[comp.sys.mac] Theldrow help requested

kevin@kosman.UUCP (Kevin O`Gorman) (06/22/89)

I've got all the parts of Theldrow, and it's working.  So far, it seems
pretty neat, with lots of spells and stuff.  However, I seem to be stuck.

I think I'm 3/4 of the way to something neat, but I have to find a book.
I've mapped and searched all over the place.  I've found the lever, and
two different dark places -- one of which I've never gotten out of, maybe
because my soul was lost, or something.

Seems to me, I got stuck in about the same way with the first release of
this thing.  Anybody out there done any better?

You're a little further on than me.  I also have 3 out of 4 and am missing
the book, found the lever (but I cant see any advantage to be gained by
pulling it), and found only 1 dark place (at the end of the dark
foreboding tunnel) - what's the other?  I've mapped out everything I can
reach, I can't see any loose ends anywhere.

Tiny spoiler coming up, but first: shouldnt this be on rec.games.misc?
























I asked at the Blue Dragon about the book, and was told that the hermit
might know.  Asking about the hermit, I was told that he lives to the east
of town, near the river.  I searched everywhere, but couldnt find him.

One of the messages says something like "Bizarre ??all south then ???? and
south then east then south" or something like that, my MacDraw map of
Boden and environs is at home.  What is this referring to?

Another parchment said something about something being "between the lost
woods"...what is this?

And is there any way of getting back into the good graces of a shopkeeper
after being banned for shoplifting?

I found the fourth part (of the quadpart key, not Theldrow :-).
Spoiler coming up...

























It's in the ant warrens. (You know, off the long tunnel.) You need to search.
Keep some fireball spells handy.

I got through to Thelos, when do we get chapter 2?
