Part 28: Exploring Ganezzar
Part XXVIII: Exploring Ganezzar![](1-image2840.jpg)
We're back with the main playthrough! Before we leave for Ganezzar, there's one last thing to do. Nasir wanted a yellow sapphire from Silvanus, so we're getting it.
![](2-image2841.jpg)
This is the place.
![](3-image2842.jpg)
Heck, let's talk to the guy.
![](4-image2843.jpg)
Looks like his guest is a member of the Forty Thieves.

![](6-image2844.jpg)
Either option works, but I like the praetor one.
![](5-player.jpg)
![](7-image2845.jpg)
HEH.
![](8-image2846.jpg)
Thanks, loser.
![](9-image2847.jpg)
Pretty. Back to Nasir.
![](10-image2848.jpg)
Here it is, you greedy man.
![](11-image2849.jpg)
1000 gold, baby!
![](12-image2850.jpg)
Off to Ganezzar.
![](13-image2851.jpg)
![](14-image2852.jpg)
![](15-image2853.jpg)
![](16-image2854.jpg)
A lot has happened. Remember when Octavia was a lowly loremaster's apprentice?
![](17-image2855.jpg)
Soundtrack: Ganezzar
Note the symbolism of a city in the heavens that's compared to a choking fungus.
![](18-image2856.jpg)
Yep, definitely a siege. Remember, this is because Meru was caught digging in some ruins.
![](19-image2857.jpg)
![](20-image2858.jpg)
![](21-image2859.jpg)
![](22-image2860.jpg)
Let's see what the holy city is like.
![](23-image2861.jpg)
Some crucified men. A good sign.
![](24-image2862.jpg)
![](25-image2863.jpg)
![](26-image2864.jpg)
Meru can wait. There's a lot to see and do. First, we'll talk to the guy in armor.
![](27-image2865.jpg)
![](5-player.jpg)
![](28-image2866.jpg)
Friendly fellow.
![](5-player.jpg)
![](29-image2867.jpg)
![](30-image2868.jpg)
![](31-image2869.jpg)
![](5-player.jpg)
![](32-image2870.jpg)
![](33-image2871.jpg)
![](34-image2872.jpg)
Buddy, I've learned some shit that would change your mind (but the game won't let me tell you).
![](35-image2873.jpg)
![](5-player.jpg)
![](36-image2874.jpg)
![](5-player.jpg)
![](37-image2875.jpg)
ok boomer
![](38-image2876.jpg)
There's a guy named Pancreas -- I mean, Pancratius -- in the building next to the old couple.
![](39-image2877.jpg)
Theological debate time!
![](5-player.jpg)
![](40-image2878.jpg)
![](5-player.jpg)
![](41-image2879.jpg)
![](5-player.jpg)
![](42-image2880.jpg)
After everything we've experienced?
![](5-player.jpg)
![](43-image2881.jpg)
![](44-image2882.jpg)
![](5-player.jpg)
![](45-image2883.jpg)
Nice talking to you.
![](46-image2884.jpg)
Ganezzar looks smaller than Teron, but as you saw in the opening, it's arranged in levels. Presently, we're at the lowest level, which is naturally named Lowtown.
![](47-image2885.jpg)
![](48-image2886.jpg)
![](49-image2887.jpg)
![](50-image2888.jpg)
It's a fine place.
![](51-image2889.jpg)
The former headquarters for the Boatmen of Styx.
![](52-image2890.jpg)
Theological debate, part 2.
![](53-image2891.jpg)
This sounds like a good time to stick our nose in.
![](5-player.jpg)
![](54-image2892.jpg)
![](5-player.jpg)
![](55-image2893.jpg)
![](5-player.jpg)
![](56-image2894.jpg)
![](57-image2895.jpg)
I like this game's writing, but this is almost a copy/paste of the first sentence two screens ago. What happened?
![](58-image2896.jpg)
Oh well. We tried.
![](59-image2897.jpg)
What's this?
![](60-image2898.jpg)
![](5-player.jpg)
![](61-image2899.jpg)
![](5-player.jpg)
![](62-image2900.jpg)
![](5-player.jpg)
![](63-image2901.jpg)
Hair loss and vomiting blood are also symptoms of acute radiation syndrome.
![](64-image2902.jpg)
![](5-player.jpg)
![](65-image2903.jpg)
![](5-player.jpg)
![](66-image2904.jpg)
Yuck. Streetwise is slightly higher, so we'll go with that.
![](67-image2905.jpg)
Ugggh.
![](68-image2906.jpg)
The picture shows Octavia by a staircase, but never mind.
![](69-image2907.jpg)
Luckily, we've got the knowledge to alleviate radiation sickness.
![](70-image2908.jpg)
![](71-image2909.jpg)
![](72-image2910.jpg)
![](73-image2911.jpg)
We'll check it out much later.
![](74-image2912.jpg)
This is Hector. Hector is important in another quest, but for now he just stands there.
![](75-image2913.jpg)
![](76-image2914.jpg)
Just like in Maadoran, we can pay one of locals to act as a guide.
![](77-image2915.jpg)
![](5-player.jpg)
![](78-image2916.jpg)
Did you say airships?
![](5-player.jpg)
![](79-image2917.jpg)
Looks like the Magi invented zeppelins.
![](5-player.jpg)
![](80-image2918.jpg)
![](5-player.jpg)
![](81-image2919.jpg)
![](82-image2920.jpg)
![](5-player.jpg)
![](83-image2921.jpg)
Meru has made himself Pope, it seems.
![](5-player.jpg)
![](84-image2922.jpg)
Everyone's been intimidated by the zealots. Maybe Meru is more dangerous than I thought.
![](5-player.jpg)
![](85-image2923.jpg)
![](5-player.jpg)
![](86-image2924.jpg)
That's all the info we can get.
![](87-image2925.jpg)
There's a climbable ladder near the main gate. Inside the building...
![](88-image2926.jpg)
![](89-image2927.jpg)
That tears it.
![](5-player.jpg)
![](90-image2928.jpg)
You poor man. You have no idea who you're up against.
![](91-image2929.jpg)
Three against one, but this fight is a joke. By now, I'm evading almost every attack and what lands can't get through my armor. The only theoretical danger is the crossbowman, but like I said, he can barely hit me.
![](92-image2930.jpg)
![](93-image2931.jpg)
![](94-image2932.jpg)
Extortion, but with a righteous flavor.
![](95-image2933.jpg)
![](96-image2934.jpg)
One last person to talk to in Lowtown, standing next to a pile of skulls.
![](97-image2935.jpg)
We should probably play along.
![](5-player.jpg)
![](98-image2936.jpg)
![](99-image2937.jpg)
Smile and nod...
![](5-player.jpg)
![](100-image2938.jpg)
![](101-image2939.jpg)
![](102-image2940.jpg)
![](103-image2941.jpg)
![](104-image2942.jpg)
Whoops, I think I hear my mother calling me or something...
