Yoo-hoo, Dave and Amby. Are you still there?
Is the red crystal the microphone you talked about? If yes, how am I supposed to know it is a microphone? It may not be as I cannot put it in the dish.
The lentils - is the bag of this stuff useful?
A hint about what is the first thing to do would be helpful.
Still haven't found the means to open the droid, how to "melt" the golem, and what Tinsel can wear around his neck. Nor a weapon of any kind.

Sorry haven't been doing many IF games recently, so haven't looked at the forum.
To answer your questions:
A quick once over of the code doesn't show me any use for the red crystal, though I haven't been over it in depth.
To answer your questions:
No, the crystal microphone has the description of, well "crystal microphone"terri wrote:Is the red crystal the microphone you talked about? If yes, how am I supposed to know it is a microphone? It may not be as I cannot put it in the dish.
You can cook them and give them to the hippy.terri wrote:The lentils - is the bag of this stuff useful?

Use the tin opener, which can be found by EXAMINE POT in "This is a small roundish room. There is one door to the south."

THROW SAP AT GOLEM (the sap is acidic)
It looks like your feel for the answer earlier was correct, but you didn't have the right verb - DROP JAR (of soda) IN DISH will produce a medallions!terri wrote:and what Tinsel can wear around his neck. Nor a weapon of any kind.
Ah; I got it; I had to go in and play the game for a bit. This is a bit torturous and very spoilerish so I've put in white text, highlight for a solution:
- Go to the pantry and EXAMINE BOTTLES
- GET BOTTLE
- Go to the Old Guardroom
- EXAMINE WALLS
- SE
- THROW BOTTLE AT PLANT
- GET SAP IN BOWL
- Go to the Small Squarish Room
- THROW SAP AT GOLEM
- OPEN CHEST
- GET LONGSWORD
- Go to Small Roundish Room
- KILL TROG
Thanks Dave. That helped a lot.
Of course, I have more questions.
How to get past the elemental?
At the computer I finally got it to give me the hint about the next section. But it says I need to fix the other half of the computer. What to do here?
Is there something to do at the top of the tower?
Is there something to do when you hear the eerie voice saying "come on down"?
I haven't found the hippy yet.
There seem to be a few places where one dies, like when you open the chest, and when you go W after needing to light the lamp. Are these "red herring" dead ends or should one do something at these locations?
Thanks in advance.

Quick response as I have to go out soon. I'll respond later when I get a chance to do some proper digging.
You can ask the droid to fix the computer (IIRC it's SAY FIX COMPUTER to the droid, it doesn't matter whether you've removed the microphone or not).terri wrote:At the computer I finally got it to give me the hint about the next section.

You need to let the water out of the bath. How would you normally do this?terri wrote:How to get past the elemental?
The only action I can see for this room is:terri wrote:Is there something to do at the top of the tower?
So I guess that it is a flavour room, though there is an object here.IF (NOUN (NOUN 252:"TELESCOPE")) MESS (MESSAGE 52:"The telescope doesn't do anything interesting, so don't waste your time.") WAIT END

Needless to say I haven't found the dragon yet.
At the fixed computer, it says it will help you to solve a problem. What do I type in?
Amby, at the computer, when you examine the dials you see a slot. You need to put money in it. Then I just typed in stuff, HELP got me that there is a pain in the diodes, HELLO got me another message, then I tried REPLACE COIN and it gave me a longer message about what to say - though I haven't figured out what this has allowed me to do. (see above)
The money is where the pot is.
