Let's Discover The Fate Of Atlantis ! (Completed)

Mrowak · Aug 26, 2010

Let's bump this thread into overdrive :lame on-liner is lame:

EDIT: Objective achieved comrade Ghostdog. Ready for orders!

ghostdog · Aug 26, 2010

Chapter approaching with incredible speed. Prepare yourselves.

ghostdog · Aug 26, 2010

Last time we beat the shit out of wimpy Germans, threw boulders on the heads of stronger Germans, acquired all the key stones, saved the girl and found an exit from the labyrinth. Not bad, eh ? So, now we'll be heading over to Thera, which may once have been the Lesser Colony of Atlantis.

Cool, a completely new area. :D

Alternate History - FISTS : One Rude Archaeologist Is Quite Enough.

THERA... the whole island is the rim of an extinct volcano. There's a Greek scholar named Marinatos who claims the place exploded in 1600 BC and wiped out civilization all over the Mediterranean.

Kind of like Krakatoa.

Exactly, only bigger. Maybe it wiped out Atlantis as well.

It's useless to speculate, what's our plan ?

That's a good idea.

But what if Atlantis was vaporized when Thera exploded ?

Nur-Ab-Sal knows the Lost Kingdom still lives.

I wonder if that fisherman knows anything.

Why don't you ask him ?

Let's do that.

Ahoy, yourself ! If it's salvage work you need, I'm your man. No job too big. No job too small.

I did see some German gentlemen a while back, but not recently.

This is a pretty run-down boat.

Watch what you say about Bessie here ! She may not look like much, but she's got what it takes. Run-down !? You'd best apologize, mister.

He's pretty butthurt, so we'll need to apologize to Bessie if we want more out of him.

Sorry, Bessie.

That's better. Now what were we talking about ? I forget.

You ever hear of Atlantis ?

Of course. And dragons and mermaids and...

So you think it's just a myth ?

I've heard tell that down in the tropics they've got fish that fly, so who knows.

Who knows indeed... Let's see what Sophia things of this whole deal.

Put it this way, I don't think he's ready to bring up the Titanic.

I wonder what Kerner is up to right now.

I'll bet he wonders the same thing about us.

Well, what we're going to do is search the Island. Since the Germans where snooping around here, we might find something useful. There's a path leading away to the mountains.

Where are you going ?

Trust me.

*sigh* I'll wait here.

It's time for Indy to do some serious archeology. That cleft in the mountain sure looks interesting.

Good archaeologists don't give up that easily. Let's check out that mysterious notch in the mountain.

Nothing here either.

Dammit ! What about that gap in the mountain ?

Success !

Hmm. Kerner must have been here. What's that near the truck ?

We can't use it with the truck since it's missing it's tire, but I'm sure it will be useful, let's grab it. Now, is that smoke coming from the hill side ?

This looks like a natural gas fissure.

I sure hope the volcano isn't still alive. But Indy hasn't got time to think about it, since his gaze is turned to the collapsed entrance we find here :

Who knows? Maybe it led straight to Atlantis.

Maybe it did, but it can't be of use now. Time to head back.

I've read there were tunnels connecting Atlantis to her colonies, Maybe he found one.

Looks like we're in a real race.

We better hurry then. Let's see if that captain can be of help.

Can you take us to Atlantis ?

If I knew where it was, I could.

Where exactly do you want to go ?

That's a really good question. Do we know anything about the position of Atlantis ? Hey ! wasn't this mentioned in Plato's dialogue ?

Hmm, the Lesser colony is 170 miles northeast of Atlantis. So, *if* Thera IS the lesser colony then Atlantis must be 170 miles southwest of Thera. But don't forget Plato's ten-fold error, it's not really 170 miles, it's 17 miles !

In what direction ?

Southwest of Thera.

DO you know where that puts us ? Since you don't seem to know, I'll tell you-- IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN !

Huh, we knew that of course.

Then you also know you're going to need a diving suit.

Actually... could I borrow your diving equipment ?

I guess so, but there's a hole in the suit. Are you sure you know what you're doing ?

No worries. Indy is an expert at filling holes

Yes, of course.

Alright, Mr. All-American explorer type... let's find Atlantis.

Yeah ! Let's !

Just remember, if it sank like they say it did, I claim the salvage rights !

Are you sure ?

You told me where to go and I brought you here. There's a diving suit in one of the lockers, the rest is up to you.

Aren't you going to help ?

I'm againt helping anyone into an early grave. From now on, you're on your own.

At least we have Sophia for emotional support.

Don't look at me, I didn't sink it.

Think your old pal Sal would be proud of us ?

Sorry, I'm not in contact at the moment.

Yeah, mr. Sal only appears for a bullshit prophecy, or two. Let's see what's in that locker.

Uh-oh, there's a small HOLE in it.

Not for long, because we have that awesome tire repair kit.

Great. Now let's connect the air-hose to the suit...

...and turn on the air compressor.

We're all set. Time to put on the suit.

You'll have to get me into the water, Sophia.

Now we get hold of Sophia, once more. Since there's no undress command so we could see her sunbathing in bikini, we'll just try to find a way to put Indy in the water.

It seems we'll have to use that hoist.

And we fall like a rock into the vast ocean...

Don't stop, Atlantis is right below me !

Guess who it is.

Perfect. Another slimy creature oozing from the depths !

Now now, Fraulein Hapgood, I have no wish to shoot you... don't make me change my mind.

What mind ?

I see you've acquired some bad manners from your friend Jones. Where is he, may I ask ?

Back on Thera. You'll never find him.

Really... What do you say, Captain ?

Motherfucker ! You'll meet your end in the jaws of a shark, don't you worry !

I tried to keep Jones from diving, but he's a very determined man.

Now, he's a dead man. One rude achaeologist is quite enough for my purposes.

:SLIT:

FUCK.

I've got maybe three minutes of air in my suit. Better start hiking !

Let's hurry then. There are many underwater caves here, we'll have to check them out.

Dammit, the air is running out !

What about that cave to the left ?

Nothing here, either.

SHIT ! the clock is ticking ! If we don't find the entrance soo-

I must be hundreds of feet below sea level, yet there's enough air pressure to keep the water out !

This can mean only one thing folks. We've reached Atlantis !

And that concludes the run of the FISTS path.

Brother None · Aug 26, 2010

That was p good to read in LP-format even if it wasn't too much fun to play. I expect wits to be even more

Darth Slaughter · Aug 26, 2010

I remember if you die underwater after the three minutes, there was a Monkey Island reference.

Sceptic · Aug 26, 2010

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

If I recall you get some funny responses if you talk to the pit first.

Great LP. Carry on good sir.

Good catch.

Heh. Cute.

Drakron · Aug 29, 2010

So, next is wits path right?

spekkio · Aug 30, 2010

Great job, ghostdog. Now stop fapping to hentai-scenes in Rance and continue!

ghostdog · Aug 30, 2010

:fap: :fap: :fap:

eh ? next update ? Yeah, it's wits path ...I'm working on it.

:fap: :fap: :fap:

Gondolin · Aug 30, 2010

Don't tease us.

ghostdog · Aug 30, 2010

So, up to now Indy has first tried his luck with Sophia and then with his fists (pun intended), how about using our legendary wits for a change ?

WITS ? Junior, I think you're going to need my help in this one.

*sigh*

Let's go back to that fateful moment:

Are you absolutely sure ?

Yes, I'm sure. I like to think.

^ a sound argument.

Okay, if that's how you feel... you're on your own. Good luck.

I'll send you a postcard

Alternate History - WITS : A Spit In The Face.

This time I think we'll head to Monte Carlo first. Collective memory tells us that this man in the brown suit may be Trottier...

Umm... perhaps... who's asking ?

I'm Dr. Indiana Jones.

Ah... yes, of course, the famous archaeologist !

Yup, I'm just about the world's greater adventurer.

I see that modesty isn't one of your virtues. I am Trottier, amateur scholar, part-time poet, professional dreamer.

Enough with the pleasantries, let's cut to the chase :

Ahh, my reputation precedes me. To prove you're worth dealing with, answer me this : what was Plato's great error ?

Anyone who has read Plato's Lost Dialogue knows it was an error of translation.

Yes ! Excellent ! Personally, I doubt I can help you, but my name IS recognized among dealers in antiquities. Maybe my business card will be of some use to you.

Thanks.

Feel free to look me up whenever you're in town, au revoir.

Bah, all we managed to get from him was his measly business card. Our only option now, is Algiers.

In this path too the market area is mainly empty. The only thing of interest is the shop in the back alley.

Let's see if we can find Omar.

You mean MISTER AL-JAbbar ? Ha ha ha , no effendi. I'm his trusted servant Paul Abdul.

Can you arrange a meeting with Mr. Al-Jabbar ?

I suppose I could, effendi, but my master rarely deals with clients in person. Why should I bother him ?

How about proof that we know an amateur scholar, part-time poet, professional dreamer ?

Ahh, the business card of Monsieur Trottier. That's different.

Can you arrange the meeting, then ?

Perhaps Mr. Al-Jabbar WILL desire to speak with you, after all. Wait here till I get back.

Like hell we'll wait. Let's follow him and find Omar's place.

Dammit ! The servant is a gray dot that moves fast through the crowds. We *could* try to follow him it's very difficult to keep up to him.

I think I lost him.

Crap.
One thing of interest is that we see see man walking around, wearing a red fez.

Junior, than man with the red fez is easy to spot in the crowds.

Yeah, he sure is.

It's not the fez that makes the man, but it can surely identify him, don't you think ?

Hmmm... I think you're on to something here.

We can follow the man into the market place.

He sure looks happy.

Asking him about anything else than the fez leads nowhere. The dude is all about the fez.

Why thank you. Are you here for the festival ?

Festival ? What festival ?

Why, the festival of Life, of course.

No, you damn hippie , all we care about is your fez.

No, but that's quite a hat.

Do you like it ?

Strangely, the Sheppard response is the right one here.

Oh my, yes. Why does it attract you ?

Hmmm, the red color... it symbolizes BLOOD... WAR... and that you want have sex with your mother.

Wut ? stop this nonsense ! You're Dr. Heimdal in this LP, remember ?

I see that you're in denial. Tell me... how often to you have the urge to masturbate ?

I SAID ENOUGH !!!

I fear that a severe childhood trauma lies behind this anger. But we'll have to talk about it in our next session, time is up. 100 euros.

:/

So, where were we ? Ah, yes, we have to use our wits to obtain a red fez.

Aha ! You observe closely, my friend. With a fez one becomes truly fez-tive. Undoubtedly you feel envy, no ?

Why, yes... of course. Envy has reached critical levels.

Well...

Of course you are ! But there is no need. Here, take my fez and join the fez-tivities !

Our delicate envoy persuasion was utterly successful !

It's yours, Don't you need it ?

Not any more. The very act of giving it to you, has lifted me to a higher state of fez-tivity.

Say, thanks a lot.

Someday... someday you'll understand.

:salute:

Awesome. Let's see if Paula has returned.

Mr. Al-Jabbar says that he's sorry, but he can't see you now.

Unacceptable ! It's time to weave our sublime veil of deception.

You know, I think this fez may interest you.

Why would I want a fez ?

Why, indeed...

I'm a happily married man, sir !

Well... it's a magic good luck fez.

But I work for Mr.Al-Jabbar, that's good luck enough.

Yeah, ok. But this fez will make you look taller.

Really ? I could be taller ?

A veritable giant among men.

Let me see that fez.

Quite a bit taller.

Thank you for making my life complete, effendi.:D

My pleasure. Now, could you go see Mr. Al-Jabbar again ?

Well, you DO know Trottier... perhaps I didn't explain things very well to my master. Wait here until I get back.

Following him is a piece of cake this time around.

I don't want to see him, understand ?

Yes, sir...

And what's with the red fez ?

Err... I think it looks good on m-

WAZZUP ?

Aha !

Dr. Jones, I suppose. What an unpleasant surprise !

Shall I remove this peasant, master ?

That won't be necessary, Paul. Now be a good lad and alert the police, while I entertain our guest.

But-

We'll talk about YOUR punishment later.

...gulp...

And now we're alone with Omar, at last.

I had no idea the famous Indiana Jones was such a fool... traveling so far and risking so much in pursuit of a mere myth.

It's no myth, as you well know.

No ? Let's talk it over. My house is your house until the gendarmes arrive.

In this path Omar is a duchebag.

Ha ha ha. I might as well help you find the moon.

You ever meet someone named Klaus Kerner ?

I don't discuss my associates with anyone, Doctor. Least of all YOU.

Don't you think you're in over your head ?

My friends and I... we help each other. So watch yourself.

Listen...

This conversation grows tiresome.

Correction : In this path Omar is a MAJOR duchebag. He wont say anything more from this point on. Maybe we should search his house.

And the nicer the sooner you leave it.

REALLY ? Let's check out this nice place.

He doesn't like the idea of us snooping around and since we can't throw a punch --or Sophia-- on him, we'll have to think of something else. Let's have a look at that closet.

You know, Junior, a caged Baboon is less annoying than a free one...

Spare me the Chinese proverbs father...

But Dr. Henry Jones senior has a point. Let's rummage through the closet.

And trap the baboon inside...

Oh yes... yes, I can.

Trap me... torture me... kill me... I'll never tell you ANYTHING about Atlantis !

Strong latch on your closet door, I notice.

Ha ! I spit in your face !

That didn't go as planned.

May the sand cover you without trace !

Mr. Jabbar...

Let me out !

I want you to help me find Atlantis.

Reveal my DISCOVERY after what you've done to me ?

What discovery ?

The one the Germans are exploring. They're out in the desert right now, digging up an outpost of the Lost Kingdom.

Couldn't help but talk about it after all.

Perhaps the Atlanteans were establishing a settlement, or maybe they were fleeing for their lives. Let me out and we'll discuss it.

Yeah right. He's not leaving that closet any time soon.

Tell me more about this dig site.

Not until you let me out.

Don't worry, Paul will let you out eventually.

You'll regret this Jones.

If we let him out he'll run out of the house, so he's staying there. Anyway, now we have the house at our disposal. Let's pick up the two statues...

May scorpions pluck out your eyeballs !

...And let's use the bamboo stick to grab the cloth map. Something tells me it's about the dig site.

The stick broke, but I got the map !

That map won't do you any good ! There are NO NAMES on it !

That's what Nomads are for

May a goat be the mother of your children !

I think it's time to use that camel and split from this joint.

You'll never find the dig site !

Awww, put a sock in it !

Next stop : Nomad camp. I'm sure they can make something of this map.

...to the south and to the east.

Thanks.

Eh ? It seems there are some other people on camels that ride around the desert and they're labeled as "trouble". I wonder why ?

Ooops, we've come across one of them.

We're screwed... We've bumped on a civil servant.

taplonaplo · Aug 30, 2010

I like the jerk Indy. He could be more wittier tho.
Go on!

Brother None · Aug 31, 2010

That's just wrong.

I expected more puns and witticisms from Indy in this path.

ghostdog · Aug 31, 2010

Well, you may expect car chases, car crashes, cave-ins and crafting of aerial devices in the near future.

DaveO · Aug 31, 2010

Thanks for the stamina to go thru the Team and Fists path. I wish you success in showing the Wits path as well as completing the game. Excellent LP!

ghostdog · Sep 2, 2010

So where were we ? Ah, yes, we've managed to evade Nazis, desert scorpions and mischievous merchants only to be stopped by the unstoppable force of custom officers...

I'm a duty sworn officer of the foreign legion and I stop anyone I please.

Let's see if he is a TRUE civil servant

:

What would it take to forget we ever met ?

Well now, that depends on what you have to offer...

Heh, it's a good thing we plundered Omar's home and we stole those statues, because they can be used as a bribe. If we didn't have anything to give him we would be brought back to the city. I think I'll give him the cheap soapstone statue, because I want to hang on to the Maltese Falcon for sentimental reasons.

...a rare and beautiful soapstone statue.

Why thank you. Go in peace !

Nice doing business with ya.

Alternate History - WITS : Nazi Agents On Our Trail.

With a some more help from the Nomads we finally get to the dig site...

Let's check out the truck.

I wonder If we'll ever manage to use that truck. Anyway, there's nothing more here, so we better climb down the ladder into the dig. Total darkness awaits us and we stumble onto a metal thing...

But when we try to switch it on...

Darn, let's ~~look~~ touch around.

Hmmm, there's a long, tubular thing here, it must be a hose. And there's also something that feels like a clay jar.

And inside the jar we find...

So... we absolutely need gas. And we've got a hose, a clay jar and an abandoned truck. The solution is obvious.

Great. Let's empty the gas into the generator and switch it on. Hey, what's that painting to the left ?

Is that a ball these figures are tossing around or a stone disk ?

Something tells me we should push this thing.

:pushes painting of round object:

It resembles that statue Kerner stole from me.

Huh ? Instead of a sunstone this time around we find a statue... AT least the sturdy ship rib is still here for us to use...

Now, to the right, there's a part of the wall that's crumbling, I bet that with the ship-rib we could bring it down.

There's a mural behind this crumbling rock !

Let's examine it...

...but now it's unreadable.

Damn, no mural for us to use this time either, what's going on here ? Maybe there's something we've missed. Let's get back up.

Hey ! It appears there's a piece of paper on the truck's seat :

It reads...

"Achtung Kerner: Trap set in Monte Carlo for Trottier STOP"

"Bait is seance with Madame Sophia STOP"

"Need you here soonest STOP"

It's signed, "Ubermann."

The Nazis are after Trottier and it seems they've got their clutches on Sophia, too ! We must head back to Monte Carlo immediately ! Let's ride that camel back to-

:/

Our only hope now is to somehow get this truck moving. It was missing a spark plug, right ? Maybe the generator has one we could use. Let's open it's panel :

Great ! A hunch tells me it's gonna fit just right into the truck's engine...

What did I tell you ?

It looks okay, but it still needs a battery.

How the hell are we going to find a car battery ?!

We'll need some kind of power-source, junior.

Power-source... The ORICHALCUM !

Indeed ! And we'll also need something that can harness that power. Something of Atlantean origin, perhaps...

Hmm ?...The statue !

Good idea doctor ! Let's put the bead into the statues mouth...

A-HA ! Now, maybe we should use the statue with the engine.

I'll just touch the horns to the plug leads...

Whoa ! What a spark !

What do you know...

The engine started !

We better get hold of Trottier, fast.

Well, yes, I hear she's in town. I'm trying to work up the courage to propose my latest theory of Atlantis to her.

What theory ? I'd love to hear it.

It concerns the location of the lesser colony... oh... Very clever, Dr.Jones. I can see you're trying to goad me into revealing my secret knowledge of Atlantis. Well, it won't work.

Monsieur Trottier, you're in trouble.

What makes you think so ?

Read this telegram I found.

...
...

Hmpf ! This flimsy piece of paper proves nothing. You could have forged it.

Be careful, Trottier. Nazi agents are on your trail !

You don't fool me, Dr. Jones !

Uh-oh.

You know, it would serve him right if I let him go...

Let's grab a car and go after them !

No, it's not Ivan "Ironman" Stewart's Super Off Road, it's another minigame !

What we're trying to do here is ram the Nazis off the road. Witty Indy can be really X-TREME sometimes. After a couple of hits we finally crash them good...

Let's get out of here before the police arrive !

Gee, tough traffic, huh ? Are you hurt ?

*mmmpf* Don't worry... I'm just fine, thank you very much... Dr. Jones ! YOU ! You DELIBERATELY ran into the car !

Yes I did, and I saved your life.

I... am VERY grateful, sir. You made me see that an old coward like myself, cannot outwit the forces of darkness now gathering in Europe.

But you Dr. Jones, with your courage and persistence, you might yet succeed.

Good ! Listen here: Recently I acquired a SUNSTONE, one of the oddly-shaped keys you will need. More important, I know where to find an ENTRANCE to the LOST CITY ITSELF !

You don't say.

I DO say. It's on the ISLAND of THERA south of Greece.

Go on.

You've read about the LESSER COLONY in Plato's Lost dialogue, have you not ?

Of course.

Of course. I'm convinced THERA is the LESSER COLONY and I believe it's the WAY IN. I give you this information in heartfelt gratitude. I'd give you the sunstone as well, but I don't have it any more.

Oh no !

NEVER ! I THREW it out of the window during the chase.

You didn't !

Yes, I did.

Where did you throw it ?

It was near Boulevard Napoleon and Rue Hallandaise.

The roads are randomly chosen in each playthrough.

Could you repeat that ? French names give me fits.

Better yet, I'll write it on this telegram.

Thanks.

Good luck and Godspeed in your search.

You got that right. Now we'll have to search the roads to find the ones we're looking for.

No GPS or quest compasses to help us here...
Finally, we manage to find the corner where the two roads meet.

Let's examine the drain...

It's the SUNSTONE !

HALLE -FUCKING- LUJAH !!

At last ! One of the fabled key-stones is in our possession !

Destination : THERA. (Also known as Santorini to all you filthy tourist drunkards.)

He might've been using the sucker punch (instant WIN button). I hope not, because you don't get IQ points for using it :smug:

The fights are generally not that difficult if you know what you're doing and pay attention (you can block/counterattack easily if you look for visual cues)
