Speaker A
So, what we're going to do is we're sort of going to carry on from where we've left off.
Speaker A
Here we go. We're in the map room. Now, what we're going to do is we're going to start picking up some bits and pieces to get on with.
Speaker A
So, take the wasp quest card from the map table.
Speaker A
Okay. There's a quest card on the map table.
Speaker A
So, we're going to take this one. Take the quest. There are some other ones, but we'll start off with one at a time, I think.
Speaker A
Right. Follow it in the region of your map. F9 to see your current objectives.
Speaker A
So, we know what we're going to do. It's only to do with the wasps.
Speaker A
But, if we press F9, enter the picnic area infestation.
Speaker A
Right you are. So, we'll go back to the game.
Speaker A
And here we go. So, we're going to head on out.
Speaker A
Right. So, we're heading out this way by a little bit.
Speaker A
And we're going to try to follow our mini map that will take us to where we need to go. Use the wheel mouse to zoom the camera closer or further away.
Speaker A
If you ever find the view awkward, press R to move the camera to its default position.
Speaker A
You can press H. Can I interest you in something? H is No, here is.
Speaker A
All right.
Speaker A
Okay. Here is. We scroll up and scroll in.
Speaker A
Okay. Attacking the picnic area. Follow me.
Speaker A
Hurry please. What we're going to do is there's some wasps attacking a picnic area.
Speaker A
Hurry. It's a picnic area, Boo-Boo. You little snot bag. You know nothing of the world.
Speaker A
Follow me. Nothing of the world. I am following you. Just keep moving, mate, so [laughter] we know where we're going.
Speaker A
Follow me. He said follow me and I am following him. Hurry, please. You've got to save my friends.
Speaker A
Certainly shall. So, we're going to the picnic area to see if Boo-Boo's got some picnic baskets.
Speaker A
But, in that, we're going to go kill ourselves some wasps.
Speaker A
Ooh. Nasty looking bloody wasps these ones, aren't they?
Speaker A
Right. Help me, please. Thanks for saving me.
Speaker A
You're welcome, mate. We're going to get all of them.
Speaker A
Come here, Mr. Wasp. Oh, that one got me. You saved my life. Thank you so much.
Speaker A
Right. Strike down the wasps.
Speaker A
Right. Strike down the wasps. Oh, got it. How foolish is that?
Speaker A
Okay. Your bow may prove useful against the wasp queen.
Speaker A
Yeah, I tried thinking. More wasps have spawned, but they are no match for your bow.
Speaker A
What we'll do is we'll take these out with the sword, change to the bow, and do her in with a bow.
Speaker A
Attack the wasp queen again. Take that. I got her.
Speaker A
Hero, your will energy is low. Watch that.
Speaker A
What's it? Hold on. We've done this one. This is all about energy being low.
Speaker A
You'll become more renowned. The higher your renown level, the more presence is acknowledged, celebrated, or feared.
Speaker A
Okay. To increase your renown level further, perform quests, trophies, heroic deeds. All renown increase.
Speaker A
Okay, I've got that.
Speaker A
Right. He don't look like no chicken chaser to me, but then again, I ain't met one before.
Speaker A
You have received a new quest card.
Speaker A
Right. Okay, and I am undeniably a chicken chaser.
Speaker A
That's good, isn't it? Being a chicken chaser, I think.
Speaker A
Pick up some bits and pieces around here.
Speaker A
I can have a standard beard. You'll find a hairstyle card using your nearest barber.
Speaker A
Okay, thank you. We're going to find a barber one day and get a standard beard should we wish to do so.
Speaker A
And what else we got? Picking up some bits and pieces here. Health potions. Apple pie, that's better.
Speaker A
Not keen on blueberry pie, but an apple pie will always come in handy.
Speaker A
What is that? Is that just a sundial?
Speaker A
Okay. Now, if I press F9, it says I've got another quest. Maze information. Maze is waiting for you at the Bowerstone tavern.
Speaker A
Which can be reached from Lookout Point. Meet Maze at Bowerstone tavern.
Speaker A
Okay. Lookout Point, I don't know where any of this stuff is, so we'll go have a look around.
Speaker A
And head back to the game. So, we're going to head out of here obviously first and foremost.
Speaker A
How's it going? Going fine, mate. We're heading out this way.
Speaker A
Good work, but there's still dangerous wasps about.
Speaker A
Looking for you. He waits for you in the Bowerstone tavern.
Speaker A
Right, my character was flashing green in the bottom corner. I think that's the upgrade thing.
Speaker A
That's the upgrade thing. Right, anyhow, we've got to go meet Maze. There's more people to talk to. We'll do them after we are over with Maze.
Speaker A
Look at you. He is our mentor after all, and we need to go and speak to him at the Bowerstone Tavern.
Speaker A
It's time for a cold one, maybe. What a nice looking area. Isn't it?
Speaker A
Right, we're in Bowerstone South.
Speaker A
Oi, you're new here, aren't you?
Speaker A
Yep. We have some rules around here that you need to know about.
Speaker A
Bowerstone is a peaceful town. Ah, I'll have to confiscate your weapons for now.
Speaker A
All right.
Speaker A
There are shops, inns, lots of different people, games, all kinds of things. Why not pay the tavern a visit first?
Speaker A
It's the building in front of you, just up the road from here.
Speaker A
Oh, and keep an eye open for Lady Grey.
Speaker A
Treat her with respect. She is the mayor, after all. Have a look around, and enjoy your stay in Bowerstone.
Speaker A
Right, so he's taking my weapons.
Speaker A
Right, so he's taken our weapons off of us.
Speaker A
He don't look like no chicken chaser to me, but then again, I ain't met one before.
Speaker A
Do you know that map is a bit small in the corner? If I change the game resolution, I think. I know it's Uh, Uh, video options.
Speaker A
What I can do is I can still record it and I can set it as 1080p when I do the edit afterwards.
Speaker A
That's okay. I can upscale this using software. After I can see that map clearer now.
Speaker A
Over here. That's all it is. Woohoo! Been enjoying all the attention, have you?
Speaker A
Yes, I heard about your encounter with the wasp queen.
Speaker A
Most of Bowerstone is talking about it. But, um, you shouldn't have that kind. I need to look.
Speaker A
Anyway, that's not why I called you here. You see, there are dark forces gathering that put your giant insect to shame.
Speaker A
Tell me, how much do you remember of the night I took you to the guild?
Speaker A
Of the raid on Oak Fell? Not much, I wager.
Speaker A
A most terrible night. I thought those bandits had killed your whole family and that you were going to [music] be next.
Speaker A
But, it seems there may have been another survivor. Your sister.
Speaker A
Oh, she's still alive?
Speaker A
It's only a rumor and there's no way to be certain yet.
Speaker A
All right. You should know.
Speaker A
Yeah. And for pity's sake, boy, make sure you replace that basic equipment while you're here.
Speaker A
Right, so I've got to replace. So, my sister might be alive. Quick, follow me.
Speaker A
We got it. That a Rosie with What does she want? The sky is red.
Speaker A
Oh, woe is me. My son is poorly. It's me boy. My poor little boy.
Speaker A
We were on a picnic at Lookout Point when he found these strange mushrooms.
Speaker A
The witch in Bowerstone Key says we shouldn't worry. But she needs more of the mushrooms before she can cure him.
Speaker A
I would find them myself, but I need to look after Aldi. Please, could you help us?
Speaker A
Right. Try A. F9. I done this wrong. I've done something wrong. F9. I must have pressed the wrong button.
Speaker A
The sick child. The child has fallen sick in Bowerstone after eating a strange mushroom. Can you help?
Speaker A
Yep.
Speaker A
Talk with the witch in Bowerstone Keys. So.
Speaker A
Okay. My body is made out of sugar.
Speaker A
I hope I don't fall into cobwebs. What was What did she say? Her body was made out of sugar.
Speaker A
Okay. Right. So. I don't see on my map where I'm supposed to go. On?
Speaker A
You don't look like no taxi driver. Are you a taxi driver? What's that? Close. Provide a quick way to travel around Albion. Once you have a region with close gates, you can teleport there at any time.
Speaker A
Don't do. Right. I'm not going to do anything illegal. Right so.
Speaker A
Right, we can now go back to. Right, we can pay. It's It's like a fast travel.
Speaker A
Oh, now this one looks promising. Oh hello. You must be the kid Maze is always talking about.
Speaker A
Can't imagine what he sees in you. Still, I suppose Maze knows best. But where are my manners?
Speaker A
I'm Briar Rose. No doubt you've heard of me. No time for autographs, I'm afraid. I have to get to Knot Hall Glade for an important mission.
Speaker A
Okay. Speaking of
Speaker A
Maybe I should pick it up. I hope you've been practicing. You'll need all the experience you can get to beat me.
Speaker A
See you later, farm boy. She really does not like me. I haven't done anything to upset her.
Speaker A
Right, your combat experience multiplier allows you to increase the experience you earn from battles.
Speaker A
And this is visible in the upper left portion of the screen. More damage you inflict without getting hit, the higher your multiplier becomes.
Speaker A
Right, that damn gone. Hey, what in hell do you think you're doing? Go on, get back, you foreigner.
Speaker A
What? Get out of here. It's their bloody problem. Nasty piece of work. Well, that was the only good thing that happened to All right, what else we got? We got a couple more over here.
Speaker A
Get one up. What we got? All right, we got another one over here somewhere.
Speaker A
Try to get your combat multiplier even higher. Right, so that damn old deed. Oh my the good old orchard found yourself in strange going on here.
Speaker A
Right, we got Hey bad guy. I'd stay there if I were you. That's a bad one finished.
Speaker A
Lovely. Right, more bad guys around here. He's a good one. Oh. Okay. All right, mate. I Didn't mean to hit you.
Speaker A
Simple. Easy. Easy as that. We got things here, but they're not They're not where I'm going. I want to kill them. Oh.
Speaker A
Really? Oh. Dead. Horrible bug. Any news from further afield? Can leave over here. Stop our orders.
Speaker A
That's a bandit one finished. Way to go. Right. Well, meanwhile back towards Orchard Farm, where we're going.
Speaker A
Orderly. Ah, here we go. Orchard Farm. So, it's a case of traveling like you can't just travel straight to where you need to go. There's chicken I'm a chicken chaser. Ha.
Speaker A
Oh, thank Avo, you're here. I thought no one would answer our guild request. I've arranged some more security to back you up, but there are so many bandits that they'll tear my farm apart.
Speaker A
I wish we'd never found those damn stones. They brought us nothing but trouble. My wife, Jenna, won't let them anywhere near the house, so we've left them in some crates in the barn.
Speaker A
They must be worth a fortune. They say Lady Grey wants them. I've already lost three farmhands in these raids.
Speaker A
Right. That must be them now. I better go inside and look AFTER MY WIFE. SHE'S TERRIFIED.
Speaker A
RIGHT. SO, we've got some bondage attacking the place. Help the guard defend ultra farm.
Speaker A
Okay. So, we got some bad guys coming down. This way. Death to all. Oh, there. Right, okay.

Speaker A
FOR JUSTICE. I'd stay there IF I WERE YOU. I'LL TRY to get you a combat knife.

Bandit reinforcements are on the way. Should they come in this way or they are?
