> I have: acorns, the cog, both maps, the tourist brochure, the feather, knife,lavendar, the stone head, the iron and silver keys, the translated papyrus and the spade. I am stuck. I have some questions: where do I find the gold key? Is it important to get west through the mud and bog? Should I climb that bandstand where the steps are slippery? What about the pigs- I can't seem to find them. I have read about birdseed. Do I really need that? Where do I use the iron key and the stone head? Although I've come a long ways since I wrote to you last, I have a long way to go. Thanks. Sue

1) A really annoying magpie will take it someplace high, past the pig and near the end of the game. (Didja free him yet?)

2) You CAN go west, you just need to take a specific path through the yard. There's a gate that you can use that iron key on.

3) Reread answer #2 regarding the pig.

4) Well, unless you want the magpie to peck your hands off when you try to get the gold key... I'd say you need it.

5) See answer #2.

6) The stone head will not be used until the very end of the game - and its application will be patently obvious when you get to it. :)
