And there we go. Briley Witch Chronicles 2 has been released and we managed to get started. Players of part 1 will feel right at home. It obviously uses the same game engine, some music and graphics changed, but the great UI stayed mostly the same. So no great learning curve there. The story picks up right before some festivities in Maepole village.

And as before, we are the bread delivery girl! Our first mission is to bring a huge basket of bread to the Chandlers. Everyone is stocking up on food before the festivities.

There are a couple of small labeling and spelling errors, such as on some signposts, which point to the wrong places. But overall the game seems very stable. It runs off of a KungFu Flash Cart. You can probably also use an EasyFlash. No floppy version, same as in part 1.

First side-quest: This villager lost her golden bangle in the well.

The well was already a place in the first part, but not much to do there. But now we fight our first battle -- a couple of spiders. But we win, of course...

Second quest is picking some Thyme for Branwen. On our way we also find a mysterious… thing? I have no clue what it it.

We tell Clarissa about Rasequin and she suggests that we should invite him over for dinner so he can tell some stories. However for dinner she requires some Parsley, for which we go to Branwen.
Show threadroot42Dec 9, 2023
Branwen has no parsley either. But she borrows us her horse so we can go to Chaeton to buy some parsley.
Show threadroot42Dec 9, 2023
The trip to Chaeton and back is uneventful. I guess this is so that new players get introduced to the map interface. We of course already know this one from part one…

When we are back home. Clarissa tells us that Sebastian was looking for us. He tells us of a weird boulder in the forest. We borrow a heavy hammer from Calibor and Sebastian smashes the boulder (and hammer) to bits. An entrance is revealed and we enter our first dungeon in this game: the Forest Underground
Show threadroot42
We are back in Maepole in the forest dungeon. It is just a straightforward path, so probably again to show novice players how it works. However, we found a magic bow! That will be useful!

Back in Maepole on the #commodore64 for #brileywitch part 2. Clarissa tells us she lost her old key at Riverside. So Sebastian, Briley and Smokey go to seek it out.

After some lesser and some tougher battles we finally locate the key in the local dungeon. I think we should return here to explore more. But right now we are pretty beat up.

Meanwhile the village is struck by a terrible illness. A poison that Briley can’t heal. She asks Ghroda and Branwen for help, but neither has any answers.

Back in Maepole for another round of #brileywitch on the #commodore64
