King's Quest: Mask of Eternity continues to offer so much more than I was expecting, with an atmospheric swamp level that offers atmosphere, compelling foes, fun puzzles, and, by complete chance, a partial resolution to my DXWND/mouse cursor woes!

Connor meets various talking foliage, some wisps, a wicked swamp witch, and a whole lot of goons who he can't wait to club the chest off of! By the session's end, we're on to the next leg of the journey, as we head underground (but not, like, Death Dimension depths or anything) to toil away in the Gnomish Mines!
