Another variant of Colossal Cave (BRHA0017 in the Adventure Family Tree), with a few original quirks and some new content, particularly the beginning and end. Has some well thought ideas, like the funny interactions of the dwarf with some NPCs, and is generally polished and neat. But also has a horribly designed puzzle where you need to softlock the game to receive a vital clue and a couple of "let's require an unusual verb here" situations. I have added a full solution as there seems to be no complete one.
