It’s Monday, so I’m streaming again!
Part 6 of my playthrough of “Heroine’s Quest: The Herald of Ragnarök” begins at 7PM NL time! Watch here, or join the chat on YouTube! It’s so lonely being a hero sometimes.
The RECAP: Last time, we helped Kraka, one of our fellow thieves, escape the from jail; rescued the Jarl from an enchanting naked lady; defeated an evil spirit that was harassing Fornsigtuna; and helped Munavagir fend off a troll invasion!
This week, we’ll figure out how to save Brunhilde, the Valkyrie asleep in the pyre, and see what happens when you pour the essence of life on an oddly-shaped pile of stones.
The PLOT: The land of Fornsigtuna is plagued by endless cold. People believe it is the Fimbulwinter, the eternal winter that heralds Ragnarok, the Twilight of the Gods: The end of the world. The Jarl has called for a hero to defeat Egther, the frost giant behind this nefarious plot. What he got was Vero, a cunning rogue with a heart of gold (which she probably stole) but very low stats. Will wits and guile be enough to end the end of the world as we know it? Or is this frozen land toast?
The GAME: Heroine’s Quest: The Herald of Ragnarok is an adventure game/RPG hybrid by studio Crystal Shard. Inspired by the Norse epic The Poetic Edda, it follows a young heroine’s epic quest to prevent the end of the world… epically.
