Uninvited - Mindscape - 2nd part
 
              Sent in by John R. Barnsley  
 
@~Continued from the last issue of SynTax where you had just
@~arrived at the Magisterium and were gazing at the empty
@~niche .....

Pay attention -- be on the lookout for an object shaped like the 
emblem on Superman's chest to fill that niche. Maybe a jewel? 
Maybe the same jewel mentioned on the scroll? Since there is 
nothing that will be accomplished by just standing around a 
building that you can't get inside, you might as well try the 
last building.
 
Go back to the Backyard. From the Backyard, go to the building 
on the right. At the Chapel entrance are two very rabid-looking 
dogs. They don't look very nice. In fact, if you aren't careful, 
they might bite your head off! SPEAK to one of the dogs and be 
very careful about your spelling. Say "INSTANTUM ILLUMINARIS 
ABRAXAS." After the thunder and lightning stop, the dogs will go 
away. Thank God! In fact, you might just get a chance to do so 
once you're inside the Chapel! OPEN the Chapel door and go 
inside. There is a bust inside the Chapel. SPEAK to the bust. 
Say "SPECAN HEAFOD ABRAXAS." This must be the brother to the 
doll in the Rec Room cabinet. The statue head will open the door 
in the upper left corner for you. OPERATE the lit candle on the 
large standing candleholder in the Chapel. You will need the 
candleholder to get through the next stage of the game, so try 
to DRAG it into your inventory. If it doesn't fit (and, if 
you've been following this solution to the letter, it 
shouldn't), REMOVE the potted plant. You should note that it has 
begun to sprout. Isn't nature wonderful? Now DRAG the 
candleholder to your inventory.
 
Go out through the open upper left door to the Church Grounds. A 
ghost will come by. If you have the candleholder he will leave 
you alone. If you don't -- well don't say you weren't warned! 
Ever get the feeling you're being watched?
 
[NOW IS AN EXCELLENT PLACE TO DO A GAME SAVE!] 
 
Go to the building in the centre of the Church Grounds. Oh, no! 
A maze! Now is the time to make a map. Go through the maze with 
the following directions. All of them have a northward facing 
orientation. North, west twice, and north twice. At this point 
you'll find the grave of Doug Dinsdale. East twice, north four 
times, and east four times. If you see a lone Zombie (and of 
course you will), OPERATE the gaudy chain necklace that you 
originally found in the mailbox at the beginning of the game ON 
THE LONE ZOMBIE. If you run into a group of zombies...well, 
nothing works against them, so run away. Continue east twice and 
south twice. Here you will find a CROSS marking a grave. OPERATE 
the bouquet of flowers on the CROSS as a sign of your respect 
for the dead (which you hope you aren't among soon). The cross 
will move, revealing another Secret Passage. Go through the 
Secret Passage (west). You are in a room with three cages.
 
OPERATE the KEY that you are (hopefully) carrying in your 
inventory on the LOCK to the cages. OPERATE the CAGE on the 
EAGLE to capture the bird. The snake will eat the cat and 
slither away. Go south twice. You will meet a strange, ugly 
bouncing creature. Notice as he bounces that there's an object 
just underneath him. OPEN the cage and release the bird. The 
bird will fly away and the creature will follow it. DRAG the gem 
into your inventory. It looks like it will fit the niche in the 
Magisterium door! Go north twice, east, north twice, west four 
times, south twice, west twice, south twice and east twice. Here 
you should find Doug Dinsdale again.

South twice, east twice and south twice. You should now be back 
outside on the Church Grounds. It would be a good idea to save 
your game here. You wouldn't want to go through that maze again. 
Would you? Yipes! It seems you are still being watched by that 
flying eyeball -- the proverbial eye in the sky!
 
Go south into the relative safety of the Chapel. Notice how the 
plant has thrived while you were away in the maze? Hey! How long
were you in that maze anyway? Return the candleholder to the
Chapel. 
DRAG the potted plant to your inventory. DRAG the CROSS from 
above the altar into your inventory.

The altar will move, revealing a new entrance. You will be 
warned about a giant spider. This time it pays to heed the 
warning. DO NOT GO DOWN INTO THE SPIDER PIT! Exit the Chapel and 
go back to the Backyard. From the Backyard, go to the Domed 
Building on the left. OPERATE the gem on the niche above the 
door. The door will now open. Go through the door to enter the 
Magisterium.
 
As you enter the room, you will see, floating in the center of 
the room, a creature that wiggles its tongue and rolls its eyes. 
It doesn't look friendly; what does in this house? DRAG the 
potted plant to the floor. The Creature will dive for it and 
take one of its fruits. Then he will leave you for a while -- 
better move quickly! The door on the right leads to the 
Observatory. Though it looks interesting, ignore it. There's 
nothing but red herrings there, and you don't have time for 
them. The door to the left is locked, and nothing will open it. 
OPEN the center door. Go into the Laboratory. OPEN the safe. The 
combination is based on the element numbers from the files you 
took out of the desk. The order of the elements is the same as 
mentioned in the scroll from the cabinet you found upstairs in 
the Master Bedroom: GOLD (#79), SILVER (#47), MERCURY (#80). The 
combination is 79-47-80.
 
Inside the safe is a cookie jar. DRAG the COOKIE JAR into your 
inventory. The cookie jar is sealed so tight that the only way 
to open it will be to break it open. The axe is back inside the 
House. Go back out to the Backyard. Hurry! Now re-enter the 
House. Go through the Trophy Room, through the Rec Room, through 
the Hall, back into the Entrance Hall.

OPERATE the axe on the cookie jar. Breaking the cookie jar 
reveals a -- oh, no! -- a cookie! Just a damned cookie! And 
after all that running, too! Well, maybe that little creature 
who's been running around with that key around his neck will be 
interested in the cookie. At least someone will get some 
pleasure from it. DRAG the cookie to the floor. The creature 
will stop and grab the cookie. He will then return the favour by 
leaving the key that he wore around his neck on the floor. DRAG 
the new key into your inventory. With the new key, it's time to 
go back to the Magisterium and see if the new key will open the 
locked door.
 
Go back to Magisterium through the Hall, Rec Room, Trophy Room, 
Backyard, Magisterium entrance to finally, the Room. OPERATE the 
NEW KEY on the door on the left to unlock, and, ultimately, OPEN 
the door; and, maybe, find your brother. What? The key doesn't 
do anything! Go back through the centre door to the Laboratory. 
OPEN the Trapdoor that's located under the cauldron.
 
[BEFORE YOU GO THROUGH THE TRAPDOOR, IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO 
SAVE YOUR GAME!]  Go down through the Trapdoor to enter the 
Cave. You can't go back it seems.

The shaft is too high, and there is a spider in the upper Cave. 
Go through the Cave on the left into the Ice Cave. OPERATE the 

PENTAGRAM on the Ice Cave. A strange creature will engulf the 
ice mass and melt it to steam.

There will be a human figure that will float to the next Cave. 
The robed man prompts you to follow the figure and move quickly. 
Once in the next Cave, OPERATE the figure on the pit at the 
centre of the altar. You have just killed Dracon, but that 
doesn't save your brother. You aren't out of hot water just yet! 
Go beyond the altar to the Stairway.
 
OPERATE the NEW KEY on the door at the Top of the Stairs. Now 
that the door is UNLOCKED, OPEN the door. Go through the door. 
HEY, WAIT A MINUTE! LISTEN CLOSELY! IS THAT YOUR BROTHER THAT 
YOU HEAR YELLING FOR HELP UPSTAIRS? Go out of the Study, through 
the Dining Room, through the Hall, and up the stairs to the 
Upstairs Hallway. Go into Dracon's Old Bedroom. OPEN the door in 
the upper right. Go into the Bathroom. OPERATE the faucet on the 
bathtub. The bathtub will overflow. EXAMINE the light fixture. 
Notice that there are handgrips on it? Too bad you can't reach 
it. And nothing you can stand on will move for you. Maybe with 
all that water flowing out of the bathtub you can float to the 
top. The water is climbing fast! Keep on trying to OPEN the 
light fixture. With each attempt, the water gets higher.

Finally, you can OPEN the light fixture. Go through the hole in 
the ceiling to the Secret Room. Thank God! There he is -- your 
brother.
 
But wait a moment he doesn't look too good. What's wrong? 
Suddenly a demon leaps from your brother's body and threatens to 
take possession of you. In the meantime, your brother, scared 
out of his wits, crashes out the window leaving you to finish 
off the demon. OPERATE the cross from the Chapel on the DEMON. 
The DEMON will fade to nothingness, leaving no tangible evidence 
of his having been there. You still need to check to see if your 
brother is okay. Go out the window and -- CONGRATULATIONS! You 
have saved your brother! Print out your certificate. You deserve 
it!
