THE TREE STONES
Mat Owen (1987)
Walk Through by Dorothy Millard (Spectrum Version)
Scenario
Bandits have taken your equipment and left you for dead in a clearing. You were on a mission to
find the three Tree Stones in order to save the world from destruction by the evil forces of The
Mearchent of Death.
Notes
1. If an Orc walks in before you have the bag off money just ignore it. When you have the bag of
money GIVE MONEY TO ORC (you are given a blue key in return).
2. If you hear footsteps, birds chirping or the rustle of leaves, it's just to add atmosphere
so don't worry about it.
3. If you get a headache, drink the liquid in the bottle and it will be cured.
4. A lot of the items are unnecessary to your quest, but I have picked them up anyway - well it was
something to do.
5. It isn't necessary to visit a large numbers of locations but some, for instance the marsh
and volcano, have been visited in this walk through to add atmosphere, as far as it is possible in
this game.
