Part 77: Chapter 8, Part 3

Women are always trying to change us.




A book on Raven's nightstand explains exactly what happened. Funny story: the first time I played through this game I thought she was castrating him with that hot iron.






Now that we've been branded as a member of the guild, we can enter the guild store.


The store sells Blackrock Gauntlets, some scrolls and cheap Mandrake Roots. We aren't going to buy anything quite yet, though.




This glass display case has a Blackrock Chest in it.






Now it doesn't. Floating point math to the rescue!


Now you guys will find out why we went to that extra effort to keep Gringolet.




You see, Gringolet is one giant sack of glitches. After leaving Minoc, if you draw Gringolet...




It randomly makes objects disappear.

I don't understand how or why this happens. It just does. And I'm always terrified every time I do it because it makes me remember that Ultima 9 is a house of cards.

We use the glitch to get the invincibility potion and the glass sword from this display case.

Putting Gringolet away restores the world to normal.






: Like somebody burned my arms and then jumped...
: Alright, alright, hop aboard lover.
: Now that you've got the sea chart, you're ready to sail. Here, take this book; it'll teach you everything that you need to know about sailing.
: Of course, I'm happy to take the helm anytime that you want me to. Just tell me where you want to go, and I'll take you there.
: As for where we go next, I'd suggest we look into Trinsic or Valoria. They're both easy to get to from here.
: Where would you like to go?

Where would we like to go? Trinsic or Valoria?
