Are you referring to the wooden stake? I tried inserting that into the hole but "it doesn't fit". I've tried trimming, carving, whittling, cutting, breaking, splitting, shaving but so far, no luck.

I managed to get past the rats this afternoon, and found myself before a door I can't seem to do anything with/to. I also haven't figured out how to: get the scroll from the spikes in the pit, do anything with the bed (which should collapse under some weight), make use of the 'dispell magic' spell ...

Yep, did the wall/ceiling thing and used that information, along with the silver, to get in the tent and get the name off the belt in the bandit leader's tent. Also got one of the seer's required objects from the pillow.

Of course! The flask with water is the valuable the nomads want since the ...

Lagging Way Behind

I realize ya'll are finished already, but I'm trying to play now. So far I have: boots, eagle feather, flask w water, gloves, rusty knife - I had bread (which I gave to the old woman who keeps waiting for me to say something, dunno what) and silver (which I gave to the bandit leader). I really think ...

Tales of Mathematika

I think I played this one a while back and got stuck not too long after starting - couldn't get past the knight, lion, or horde of rats as I recall...

When you EXAMINE CELL and see your sister, you should be able to go W, E, N, UP
That's what I thought, but for some reason it won't let me go back up. This is the dismal chamber at the bottom of the steps, yes? I wonder if I forgot to do something before I came down here that has trapped me?

This is one of those times when I really wish I had a verb list (shhh, don't tell Jacob I said that) :)

I'm down below the slab and have seen my sister behind a locked door. Now I can't get out! I thought perhaps if I inserted the wooden stake in the small hole, something would happen. The game ...

There is a solution available, I found one at http://www.wurb.com/if/game/451. I still may play this one someday - it sounds like fun.

Thanks for the tips, especially RECITE - that's one I hadn't thought to try.

I'm still having trouble giving anything to Krankabold, the game keeps saying "I don't know how to give" - offer, hand, trade, exchange, swap, drop, switch don't work either. Either it's another verb I haven't thought of ...

Leather bag can be found 2 screens west of the river by PART BRIARS. The 2nd item to immerse is the scroll (which is very dry if you try to read it when you first find it, but is readable once wet).

I'm currently stuck on what to do with what I got from the priest after I took care of him - and I ...

Guido,

QUESTION any characters you come across and make careful note of what they say as they will cue you on some of the very few verbs this game seems to understand.

Also, EXAMINE and SEARCH everything mentioned in the 'there is' section of each location. Also try parting the briars.

And if you ...

I've immersed 2 objects in the river, found the leather bag but don't know how to get the Krankabold to accept it; not sure what to do with the slab/priest either. Nudges?

Ziggarat of Dread

Looks like I missed all the action on Swordstorm and everyone will be done before I start playing. However, since QN was kind enough to send me a map, I think I'll give the game a go on my own anyway.

I'm also back to working on Ziggarat and could use some help - I've killed the boar, but can't ...

Sky-non, re: Visio - it an be had for well under $100 US on EBAY if you've got the time to spend bidding on the occasional overlooked listing.

As for games currently being played, it looks like most are playing Swordstorm (from the most wanted list) which requires a C64 emulator. I'm about to start ...
