A Titanular Quest

I am well aware that reading about computer troubles is not what many people would refer to as "high quality entertainment", but recently I was deprived of the interweb at my home due to an unfortunate "hardware malfunction". Seeing as I was desperately trying to fix this problem in order to play Titan Quest, and Greek Mythology has been around for thousands of years and people still seem interested in it, AND given the fact that epic tales are by their very nature, epic, I will try to relay the story in a more entertaining fashion. It all began about three years ago, I was engaged in epic travels through the labyrinth known as the seacoast NH area. I was attempting to defeat some terrorists, or perhaps the Chinese, or perhaps attempting some other violent, yet noble feat, when I realized that my weapon had become a bit obsolete. Tirelessly I searched the jungle for a new weapon, or the makings of one. Eventually, I was able to find enough pieces to assemble a superior weapon, and with a little care and patience, it was honed into a vastly superior mechanism for accomplishing my goals. Over the next three years, I stumbled across various items that I used to enhance my weapon, adding attributes that made it more effective, and many beasts fell by its wrath. This is of course, until last Thursday. Last Thursday I had run across a swarm of giant locusts, and just before they fell in a heap, as had happened many times previously, my weapon fell to the ground, silent. The familiar blue aura had ceased as well. I frantically tried to repair my weapon, removing and replacing various runes and charms in an effort to awaken it. Alas, I could not fix it, and my comrades were forced to venture into the dark without me. After much study, I identified what I believed to be the problem, and immediately visited a local merchant to obtain a replacement. Upon reassembly, I needed to visit the cave of drivers in order to complete the fusion of the replacement part and all its fellow pieces. I entered the cave, which had a path clearly marked "drivers", so foolishly, I headed that way. At the end of the path was a fountain of water, which I rashly dipped my weapon in to. Immediately I was surround by the same darkness that had gotten me in to this predicament. After a brief moment of panic, I decided that I should probably go back to the merchant and acquire another OS (Outer Seal) to apply to my weapon, since the old one didn't seem to get along with then new part. The merchant informed me that I would have to write down the secret code to get another OS, or else talk to the Indian Robot, and have it give me the code. Failing at the former, I tried the latter, and again ventured in to the cave of drivers. Again I dipped my weapon in the fountain, and again I was immediately surrounded bu silence and darkness. "Mother of Hera!!" I proclaimed as I stumbled out in the darkness. Upon returning to the sign that said "drivers", I looked more closely, and off to the left, near a tiny crack in the wall was a sign written in what appeared to be Greek. I decided to go in anyway, and low and behold there was another sign that said "weapons" and after that a sign that said "your weapon". After using the fountain found in this room, my weapon was again restored to its former glory, and all was well. Fin
