    PARTS TWO & THREE. (Preliminary notes:- You now know that you are
    wearing a visor. Lifting it up will reveal the 'true world' and in it's
    lowered position shows you the 'adventure world'. It is a larger
    version of Reveline's dream from 'Worm in Paradise'. You do not score
    points for collecting the silver objects and as such it is advisable to
    wait until you are ready to tackle the Troll to avoid characters
    stealing your treasures. The spell names will be shown in brackets
    after you first encounter them, i.e.,EXAMINE WALL ['COLD']).

    GET SCALE
    FIND DRAGON (the Dragon will by now  be subdued as the mouse will
    attack it's weak spot when you meet it!)
    SAVE.
     (The following part can take several attempts to get right as success
    depends on how much the Valkyrie is carrying when you die. As such it
    is easier to give the principles involved and let the player work out
    how best to solve it! First find the Valkyrie by using the "LOCATE"
    spell or a directional command (RUN TO, FIND or GO TO). If she is on a
    cloud, you may have to kill someone to get her to leave the cloud. When
    you find her, give her the card from the mousehole and kill yourself!
    If it works right, you will arrive in Paradise. Now, take the card from
    the Valkyrie if she's collected too much this gets dropped and you will
    have to try again lift the visor, open the door and take the
    recruiter/reprogrammer).

    EXAMINE AMBER
    [MAGICIAN]
    FIND SACK
    TAKE SACK
    SAVE.
     (Now you have to recruit the Troll so having got the sack, go in
    search of as many silver objects as you can find. The easiest way is to
    use the "GO TO (Location)" command and press 'SPACE' whenever you see a
    silver object. Put them in the sack and carry on until you have about 8
    or 9 treasures or you could use "FIND (object)" to locate the
    following:
    SPOON/STAR/LOAF/CANDLESTICK/FOX/HARE/PLATE/SLIVER/SALVER/FISH/SIXPENCE.


    The actual 'mechanics' of the Troll puzzle are not particularly simple
    as the Troll jealously guards the bridge and you may not succeed at
    first if too many people are trying to cross the bridge. First go to
    the bridge and 'SAVE' your position. Now it is a matter of getting the
    Troll far enough away from the bridge so you can get into her lair! To
    do this, give her a treasure and 'WAIT' until she takes it. Move back
    away from the bridge and 'WAIT' until the Troll enters, drop another
    treasure, 'WAIT' until she takes it, move away and so on.......until
    you are alnmost out of treasure. Drop all your remaining treasures and
    RUN TO BRIDGE, open the door, enter her lair and take the wallet.
    Answer "NO" to her question and you can recruit her. Once recruited,
    you will find that when she has been given an order she will carry it
    out until you tell her to stop!!).
