Notes:
- You must examine all characters before using the word ‘GRIMMOLD’ with them
- If you kill the troll before you get the lid to the dwarves, they construct the bridge without
your help. Still though, there are no point losses
- One of the bad points of the game is that sometimes you must use ‘examine’ and sometimes
‘search’ to find things. For example, you must ‘search’ the uniform to find the knife but
you must ‘examine’ the guard to find the keys.
