First I find the bunny, have fed him so many carrots now he is very well stuffed, he just gobbles em up and does nothing for me! after that i killed the goblin then killed the vampire,and killed the woodsprite but cant climb that tree too much slippery moss. kiled the orc, then visited the sorcerer. went back to him with the leaves. read notes south, on 2 trees, now i have 4 passwords. i know how to use tootle cakes and sanguine, but not how to use the other 2....
> > > > >
> > > > > North of woodsprite found biggest tree ever, tried all the options, it does nothing. Dead end south of sorcerer, has bats, nothing there.theres a tree on square with Leaves of dark dark green, but climb 2ft and tumble down, did it 10 times always tumble...gave up. the Burly Dwarf to the south just sits there like a friendly drunk enjoying his beer, which he will share doesnt help me, doesnt stop me.... lets me go see the spinx..... BTW i know the answer to the riddle of the spinx..... the answer is "MAN" anybody here remember the question? from there i cured the gnome and he was happy, went back to frollic with the pixies then found gold in clearing (which i took to soothsayer)3 NOW...going back to clearing same way i found gold does no good says nothing else of intrest......
> > > > >
> > > > > n/w of dead goblin i found the elf who lets me pass because i have the ticket....but i usually jump off the bridge for a fast ride home. Gee i just dont seee what you think i missed in the enchanted forrest.... sorry i sounded grouchy earlier.... im asking for advanced help, like it was so long ago I broke wall,i gave club no thought anymore.... but thought if i am having trouble opening drawbridge and have gone up volcano.... wouldnt it be understood that i must have killed the ogre? btw,throwing the branch for the dog seems a waste of time he dont help me. also when Im having trouble in enchanted forrest .... how did i get there if i did not fipx the bridge so i could get to the forrest?? now.... is there something really something else in the hut? I went back i did every option 10 times .... I get nothing!

> > >
> > > You have made great progress what are you talking about. Look at all the things you have picked up and accomplished. This is a full version game and a long one. I think that's what makes it so much fun. Anyway.....You need something from the soothsayer in order to get into the castle in the garden. You also need to get past the cat. Search the garden for another gold coin. There is a creature in the forest(the place where you killed the vampire) that likes carrots. Make sure you have at least two of them because you need to hurry back!!!! I don't want to give you too much. I think you should be able to figure it out. You are almost at the end of the game. Well 3/4 of the way ....Good luck.

> I felt like i was 3/4 the way.. when i had found 3 coins for the soothsayer and from reading others letters i knew about flower garden and cat..i knew i needed the fourth coin!I figured out why I felt like i had already got the hook.... when was trying everything on the drawbridge, and swing the fishing pole at it, it says something about my hook catching on something..but not strong enough to pull it down.... i tryed that so many times... at least everytime i took a coin to the soothsayer..so i kept seeing the word hook... thats what made me think i had already found it. 2 carrots..? didnt seem to need... can get a ride many times a day in same visit to the game...??unless i misunderstood... will try couple more things with 2 carrots...i got the pass ring now. cant figure out what to do with it yet. too tired now must sleep. will try again tommorow.
> thanks, Gwen
> P.S.The sphinx question???? does anyone know the original question from the sphinx.... The answer is "MAN".DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE QUESTION WAS ?

What walks on four legs in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three in the evening? For that last one, an old man's cane gets counted as a leg.

One question -- where is the drawbridge that you're trying to lower? You have the items that will help you, but I thin there are a couple of places where they might be used.

Have you done anything about the cat? Remember that you need to be patient in that situation. I believe that you have already done all the necessary setup to solve the problem.

Oh, and you may have to do something more than once.
