Or Deist, as it is in the game.
I think I mentioned way back when I
started this that this game has parts that are really easy and parts
where it beats the hell out of you, with only a very few parts that
are in between. The Dreadnaught part I did the last couple issues
was one of those in between parts, relatively speaking. The way the
bit I started here was one of the parts that kind of kicks the shit
out of the party. Would have been nice if this part was issue #13,
for the way it went.
At any rate, like I was saying last
time, the king of Fynn's health kind of went to hell after we took
out the Dreadnaught, so we had to go look in on him one last time
before he keeled over. He has final orders for Mindu, Gordon, and
Firion. Gordon gets put in charge of the army and leaves the party.
Mindu gets sent after the Ultima Scroll, which is something we'll be
getting to before long. The king's final order for Firion is to send
us to a place called Deist so we can see if we can get help from the
Dragoons there, saying that even though the Empire wiped the place
out, there might be some left and we need any help we can get.
The trick is that we need a ship to get
there, and the one in Paloom won't go there. On top of that, none of
the other ship captains are willing to do it, either. Well, except
for one called Leila. Maria and Gus tell Firion that it's probably a
trap, but he says they kind of have to take her offer because it's
all they've got and they need to get to Deist. Of course, Maria and
Gus were right, because as soon as we're out of sight of the coast,
Leila sicks her pirates on us and forces us to kick their asses to
get where we're going. This part wasn't really that big a deal, but
it is where things started going wrong. Once I got through the
fight, I wound up landing in the wrong place and got my ass beat. I
knew where Deist was from the couple other times I've played this
part of the game, but still forgot that I had to go through a strait
to get to the island it's on.
Got myself killed a few times before I
did figure it out. Unfortunately, it's one of those things where it
really didn't matter much, because all the monsters in the area,
regardless where I land, can beat the party to a pulp. I did
eventually make it to the castle of Deist, where there's this kid who
tells us to stay back, but we need to follow him. Eventually, he
leads us to his mother, who tells us that the empire poisoned the
dragons that worked with the dragoons in this island nation, and all
but one's dead, and that one's on it's way out, too. She says we
should talk to it before it does, but we'll need to get a pendant
from the cave to the north of the castle. Fortunately, it's a short
trip when we get in there, because the thing we're looking for is in
a short side tunnel to the second basement.
I'll get to that next time, though.
For now, I had to evacuate to Bafsk to stock up on supplies before
going in. Needed some phoenix downs, a couple cottages, and some
more potions of various sorts. Hopefully, that'll be enough to get
me through this part. We'll find that out next time, though, like I
said. For now, it's late and I need to get to bed. Until next time,
stay safe, have fun, keep gaming,
and DFTBA.
