Part 4

Just a quick update - have to be off to work shortly. More later tonight, though.


Forgot I actually need one of those stones from the waterfall room so I've reloaded to before going all on the troll.


And, as long as we're back here I may as well show you our attempts to bribe the troll.


I'll need two of these.


Here, this is gold, really!





Oh, well, here's another one.








Ok, so that's no good. Reloading and using the spear again.


Here's our cyclops friend. And how do we kill cyclopes? Unfortunately saying Odysseus won't work. Nor will following in his footsteps and poking his eye out. Nope, we have to get Old Testament on him.






Got him! Let's look to make sure.


Hmmmm. Not good enough.




That's better. If I hadn't then we'd have to nail him with a stone every time we passed through here (which should really only be once more) and I don't want to carry all those stones around.


Looking at the well.


What's inside the bucket?


Ooooh, a gauntlet. This will be useful.


Finally inside Castle Shadowgate. Let's take the first left.


Nice. To my mind it's just not an evil library without a skull. We're going to take the skull and the map even though they'll probably never have any use.

Seems wrong not to end on a death, so here are some random "SELF" interactions:


Here's USE -> SELF


Huh. You get the same thing for SPEAK -> SELF or trying to use the sling on yourself. Let's try HIT -> SELF


This is always the result, no matter how many times you do it. So let's try using the torch on ourselves.


And again...


And again... (I think I know where this is headed)





Let's try using the hammer on ourselves.







How about the arrow?


Yep.


That series is also used for the sword and other pointy things.


Morning, Death. See you later.
