I have been playing Infocom's Journey on and off for the last couple of weeks. I seem to be at an impasse at the "magic mine." I managed to get out of the mine once without using an elevation spell and have retrieved the pick axe. Now that I'm back playing the game, I don't seem to be able to exit the mine without using up some powders. What combinations of dial settings actually do anything to the various holes in the ground? Any hints are appreciated, and if the hint is really obvious, THANKS!. -Winston

And more, I still didn't manage to get through the gate of the storage room, you know, the one with the writing above it. -- ---------------------------------------- Chris Brand - wizard@sosaria.ccs.imp.com "Justice is the possession and doing of what one is entitled to" - Platon ----------------------------------------

I have read a few letters with questions about Journey. Some of them are taking up the problem in the mine. The dials are activating teleports in the bottom of the different mines. The first dial stands for "teleport from" and the second dial means "teleport to". If you for example set the first dial to 1 and the second dial to 2, it means that you (if you enter mine 1) will be teleported to mine 2. Someone asked about the door outside the storage room. If you analyze what the magician says, I cant remember his name (its a while since i played journey last), well anyway he says something like "different ways to read different languages" . Try reading the text backwards. That's all folks. Greetings from Kjelle Mickelsson.

Ur, the mine rooms are numbered randomly every time you run the game. Experiment with the pick to find out which pit is which- you can use a winds spell to blow away the dust and find the labels for some of them.
