As has already been mentioned, there is something else in DM
besides Zokathra that weighs nothing. The uses for Zokathra
include markers for mapping, directional markers for mazes, and
of course the use given in the Grey Lord's scrolls. (Can't
find the scrolls? Try his workshop...) If anybody has used
Zokathra in another manner, I'd be interested in hearing about
it.
Level 5 can be easily solved using simple mapping. The
teleporters send you to different locations depending upon which
ones you hit. You can use a simle map:
1 6
2 9 3 7 3 8
4 9
Moving (right) from spot #9 will send you to spot #3.
Conversely, moving (down) will send you back to spot #9. You can
use items on the ground, as well as the walls themselves, to give
you your position in the room. (That assumes you map the
dimensions of the room...)
The Pits are toggled on and off by where you step. Again, it is
fairly easy to map out where to step.
Any questions regarding DM1 may be directed to me at
daguru@ucscb.ucsc.edu. Be sure to make note of whether or not
you want a simple clue or a spoiler.
