RED MOON
Level 9
Walk Through by Dorothy Millard (C64 Version)

Notes
1. SAVE won't work if you are carrying iron, ie. the crowbar, coins, chain
mail or horseshoe.
2. Magic won't work if iron is present, ie. the crowbar, coins, chain mail
or horseshoe.
3. In this walk through the cheat "BURY....." is used when dealing with
other creatures.
