But getting through that exit door turns out to be harder they had ever imagined!6The Lightning Bridge2008-05-0925 minJil and his party encounter another party that has practically been wiped out in a fierce battle against the ogres.

What are the challenges that await Jil and his friends in this strange and unknown area?911:092008-05-3025 minJil and his party enter an area supported only by thin pillars. They engage in a battle against a balloon-shaped monster called Barbar and, demonstrating well-coordinated team play, they defeat the enemy in the end, thanks to Melt's magical tricks. The festive mood from the victory, however, is short-lived as the feebly structured area collapses due to the explosion caused by Barbar's demise. The collapse of the area also extends to other areas on the same floor, thus causing Neeba's party and the Uruk Army much chaos. In the end, members of all parties find themselves separated from each…10At Summer’s End2008-06-0625 minJil’s party has now reached the “Shrine of Diamond”.

Synopsis

It is said that every few years, there is what's known as the "Summer of Anu." During that summer, thanks to the divine protection of the sky-god Anu, all of the demons in the tower lose their power. The country of Uruk has begun an invasion of the tower in order to suppress the demons. They've built up positions inside the tower, with their sights set on getting to the upper levels. The Uruk army knows that this is the third Summer of Anu-a perfect time to launch a mission to suppress the monster Druaga once and for all. The army soldiers aren't the only ones in the tower, though. An enitre city called Meskia has formed inside the tower's first floor. It plays host not just to soldiers, but also to adventurers who have heard rumors about a legendary treasure called the Blue Crystal Rod, which is said to rest at the very top of the tower. With all these different groups in the mix, each with its own agenda, one can only guess how things will play out during this unusual summer. (Source: Newtype Magazine)
