the many small islands we set sails back to Fawn Island.
There we reported the good news to the queen. Cassandra was very happy. She
gave us the Spiralgem and by touching our heads increased our experiences
by magic. For now we had enough of the seas and we decided to return to the
continent in order to fulfill the third task of the Master of Wickedness.
We sailed to the north where we hit a small lonely island. There we found
Bloodboots. Then we turned to the west. South to Deathstone, betweeen two
large peninsulas we hit three bigger islands which we explored. Inmidst the
light forest of the rocky island we found another Stoneboomerang. The flatland
island was quiet uninteresting. On the third island we found another Flamesword.
To the north two more large islands we hit. The smaller island had a forest
in its southern part, where we found Crystscale. To the north in the mountains
of the island we found a Crystalwand. The other island named Wym was a wonderful
one. Mountains to the south and to the north protected the centre of a lovely
forest from the stormy winds of the sea. We decided to buy the island once
we had enough money left after fulfilling our quest of defeating Thardan.
Actually that time we had about 9.000.000 piasters so these dreams sounded
quiet realistic. To the south of the island we found a Magic Sack. The forest
gave us Flameplate (430oz W5-A25-D1-S1-M13).
We landed at the Deathstone station port and through Okon Wood we went to
Fainvil in order to catch the next cavetrain to Larvin. There we heard many
stories about the old Captain Bloodhawk who was a dreadful pirate that killed
many people and therefore was captured and hanged. Along to the narrations
he had buried great treasure somewhere which never had been found. As also
the keeper of the Sorion Lake knew, one part of Bloodhawks treasure was the
Marbeye, one of the seven pieces of the Moonwand. An old corsair told us,
that Bloodhawk oftenly came to Fainvil. His ghost still haunted there, so
he said. Another old pal remembered a friend who once met Bloodhawks spirit
by night. But he supposed that his friend just had too much drunken. Another
pirate mentioned, that whenever Bloodhawk came to Fainvil he only slept in
the finest beds of the Inn.
We had to wait a while for the train. By thinking over our quests we remembered
the Dreamstone which once was mentioned in Laronnes. We decided to try finding
that part of the Moonwand once we were on the other side of the mountains.
So we left the cavetrain at Lake Edge, Laronnes, and asked some citizens
about the Dreamstone. One of them knew that Rinoges, the keeper of Laronnes
owned it. Others told us to look for him only by witching hour at the Southern
Cross of the town. We had some hours 'til midnight, so we first went to Larvin
in order to get the mysterious gem for Rurbenock, the Master of Wickedness.
Quite loaded with the many armaments that we had found on the islands of
the mideastern seas we decided to return to our friend Tadgia and fine-tuned
our armament. We also tried out some wands and staffs. Our Grailwand increased
Marina's wisdom (+1) and made her more physically resistant (+3HP). The Crystalstaffs
made Saba stronger (+1) and also made her more physically resistant (+3HP).
Besides the use of them could cure and cleanse from poison.
Then we entered once more the catacombs. The cross that Rurbenock gave us
really did freeze the ghastly creature for a while, just enough to pick the
Lore Gem out of the pit. Back to the town Saba learned at a guild how to
summon demons utilizing crystals. We thought this could be useful since Saba
still couldn't bestowed to proper fighting spell classes.
If the crystals could summon demons, we wondered of what purpose the
diamonds could be. The guilds didn't know, so we asked around a bit. Some
banshees told us to ask Alreena, the keeper of Hernan's Wood. We went to the
forest and met Alreena. But she declined teaching us the use of the diamonds.
Mandrag supposed that only banshees could learn it. So what, we thought,
all the banshees we had met seemed a bit arrogant and cold-hearted. We didn't
want to have one in our party.
It was early in the afternoon and we decided to bring the Lore Gem to
the Master of Wickedness. Rurbenock was very pleased about the Lore Gem. And
again he tried to engage us for another task. But he had to see that we weren't
no longer willing to play the fools in order to assist his little world ruling
plans. Grumbling he gave us the Lightpearl. Something at and around this
little man with the tiny mustache made me feel uncomfortable. His unfriendly
gnomish minions with their green uniforms and uniform grey hair were only
found in groups of at least a dozen and had a very strange greeting formula:
Hail Rurbenock ! The man was a ticking time-bomb for this world. But my companions
didn't bother. We returned fastest way to Laronnes in order to meet Rinoges
from which we hoped to get the Dreamstone.
