You'll find the Mandrake root in the graveyard. It must be picked precisely at
midnight.

37- How I get past the Gargoyle?
The questions CAN be tough! Here it is the matter of using your SAVE and RESTORE
options. Everytime the Gargoyle ask you a question that you KNOW the answer to
SAVE your game before answering. If you get zapped back down to the botton of
the montain, simple RESTORE. He also have one trick question. When he ask for
the secret password to the Thieves Guild, you don't give him the right answer
he doesn't want any thieves in there. You only have to answer 3 questions co-
rrectly. You already know your name right? And do you guess that Erasmus's fa-
vority color was PURPLE?... If he ask you "What is the meaning of life?" well
everybody knows that "LIFE IS A BOWL OF CHERRIES" If he ask you for the mean
airspeed of an unladen swallow, even this hint can't help you.

38- Can you tell me about Erasmus?
Erasmus is a wizard and can teach you about magic. If you already know some
magic, you can play Mages Maze game. If you beat him, he'll teach you a new
spell called "DAZZLE".  Ask Erasmus about Erana, about the PROTECTION spell,
about Baba Yaga, about curses, about countercurses, and must importantly about
the Magic Mirror.

39- Who is Fenrus?
Haven't you been listening? Why, he is the second half of Erasmus's comedy
team. Don't tell me you didn't like the jokes!?! Fenrus is cute, but I wish
he'd lose the hat.

40- The Brigands keep attacking what should I do?
If you are a Fighter, fight those Brigands! they are not so tough. Count it as
an opportunity to build your skills and beef up your muscles. Don't forget to
search your opponents body after defeating him. If you are a THIEF you can
always run. If you are a Magic User, cast a spell at them.

41- I keep dying from the Night Gaunt attacts what should I do?
Well don't sleep in the forest! Hero's Tale Inn is safe for a weary traveler.
You can also sleep at the Magic Meadow, the Dryad's Wood, the stables at the
castle, or with the Hermit. If you MUST travel at night, you got to have the
Undead Unguent, don't leave home without it!!!
