I have the game "The Black Cauldron" for my PC. My son and I have gone completely through the game and come up 5 points away from the maximum number of points (225 out of 230). Would those of you who have solved this game take a look at the following scenario and let me know what I didn't do? In other words, where did I miss 5 points? By necessity, in order to do this requires revealing how to go about winning the game, so those of you who don't want to learn more about the game should stop reading now. Thank you.
