Here we are, with fist-clenching Indy, as we take a ride into the desert. Conditions are harsh and it seems that the heat and the scorpions aren't the only danger we'll come across...

Damn, Nazi vehicles are patrolling the area, they better not catch us.

Alternate History - FISTS : Unauthorized Holes In The Desert.

Thank god these friendly Nomads are here to help us.

Salaam, effendi.

Have you seen anyone digging around here ?

Well, I've seen foreigners with trucks and equipment.

Tracks ? Equipment ? Where ?

Alas, effendi, to describe that I need a map.

That, we can provide:

What do you make of this map ?

Hmm, this "X" is a little to the south and to the west.

Thanks for the information.

Ok, let's follow his instructions... Crap, those Nazis are getting close !

I'm taking you back to the city.

The idiot doesn't know who it is he's dealing with.

You and what army ?

Schweine !

He manages to land a couple of lucky hits, but that just makes X-treme Indy mad, so he makes him his personal punching bag.

..
..
..
..

And that's the end of those annoying sandnazis. It's time we found the dig site.

Looks like I lost those guys.

Yep, and look at this:

Awesum ! I'm sure this time we'll be able to use the truck...

Oh well, let's look around... Huh ? a rope ladder that leads to a... Balloon ! So that's where it w-

Yikes !

Somebody's shooting at me !

Yeah, I noticed. We better get as far away from the balloon as possible and try to get down to the dig.

Still pitch dark, but at least the generator has gas this time around.

Let there be light ! Something tells me we should check that painting.

...or a stone disk ?

Let's push it !

Well now, here's something the Nazis missed.

Woo-hoo, we finally got our hands on the sunstone. Let's get outta here !

SHIT ! we're trapped !
It's time to utilize our surroundings. We find the unbelievably useful ship rib...

A clay jar that actually has an orichalcum bead inside...

And of course a wooden peg. You know the drill, we uncover the mural:

It's a map of the island of CRETE with a hole in the middle

A hole to put our wooden peg and the sunstone, that is.

A-ha !

Judging by the placement of the stone on this mural, I should head for CRETE !

Let's go then !

^ Proof of man's superiority

Uh-oh

You've dug an UNAUTHORIZED HOLE !

This sounds serious, maybe we should try to bluff him...

That's a relief, because Kolonel Kerner will be back soon and he generally shoots people for digging around here. Now, sit still.

Why are you detaining me here ?

I'm waiting for Kolonel Kerner to return, whereupon you'll be interrogated, tortured, beaten, and left to die in the trackless desert.

Is that so ?

Yes. Unless you misbehave, in which case we'll think of something nasty.

Oh.

Enough with this crap, let's open an unauthorized hole in his thick skull !

Try anything and you're a DEAD MAN.

We'll see about that !

FISTS vs MACHINE-GUN : 0-1

..
..
..
..
..

We better think of something else.

WHIP vs MACHINE-GUN : 1-0

Badassery talks, bullshit walks !

:SMACK:

Not entirely true. He has a Balloon after all !

Next time we'll charge through the ancient ruins of Knossos, like a Minotaur during mating season.

Good job as always.
No stupid jokes in sig!

ghostdog · Aug 17, 2010

oh right. fixed.

SoupNazi · Aug 21, 2010

This thread suffers from a serious case of lack of updates.

ghostdog · Aug 21, 2010

I know.

Blame that insane time-sinker called ranceVII.

Brother None · Aug 21, 2010

But...that wasn't a dialog option, was it?

Where am moar of this magnificence?

Nope, this says this as soon as you use the whip on ze german. More to come soon.

MOAR!

ghostdog · Aug 22, 2010

Ahh, here we are in beautiful Crete...

And thank god we have this awesome balloon, we can use it to go anywhere we want-

:/

Alternate History - FISTS : You there, Amerikanner ! Kommen zie.

So let's use our metagaming knowledge and breeze through the ruins of Knossos quickly. We find the Surveyor's Transit :

The ancient Diagram in one of the chambers...

The lines appear to converge on that circle. Could the circle be one of the stone disks ?

Of course it's one of the stone disks ! Haven't you've been paying attention ?

So now we need to find the Bull's tail and Bull's horns statues. We search the various rubble scattered around and we finally find them.

Astonishing ! We'll use the surveyor's transit to triangulate the location of the disk.

TA-DAAA !

Let's dig with our ship-rib multitool.

It must be one of the Moonstones Plato wrote about !

Remarkable. Who would have guessed that ? Time to go to the pedestal and use our stones.

What do you know ! A secret door ! Now nothing stands between us and th-

HALT !

Ahh, and I was starting to miss those green-uniformed buggers.

We've got already one Amerikanner working for us. That's about all we can stand.

Huh ? Do tell.

An American working for YOU ? Who's that ?

Dr. Fraulein Hapgood, that's who. She's a hellish Vixen, But when coaxed she can be very useful.

Damn, they've got Sophia ! I feel sorry for them.

Oh yeah ? Try coaxing me !

With pleasure !

:SLAM:

Say bye bye to Klaus and say hello to the Labyrinth !

I'll bet the last stone disk and Atlantis are waiting for me beyond that door...

I won't bet against that. Let's pick up 2 of the heads and then use our whip from the other side of the door in order to get all 3 of them.

But some things are different this time around, since we find a strange stone door we hadn't found before...

Let's try to open it.

It sure is heavy.

Nothing. We'll leave it for now and move on.

We find the chamber with the minotaur statue again. We'll need his big head to use the elevator.

And guess who we find down there...

It seems he knew a LOT more than he let on, but not enough to find a way out of here.

The staff is right there, but there's no worldstone to be found and the note is different :

Sternhart said:
I am convinced the Map Room lies beyond the chasm I couldn't cross.
If only I weren't trapped down here...

So it's a chasm now, eh ? Let's pick up the staff and see if we can do anything in the next room.

It's too high to reach.

Without Sophia we can't use the hole, so we better climb back up with the elevator chain.

Now since we have the 3 heads, let's open the bronze door we find in the next room...

You know the drill. We use the staff to activate another elevator and reach the priceless gold box.

There's an orichalcum bead underneath it ! I'll take that too.

Of course we'll take it ! Now we have two beads , but that doesn't help us much because we can't find that damn chasm Sternhart mentioned ! And we haven't found a way to open that fucking door, either !!

This puzzle can easily make you rage, because you actually have to push the slab multiple times...

:push again:

Did it move a little bit, or is it my imagination ? Come on, fall over !

Bingo! So, this is the chasm Sternhart mentioned, I wonder how the hell he knew about it. Oh well, it's whipping time.

:famous indy tune plays in the background:

That's more like it ! A couple or rooms ahead we come upon two soldiers:

But if we try to move ahead, their super-hearing detects us.

Now, we could try fighting this guy, but I have a better idea. Let's hide behind that conveniently placed slab and...

Hans is history, but his friend is still waiting in the other side.

And where's Hans ?

Hans is taking a nap.

Hans would NEVER sleep on duty.

And that takes care of our pal, Franz. Further on we find yet one more nazi to flatten.

No civilians allowed in here.

Now wait a minute...

Let's see if xtreme Indy can successfully bluff him.

What do you mean ? I AM at my post... I think.

Idiot ! Your post was on the other side of this pit !

What... ? I'm sorr- HEY, you're trying to TRICK me !

Bluff check failed. Collar grabbing persuasion initiated.

Sweet dreams, Otto. Now let's move on-
GODDAMMIT ! these caverns are crawling with nazis.

Hans and Franz sent me.

You expect me to believe that ?

You all know the outcome, we made a believer out of Karl.

Let's hope he's the last one we-

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Explain yourself and be quick !

Let's get this over with.

"Patsy ?" What is this, "patsy ?"

You are. It's written all over you.

Finally the soldier realizes it's time for him to get a good beating.

And that's the last we'll hear of Kurt. In the next room we find, guess what, another soldier ! But this time we have the advantage, since he hasn't seen us. Let's have a look at this hanging column of rock...

A-HA ! Time for a nazi shish-kebab.

SURPRISE BUTTSEKS !

A stone-age weapon for a stone-age guy.

Anton has left the building. I hope there aren't many nazis left, because we're running out of distinctive German names.

We climb down the crevice and move on... when we suddenly hear someone singing.

I wonder where that heavenly voice comes from ?

You there, Amerikanner ! Kommen zie, I wont hurt you.

What seems to be the problem, trooper ?

Know any good drinking tunes ?

Bah, it's time we kicked his drunken ass...

Why, you insolent pup ! Now I'll have to amuse myself by tearing your head off.

You'll be whistling a different tune pretty quick !

Ja, taps.

As you can see his life meter is huge and he can kill Indy with two hits. Let's refer to our Indy handbook.

Meh, beating him in a duel is a real pain in the ass. We better come up with some good drinking songs, or we're screwed.

Say, that's a good one. Now be on your way.

Great, but we still need to get him out of the way. Let's search that cavern on the north... WHOA !

You know, I can't put my finger on it, but this boulder looks vaguely familiar

Yeah, and it also looks very useful for the situation we're in. Maybe we should use our sturdy ship-rib to move this puppy.

Oh no, the ship rib broke. Looks like I'm trapped.

Great. Why can't puzzles always go well, like in most adventure games ? Now we have to go back to our buddy, Arnold the singer.

Achtung ! Know any more songs ?

Gee tough question... How about "Yankee Doodle Dandy" ?

That's a good one. Now be on your way.

Phew. Let's see if we can push the boulder from the other side.

Damn ! That thing is unmovable and we've got nothing to use as leverage. Hmm, what about that hunk of rock we threw on Anton's head ?

It'd wedge-shaped piece of rock. It could be useful.

You bet your ass it could. It's big enough to push that boulder.

Well, that shattered my rock wedge, but it worked !

Ouch

No shit. Let's frisk him.

Hmm... there's an amber fish on a sting in his pocket and he also had a couple of orichalcum beads !

Fuck yeah ! Things start to look better. We've got the orichalcum detector and guess what lies in the room behind Arnold... THE MAP ROOM !

Laid out just as Plato described it, in three concentric circles !

But we don't have the worldstone so we can't do anything in here. CRAP ! what now ?

Hmm, let's try using the fish. First we'll hide the orichalcum we already have...

Then we use the amber fish.

FUCK. We'll have to try this in ALL the previous rooms.

***

[After numerous failed attempts]

***

Huh ? Into the pit ? Is someone in there ?
Hmmm, how about using the whip...

Well, that was unexpected.

Thanks...

I guess you finally got on Kerner's nerves, huh ?

I don't want to talk about it. But look what I found down there !

It's the worldstone Sternhart nabbed in Tikal !

Very GOOD, doctor.

Huh, that was a good one. We fished out both Sophia AND the worldstone. Let's put them to use.

Hmm, a different door opened this time. I wonder what awaits beyond it...

An EXIT !
... and a Stone pointer with an inscription on it...

Sophia, take a look at this !

Hmm. According to the inscription, the arrow on this pedestal is pointing north towards the Lesser Colony of Atlantis !

The nearest landmass up north is a volcanic island called THERA.

Well, then, that's our next stop !

Thera, it is.

taplonaplo · Aug 22, 2010

I'm curious to see the wits path. Team beats fist without a second thought so far.

ghostdog · Aug 23, 2010

I'd say Team = Wits > fists.

But when it comes to LP material I can't say for sure. We'll see.

Brother None · Aug 24, 2010

Huh, I kinda didn't expect Sophia back, at least not in any major role. I assume she disappears again soon?

Anyway: good, moar, etc etc

ghostdog · Aug 25, 2010

Next update will be ready soon, but it's a bitchy update that demands a new clean page in order to show its pretty little ass.

SoupNazi · Aug 25, 2010

Is it now?

SoupNazi · Aug 25, 2010

I guess it is.
