Well, I managed a score of 100%, but still with unvisited locations.

Once I have checked it, I will submit that walk-through to the archive.

Where the door was open, I said "CLOSE DOOR" rather than stay or wait. I think that got me one more point.

Strange, when I try CLOSE DOOR I get the same result as GO DOOR.

Boasting also seemed to add points (though sometimes I stumbled, and sometimes not).

This part puzzles me, you seem to ...

I take it that after the trial, when given the choice of STAY or GO DOOR, you stayed. You can obtain a scroll after the angels appear soon after you lose your burden, I have edited my earlier reply to show how.

By staying in the room after the trial I managed a final score of 79% with unvisited ...

Apologies for the delay, I gave the game a rest for a few days and then I also had problems with the dragon and talkative. Anyway, to get past talkative try HOLD TONGUE.

I'm not stuck at the Hill of Difficulty, that was as far as I reached in that session. Just LAP WATER then U (or the wrong way U without drinking, or DRINK WATER). I will have to look at the doorway problem.

I haven't got much further in this game, but PRESS GREEN PAD, wait (type Z) until the curfew then W. Next morning PRESS GREEN PAD, PUT CARD IN SLOT, go to the park and wait until Thompson appears. You can ASK THOMPSON ABOUT THE BOMB and ASK THOMPSON ABOUT THE MINING GROUP, whether or not you can ask ...

A strange game this, not so much an adventure, rather a linear series of puzzles where you have to work out the correct response; I now see that there is no need for an inventory. I wonder, are you supposed to stick to the path, or to stray and then redeem yourself?

Anyway I am currently at the ...

I suppose we should go to the other forum, but for starters, how do you find out what you are carrying?

Re. Bunyan, I read the magazine reference at WoS.

I have yet to start this but I wondered if either http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/131 or http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/7088 would be of any help. (Downloads near the bottom of each page.)

Wait! Having read the introductions it seems that Woodland Terror is the sequel to Firien Wood, so I suggest we play Firien Wood first.

Jacob, these are BBC games by MP software, but have a look at the penultimate post in the Crown of Mardan thread :)

Let's see, the treasures are a golden sword, a golden shield, a golden helmet, some gold coins, a small gold statue of a duck, a box of emeralds, a silver dagger, and a small bar of gold.

Hold on, I've had a thought, if you get a final score of 480 then that means you succeeded in destroying the ...

Before I redo everything again, do I need to have the statue of the duck with me?
I did not have the duck statue with me, as it is a treasure it was in the tent.

When I enter "south of the reply?" Whether I rub the lamp first or take the mask first, I die.
Strange, RUB LAMP worked for me.
