             Absence Makes the Heart go Yonder.

               Solved by Andrew Wielochowski

Object of the Game >>> To save your family and castle from the
clutches of an evil sorcerer.

Leave Crispin's house and have a drink of water from his pond. Go
South twice and then enter the town. You will see a man working on
a cart.  Talk to him. Now go into a shop. The shops are on the far
left a Tailors Shop, in the middle is a toy shop and around the
corner is a Shoe shop.  First talk to the man mending the cart.
Now go into any shop and then leave. By the cart there should be a
silver coin. Get it. Now use the hand icon and click on the barrel
next to the cart.  This will reveal a fish. Get the fish. Leave
the town and go straight on West.

Go into the bakehouse. Once the lady has left talk to the man and
then go to the inventory and choose the SILVER COIN, give the coin
to the man and he'll give you a pie.  DON'T EAT IT. Leave the
bakehouse and head West twice. You will see a bear attacking a
hive.  Choose the fish in the inventory and click on the bear with
it. After the bear has run off the Queen appears and informs you
that you may take some honey. Click on the honeycomb with the hand
icon. Now below the tree is a loose stick.  Retrieve and go North.
A dog is ravishing an ant's nest. Choose the stick icon and click
it on the dog.  After the dog runs off King Antony will appear and
offer to help you later on.

Go South and then East to the Inn. Use the hand icon on the
haystack and ants will swarm into the haystack and find a golden
needle for you. Now go North again and look at the toy the gnome
is playing with. Now talk to the Grandpa Gnome. Then go North
again and you should see a Weeping Willow. Talk to her. Now go
South East and you may or may not see a man weeping on a log.
Speak to him. Right now go West, North and West. You should be at
the Gypsies caravan.  Go West into the desert. SAVE HERE.


Walk into the desert and carry on walking West by the huge cliffs.
After a short time you'll come to an opening in the cliff and
you'll see a great temple. First get a drink of water from the
Oasis and then hide behind its rocks. WAIT. Eventually some
bandits will ride through and you'll watch them go to the temple
and do all the jiggery-pokery.  Once they have gone, get another
drink of water and then go South three times. You should now be in
the presence of a skeleton. Take his boot.  Now walk South until
you reach an Oasis. Take a drink. Now go South and then West until
you arrive at an encampment.  Take a drink of water from the
pitcher. Walk into the first tent. (You may have to do the
copy-protection thing). In the tent is the staff he saw the
bandits open the temple with. Get it and carefully get out of that
tent.  REMEMBER SAVE OFTEN.

Leave the camp to the east and go North three times to an Oasis
and get a drink.  Now walk north until you arrive at the cliffs.
Now go east until you reach the temple and then have a drink. Now
knock the staff on the door. Go in and quickly get the gold coin

and the gold bottle. If you are too long the door will slam
closed.  Get another drink and walk back to the gypsy camp.

NB: To get all the points you have to visit EVERY oasis in the
desert. So next issue I'll send a map.

AND THAT'S ALL FOR NOW
