(This is a very simple adventure with a large map and lots of red herrings. You have 150 moves to
solve it. Don't waste time with EXAMINE, SEARCH or HELP, as they never provide anything useful.
There are two possible solutions. The first is to kill the Emperor of Zoblovia. This is the shortest
and most satisfying solution and is given first. The second is to give the Diamond of Poglovia to
the emperor. This is given second.)
