Notes
1. THE DRAGON - When you are standing on the deck and see an immense dragon which appears randomly,
U (mast), U (dragon’s nose), E (huge nostril), N (maze) and GET FEATHER then S, W, D, D. The
dragon is very happy and a whistle appears on deck. If you get hopelessly lost at sea blow the
whistle and the dragon will take you somewhere recognisable.
2. THE DOLPHIN – This appears randomly After you have obtained the flask from Al-Kwarasi on the
first visit to the stone quay, the next time you see a dolphin blowing bubbles, GET FLASK, OUT, FILL
FLASK, IN (you now have the fishes breath mentioned in the ingredients).
3. THE ICEBERG – This appears randomly and it is here that you will find a plug, which you can use
to escape when you encounter the Maelstrom near the deep fjord. When you do THROW PLUG.
4. THE RAG BAG – If you forget to mend the sail after you have got the needle, opening the ragbag
will fill the sail with wind.
5. THE AMULET – This can be used as teleport device to return you to the ship.
6. THE SPECTACLES – Wearing these help you to detect “magic” objects.
7. THE SCROLL – Reading this provides you with a clue as to the whereabouts of the dogfighters.
