ACT TWO

It appears that DEATH has decide to take a holiday in the land of
XXXX and you need to find some transport to get there. If you go
to the docks you will find a ship moored there. Talk to the
captain and ask him for passage to XXXX. He tells you that he is
booked up to take the undead and since you are clearly alive there
is no place for you. Go to Shades and talk to the dead collector.
He tells you that you need a death certificate. Go to the mortuary
and talk to the mortician. Ask about a death certificate and he
tells you that he has to perform two tests before he can issue you
with a death certificate. The first test is if you do not cloud a
cold mirror and the second is to test your pulse.

You need to get a false arm.  The dummy in Mrs. Cake's shop would
be perfect, but you cannot break the arm off. Go to where the
beggars are and take the saw. Return to Mrs. Cake's and use the
saw on the dummy.  Return to the mortuary. Your breath would
obviously cloud the cold mirror. So you need to warm it up. Pick
up the mirror and use it on the bunsen burner. Put the mirror back
on the bench and hop onto the slab. Use the wooden arm on
Rincewind and talk to the mortician. Great, you passed the tests.
Unfortunately he forgot to tell you about the final test, to check
body temperature. The size of the thermometer and its intended
target give Rincewind a shock and he fails the body temperature
test. Something is clearly need to reduce Rincewind's temperature.
Some ice would be just the job.

Go to the sewers where you got the glitter dust. Nearby is a
ladder leading up to the Pork Futures warehouse. You cannot just
pick up the ice though, you need something to break a chunk of it
off. Go to the cemetery and take the pickaxe and use it to get
some ice. Now return to the mortuary and repeat the previous
procedure but this time use the ice on Rincewind.  You get your
death certificate. Show it to the dead collector and it's hi ho of
to XXXX.

When you get there DEATH is lounging around on Bonedie beach. Have
a chat with him and he finally agrees to come back but only if you
can make him more popular. How about a clickie with him in the
starring role?  Who do you know who does clickies; Dibbler of
course. So it's off back to Ankh Morpork and talk to him. He
agrees but requires three things; Some novelties, a gorgeous babe
and a catchy jingle with a band to sing it.

NOVELTIES

There is a novelty shop on the docks in Ankh Morpork but since
Rincewind has no way of getting in there he is going to have to
break down the wall. Head for Holywood.  Here you will find a 1
ton weight. Take it and return to the docks. Use the weight on the
hook which held the net. Swing the weight against the wall. It is
not heavy enough to break the wall, so you need to find a way to
make it heavier. Go back to Holywood. Look at the mail box near
where you got the weight.  It has a label with 10 on it take the
label and go and stick it onto the weight and try again. This time
the wall is demolished. Pick up the novelties and head back to
Holywood and give them to Dibbler.

A GORGEOUS BABE

The obvious candidate for this is the milk maid, who has now taken
up residence in the trailer near where Dibbler is. Look at the
door, it is locked. The Troll security guard has the key. Talk to
him and persuade him to give it to you. Open the trailer door and
go and talk to the milk maid. She will help you, but only if you
find her a little friend; by which she means a diamond.

In the course of your conversation with the troll you should have
discovered that trolls' teeth are made of diamond.  Earlier in the
game when you spoke to Gimlet you should have discovered that
trolls are very partial to rock candy, but he has run out. The
source of rock candy is Djelibeybi. So head off there.

Look at the rock candy and talk to the rock seller. Just as you
are about to clinch the deal a bunch of women appear and grab it.
It seems that this is used as ammunition for stonings, but there
is not one scheduled for a couple of months. Rincewind is going to
have to arrange a stoning, since he can't wait that long.

Remember the suffrajester, back in Ankh Morpork? She would be
ideal. First go to the stoning area which is to the left of the
rock seller and take the stake. Go back to Ankh Morpork. The
suffrajester has tied herself to the dovecote in the university
gardens. Talk to her and then use the stake on the compost heap.
The suffrajester will tie herself to the stake and Rincewind can
grab the stake with her attached and head back to Djelibeybi. Go
to the stoning area and use the stake on the hole. After the
stoning take the rock candy and the rope and head back to
Holywood. Give the rock candy to the troll and when he complains
of toothache use the rope on him.  Take the diamond and give it to
the milk maid. Pick up the milk maid and give her to Dibbler.


A CATCHY JINGLE

Go to Djelibeybi and talk to Uri Djeller. He tells you about a
philosopher in the desert. You cannot get there on foot so hire a
camel and head off into the desert.

Go to the cartwheel and talk to the philosopher. He writes a
jingle for you but before he will give it to you you must find the
answer to the eternal question; WHY. The computer in Unseen
University's High Energy Facility could supply the answer. Go and
talk to Skazz.  Since your last visit the machine does not work
due to a shortage of ants. So off you go to get some. There is an
anthill near Bonedie beach, but of course you can't just pick them
up. You need some bait. A hamper full of food would do. Go and
talk to Dibbjla in his shop. He will give you a boomerang. Look at
the baskets in his shop and buy a basket. An empty basket is no
use of course so you need to fill it.

Go to the dining hall in the University and use the basket on the
anthill. Go back to the High Level Energy Facility and use the
basket on the machine. You didn't think it would be that easy, did
you? The little buggers are quite happy where they are and show no
inclination to get into the machine.  You need something to tempt
them, something sweet. How about some honey? First you need a
container. Go to the Shades. Near the Beggars there is a pot, go
and get it then go to the bee hives. Use the same procedure as you
did to get the wax but use the pot on the hives. Now go back to
the High Level Energy Facility and use the pot on the hamper.
Hooray!  Success! The ants are now in the machine and you can ask
your question WHY? Skazz tells you that it will take a little
time; about two million years. Back in Djelibeybi there is a man
who builds pyramids which slow down time.  Maybe he could build
one to accelerate time.

So head off there but first pick up the hoops from the croquet
lawn. When you get back to Djelibeybi talk to the architect and
take the plans from the wall.  Now go to the square and talk to
Uri Djeller. Give him the croquet hoops and he will straighten
them for you. Now go back to the High Level Energy Facility and
use the plans on the wires, to construct a pyramid.  Use the
pyramid on the machine and then talk to Skazz.  Finally you get
the answer, BECAUSE! OK head back off to the Philosopher and give
him the answer and he will give you the jingle. Go and give it to
Dibbler.

You still need a band to perform the jingle.  Go to the hill near
Djelibeybi and talk to Bone Idle. He agrees to perform. Use the
knife to cut him down and go and give the band to Dibbler. Great
you got everything now you can start shooting, but where is the
star DEATH? Still in make up.  DEATH is being awkward and nothing
the make up girl does is right.  She refuses to do any more unless
you bring her a picture of the elven queen. To do this you are
going to need a camera and an imp.  Go to where the trainer is.
There is a camera here so take it. You also need an imp to take
the picture.

Ask the trainer about imps.  He tells you to take the one on the
water cooler. The imp runs off as soon as you try to grab him. Use
the boomerang with the paint.  Then use it on the imp. Use the imp
on the camera. So off to find the Elven Queen. The only person who
can tell you where to find her is Granny Weatherwax. So go to the
mortuary in Ankh Morpork and talk to her. She is being pestered by
Casanunda, thanks to your efforts earlier in the game. Granny
Weatherwax will only help you if you get rid of him. Talk to
Casanunda and tell him about the women in Djelibeybi and he will
be off. Now ask Granny Weatherwax about the Elven Queen. She shows
you where the elven lands are situated. Go there and double click
on the stones. Rincewind can get in but the luggage can not
follow. Go to the castle and you are chased away by the guards.
The guards mention that the Queen's pet is missing.  Go and ask
Granny Weatherwax about the pet. She tells you that it is a
Unicorn.

In the wardrobe department in Holywood there is a pantomime horse
costume. The wardrobe lady will give it to you in exchange for
some costume jewellery. At the Oasis near Djelibeybi there is a
mummified arm with a ring on it.  It is guarded by a pair of
Vultures. They will not part with it so you need something to swap
it for. The wooden arm would do but first you need to wrap it in
some cloth. Go to Mrs. Cake's shop and take the scissors.  Now
where do you think you could find bandages?  In a pyramid of
course. Go to the Pyramid near Djelibeybi and use the scissors on
the mummy inside the tomb.  While you are here take the embalmers
glue, you will need this later. Use the bandages on the wooden arm
and return to the Oasis. Swap the wooden arm for the rotten arm.
Go back to the wardrobe lady. Take the ring from the arm and give
it to her. She will now give you the horse costume.

To make it into a Unicorn you need a horn for it. Near the Fools
Guild there is a hooter, go and get it. Now go to the dining room
in the University. Talk to the librarian and ask him to partner
you in the Unicorn suit. Use the suit on the Librarian, he takes
the front end. Use the glue on the hooter, then use the hooter on
the suit. Go back to the Elven lands, but before entering transfer
the purse from Rincewind's personal inventory to the luggage and
the camera and the horse costume to the luggage's inventory. Enter
the stone circle then use the horse costume on Rincewind. Enter
the castle and use the camera on the Elven Queen.  Get out of
there and go back to Holywood. Give the picture of the Elven Queen
to the make up artist. Ok everything is finally set to start
shooting the film.  Talk to Dibbler and the filming starts.  After
the first few scenes, DEATH objects to having to perform his own
stunts and demands that you provide him with a stunt double.
