If anyone can help with hints or (better!) a solution, can you contact me please? ------------------------------------------------------------------ Ron Rainbird is stuck in Abandoned Places where he has just got into the town of Twilight where he received his first quest - to enter a dungeon and exterminate all the monsters there. He says, "I thought I had done so but when I returned to my 'sponsor' he told me I had not completed the task, so back I went. I hate mapping but in this instance I did and still could not find any beasts still roaming around, so back I went to the Mage, only to be told my task was still incomplete. I cannot move on to the next quest until I pass this test so I followed the solution - same result! Can you help enlighten me? The game, needless to say, has gone into the 'pending' tray once again." ------------------------------------------------------------------ SynTax Begging Section Solutions and/or maps are urgently needed for various commercial and PD/Shareware games, especially: The Adventurer, Adventures Through Time, Another Lifeless Planet, Asteroid Adventure, Awe-Chasm, Battune:Crimefighter, Captive, Castle of the Alchemists, Castle of Doom, Castle of Hornadette, Catacomb, Corporation, Crime to the Ninth Power, Crown, Deadly Labyrinth, Dead or Alive, Deep Space Drifter, Demoniak, Don't Bank On It, Dunjin, Eaglestar, Elven Crystals II, Escape from Maya's Kingdom, Everyday Adventure, Fifi's Whorehouse, Flippin' The Lid, Forbidden Quest, Frustration, Fun City Adventure, Grungy Towers, Hassle Court Adventure, Hero Quest (Gremlin), Hugo I (full version), Hugo II, Hugo III, Island of Lost Hope, Island of Nephotons, Isthorn, Jacaranda Jim, Journey in the Past, Journey to the Centre of the Earth, Jubilee Road, King's Quest VI, Last Half of Darkness, Les Manley:Lost in LA, Lost Soul Adventure, Lost Stone Mansion, Magic Mansion, Maupiti Island, McMurphy's Mansion, Mercy Mission, Mister Scratch, Multi-dimensional Thief, Nebula, Nethack (STAC version), Nirvana, Obscure Naturalist, Ogre, Omnicron Conspiracy, Operation Blue Sunrise, Phantom Zone, Prodigal Son, Public Investigations, Sanity Clause, Seventh Heaven, Sherwood (AGT), Snatch and Crunch, Son of Stagefright, Space Rogue, Spiro Legacy, Suicide or Murder, Tales of Tavisa, Time, Treasure of the New Kingdom, The Tube, T-Zero, Unnkulian II or anything else not covered already in the magazine or listed in the solutions section. * * * @~If you've got a problem, maybe a SynTax reader can help.
