Let’s hope Marlon doesn’t die in an embarrassing way before all his health points come back. There, that’s not cheating, is it? And it only took half an hour. One cleric-bashing rampage later and I’ve made another 500 gold, so it’s time to send Mandy back to wherever extra adventurers go (making sure she has a little gold, just in case I need her again) and return Marlon to the party. Soon I can afford to return Charity to life, too. I loan Cain’s bow to Mandy and we start knocking these clerics around again for cash. Sure enough, in exchange for 1000 of my gold, he brings Cain and Shadrach back to life. He’s the one guy I haven’t already killed six times. I happen to know where to find the healer in the town of Yew. This gives her a disappointing 1234 gold.

She’s a female Elf Lark, with stats 13, 13, 13 and 11 (although if I’d read the manual first I’d have realised that a Lark needs wisdom like a fish needs a bicycle.) She’s equipped with the clothes she’s standing in and the corpses of Charity, Cain and Shadrach. If I can create another character it might just be possible for him to spend the gold acquired by my four main characters to get some of them resurrected. But I feel like I’ve invested too much time into this bloody game to just leave it there, especially when there might just be a way around it.

So, according to my rules, time to turn off the PC and go out and do something less boring instead. Rule 1 is a licence rather than a rule, and Rule 4 is just a wispy and ill-defined statement. I have now broken Rules 2 and 3, which were the only ones I could break. Meet seven of them when your party is weakened and they will deaden you without a second’s thought. They are as tough as old boots and can attack from distance and close up. Judging by the graphics, Manes are chimera-like creatures with the feet of a lion, the body of an owl and the head of a cat. Unfortunately we were ambushed by a group of Manes. We decided to wait it out, and use Shadrach’s magic to heal us. We’d stepped into a few traps, so the party’s health was suffering. It happened on the third level of the dungeon of Dardin. Useful for going into dungeons, these, and dungeons contain (a) treasure, and (b) monsters, which themselves tend to yield (a) treasure.Įverything’s going really well, and I’m convinced that this game is going to turn out to be finishable.

This leads to a series of decreasingly amusing combats where everyone else stands off and watches my least experienced character (who is invariably my own cleric due to his general combat uselessness) in a priest-on-priest ruck not unlike watching two nerdy kids fighting in the playground.Īfter about six hours of repetitive bishop-bashing, I can afford something other than food, specifically torches. I soon discover another annoying feature of Ultima 3, which is that only the character who delivers the killing blow gains experience from fighting. Of course if there were enough monsters in the wilderness to live off, I wouldn’t be forced to fight these clerics at all. The town of Yew is basically just one big forest, and I’m wandering through the woods when I blunder into a river or possibly a lava pit, and one of my characters nearly dies, which means I need to use my own cleric’s ultra-slow healing skills before I pick any fights. Now technically I’m supposed to be saving the kingdom rather than ruin it for everyone, but I’ve been pounding the wilderness for hours on end and failed to go up a single level, so it could be time to take it out on some innocent priests.
