and read it.

Go to the Front Door and turn on the light.  The switch is by the

Tie the rope to the anchor (to get a grapling hook).  Use the hook

A Green gem will appear on the sword.

Try to open the door to the barrow (to the north).  It won't open.
Head toward the love spring.  You'll meet Metria.  Don't drink the water
and don't do anything 'interesting' with Metria.  Eventually, Metria will
give up. [10]  The barrow is now open.

Start wandering around in the barrow.  Eventually everything will turn
dark, and you'll lose Nada.  When you find her, she will drag you off
to the love spring.  Don't drink the water.  Nada is really Metria in
disguise.  When Metria gives up, she gives you a homing device. [10]
The device is next to useless.  Return to the barrow.

Go to the switch room.  Flip all the switches (there are 16).  Then
flip them all again. Then push the button and descend.

the charcoal on the paper [10] and then read the paper. [5]

Return to the Lava lake with the fireman.  Put the flower (flour)
and the firewater (whiskey) into the morter.  Grind them with the
pestle and put it in the oven until golden brown.  Get the pestle

Turn off the water and get the hose from the crossroads. [5]

Enter the Troll's house and go to the workroom.  Look in the well.
It's the key!  Push the blue button.  Turn on the faucet.  Put
the hose in the water [10] and watch it fill the well. [20].
Swim in the water to get the key [10].  Return the key to the troll. [5]

You now have to solve one of three puzzles.  The blocks puzzle involves
moving blocks around a grid to achieve a certain result.  The pentomenoes
puzzle requires you to fill one of 5 grids with the 12 pentamenoes.  The
matchsticks puzzle requires you to move matchsticks to achieve a given
number of squares.  Here are the solutions to the first three matchstick
problems:

letter from the tray which when added to the given word and re-shuffled
will spell the answer to the clue.  All of the answers can be looked up
in the Xanth Com-pendium.

Round 1: REAPS  + 'S' = SPEARS   [3]
         SEAT   + 'D' = DATES    [3]
         CANES  + 'P' = PECANS   [3]

of the tiles.

Com-Pewter will now force the player to resign.

Talk with Grundy.  He has a virus.  After a while, he will tell you
that Com-Pewter unfairly kicked you out of the game and you will be
placed back in his lair.  You must still defeat Com-Pewter.  You catch
Grundy's virus.

Give the virus to Com-Pewter. [10]  Escape from Com-Pewter's Lair. [3]
