Re: tinderbox

Don't know why it didn't work for me before. Maybe I said "shoot bow" instead of "enter contest"

You have to be in the chapel to "call chaplain".

The witch is in the caravan two locations east of the clearing. When you see the willow touching the water, go N, N, E, E.

I found that dropping ...

tinderbox

Hi everyone
Doreen and aI are playing Tinderbox (Spectrum). While the reviews are horrible, it does not appear to be that bad of a game.

While you need to find some coins with which to buy food, that may not be necessary as when you are starving you are taken in by a chaplain who gives you food ...

I did FOLLOW ROAD, checking the score points, and they diminished when I went that way.

Thanks for the tip about the scroll. I keep using "take" not "get". I have finished with 87%. I think the score depends on the number of locations you visit and/or the number of times you get a scripture passage to read.

Where the door was open, I said "CLOSE DOOR" rather than stay or wait. I think ...

Yes, I stayed after the trial when the open door was present. I saw angels but did not get any scroll, nor did I lose my burden. I thought I lost that a while back, much closer to the beginning. I suppose I could go back and not "lose" it there, but if I did the right thing there, why should it ...

I am stuck again. I have 74%, am at the gates and need scrolls. Have you come across them? Other than at the beginning, I haven't come across any objects.

Apparently one loses points visiting some locations. Sometimes it appears not to matter what you say, presuming since the object of the game is ...

I am now stuck after meeting "talkative". Any suggestions? He tells you to read Romans 12 and Galatians 5 and 6.

By the dragon - after taking the shield of faith, any way to avoid getting wounded?

Lap water, eh? Seems to me that is the opposite of the Bible reference's intention. Oh well...

The place I was stuck in - I think that is just a dead end, though there are many places you can get out of. If you go in and promptly leave, yu can get out.

At the hill - if you just DRINK WATER, you ...

Well, you have made much progress. I too don't know what to do at the Hill of Difficulty. My Bible reference says to kneel, but the game does not recognize that verb.

The doorway I was stuck in is earlier. When the gate opens after you knock, I didn't go in but went south, rb gives you Mat7v13-14 ...

I don't remember the hill of difficulty.
What I've done so far (and it was some time ago) I ate a meal, rested, asked the man for help, went north, ran, asked in faith somewhere, followed somebody, met the man who said to take the shortcut (but I don't think I did).

Is that where the Hill of ...

Pilgrim's Progress

I don't know how to check your inventory. As far as I can tell you don't have to. Once you get the book, that appears to be all you need. The rest are actions, not objects - at least I haven't run across any yet. There appear to be random elements here, or junction points where you can go in ...

Actually on further thought, you do need the Bible because the game gives you the book and chapter and verse. So you need to look them up. It's a touch tedious, but interesting nonetheless.
