DISCWORLD 2 - Getting Started

            Taken from a solution by Phil Darke

DEATH seems to have gone AWOL leaving the souls of the departed
with nowhere to go.  In order to rectify this situation the
Archchancellor of Unseen University has declared that it will be
necessary to perform the Rites Of Ashkent. This requires that a
number of ingredients be collected in order to perform the
aforesaid Rites and this is where Rincewind comes in. You start in
the University Dining Hall with the Luggage and a list of
ingredients. These are; Glitter Dust, Three pieces of wood all
exactly the same length, 4ccs of mouse blood, Dribbly candles and
a vile smell.

GLITTER DUST Go to the Plaza and have a chat to the Milk maid who
is doing a Marylin Monroe impersonation outside the Odium. Take a
good look at the dress, it is covered in sequins - just what you
need. Take a closer look at her impersonation and you may notice
that something is not quite right, maybe a bit of a draught from
the grating she is standing on would do the trick. Next go to the
University's High Energy Facility. After a bit of a chat and a
good look round, grab the bellows and head for the ruins of the
Fools' Guild. Go down the hole and into the sewers. Search around
and you will find yourself under the grate on which the Milk maid
is standing. Use the bellows on the grate and you will be showered
with sequins.  Bingo! back to the university and hand them over to
the Archchancellor.

THREE PIECES OF WOOD. Go to the garden and take a look at the
croquet mallets which the Dean, the Bursar and the Librarian are
using. The handles of those mallets would be just perfect. Of
course their present owners are not willing to part with them so
you need to find something to put in their place.  The first of
these is easy to find. Just go to the wandering shop and after a
chat with the owner take the stuffed Flamingo. Also take the
stuffed Fish. Now go to the docks. There is a bird sitting on the
roof who would make a good mallet substitute and also hanging up
in the net is a Hammerhead Shark who would do very nicely. Throw
the stuffed fish into the water. The Bird will dive down to grab
it and knock itself out so pick it up. The net however is not
going to give up the shark so easily and you need something to cut
the net. Go to Shades and find the entrance to the mortuary.
Inside is a slops trough, examine it and take the knife. So back
to the docks and use the knife on the net and pick up the Shark.
Now head to the University Garden and swap the Shark for the
Bursar's mallet, the Flamingo for the Dean's mallet and the Bird
with the Librarian.  Take the mallets to the Archchancellor ...
