dilandau3000 plays King's Quest VII: The Princeless Bride - Part 6 of 31


The quest to regain our human form is on as we explore the Vulcanix Underground.


Now that the trolls at the lava bath are awake, you can talk to them. You will learn the nasty woman's name is Malicia, and that all that is supposedly known about her is that she is an evil fairy cast out of the kingdom of Etheria in the clouds and that she now hangs out in the Vulcanix Underground all of the time. It also becomes apparent that everyone is afraid of her.

Head out of the lava baths and take the doorway to the upper-right. Here, you will meet the cook. As the cook makes a meal fit for a troll - and dumps a fly he kills with his hands in the stew - he notices Rosella and throws her out of the kitchen.

Go back into the kitchen and use the toy rat on the cook. The toy rat will race around the room and send the cook flying into the room in the back before returning to Rosella. Now the cook won't be able to bother you again.

If you click on the stew, Rosella won't think highly of it. If you click on the over, Rosella will think that they could cook a moose in there, and the sound of a moose plays afterwards.

There are two bowls on the shelves. Be sure to look at the bowl you pick up with the eye, as it is possible to pick up a bronze bowl by mistake. If the bottom of the bowl says "10K GOLD," you got the gold bowl, which should be on the bottom shelf. Next to the shelf with the two bowls is a baked beetle dispenser. Click on it, and Rosella will get some baked beetles out of the dispenser. Sadly, you will have to look elsewhere for a silver spoon.

If you go back to the hot springs, two troll women will be at the springs instead of two men. These two women are the wives of the two men at the springs you talked to earlier. One of them mentions that she puts a lump of wet sulfur in the fireplace to send herself to sleep so that she does not have to hear her husband snoring. She also mentions that she sleeps so soundly that her husband has to wake her with a flower under the nose, which trolls think is "nasty and smelly." Remember these two things for later. If you talk to the two women, they will recognize you as King Otar's bride and focus on that rather than tell you anything about Malicia.

Leave the hot springs and enter the area to the lower-left. You'll be in the blacksmith's area. If you talk to the guy on the right, he will try to hit on Rosella. Rosella uses his unwanted engagement to King Otar against him to get him to leave him alone, but he still kisses her anyway.

There is a bucket of water that you can interact with it, but you can't do anything with it yet. You can interact with the tools, but the guy won't let you borrow the tongs and will still try to hit on you.

If you talk to the guy on the left, he will be pleased to see you in a more polite way than others as he does not like the company of other trolls. He introduces himself as Oppy Goldsworth, master jeweler, and says that he would do anything to leave the Vulcanix Underground, make a name for himself and even become court jeweler of Etheria. The only reason he can't is because he has no money and all he has to his name is an old chipped hammer and chisel.
