PrinceWatercress plays King's Quest VII: The Princeless Bride - Part 8 of 18


In this entry, we do a little exploring in the weird and wacky town of Falderal.



If you go into the china shop, you will meet a bull in a china shop, who is the proprietor. If you talk to him, you will find out his name is Fernando and that his treasure - a china bird named Treasure - has just suddenly disappeared. If you talk to him again, he says that anybody in town could have taken Treasure. If you talk to him a third time, he says Treasure was taken a few days ago and that Treasure is afraid of anyone but him.

If you click on anything in the display cases, Valanice will note how fragile everything under display. If you click on Treasure's cage, Fernando will tell you that Treasure was taken right under his nose.

There is also a mask here, but you won't be able to get it yet. There is nothing else you can do here.

When you leave the China Shop, Chicken Little will show up again and make a big deal about the sky falling before giving Valanice a hard time. If you talk to Chicken Little, she will start running around again.

If you click on the note on the door of Town Hall, you will learn that it is closed and that the Archduke's birthday party and masquerade ball will be taking place there later on.

The black bird sitting in the nest in the nearby tree is a mockingbird. If you talk to the mockingbird, he will mock you. Amazingly, the mockingbird has a lot of lines if you keep clicking on him.

If you talk to this salesman, he will try to sell you the most useless things imaginable, such as a gullibility potion that will make you believe anything. Valanice won't buy anything what he is selling.

Near the salesman is the faux shop. If you click on the sign, you will find out that it is indeed a shop that is filled with synthetic, false and unnatural treasures. If you click on the note, you will learn the proprietor is busy uncrating a pack of lies and will ask you to come back soon.

Near the salesman is a caged bird. It's Treasure! If you have not talked to Fernando yet, Treasure will not trust you, but if you have, she will, and you'll be able to carry her in your inventory. From there, head back to the china shop and give Treasure (called the China Bird in the inventory) back to Fernando. Fernando will thank you and give you the mask for your efforts, then leave. 

When you leave the china shop, you will see a guard allow two masked guests into the town hall. Now is the time to go in, now that you have the mask. If you don't have the mask on when you click on the door, the guard will turn you away.
