[net.games] *SUBTLE* Enchanter help needed

betsy@dartvax.UUCP (Betsy Hanes Perry) (07/11/85)

 
Help!  Here I am in Enchanter, I have scrolls coming out my ears,
and I have a few dilemmas which I can't understand.  If anybody
could send me *hints* (not solutions) I'd be very grateful.
 
1.  In the dream about climbing steps forever, what object am I missing?
I've tried collecting everything including the sacrificial dagger and
heading up the stairs, but I never get anywhere.  
 
2.  Is there a way to get the scroll from the Terror In The Depths
without freeing it?  I've tried erasing lines on the map (so as to trap
the Terror elsewhere), but to no avail.  I always wind up freeing the
Terror, getting the scroll, and winding up as A Menace To Society.
 
3.  Is the Adventurer useful for anything?  I've invoked him, befriended
him, and loaded him with treasure, but all he does is wander around
randomly.  I can't get him to do anything useful.
 
4.  Is there any good reason to use the spell which turns people into
frogs or the spell which creates gratuitous fireworks?  What about
the silver spoon, the black candle, and the battered lantern?
 
Thank you ever so kindly.  If anybody needs Sorceror help, I'd be
happy to reciprocate. 
 
Please be subtle, gentle friends;  if the endgame solutions falls out
of any one of these questions, please answer only that question.

Thanks for all the help;  I fully expect to bash those wizards!
I'm trying to reply individually to all the people who answerd me,
but thank you collectively as well for being so subtle.
