THEY CALLED HIM ARKHAM. HE WAS A GUARDIAN OF FIRE.
ONE OF THE BEST.
NEVER DISOBEYED AN ORDER. NEVER FAILED A MISSION.
HE WAS GIVEN A TASK : PROTECT THE SUNSEERS. AND THAT HE DID.

s01screen0095.jpg




THAT FATEFUL DAY, WHEN EVIL INVADED THE STALLITE, HE SAVED THE SUNSEER.
WHEN DARKNESS -IN LIQUID FORM- ATTACKED THE PRIESTESS, HE THREW HIMSELF IN FRONT OF HER.
BUT ALAS, THE DARKNESS INFECTED HIM. IT DEFORMED HIM. IT BURNED HIM.

s02screen0178.jpg
s03screen0249.jpg


SET-UP, DOUBLE-CROSSED AND LEFT FOR DEAD...



BUT HE SURVIVED.
NOW HE MUST HURRY AND FIND A CURE, OR HE WILL BE CONSUMED.
BUT WHO CAN HE TRUST TO HELP HIM ? FANATIC PRIESTS SAY THAT HE IS NOW A CREATURE OF EVIL.
TRIGGER HAPPY GUARDIANS ATTACK HIM WITHOUT WARNING.
WOMEN AND CHILDREN FLEE AT THE SIGHT OF HIS ROTTING FIGURE.

s04sc00599.jpg
s05sc00641.jpg




CAN HE TRUST THE PROVOST ? A MAN THAT DECLARED MARTIAL LAW AND OVERTHREW THE SUNSEERS IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ATTACK ?
CAN HE TURN TO THE MASTER HEALER? A MAD SCIENTIST WHO WANTS TO MAKE CORPSES WALK AGAIN ?
CAN HE EVEN TRUST HIMSELF, WHEN DARKNESS SLOWLY -BUT STEADILY- CORRUPTS HIM ?

s06sc00857.jpg
s06sc00923.jpg




ONLY HIS FATHER MAY KNOW OF A CURE THAT LIES IN A SECRET CRYPT, BUT HE HAS DISAPPEARED !
HIS FRIENDS CAN'T HELP HIM, THEY TELL HIM TO FLEE TO THE DARKLANDS BEFORE SOMEONE PENS HIM TO THE DEAD BOOK.
EVEN HIS LOVER, KALHI --POSSIBLY THE ONLY FEMALE THAT CAN LOOK AT HIM WITHOUT DISGUST-- HAS BEEN ARRESTED AND SENT TO PRISON !

It's time to get our beloved Kalhi out of prison.

I don't know how the hell you got here, but you ain't getting out !

arkham2.png
Hey, hey hey ! Calm down !


Sadly, the guard doesn't hear reason... there will be blood.

sc01016b.jpg

sc01018.jpg



The fight is brutal... and short.


sc01025.jpg



The other prisoners beg for their freedom, but to no avail. The key we find on the guard works only for one of the doors here...

sc01028.jpg



...The only door we really need to open.

sc01033.jpg

sc01036.jpg


Of course it's Arkham, who did you expect ? A horrible monster ? (hurdur)

kalhi.png
Sweetheart, I thought I'd never see you again!

arkham2.png
But what were you doing in prison?

kalhi.png
The Guardians of Fire, they captured me in Rylsadhar's room. They said Rylsadhar had disappeared, and then they suspected me of having something to do with it.

arkham2.png
WHat do you make of all this ?

kalhi.png
I don't have the slightest idea... I'm afraid something bad has happened to Rylsadhar!

arkham2.png
Hmm, for the time being we should just get out of here.

kalhi.png
Yes, but the Guardians of Fire are looking for you. It won't be easy to get past them.

arkham2.png
Well, with a face like mine, it's kind of hard to blend in with the crowd. And your Scavenger clothes... they stand out all right.

kalhi.png
After the way you messed up that guard, I doubt if we can use his uniform...


Yes, but we've got Bogdaran's old uniform, don't we ?

kalhi.png
All right! Let's get going!

arkham2.png
We'll go as far as the hall. Then we'll see if we can go down.

kalhi.png
Whatever you say, chief!


Then Kalhi proves that she's obviously the brains in this relationship.

sc01073.jpg


kalhi.png
There's a guardian over there. Stay beside me and don't get too far away.


He is easily fooled.


sc01082.jpg


kalhi.png
Hello to you, Guardian of Fire. I'm escorting this prisoner to the Hospital.

guardianmurkhan.png
Sure. Be careful with him.


sc01088.jpg

sc01089.jpg


kalhi.png
He'll never let you go down, with or without me.

arkham2.png
What should we do ?

kalhi.png
Trust me! I'm gonna get rid of him.


We trust. As we approach the elevator, Kalhi takes once more the initiative.

sc01097.jpg

sc01098.jpg



You're the boss, darling.


sc01100.jpg


kalhi.png
You were summoned to go with Guardian... uh... (mumble)... to the Rahal room.

Ah, the old "mumble" trick.

guardiantelk.png
What? This is the first I've heard about it !

kalhi.png
Hurry up! Dhorkan's not in a good mood today!

guardiantelk.png
Dhorkan! Well... I'm on my way! Thanks.


No wonder these idiots let the murderers enter the Council room in the first place. But let's not forget Kalhi's excellent performance...

sc01111.jpg


kalhi.png
Thanks. But let's not hang around. Give me a minute and I'll get out of this crummy uniform!

Lower City, here we come !

I vaguely remember there being some goodies in Kahli's cell. The cubbyhole in the wall is the obvious place to search, but I think there was something to be found at the bed.

I believe I searched both places and found nothing of value, but I may have missed something, who knows.

Maybe I remember wrong then. Or maybe it was some even more nondescript place you had to search. Or maybe something appears there once the game progresses. My memory is lousy.

Pure awesomeness. I'm not talking about only this LP and the even ass-uglier protagonist. I signed up just to let you know that I've been ignoring society for the last few nights after work just so I can read all of your LPs.

Now how the hell do I upload my own avatar? Is the gallery the only choice? Duh... So I chose King Burlock.

Heh. King Burlock. "I am the King."

Hey, what's going on with you, my dear canine friend?

Nigras stole you internets or sth?

Or maybe you were one of Prateek Sanjay's alts all along?!

Ah, I don't know... I suddenly lost interest in LPs these last few days.


Also I'm supposed to be studying for my university exams.

Eh, what can I say. It's one of those LPs that have grown cold.

A good place to own a gun.
Effort of will required! I have about 10 games in rotation right now, and have to keep refocusing to make it through. I left PS:T so long I had to start over. I even had to reinstall from scratch because I couldn't find my old install (I have a lot of external drives). But the obsessive drive for completeness forced me onwards! You too can be driven by pointless, non-constructive obsession...do it!

(otherwise, I'll have to play this fucking game myself. Please don't make me do that).

EDIT1: BTW, this polygon babe was the one on the German cover. Apparently they felt that it was necessary to have a character that appeases only for a brief moment --instead of, let's say, the actual protagonists-- in order to appeal to the Krauts.

EDIT2: If only PST had adopted the same philosophy...
