Ultima V Challenge Home Page
FINALLY AN UPDATE, VW won the Ultima V competition in the first week of
September 2007. Vorpal was a witness to the festivities as VW retrieved
Lord British's stupid sandal box and defeated the trickeries of Mount Doom
to WINNNNNN!
Here thou may readeth the chronicles of Gandalf aka VW, Gandalf's brother and Vorpal, adventurers who are daring to defeat the mammoth game of Ultima V.
Gandalf's brother has an old score to settle with Ultima V as almost 20 years
ago he was stopped on the verge of victory after an unfortunate Coke accident.
Gandalf is so cool he is even doing the game on an Atari ST for maximum
old school points.

Today we finally found the mother lode maze within dungeon Hythloth. It was
not easy and the maze itself is proving quite difficult. We found a treasure
room but can't figure how to escape it. Gandalf as always is leading the
way and is an inspiration to one and all. Shamino is reported to be in deep
trouble with Gandalf as he is completely worthless and is rumored to be on
the chopping block and exchanged for Dupre as soon as circumstances permit.
"I forgot how difficult Ulteema dungeons were," said Gandalf, "truly Ulteemas
are a true taste of video mettle."

Damn we rule! Using great cunning we will not detail here in order to conceal
it from competitors, we stole Lord British's crown from well let's say the
place where it was held to end a great day. In this same unnamed place, we
also tricked an idiot into giving us a word of power so it was a great day.
To make the day even better, we got a visit from Lord British who raised me
to level 5 and the lowly Jaana to level 3.
We celebrated with a leg of the Moonglow restaurant's finest mutton and stocked
up on reagents now that we're rich enough and are high enough level to start
messing with spells more. We think we rule so much we shalt venture into the
Underworld next in search of shards, despite the fact that Mariah warned us
it was scary. We'll bring her into the party reeeeeeal soon.
