Timequest - Some Early Missions

Just to get you started, here are two missions that can be
completed without visiting any of the other time zones first.

Rome 44
-------
Your aim is to stop Vettenmyer's assassination attempt on Caesar's
life from succeeding.

From the interkron: OUT - UP - NE (Gladitorium) - get jar and peg
(and hear the sergeant's instructions) - SE (Arena; there's
a broken chariot and its wheel here) - put wheel onto axle -
examine axle (there's a hole in it) - put peg in hole - examine
jar (Cato's wrestling oil) - pour oil onto wheel (to lubricate it)
- enter chariot.

Wait (until you overhear the conversation about the lion and keep
waiting until you win all the races and are taken to the Imperial
Box. Caesar says he'll grant you a request) - ask Caesar for
wreath - wait (a lion breaks away from its handler and races to
the Imperial Box. The bodyguard drops his sword) - get sword (the
lion leaps at you) - kill lion with sword ......

Dover 1215
----------
You must ensure that King John signs the Magna Carta.

From the interkron: OUT - SE - N (A Tavern; the courier here hides
a pouch under his cloak at the mention of outlaws) - wait (you
find he's in the pay of Otto of Brunswick) - S - mount horse - W
(into the Forest) - wait (an arrow strikes the tree by you) -
examine arrow - get message - NE (behind the tree) - read message
(a warning that you should leave) - wait (until the courier
arrives and is attacked and knocked unconscious by some
familiar-looking outlaws; they find his gold and ask you to come
out from behind the tree).

SW - search courier (you find the hidden pouch) - open pouch -
give letter to leader (he passes it to the friar) - wait (the
friar reads it, understands its significance and makes a few
undetectable alterations; then he replaces it) - NW (you gallop to
the Thames where John is pacing up and down) - wait (the courier
arrives, tells how he was robbed but produces the letter) - wait
(the King's cleric reads the letter; John loses his temper at its
unexpected contents and signs the Magna Carta.......)
