DWARFS DOMAIN

NOTES
Generally, you can follow the notes of Terri's solution for ELFINDOR.
The hardest part is at the beginning, before you pick up the food - as you move
through the forest, anywhere and anytime you can get captured by the well-
dressed man; since you haven't had a chance to get the sparkling gem yet, it's
game over and you have to restart. You also have bad cards if you are attacked
right at the beginning and don't have a sword available yet.
The same applies to the location west of the empty clearing where the adventure
starts (small old clearing). It can happen that the trap door swings open
randomly and you fall into a dark pit. If you haven't already picked up the
rope, there's no chance to escape (on the other hand, once you've got the rope,
there's no need to enter that location again).
What Terri didn't mention (though it works in ELFINDOR too): when you've picked
up the golden bow, you should open the hole (PUSH STONE) which is the connection
to the Towering Castle, because when you later have opened the chest, then it's
easier to return to the side of a dusty pathway and continue from there.
SOLUTION
Due to the many random attacks of different creatures, you cannot solve the
adventure in one go, so the walkthrough can only show the basic solution (it's
recommended to save often).

aren't attacked, type SWIM [!] repeatedly [ignore the 'you cannot swim that'
message] until the hole appears), GO HOLE, GET ARMOUR, WEAR ARMOUR, EXAMINE,
