I'm posting this for some friends of mine who can't post news...

Anyway,  there are 2 burning questions in our minds and two lessor questions.

1) Some people have been saying they don't know what to do with the collar.
    IF we had a dog's collar, WE'd know what to do with it!  The problem is
    we seemed to have passed it up somewhere.  Where is the collar?

2) We have an orange cake which explodes.  What good is it?  If you take it
   down the well and use it it just crumbles to dust.

Now the lesser questions (??):

3) The Demon wants treasure before he will do our bidding.  We have 9 items
   (we can't get out of the bank with the portrait; see #4)  What is it 
   that will satisfy the Demon?  Can we have a list of the 10 treasures to
   be sure we have everything?

4) In the bank, what does the gnome want to let us get by with the portrait?

Any help will be much appreciated as they just got me started on this and 
I'll loose much sleep over it if help doesn't arrive soon. 

Feel free to mail directly to me if you don't want to clutter the net.

Who says it has to be good for anything?

You're going about this the wrong way.
You don't need to deal with the gnome at all.
Have you tried tossing things through the curtain
or walking into walls?
