The following happens when you SAY CLUES:
Certainly! Yer tis:
On Tinsel's disk there is alike
The genesis of a bold expt.
To this add a crystal mike
And something frothy man!
Glad to see it's finally finished!

OK - Dave - I am at the dragon. Other than the hint that he likes garlic bread, and that he eats anything I drop, how do I get past him?

That's makes sense, apparently you can DISBELIEVE and the dragon will disappear.

I'll be honest I tried playing the game and then gave it up as a bad job.

How to get past the elemental?

You need to let the water out of the bath. How would you normally do this?

Is there something to do at the top of the tower?

The only action I can see for this room is:
IF (NOUN (NOUN 252:"TELESCOPE")) MESS (MESSAGE 52:"The telescope doesn't do anything ...

Quick response as I have to go out soon. I'll respond later when I get a chance to do some proper digging.

At the computer I finally got it to give me the hint about the next section. But it says I need to fix the other half of the computer. What to do here?

You can ask the droid to fix the ...

Ah; I got it; I had to go in and play the game for a bit. This is a bit torturous and very spoilerish so I've put in white text, highlight for a solution:


Go to the pantry and EXAMINE BOTTLES
GET BOTTLE
Go to the Old Guardroom
EXAMINE WALLS
SE
THROW BOTTLE AT PLANT
GET SAP IN BOWL
Go to ...

Right near the start there's a room
You are in a small squarish room, which is just about bare apart from a box.
Which, if you OPEN BOX, you'll find something that you can use against the trog.

Sorry haven't been doing many IF games recently, so haven't looked at the forum.

To answer your questions:
Is the red crystal the microphone you talked about? If yes, how am I supposed to know it is a microphone? It may not be as I cannot put it in the dish.
No, the crystal microphone has the ...

That's the room with the droid, right? But I don't know what to do with it? I need a verb.

You need to OPEN the DROID, then EXAMINE it. But you need an object to open the droid, one that will normally allow you to open metal things.

Any help you can give us about the "foes" - the golem,

Sounds like too much effort! I just enjoy the breaking of the format and coding the reader more than the game.

You seem to have got it before I had a chance to work on it, it seems to be a simple subsitution cypher. Difficult to work out, but not as bad as it could be.

Do you want to put up the coded bit? I don't have much time to play the game through (Terri and Doreen are keeping me busy with buggy Spectrum adventures), but I'm always up for a challenge :-)
