I am the guy who never beat video games as a kid because I was too dumb. I'm back with another one.

I dug out more CDs, but we're going to start with Shattered Lands because (and I quote my 9 year old self here) "Woah, this one has a praying mantis on the cover! Gnarly!" My 9 year old self failed miserably at this game mostly because I thought 4 Thri-Kreen mages was a good idea. Or psionists. I don't even know what psionists means. I also don't know if Thri-Kreen is right, but that's what I'm calling them until someone corrects me and then I'll continue to spell it however the hell I want.

There is a good link to Abandonware if you google the name it has a bunch of screenshots and some video or something.

This LP will follow my others, except this one can have much more user input which is hopefully a good thing.

If you continue to read this be prepared for the following: Copious swearing, spelling mistakes, terrible gifs, lame jokes, inept game management, forgetting to save and having my Windows95 virtual machine crash and then having to replay a bunch, and other such shenanigans.

Things you should not expect: Sound, Brilliant gameplay, Showing you neat tricks about the game like that one guy who got 100% complete on Quest For Glory. gently caress him for making me feel like an idiot playing those games.

I haven't even read the manual. I will, but my priority is writing this long-winded bullshit that no one will read and care about.




To get us started here is the introduction to the game.




And now we get to the character creation part. I need to create 4 characters. I remember giants being the only thing that helped me through the game because once all my praying mantis mages died I added fighter giants and just punched everything to death.





Here is a gif of me cycling through the character creation menu. You can see the options. Some races can only be certain things, others can be anything.


So to begin I need 4 characters created, preferably not as dumb as I did as a kid. Try to be smarter than a kid who was wearing florescent orange shorts for fucks sake.

Here is a link to the PDF manual that installs with the game. It goes in depth about classes, magic, spells, all that good stuff.

Oh man, I'm going to do this, but I wouldn't say I'm going to do it well. I have only the vaguest recollection of the game, I'm going to screw up and miss a lot I bet. I'll try to show as much of the world as I can, do the side quests, but I am in no way an expert.

Your advice will be welcome (and then promptly forgotten while I do my own thing and die).

Edit: So far we have 1 Thri-Kreen fighter. We'll probably need some kind of mage(preserver)/druid/cleric/psionicist, and who knows if thieves are even useful in the game.

Yeah, I remember the thrikreens getting destroyed early. That is seriously about all I remembered.

I was planning on just rolling the dice (and then cheating so they all roll 6) for the characters. I just got to that part in the manual that says I can bump up the HP and other crap. Didn't know that!

Spermy Smurf
Jul 2, 2004
Alright you dildos, I'm creating two characters myself.

Spermy Smurf
Jul 2, 2004
Time to meet our characters!



Slaying Man'tis the Thri-Kreen fighter, armed with ninja stars for some reason.


Aishlinn the human thief who came armed with a long sword for some reason instead of the usual stabby daggers.


Kug the giant dual wielding a club and sword.


And a dude whose name I forgot to change. Kornec. He is a half-human-half-dwarf which is called a Mul apparently. It was something unique to this setting, so I went with it. I made him a fighter/cleric.


Immediately we are thrown to the wolves so to speak.




We watch helplessly as Celgor (old dude in a brown cloak about to be eaten) is destroyed in a cloud of dust/magic/smoke. Or was he? Apparently the green things are Sligs.


Time for us to shine, watch me move and prepare for combat!


Chaaaaaaarge! We must avenge Celgor even though I have no idea who it is. Chaaaaaaaarge!



Combat looks like this. Kug basically destroys poo poo while the other people hang out and chillax. The end text gets cut off but basically says "Okay, you gladiators are great now go back to your pens like nice little boys and girls."


Question: Do we go meekly back to our pens, or do we explore and/or murder guards and/or die?

More loot. Outfitted Kug with dual swords.


Chatted with this guy, then cut him down.

Here they come!


Here they die. Kug took 3 damage and that was it.


More money! Slaves have a huge need of money for the slave outlet stores so this is helpful.

I stop being an idiot, loot another sword and sling, then move back into the bone-pen that I initially came out of.



Heading to the slave pens where my money will obviously be super-helpful.




Kurzak looks like a dick, I'll have to kill him later won't I?


Next time: What the poo poo do we do? I am tempted to telegraph our escape plan by asking about the exits.

Kug seems to be a wrecking ball and a half, starting with a 24 Strength, 75 HP, etc. What's the deal with giants?

I may or may not have sort of close-to-maxed out all of the characters.

I rolled the dice on the character creation screen till I got a 6. I have no idea what the max strength for giants is, but 24 is insanely high already. Rolling the die and re-rolling it changes the stats. So this specific 6 must have jacked strength and constitution. No idea what the maxes are, but I reaally needed a meat shield so I'm pretty happy.

I bet the dude is underpaid and disgruntled. Let's see if he'll help us escape in exchange for some of our money.


So we got a flask to hold water, and bribed him pointlessly. I call it a victory. He also let us know there is a super secret way out of here.


I'm going to link this next gif because it's 9MB. It's me wildly moving the mouse around to try to show the impressive scope of the world. It was absolutely impressive to my 9 year old self.

Maybe I'll break the game and die. Remind me to save.

We decide to explore the slave pens. I steal anything not nailed down. I discover there is no such thing as a quest log, so I have to remember all sorts of bullshit. I've started writing crap down. No wonder my 9 year old self failed so bad at this.


I talk to Mirlon who apparently does not have gray hair. Just his sprite does.


I ask him about escape because lets face it, I want to escape and do... something.


Ah, bribes will help us escape. This will be simple then. Step 1: Get gem. Step 2: Apply bribes.


God damnit. Step 1: Find tied up guy. Step 2: Get him water. Step 3: Get Gem. Step 4: Apply bribes.
Wait, scratch that. Step 1: find water container. Step 2: Fill up water. Step 3: Go back to arena. Step 4: Fight and win. Step 5: Find tied up guy. Step 6: Get him water. Step 7: Get gem. Step 8: Return Gem to Mirlon. Step 9: Apply Bribes. Step 10: Escape.

This should be a cakewalk since I accidentally got a water jug earlier.




Thanks brah.



Okay, so Generic Blue is the boss. Got it.


Scar is kind of a dickhole. We're not powerful enough to talk to the almighty Scar. I think that's his name. Already forgot.


Lets talk to the Wandering dude. His name is "Trustee" and apparently he's an Ex-gladiator that gets some freedom around here.



We find out the names of the other people we've already talked to.





And we learn all about them.


Note to self, maybe trusting Mirlon with a gem is a bad idea.



Thanks Trustee, for unlocking a random door for absolutely no reason.


Man'tis is about to level up while the other guys aren't even close. I'm changing the main character to whoever has the lowest experience.


He starts off calling us Newbies, but he hasn't even fought in the arena.


Oh hey, there is a water thing over there. Thanks!


We learn about Trustee.


About this time I learn we can snoop. I do. What's he going to do? Say we can't?


Not sure who Petchul is, but I'll keep it in mind (if you guys remind me because I have a terrible memory for names).


And I missed a screenshot of it, but there were 3 (what I thought were barrels) clay jugs sitting there to the left. In games like this you always destroy barrels, so I did.


They weren't nailed down so I took them.


And I may have found the gem that I just created a 12-step plan to get. So that saved a bunch of work.

I'm going to take a nap, heal, rest up mana points and I'm taking any and all ideas!

This looks interesting. Can you give us a more detailed overview of how the combat works?

I click on someone. The guy walks over and punches them.


It's turn based from what I can tell. There is something behind the scenes figuring out who goes next, guessing it's some D&D THAC0 poo poo or something I don't understand.


Every character has X movement points. Everyone has 12 right now, except Man'tis who has 15 so he can attack more than the other characters. Guessing it's because he has more limbs.

I can tell my guys to guard, wait, or end turn. Every step I take counts as a movement point. I can cast a spell which will immediately end my turn, archer someone with a lovely lovely sling for 2 damage, or maneuver around them to stab them in the back. I'll gif more combat and explain it next arena fight.

Actually, Aishlinn can probably explain it better. I just play the game blindly.

Glial or whatever sits all alone on a pile of hay.



That's the saddest thing I've ever heard. I demand that she come with us when we escape. I will absolutely not take no for an answer.


Straw is for sleeping, dummy. :downs:






Dun dun dun. We talked about escape and AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH SHARP PAIN MUST STOP TALKING


I can take a hint. I talk to her 3 or 4 more times just to make her head hurt more.



I walk up to Merzol and his badass crew and overhear them talking.



Merzol is level 7, I'm not gonna get mouthy. Its odd that the level 7 guy is not the strongest in the pens. Scar is only level 3 and considered the best.


So both Scar and Merzol want me to go fight again before they'll talk to me. I can take a hint.


Scar and Merzol are both dickholes.


I leave, needing to nap and then fight more to get some more experience. His henchmen need to learn to keep their mouths shut.


I take a nap. The rings of stone are the only safe places to nap in the game.

I take my time getting up there to the jailor. He is smarmy.



At least we get a rousing speech before we have to kill people.



Four halflings. Two archers, two punchers. They do a total of 0 damage. Aishlinn is seen stabbing a dude in the back for pretty good damage.


Slaying Man'tis joins the fray and kills a guy in one turn.


Kornec does the same.


I missed a screenshot. It was the announcer saying "That was TOO easy! Send out monsters!" This is what showed up.


I know I know, I'm awesome.


drat skippy we are!



The mo' money we come upon the mo' problems we see.

I can't go back, I got things to do!




Giving him water and cutting him loose gives me 750xp each! Insane. My guys are level 2, 3, and 4 now. I need to start using magic/psionic stuff in fights.


Meet me in the holding pen, we'll chat there!


This is the most useless conversation ever. Mostly because we already found the gem. He swears we're part of the Veiled Alliance, denies he is part of it. He tells us where the gem is hidden, and then says he wouldn't make it back to his cell in the pens so he'll just hang out outside.


Later.


Back to the pens with us!


And now it brings up a bunch of choices.

Do we:
A) Give the sketchy guy the gem so he can start bribing people.
B) Chat with Scar and see if we can become part of his gang.
C) Chat with Melzon (or whatever) and see if we can join them with their already-half-planned jailbreak?


We may need to do all 3 of these things to progress anyway, I honestly don't know.

I chatted with Dino because I wanted to know if I could break down that door next to him... Turns out he heard Glail screaming and knows how to fix her. So after missing a bunch of screenshots he followed me to her, laid his hands on her and she is fixed!




She thanks me, I cut straight to the chase and ask for the way out.




There are a bunch of cities, but they are not allied. Allied is the only way they could stand against the warlock/king/god Tc-chuck or whatever the hell it is. If only there was a plucky band of heroes that could escape a slave pen and ally the citystates against the evil british empire!


I am still too low level to talk to Scar or Melzor, so back to the arena I go.

Spermy Smurf
Jul 2, 2004
I am kicking rear end and taking names.


I walked into this room in the slave pen and a secret door opened!


I punched the guard who died, and now the secret door mine to command!


There was a chest, I snagged Magic arrows +3.


And some armor for the giant.


And a gem that is more than double the price of the one we were going to give to the sketchy guy, but I never did give it to him so we're rich bitches!


And then I couldn't get out of the room so I had to take the door off it's hinges. Fricken weird, there was probably some game mechanic about that but I just took it off and went back to the arena to fight.



I kill a bunch of dudes.


I go back to the slave pens and am at level 4. Melzor will talk to me. His escape plan is to ask to fight, then kill the guards that are there.


But I remember the doorway down by Dino and mention it to him. Melzor says it's just as bad.


Scar doesn't want to talk to me yet.



Searching haystacks and Dino's wardrobe gets me random poo poo. These are magic grapes that cure disease.




Yay or nay?



I can do this, kill his guys (maybe) and take whatever is in the haystack. Or I can use them as meatshields for a jailbreak.

We've only had the one vote on waiting for Scar, so I'm cool with that. We could kill these guys now, THEN wait for scar to talk to us. Maybe it wouldn't break the game.

We set up a fight between our two crews, then we get the hell out of there together. We fight our way through whatever they can throw at us.

Kill Melzor
Join Scar

Jul 2, 2004


Well that was easy. Only one of them even got to swing, and they missed. Kug broke a sword on Melzor's dumb face, so I had to replace it with another one.


When that finished I got called to the arena to fight. Yay.


This jagoff is still sitting here with his face against the wall. He doesn't say anything different, just thinks we're Veiled Alliance and refuses to help us fight.


And we must have triggered something by killing Melzor. Scar is here to fight us! Maybe it's the breakout plan put into motion even though I didn't say I wanted to do it yet?



Oh, it's either for real or we can maybe still team up. I'll be teaming up now hopefully!

Scar only has one henchman left, but he hasn't even taken a hit yet.



I make myself at home in the armory. There are like 20 more rooms to explore so I'll go do that and get some more screenshots.

And yes, I plan on going back down to the picture quoted in the post above and killing that dude and opening that green chest-looking thing.

Magic seems pretty useless but then again I have no idea what I am doing. No sense casting detonate for 1d8 when I can punch someone with dual wielding weapons for 1d10+6 with the same character.

I made my choice. Genocide for the sake of genocide is usually fun, but for the sake of the LP I chose not to kill everyone with Churrrrrrrr.



I snoop in every drain I can find, and Churrrrrr has a drain that I am not supposed to touch. He is level 2 and a complete sissy so I search it anyway and he backs off. I find a ring worth $500 which I equip on the best looking female, Aishlinn. Her competition is a giant and a bug, so it's not really much of a contest to be best looking.




I do some exploring, heading southwest along a narrow corridor and find this rear end in a top hat who will not let me in. Fine, I'll go around. What a dick.


I find more of these Ratmen or whatever they are (Tari?). They are all hanging out together down here and point me in the direction of the High Priest Mikquetzl after I tell them to shut up and show me to their leader.




McDouble the priest is in the middle of a pack of his ratbuddies. He's human, apparently using the ratmen as sacrifices which is abhorrent to me. Well, it is for this LP. Usually I just murder everyone that moves in games like this. They worship skulls which is odd by itself, but I'm just in time to watch some slicing and dicing! Of course the girl is probably a plot point, so I decide to save her. Slaying Man'tis has a heart of gold and refuses to stand by while innocents are killed!


This is tempting, Kornec is kind of useless, I'd rather have another giant.


But I decide to not be a sacrifice. He offers me a position within his gang to help do bad things. I decline.


He takes it well.


We are quickly surrounded. The mouse is on High Priest McDouble.


I punched McDouble a few times, he fell over.


We hit the bullseye and the dominoes begin to fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.



Oh cool, 1d2 gloves that cause blindness. Not really sure why I would need them, but :shrug:


We move north through the wide open temple and find what I thought was a corpse. If you squint real hard you can tell it's a tied up ratgirl.


There is a dastardly attack plan; McDouble's boys plan to attack the Skull Temple (whatever that is) so we need to giddyup and save it!


We are so god drat strong we overpower everything.


Whoops, I found the temple. I thought this was the RatGirl's father.


Found the father!


As if it was choreographed to begin when the father/daughter are reunited, the fanatics attack the temple I just accidentally found.


Kug and Slaying Man'tis get to work while Kornec does 6 damage and Aishlinn shoots arrows unless someone is backstabable.


The guys in black armor are the fanatics. They have breached the temple doors! We musn't let them get to the door in the bottom right of the pic.


Ran out of stupid movement points.


The fanatics have killed 3 or 4 defenders, so I throw Kug in the middle to draw their fire. The fanatics and defenders all do 1-3 damage. Kug does ~18 on a regular basis. He also swings 2-4 per attack.


*POW* Right in the kisser!


I just want to get out of the smelly sewers. Plus, Aishlinn is scared of rats and this whole ordeal is terrifying for her.


I remember that the RatFather owes me for saving his daughter. He gives me a helmet which is pretty badass (if I knew what the gently caress it did). It has 0AC but can cast a spell of reflection around the wearer which will reflect any gaze-type attack back at the caster. Do I have to manually cast this and waste a turn of punching people?


Oh yeah, thanks for the reminder. I need to talk to the skull elders which I assume are behind that locked door.


I kind of thought the elders would actually be elders, but they're just skulls. Skull Elders. They really went literal with that name.



They talk a lot. Like a LOT.


Hmmm, interesting. And Dagolar must be nearby in order to give them powers...


I get this a lot.



Condescending pricks. When I'm done with whatever quests there are, I might just murder everyone here on principal alone.



After being shot down for knowledge from the skulls that are all about knowledge... I finally get somewhere. Take the magic staff, go northeast and part the waters just like Moses and the Red Sea. Except this will be poo water, and I'm a giant bug.


They offer me parting knowledge of the world stirring. I did a TL;DR here and forgot to get screenshots. Oops.

I move to find Daglor in the poo waterfall but I am ambushed. I kill a bunch of slime.


I found a scroll somewhere along the way.


I loot some corpses.


More slime sneak attacks.




Kornec is useful now!


I wave the staff and the poo water parts.


Lets go Daglor'ing. Or Doglor'ing. Or whatever his name is.


gently caress yeah I do.


Oh god damnit a dragon.


Oh. Copyprotection.


I passed!


And I leave you for a few minutes with a linked gif of Daglor/Doglor/Dorlor/Whatever's hideout. It's huge. I have no idea what to do here, but I'm going to start by murdering a bunch of poo poo.
