Dragonworld - early moves

You are Amsel of Fandora, friend of the Last Dragon. Suddenly, you
receive a message from the last dragon in the dragonpearl that he
has been drugged and kidnapped by the Duke of Darkness and is
being held in the Southland.  You decide to obtain the assistance
of the Monarch of Simbala, Hawkwind, another old friend.

The journey will be long and hard. There are many ways of
finishing the quest. Some puzzles have more than one solution and
others need not be solved at all. This is but one possible
solution. Remember that the arcade sequences are for your
amusement or frustration and are not necessary to the quest!! You
may find the picturesoff command useful in speeding up your quest.

So you board your boat, untie it and set sail east toward Simbala.
As you travel east you soon find your vessel destroyed and
yourself beached on an island. Quickly you discover vines and logs
which you tie together to make a raft. You also find dragonbane
which will ward off those evil coldrakes! You board the raft and
soon drift east to Simbala where you are beached.

You head east where you find yourself in a dense forest. You keep
heading east when you spot a windship overhead. Quickly gather the
dry underbrush and start it on fire using your magnifying glass.
The windship picks you up.  As you wait you discover that the
vessel is powered by jewels which burn when water is poured on
them. You also learn that the dragonbane is placed outside the
ship to keep away the coldrakes.

Finally you arrive at the palace. You enter and are taken to a
large chamber. While there, you talk to Hawkwind who agrees to
help you. You also talk to Ephrion who gives you some valuable
information. Then exit the room to the south and you will find
yourself on the stairs. Hawkwind asks whether you wish to take the
horses or the windship. Either will do. If you go up, board the
windship and set off to the south. A coldrake approaches!! You put
the dragonbane outside the ship and Hawkwind swerves to avoid the

beast.  Unfortunately, you crash. The ship is destroyed but you
are both unhurt.

You find the ship caught in a tree so you climb down and continue
east on foot. The trail then leads south, southeast and finally
east where you come to a fork. Avoid the swamp to the south with
its dreaded swamp monster and head southeast to a north-south
road. Keep going south until you find the road overgrown. There
you see some rare tanna leaves which you gather up.  The path
continues to the southeast. You then follow the path south to the
mine entrance. Enter the mine and take a torch.

You head south but find a crying woman blocking your way. Comfort
her and she gives you a wolf's tooth, the symbol of the thieves
guild. You remember that Ephrion mentioned a book in the Kandesh
library with a wolf's tooth!  The woman slips away into the
shadows, and you continue south only again finding your way
blocked! This time by the Kuln. Fortunately, they are afraid of
light and they let you pass when you wave the torch.

Continue south where you find a pile of rock. Move the long flat
one which reveals a tunnel and another cavern to the southeast.
There you find a skeleton. You examine the skeleton and find a
small key. Take the key and go up into a small cave. Follow the
daylight to the south and you find yourself on an ancient road. To
the south are the ruins of a villa. Go south to the ruins and then
west to an old atrium.

You see a tree sculpture with ancient amber treebears. You try to
reach them but they are too high. Ask Hawkwind to help you and he
lifts you up and you take one. Then go back to the road and keep
going south to the gates of Kandesh. You see a large knocker and
try to reach it. Again Hawkwind comes to your assistance and
knocks for you. The guard eyes you suspiciously but lets you pass
when you show him the tooth. You then enter the City of Kandesh
and head south past the residential area to the plaza......
