Some of us play games. Others fix/amend/change/interpret games.

Amazing.

I will remember to post questionable/unfinished games (other than Spectrum) for your insights. Aah I missed this era.

See my previous hints.

The pole/wire/hook contraption - what would such a "fishing" contraption catch? To help you get "over" the obstacle.

I'm sure you will find something you need there for the obstacles that are left. Like maybe a ladder (for the traps), or the sticky substance, or the hammer ...

Let's worry about that if it comes to that. Maybe there is no"end-game" to that section. It's a touch devious of the author to do this, but then I may be wrong. It may not require playing all over again.

Nevertheless, you got me into this, so you'd better be prepared to do section four. Initially ...

I hope you are making progress.

One more section to tackle.

Well, with sheer persistence, I finished this section. I'll admit it has taken hours.

The magic word appears to only work once. Saving didn't seem to work here.

So knowing that the rope is there I ignored the door until the end. And it was a rope.

I had to play all over from the very beginning ...

OK I found the cheese.

At the sticky substance, I think you need to have the tied curved stick, the short stick and the feathers, then DIP. and look at the stick and the feathers. They should be attached to the short stick.

Then kill the spiders. You find bones there but don't know what to do with ...

Well, I did play it again. This time no cheese, so can't get past the rats. And no sticky substance.

I think the sticky substance is for dipping the short stick in, then somehow attaching the feathers to make a bow and then do the spider in.

See if that works.

This is all speculation of course ...

Although it is not in your list of verbs, the operative word at the dragon is THROW.

I'm afraid I may be at a dead end.

I am left with the spider. For that I think one needs a short stick (to make the bow and arrow with the sticky stuff), but I have no short stick and there is no other place that ...

Excuses, excuses!!!

A bit more progress, Amby.

With the hammer you can OPEN the rusted lock on the crate. No need to break it. You can then put what you find into somethiing edible and use it at the dragon. I'm pretty sure there is only one specific object to be found in the crate. Problem is the ...

OK. You got the hammer, I got the knife. With that I was able to USE KNIFE to ge the wires. But that does not appear to get me anywhere, as of yet. I still can't get past the door again and don't know how to use the wires. Maybe I need the short stick to make an arrow?

I'm going to bed and try ...

OK - I'll try that. though what is it that you wave? TORCH? How do you light it? I don't think "torch" is recognized.

I thought that the wires were needed for the monster (that's what was needed in the other part - oh well).

BTW - have previously gotten in the door by entering the magic word. I ...

I don't think so. Every time the game is played there are different objects available in full view. Hence my comments earlier - oil? rags?

I think that one needs to get rid of the obstacles to get other objects. Like I found the oil once I got past the rats. After getting the traps.

So if you can ...

You can tie the string to the curved stick. It appears to make a bow. But the game doesn't say - it just allows you to do it. However, I don't have a short stick (this time around), although I do have feathers. One could suppose that a wood pole could be used as a shaft, but not. Besides more like a ...

A touch more progress. Use the ladder to get the traps. Then your idea at the rats worked. That got me oil. Now what?

Regarding the stones. Carry the bag, use the hint I gave before (where are gems usually found - to use the correct tool), get the <stone> and put stone in bag. Ignore the gold stone.
