The Sword and the Spell Book

If you're using the launcher, it won't let basics in anymore. You have to use the browser if you're basic now.

Well, I STILL cant play. I logged into my account on the site but when its time for it to download it says 0%.... a couple minutes later 0%...

Well mates, I'm going to post some of my findings from now. If you don't remember, we picked up a Captain's Log from a Navy Ship of the Line, and I was looking through it a bit.

Well mates, I found something! In one of the more recent entries, our good EITC captain stated something that is going to get us straight to the sword! This is what he wrote that was of interest to me:

I have heard rumors recently of a strange object being unloaded at one of our forts. Nobody is exactly sure what, except for the highest officials of the Company. What I have heard though is that this is no normal cargo of jewels or gold. It is a small crate, but guarded as if it contained thousands of diamonds! Some say that strange things happen around it, such as plants wilting, or dead animals coming back to life. All are silly rumors, I am sure. I have also heard that it is being moved from Fort Dundee to another, more secure location. I have ideas of what it may be, but I am not sure exactly where…


I was analyzing it for a while, and I figured that a ship must have picked it up and shipped it to Fort Dundee… but now it looks like it is being moved. We need to figure out where it is being shipped, and then head there for our prize! I have ideas, tell me which you think is best, and we will try that location.

I'll likely make some edits to this post a bit later.

It looks like I can get online now! YES!!!!

Chapter 3: The Sword Itself

Today was an interesting day, to say the least. After reading out the entry from the Captain's Log, we decided that we would search Fort Dundee, just in case it was still there, ignoring the Invasion that was only about twenty minutes away from Port Royal.



At about the five minute mark, Mr. Swordshot suggested something that nobody had thought about. On Port Royal is Fort Charles, a Navy Fort. After finding nothing at Fort Dundee, Roger realized that it was no coincidence that Jolly Roger was invading Port Royal. He was after The Sword too! He intended to take Port Royal and then storm Fort Charles to get the Sword of Darkness! With only about two minutes left until the invasion, the Shadow Sorcerors found a battle station, and the battle began.



We were victorious in the invasion, driving Jolly Roger off the island. Without sparing any time, we charged into Fort Charles, and I was able to find a nice Sergeant who I was able to "talk" into giving me the location of The Sword. Then we killed him. The Sword was at Kingshead, the most fortified Navy Fortress. We sailed to Kingshead, and charged through it until we got to where we figured it would be. The Keep.



We charged in and searched the place until Davy McCrusher found a crate that was emanating dark power. The Sword was ours. I pried open the crate, and held The Sword in my hand. Then things started to go wrong. The Sword was too powerful, even for us. Perhaps Oberon had cursed it so that thieves would be killed should they try to steal it, but either way, it began to drain my soul away. They didn't have much time. I gave The Sword to Chris, and he took the guild and headed to the Catacombs. It wasn't harming him though, as it was working on me. Within minutes, I was on the ground, with my vision going black.



And then, just in time, The Sword of Darkness was dropped into the Magma of The Catacombs, saving my life. We lost The Sword forever, but I was saved. I owe you all my life. Thank you for that. It must have taken a lot of courage to destroy what we've been searching for all this time.

But don't despair just yet! The Sword was not the only item Oberon had! Remember that he also carried his Spell Book, where he wrote all his powerful spells and curses! The Book itself contains great Voodoo Power! We still need to find that, and it is easily just as powerful as The Sword. But now, let's rest. I almost died there, and you all deserve a break. That's why I told them all that Roger was carrying rum for them.



Thanks mates, it was fun! Expect the next part of the quest to be some time in Mid June, after everyone is out of school!

[Captain Jason]

Haha, sounded fun. Wish I could've been there.

This date is not for certain, due to The Shadow Games, but I don't want to leave the quest just sitting for a huge period of time, so let's have the next Quest Meet be Saturday, June 18th at 4pm Eastern.

[WitchdoctorDan]

Sorry, I had to spam smileys. I got my computer back now! I will be stopping by every once in a while now. And I shall be at the quest the 18th. Don't have anything better to do, do I? :P

[SEAKING23]

Can't we just do the quest on the same date as the TSG (the shadow games) but different time? (the more events in a day, the better)

[Tiberius Fireskull]

I'd rather not... it'd be too crammy, and it would end up taking up a good portion of the day, so less people would be able to make it if they had other things going on. I see what you're saying, but I'd rather keep them separate.

[Tiberius Fireskull]

Time to dust off this thread mateys... remember that we are continuing The Quest this Saturday at 4pm Eastern time! Make sure to be there, it'll be a lot of fun!

[Tiberius Fireskull]

This Quest is TOMORROW at 4pm Eastern, make sure to be there if you can!

[Christopher]

Sorry Davy, but I cant be there, going to be out of town tomorrow.

[Tiberius Fireskull]

Guild Quest starts in less than half an hour. 25 minutes to be exact.. make sure to be there if you can!

EDIT: Due to the lack of people that are able to attend, the guild quest is going to be moved to a later date, TBA.
