* In the storeroom, the price is safe inside doorway at right
  side.  When certain of his course, he must collect every
  treasure, dodging the Dragon's fireballs.

  loses a life.  But if the price touches him, the troll is
  vanquished.

  an arrow is fired at him.  Beware these archers!  They too are
  the lizards' servants.
