I decided to go with Castle Blackridge next. It was a big step, entering my first castle, but in my head, it was either that, or mapping C-1, to the east of B-1, just so I could try and make it to C-2 on foot, without using any portals.
I was in Erliquin, which is in B-1. Since B-3 of Portsmith was pretty much cut off from C-2 of Sorpigal, I was thinking there’s a good chance that a direct route from B-1 to C-2 exists. Because of that, I decided to stay in B-1 and explore all of the locales here. It was underwhelming.
If you read my last posting, you’ll know I managed to get back to Sorpigal, purely by accident. With my experiences in Portsmith, I now felt strong enough to start dealing with my first quest – delivering a scroll to a wizard.
Writing my log as a story can sometimes be fun, but most of the time, it’s just difficult. I also suck at it, so it probably isn’t as fun to read as it is to write.
It’s been days now that the party has been stuck in Portsmith after stepping through that god-forsaken portal. Alana and Aleen have been doing their best to keep their fellowship alive, if not conscious, but it has been a difficult job doing so. They even managed to map the whole town and parts of the areas below it, but with no hope of finding a way to get through the magical traps aimed at males.
Last time in Might and Magic Book One, I just finished mapping Portsmith, so I decided to map what lies underneath the town. As it turns out, I wasn’t able to complete this task. Instead, I I’ll share what I did map, as well as some thoughts.
Over the past several weeks, I’ve been investing an average of an hour daily into DOTA2. I suck at it, but I somehow managed not to get completely destroyed by the infamous community. Since there’s nothing else I can write about, I’ll share my experiences.
So, the last time in Might and Magic, I entered the Inn in Portsmith with the intention to write down any rumors and then reload my game to continue from Sorpigal, since Portsmith is a bad place for non-girls. Something happened, though…
I pretty much explored most of the cave near Sorpigal, with only the tough encounter rooms remaining. Instead of bashing my head against the wall, I decided to do some easier encounters in the jail of Sorpigal, to earn some money and recover from all the deaths.
I’ve fully mapped the wilderness of Sorpigal. Well, I mostly fully mapped it. It turns out, I forgot to mark the transition to the northern region in the northeastern part of the map, but I’ll correct that at some point in the future. In case, it was time to give the cave near Sorpigal a try.
