Seven Parchments of Kandor

Spectrum game. There is a puzzle close to the beginning of this game, which for love nor money, I can't figure out except by cheating. You get spells and points though how to use them. People come in and out and can join you.

Any takers to play this with me?

Bravo Doreen!!
This certainly has been a communal effort and I thank you both.
What was your point score? I didn't drink the liquid in the jug, and only got 95%.

Is anyone willing to write a solution? I would; however, since my emulator has all these glitches, I'm not sure I should be the one to do ...

I'm no further ahead either. Chopping the bench does no good. Chopping trees does what Alastair says.

Does anyone know what the niche is for? Or the pillar beyond the desert?

I know you don't have to kneel; if you're praying to the dead, don't you think you should?

I didn't drop anything in the other hut. With the problems this emulator is giving Doreen and me with the cloak/necklace, I couldn't pick anything up again, and I didn't want to be left without the necklace ...

A bit more progress. Throwing the stone at the guard allows you to go past. UNTIE PENELOPE (remember to capitalize the P). You can call the eagle with the shell and climb on him, but the natives wait for you on the other side of the bridge.

So I'm stuck again.

Sorry for yet another post, but I have solved the tomb puzzle. Wearing the medallion, kneel, SAY ASGOTH (you must use caps for Asgoth), a tunnel opens south. Go back to the man, He gives you a jug. DRINK LIQUID gives you a dream about Penelope, but you probably should not do that, and find some ...

Well I managed to get the cloth north of the bridge. I wore the necklace, so try that Doreen, then I could also get the cloak.

So we are left with the swamp and tomb puzzles.

We have the stone for which we have not yet found a use.
I will try giving the necklace to the guard at the village, though ...

Yes, I realized I needed the map in the desert.

The emulator I am using is Spectaculator. No I cannot cross the bridge with just the cloth, with or without the cloak, wearing it or not.

The man in the hut wants the medallion, but how to get out of the tomb is still a mystery. What did you do with ...

Thanks for the maze tip Alastair.

I can't get the cloth past the bridge, i.e. north. Any other way to get it to the boat?

Yup me too.

I had to restart from the beginning to get the map.

I found that I am now having trouble with getting objects unless you have the cloak. And crossing the bridge with objects....aargh.

At the lily pad - the only way I could do this was to go and retrieve the shovel (presming you won't ...

Well, I tried throwing the flask at the stone door (west of the wall by the gate beyond the pool). That didn't work. It didn't work at the two pits in the caves either.

Nor does it seem to work elsewhere.

Do you suppose that one should get the map (with the mushroom), and then throw the flask at ...

I too have not had the problem at the bridge that you had Doreen.

Thanks Alistair, about the small key. I forgot that I had already opened the hatch.

Yup, it does sound as if the vines can add to the rope. However, I have not been able to get back there after getting the axe.

I wondered about the ...

Wow Alistair, you have really made some progress.

You say the small key has two uses. One is giving it to the woman (by the garbled room, which is no longer garbled in the version you recommended). What is the other use?

The rodent - two uses - have you found a use for the stone? Since it's a ...

I too have got this far but without the map.

Going east after you get the rodent, there is a stone there.

So I can get the axe from the troll room, but then how to get out? You can give the rodent to the eagle, and he takes you to the tomb where there is a medallion, but how to get out.

I wonder ...

Thanks for all those tips.

Re: the well: I seem to remember going down there, holding my breath, but don't remember what happened. I'll have to re-explore.

What did you feed the rodent with?

Getting the carlet cloak? Is this the lady you give the necklace to? Sometimes she is there sometimes not ...
