Well Hello Fellow Hivers And Gamers!
In the last episode of my Albion gameplay series where I left off with the quest where I had to find the Heretic fort in the mountains.
Well needles to say I found it, after quite the walk through treacherous snow bound paths.
I was left with two options.
Assault from the Eastern gate or the Western gate. I chose the Eastern path mainly because I am no big fan of the Western worlds. Laughs stoopid reasons entitle stoopid explanations.
Anyhow, gaining access to the fort wasn't at all a complicated task. I merely wandered in, somewhat aimlessly.
Although I would say the ally that attacked from the Western gate must have distracted most of the troops so that I could make a clean enough entry into the castle.
Needles to say I hacked and slash my way through until I found some trebuchets that was bombarding my Hero, if only I could utilize them for my own benefit. I had no choice but to break them down into bits and pieces.
The mission was simple.
Clear a pathway leading through the fort up to the ammunition's cache.
Slaughter as many Heretic's as possible (XP and Gold is always needed)
Once a path is cleared, set fire to the ammunition's cache.
Get the hell out of there before the whole place blows up into pieces and causes a massive landslide
Heretic troops failing miserably in battle by my enraged Hero.
One of the first catapults I plundered to the ground.
The last catapult I destroyed, right next to the ammunition's cache I was suppose to lit on fire.
Destroying The Heretic Fort
Setting fire was the easy part, you know seeing that is was a munitions depot. However once I set the place a blaze I had to get out.
This proved harder than I first thought, I say this because the depot was much larger than the intel suggested. This means I had less time to get out of their because of the much larger depot it meant the explosions would be more... _Catastrophic_to say the least.
It wasn't just a simple lets run out of here! No No I still had to go through numerous troops before I could fully and safely make my escape.
The exact moment I set fire to the munitions cache.
Soon after I realized how quickly the fire spread into somewhat hidden corners of the fort.
New Destinations And New Beginnings
The timing went perfectly!
After I slay two cannoneer troops guarding the fortress walls, the ship that I was suppose to make my escape on arrived.
If I slipped up by a minute or two, perhaps even a few seconds things could have and would have gone completely sideways. My getaway ship could have been blasted into the past and well me along with it!
As I jumped on the getaway ship the Captain gave orders for a new destination that we had to sail to, the reason for this was Pirate's. Luckily we were able to outwit them and head for the Royal Continent.
Going back the way the Captain came was out of the question.
Moments before I jumped on the ship, headed for our new destination.
It was on this new continent that I was introduced to the Greater Magic's of the realm.
Teleportation?
Don't get me wrong I didn't dare jump through to the unknown especially as unprepared as I was for this new continent!
However on this new continent I made a couple of new companions who happily showed me around and more so how they did things around here. As well as what I would need to survive and thrive on this godforsaken beautiful piece of frozen wasteland that was called the Mountain Cross their homeland!
Discovering the new magic.
My First Solo Dungeon
The Hidden Mines
On this new continent I found a lot of things to do and discover!
One of these "things" I discovered was a dungeon, these are caves full of Heretic followers who without a doubt had pockets full of gold and we all know what happens with pockets full of gold.
However gaining gold wasn't my absolute main purpose for scouring this stinking underworld, I needed valuable items!
Items that would grant me strength and agility in battles that I would face in the near future!

Scary swinging and swaying bridges made for no easy crossings.
Was it perhaps ignorance? Foolishness? or plain and simple stupidity that led these so called "Heretic's" to openly place barrels of gunpowder out and about.
This I could utilize to my advantage in making the path ahead a lot easier and most of all quicker to clear for myself.
They brought doom upon themselves, no doubt about that!
Kaboom Kaboom Kaboom, they never knew what hit them!
Finally I found what I came for!
I just need to fight off these last two "Heretic" commanders. This was not as easy as the path leading up to them!
They were trained soldiers who probably decided to join the darker side of life.
When I say trained I mean just that, they rarely missed a shot and when they did they followed it up with a even greater blow!
If I can just get through them I'd be a much richer man!

The Royal Continent
A map of the newly found Royal Continent where I would presumably spend the rest of my days, fighting Heretic foes, claiming lost treasures and building up my character into a formidable war machine!
I am currently residing in the Northern hemisphere between the snowy mountains!
Until the next journey we will have I bid everyone a good weekend and safe journeys!
The Royal Continent.
