It was about time to actually advance in King’s Bounty, so I went and fought the turtle to advance the main quest. For that I got a promotion, a whack of leadership points, and there’s now an infinite supply of some other types of troops at the castle.

Next, I was sent off to the Freedom Islands. The enemies there are much tougher, of course, so I didn’t actually do much fighting there. I just wandered around, finding some new quests and picking up loose rewards on the map. I inadvertently solved the quest that I’d been sent there for (to find some James guy) and headed back to the starting island, with over double the leadership points I had when I started the session.

Back on the main island, I proceeded to clean up as much as I could, and completed a bunch of lingering quests and cleared out enemies that had been too tough before, though there’s still a small handful that are still way too strong. Along the way I finally found a wife, albeit a bit of a froggy one, and had a kid as well.

Next up, back to the Freedom Islands…
