If you don't have an account, just leave the password field blank.
So, progress continues... with "All that GLITTERS".
As per the request of SlipDink fans (well, Dink fans anyway), I have included
some urls to a few images from the game thus far, along with some matching
dialogue. I look forward to your comments.
WhatAmIThinking
Early in his adventure, Dink begins to doubt his resolve.
WhereIsTheRiver.png
Arriving in a wondrous new land as a passenger on a familiar ship,
Dink notes that the treasure map he was sold does not seem
to be as accurate as he had hoped.
ScenicGardens.png
On his way to the capital of this new land, Dink enjoys local horticulture.
DinkIsDissolvedInTheMagicOfLapisTenebris.png
In conversation with a mage, Dink learns that the (now deceased) great
grandfather of this magician gave, "us forms of magical protection still used
today." Intrigued, Dink asks, "What kinds of magical protection still used
today are we talking about?". Replying, the magician tells him, "Try attacking
one of our shop merchants and you might find out."
Later, Dink tries attacking someone in their shop and then this (see the image
link above) happened to him.
DinksBirthCertificate.png
Dink makes some new friends, and shows them his birth certificate (that Dink
carries with him at all times?!). One of his new friends asks, "I find myself
wondering, how is it that your society could be advanced enough to have birth
certificates but is still so primitive such that you need scribes to write
upon official documents for you?".
Dink replies with, "Well, I can tell you that literacy is a spotty and
imperfect thing throughout King Daniel's domain. <Sigh...> Other than that,
let's just say some questions about our universe are best left unasked."
KnowYeTheFaceOfOhGone.png
While in this distant land (that a treasure map has lead him to) Dink becomes a
guest of the mayor of the capital city and eventually decides to get some much
needed rest in his guest quarters. But as he sleeps, he dreams of a face
meeting his gaze from a wall of Stone! Dink trembles as the face speaks,
shouting these words ---> "IF YOU ARE TRULY THE SON OF MUD
THEN I BEGIN BY ASKING THIS QUESTION ...
KNOW YE THE FACE OF *OHGONE*? HEAR THE DIVINE VOICE
SPEAKING FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE RIVER OF MUD!".
