[MadamLuna] Hey, everybody! We're back for more "Let's Play Shadowgate!"
[DeceasedCrab] Huzzah! Welcometoyourdoom. [MadamLuna] Okay--
[MadamLuna] When we last left our heroes,
I found an AWESOME hidden entrance; another one!
Okay.
[DeceasedCrab] You gonna take it?
[MadamLuna] Uhmm, is there anything more to do in this room?
[DeceasedCrab] Uh, no. Not that I know of. [MadamLuna] Navigator?
Hold quite still, an apparation has appeared. Oh. (DeceasedCrab snickers)
Oh, this doesn't look good!
(DeceasedCrab continues snickering)
(DeceasedCrab and MadamLuna laughing) [DeceasedCrab] Quite interesting.
(MadamLuna sighs) [DeceasedCrab] I'm sorry, folks.
It's either save state constantly or use the i--this game's slow in-game loading/saving function.
[MadamLuna] This cave is hewn roughly in the...oh, god.
Oh, god, this doesn't look good AT ALL.
Look...LOOK at these...snake statues.
"Frayed ropes and rotten planks."
Guess what I'm definitely going to do?
[DeceasedCrab] What?
[MadamLuna] Walk across a shabby bridge.
[DeceasedCrab] Go for it!
[MadamLuna] I don't know. L-l-let--let's look at this one.
This one looks like it's in good condition,
BUT I BET it's one of those, uhmm...like, trick ones where...the bridge that seems sturdy actually isn't.
[DeceasedCrab] Let's give it a shot.
[MadamLuna] Yeah.
I'll give the s-sturdy one a try just to test my theory.
[MadamLuna] Oh.........shoot! [DeceasedCrab] HOLY COW.
Okay. Uhmm....
[MadamLuna] The Silver Arrow! Silver Arrow!
Silver Arrow!
[MadamLuna] You...! [DeceasedCrab] I wonder....
[MadamLuna] Oh, no! Nothing happened! Aaah!
Look at you!
[MadamLuna] Oh. But he doesn't seem to be doing anything. [DeceasedCrab] Looks grim.
[DeceasedCrab] There's a cloak.
[MadamLuna] I really like cloaks.
Can I borrow this?
[DeceasedCrab] Yeah.
[MadamLuna] "You're afraid to get near it." Uhmm....
[DeceasedCrab] You'll have to find a way to deal with the wraith.
[MadamLuna] First, I'll steal his torches.
[DeceasedCrab] If only you had something to deal with it.
[MadamLuna] I can talk to it.
[DeceasedCrab] Yeah, that'll work.
It only speaks French.
[MadamLuna] Could I...just get--go out of the room?
[MadamLuna] That'd be--that'd be great. [DeceasedCrab] Oh, yeah! Totally.
[MadamLuna] Okay.
Hey, I think this is a good place to save state.
[DeceasedCrab] Yeah.
[MadamLuna] Uhmm...let's see. I'll move to....
This--this...bridge....
[DeceasedCrab] Well, that's mean.
[MadamLuna] HUH.
[DeceasedCrab] We're gonna get mighty tired of Grim.
[MadamLuna] Okay, yeah.
[MadamLuna] Let's, uhmm...I guess it's wraith time. [DeceasedCrab] Let's...
[DeceasedCrab] If only we had some way to deal with the wraith.
[MadamLuna] I have--
I have torches.
[DeceasedCrab] You DO have torches.
[MadamLuna] Can I use--
[DeceasedCrab] You have 5 torches, you have 1 torch....
[MadamLuna] Oh, hey. It actually lets me select my active torch.
[DeceasedCrab] Yeah!
[MadamLuna] WHAT!?
[DeceasedCrab] Can't use THAT torch on him.
[MadamLuna] Do I have to--I guess I can light another one.
Oh, hey, this one's different from the others!
[DeceasedCrab] Well, take a LOOK at it!
[MadamLuna] HUH, I see. Okay.
[DeceasedCrab] Uh, you might want to use one of your NORMAL torches just in case.
[MadamLuna] Oh!
[DeceasedCrab] See that? That's...fallin' down.
[MadamLuna] Oh, that's good. Now I can use, uhmm....
[DeceasedCrab] You can use one of your lit torches on...THAT one.
[MadamLuna] Okay.
[DeceasedCrab] Okay!
[DeceasedCrab] That's one less wraith. [MadamLuna] Uhmm...
Save save state, then. Okay.
Hey, now I can take the cloak!
[DeceasedCrab] You could...
...it's CURSED!
[MadamLuna] IS IT!??!
[DeceasedCrab] No.
[MadamLuna] OH...!
(MadamLuna pants from fear) (DeceasedCrab chuckles)
[MadamLuna] Holy ***, okay! Uhmm....
Okay! Uh...!
[DeceasedCrab] That is the BEST reaction I could've hoped for.
[MadamLuna] You know how GULLIBLE I am!?
(MadamLuna laughs in craziness) [DeceasedCrab] I'm sorry!
[MadamLuna] HA HA I won't let me move through a door,
I have to open it first. This GAME...!
[DeceasedCrab] There's also ANOTHER exit from the room.
[MadamLuna] Oh. Oh, hey, you're right.
[MadamLuna] But, this exit, I guess it's like, uh.... [DeceasedCrab] Yeah!
[MadamLuna] You turn the quarter? OH.
[MadamLuna] That's weird. [DeceasedCrab] I guess it's supposed to be a hole in the ceiling.
[MadamLuna] Uh, I guess.
[DeceasedCrab] Let's move on.
[MadamLuna] Ooh! "EPOR"!
[MadamLuna] Oh, wait. No. That's "ROPE" backwards. [DeceasedCrab] That is...not at all...
mysterious or...obvious.
[MadamLuna] Hey, look, it's a torch.
I would LOVE another torch.
[MadamLuna] Okay.
[DeceasedCrab] There's some stuff on the wall!
[MadamLuna] (in a mocking voice) I wonder what it could be.
[DeceasedCrab] Ooh! [MadamLuna] Hmm....
[MadamLuna] You know, I'm really reminded of Knightmare...with a K. [DeceasedCrab] A scroll?
[MadamLuna] What is...this...little thing?
Ooh!
You know, I'd LOOK all of them, but I know I'm gonna need the rope.
[DeceasedCrab] So? Take them all!
[MadamLuna] Am I allowed to do that?
[DeceasedCrab] No.
[MadamLuna] Oh...wait, what!?
[DeceasedCrab] You can try taking the other stuff.
[MadamLuna] I guess I will.
[DeceasedCrab] You can't take the rope for whatever reason!
[MadamLuna] Eh, but can I TAKE the EPOR?
Oh....
[DeceasedCrab] You could...READ it.
[MadamLuna] I...already LOOKED at it.
[DeceasedCrab] You could read it ALOUD.
[MadamLuna] EPOR! "EPPOR".
[DeceasedCrab] You could tell the GAME to read it aloud.
[MadamLuna] Oh-hoh! Oh!
Are you kidding me!?
(DeceasedCrab chuckles) Are...you...kid--
It doesn't even work!
[DeceasedCrab] Uhmm, try...using it.
I thought it was SPEAK myself.
[MadamLuna] Oh, hey, look. There's a thing in the--
Uhmm...USE...
Uh--gosh!
[DeceasedCrab] Try looking at the sign again.
[MadamLuna] Uh, okay.
EP--uh....
*THIS, THIS IS THE DUMBEST THING
See, now there's this huge disconnect between MY intellect and the intellect of my character.
[DeceasedCrab] Well...you can try SPEAKING it.
Uh, first, you have to use the cards on the right to, uh, get the spell card.
[MadamLuna] Whaddaya mean?
[DeceasedCrab] Lower right.
[MadamLuna] Uh--OH--oh, oh....
Aha! Ahaha!
"There are many strange things in this world", DeceasedCrab.
[DeceasedCrab] I'm DeceasedCrab!
[MadamLuna] Huh. Well, uhmm...
[DeceasedCrab] You COULD go up there...if you dare.
[MadamLuna] (in a mystic voice) Or you COULD start in the shrine of the Silver Monkey!
[DeceasedCrab] (in a dazed voice) Shrine of the Silver Monkey!
[MadamLuna] Anyway, let's--let's...blow this popsicle stand.
[MadamLuna] Uh.... [DeceasedCrab] You missed the hole.
Try using the one on the lower left.
[MadamLuna] This one?
[DeceasedCrab] Yeah.
[MadamLuna] Taah.... [DeceasedCrab] Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!
[MadamLuna] "Elven Fun House at King Otto's Fair."
Are you KIDDING me?
[DeceasedCrab] There's more torches!
[MadamLuna] Yeah, I better take them. (DeceasedCrab mutters something)
[MadamLuna] Can I get rid of my old torch?
[MadamLuna] I mean the one that's rotting away up in the-- [DeceasedCrab] No.
[DeceasedCrab] That one?
[MadamLuna] This one.
[DeceasedCrab] You probably...no.
[MadamLuna] Oh.
[DeceasedCrab] That's just an icon. It's gone.
[DeceasedCrab] Uh.... [MadamLuna] WHAT!?
[DeceasedCrab] You got a weird definition of "siren", buddy.
[MadamLuna] Anyway, I'll--I'll take it. Why not? I like brooms.
[DeceasedCrab] Who knows? It might be used to solve an obscure puzzle.
[MadamLuna] Okay, this one gives back a fine--
"throws back a fine reflection." Uhmm....
Hey, I have an idea.
[DeceasedCrab] Save state. [MadamLuna] I have a GREAT idea.
[DeceasedCrab] That's right. PUNCH the mirror.
[MadamLuna] Are you kidding me? Like, it didn't even--
You would think that a game like this, it would LOVE the opportunity to kill the player by giving it horrible, bad luck.
[DeceasedCrab] I'm not saying anything.
Go ahead and leave this room.
[MadamLuna] You sure?
[DeceasedCrab] Yeah.
[MadamLuna] Huh.... [DeceasedCrab] We'll be back.
[MadamLuna] Okay, anyway--
Uhmm...two exits to this room?
[DeceasedCrab] Yeah. The one you came in: the hole.
[DeceasedCrab] We're on the other one. Mm-hmm. [MadamLuna] And then there...a one...to my back, I guess?
[MadamLuna] Oh! [DeceasedCrab] You...might wanna save state.......
[MadamLuna] Uh oh. I don't like the sound of this.
Coffins, huh?
[DeceasedCrab] Yeah! Yeah.
[MadamLuna] Uhmm, I guess I'll look at 'em.
[DeceasedCrab] Try to remember which ones are okay to open....
[MadamLuna] You know, I'm going to move my cards up
so I can access my torches.
[MadamLuna] Easily. [DeceasedCrab] That's probably a good idea.
[MadamLuna] There we go. Anyway....
That doesn't look good.
"Cold stone" ... "Cold stone coffin?"
Is that, like, "Cold Stone Creamery?"
[DeceasedCrab] That would be delicious!
[MadamLuna] Ooh! "The lid to this coffin is made of solid gold.
It must be worth a fortune." I KNOW I'm not gonna have to take that one, right?
[MadamLuna] Well, why not? [DeceasedCrab] None of them really give you good hints
as to which ones are okay to open.
[MadamLuna] Yeah, but I like gold--
[MadamLuna] I mean, I might as well give it a try. [DeceasedCrab] I would open them.
Why not? Oh, right.
Uh.......
"The lid of coffin is open." Oooh! What's this?
[DeceasedCrab] You could open it up.
[MadamLuna] Oh. [DeceasedCrab] You don't need to TAKE the whole pouch.
Just the contents.
"COPPCOINS." Oh, my favorite! COPPCOINS!
[DeceasedCrab] I wonder what "copp" means.
[MadamLuna] C--copp...
Copp.
[DeceasedCrab] Is that, like, a copp salad? Copp salad?
[MadamLuna] Yeah...by the way,
if anybody knows any, like, chain restaurants where I can get a really good waldorf salad, please let me know.
[DeceasedCrab] You should probably save state again.
[MadamLuna] Uh....
[DeceasedCrab] I'm not saying this because the copp'ns are going to kill you.
[MadamLuna] Uh...there gonna be zombies coming out, aren't there?
[MadamLuna] Let's see.... [DeceasedCrab] What're YOU going to defend yourself with?
[MadamLuna] Torches?
[DeceasedCrab] Anything else? [MadamLuna] Arrows.
Sc--scroll bottle.
[DeceasedCrab] Okay. (MadamLuna screams in surprise)
[MadamLuna] Oh!
[DeceasedCrab] Okay, it's just a mummy.
[MadamLuna] Oh. H-hi!
[DeceasedCrab] I think now is a good time for a break.
[MadamLuna] Yeah, I-I think so, too, anyway.
(Both laugh)
[MadamLuna] We'll see you guys later!
[DeceasedCrab] Good night, folks!
[MadamLuna] Good night.
