And The Land Of The Golden Seed, perhaps?
What can I say? The first three
Indiana Jones
movies were very
influential for my generation, right up there with the original Star
Wars trilogy. The way this Text Play is going, I've got a good
feeling about eventually making at least one joke involving the Star
Wars theme before it's all over. But we'll get to that when the
need arises.
For now, though, we're going to get all
set up for dealing with an artifact that the tree in the backyard of
the Home area called the Golden Seed. From what I've read, this
gives us another place to use all those seeds we can get from
plant-type monsters, amongst other things. I got it when I went to
talk to it after I got three cabadillos off its branches. Before I
go do that, though, there are a few things I need to do first.
Number one on the list is something I
don't even need to leave my in-game house for: get one of my pet
monsters to bring along. In this case, I'm taking one of the more
recent additions to my menagerie, a wolf-type thing called Mike
Hamar, after the Red Green character. That's sort of been the motif,
really, hasn't it?
From there, it's back to Lumina to get
a much needed upgrade for my weapons and armor. In this case, I got
a sword, gauntlets, and boots, all made out of what the game calls
Lorant Silver. Of course, Capella saw me coming through and decided
that there was no need to be afraid of the sword-wielding fighter who
seemed to have picked up a pet wolf since we'd last seen him and made
a very good effort to block my way to the store.
Once that was taken care of, I went to
check out the rest of the town. I ran into Pokheil, who gave us a
warning about going to the Underworld. Be
careful, essentially, though I think I liked Babylon
5's version better. After that, he beams out or something, and I
don't get to ask what he means. But since it seems that nobody else
has anything new or useful to say at this point, I guess it's off to
see what happens when I do this whole Golden Seed thing.
Unfortunately,
I built that up a little more than I had intended to, but much like
naming my pets after Red Green characters this playthrough, these ten
or twelve issues or so have been me doing artifacts and lands that,
by and large, I've never bothered with before. I had honestly
thought that the Golden Seed would bring something more epic than it
did.
What
I got, however, was just another instance of the Orchard back in the
Home area. Quite literally, it's the Orchard and nothing more, just
going straight to the world map from the exit instead of to the rest
of the Home map.
But
since these last couple issues haven't exactly been what one might
call particularly exciting, I think I'll actually get going on a few
quests that might actually be, next time I do LOM. I get the feeling
this car commercialfrom the 90s might explain where we're headed. No, not
Baltimore, Maryland, though I do know a guy who'd love it if I went
there. It's off to the Underworld that Pokheil warned us about this
time. But that's for next time, as I've got things I need to do this
evening.
Until
then, though, stay safe, have fun, keep gaming, and DFTBA.
