DARKWOOD
Written by Zosia the Pios
Walk Through by Dorothy Millard (C64 Version)
Notes
1. You do not have to kill the Havric or the Dehgedi but if you don't then you lose 75 points.
2. To increase hit points ask the priest to bless you.
3. Typing HEALTH gives you your hit points.
4. Typing "g" repeats the last command which is useful when killing something.
5. In the original program due to "bugs" you will not get some messages, in particular the
message where the dragon points to his scales.
