SORCERER Part 1 Oh my goodness! What's happening? A hellhound is racing toward you and it looks hungry! Is death anyway to start your new position with the Guild of Enchanters? Keep telling yourself this is only a dream...wait awhile and you'll wake up snug and safe in your bed inside Guildhall! Whew! But why is it so dark? Oh! Your FROTZ spell must've worn off during the night. Oh well, just FROTZ yourself and get up and go west into the hallway. Hmmm, what's this? A note's been tacked to your door. Read it if you want, but you have other things to do...like locating Belboz! Head south twice to the Lobby and go west into the Store Room. Take the Ochre Vial and the Matchbook then go east back to the Lobby. Reading the matchbook tells you about a nifty new potion you can order! Open the receptacle, put the matchbook in it then close it. Now go east into the Library. Later, after you finish the game, come back in here and read the Encyclopedia Frobizzica. It's loaded with all sorts of information about your favorite Infocom games! But for now, just get the scroll, GNUSTO MEEF into your spell book and go back west to the Lobby. Now go north once and west into Helistar's Quarters. She's left behind a shiny new scroll! Get the scroll then GNUSTO GASPAR into your spell book. Learn GASPAR then GASPAR yourself (just i case!). If you should happen to inadvertantly die during the game, the GASPAR spell will restore your character and put you back to where you last cast the GASPAR spell on yourself. I hope you won't have to use it! But if you do, at least you'll have it. Don't forget to re-cast it on yourself if you *do* die! Go east back into the Hallway and north and west into Belboz's Quarters. If you start getting hungry or thirsty messages, open the Ochre Vial and drink the potion. That will take care of any hunger or thirst for the rest of the game. When you've used the option, just drop the vial. In Belboz's Quarters, look behind the tapestry and get the key that falls to the floor. Now open the desk drawer, get the journal, unlock it and read it. You'll learn what's happened to Belboz and what he has designated the current code to be. Remember this code. Then look at the Infotater that came with your game. Look up the name of the monster that Belboz named as the code and note the colors that correspond to the monster. Write this color code down. You'll need it to open the trunk in the basement. Drop the journal and the key and go east and south twice back to the Lobby. By now, the mailman has arrived and put your package in the receptacle. Open the receptacle and get the Orange Vial. The issue of Popular Enchanting is useless. Time to take your leave of the Guildhall and start your journey to look for Belboz! Go down the stairs into the Cellar and push the buttons that correspond to the monster's colr code. You must do this correctly or else you'll have to start from scratch! So it's a good idea to save your game before you start doing any button pushing! As you push each button, you'll hear a click. After pushing the last button, the trunk should pop open revealing a moldy old scroll! If it doesn't open, restore your game and push the buttons again. When you read the scroll, you see it's called AIMFIZ and by casting it you'll be transported to someone else's location! Okay, let's AIMFIZ BELBOZ and see if that works! Oh well, it didn't find Belboz for you, but at least you're out of the Guildhall! But look at where you're at! There's that blasted hellhound again and this time it's not a dream! Quickly! Go northeast to the Forest Edge. Whew! The hellhound stops in its tracks and bellows at you. Finally, it turns tail and slinks back into the trees. Looking around, you see a signpost next to a northern path, the road you just came in on back to the west, a wide rolling meadow to the east. At the base of the signpost you see a slimy (ugh!) hole leading down. Might as well take our chances with the hole right now. So grit your teeth and go down into the hole. Part 2 Upon going down the slimy hole you find yourself in a Snake Pit. Uh, let's not spend anytime here, okay? Go down once more into the Slimy Room. It's not much better here, but at least there aren't any snakes or beetles! Go south to the Crater and west to the Edge of the Chasm. Now is a good time to read your Spell Book and ee what new spells you've acquired since defeating the evil Krill in ENCHANTER. Hmmm, a few new ones have been added! And it seems as if one of the new ones, IZYUK, is needed right here! Learn IZYUK twice, then IZYUK yourself and you gently leave the ground! Go west twice across the Chasm to Elbow Room. Now go north to the Tree Room. What a splendid sight! Who said Zorkmids didn't grow on trees? As you take a coin, though, the entire sight shimmers then disappears! Well, it seems that there's only one to a customer. Go south and east back to the Bare Passage, IZYUK yourself again, then fly east twice back to the Crater. Time to leave this strange place (for now!) so go north, up twice back to the Forest Edge then east and northeast to the River Bank. Don't spend much time here since the River Bank may deteriorate beneath you! Learn PULVER then PULVER the river and go down into the dry River Bed. As you look around at the flopping fish, you see a cave entrance to the northest. Go northeast into the Hidden Cave. Looking around, you see a pile of Bat Guano, a Soiled Scroll and an Amber Vial. The Amber Vial is useless in the game, so you can leave it. But be sure to get the Soiled Scroll and the Bat Guano! GNUSTO FWEEP into your Spell Book and go down the hole to the Pile of Bones. Now go southwest and up to the Ruins. Nothing to see or do here, so learn IZYUK and go west twice back to the Meadow. IZYUK yourself and fly northeast and southeast to the Fort Entrance. If you hadn't been flying, yu most certainly would've fallen into the river! (That river bank has started looking awfully unstable!) If you're feeling sleepy, you can go to sleep here. Go east onto the Parade Ground. You see a flagpole and high above, the flag of Quendor fluttering in the breeze! Lower the flag and examine it. While doing so, you notice a secret pocket and in the pocket you find an Aqua Vial! Take the vial and go east to the Gun Emplacement. Looking down into the barrel of the huge cannon, you see what appears to be a pile of ordinary scrolls! But when you try to take one, your fingers get nipped by sharp little teeth! If you read about YIPPLES in your Infotater, you'll soon learn that that's what you've found inside the barrel! Put the Bat Guano into the cannon barrel. As you do, dozens of little scrolls pour out and run away in every direction! When you look back inside the barrel, though, you see one ordinary scroll is left! Take the Ordinary Scroll. You can't GNUSTO it because of its complexity. Just carry it with you. Time to leave, so go west twice to the Fort Entrance. You'll have to learn IZYUK twice again because you'll have to go back via the River Bank. IZYUK yourself and fly northwest and southwest to the Meadow. Now IZYUK yourself again and fly east twice into the Ruins. The reason for this second IZYUK is because the Drawbridge has the same bad habit of disintegrating! Go down twice to the Highway and east to the Toll Gate. A fat gnome is sleeping soundly behind the toll gate. Waken himand give him the Zorkmid. As you hand him the coin, he lifts the gate allowing you to pass through, then he promptly falls back asleep...poor old thing! Go east twice then north twice to Outside the Glass Arch. Learn FWEEP three times, drop all your possessions and prepare to enter the strangest maze you've ever seen! Part 3 Go east to the Inside of the Glass Maze. All around you, you see Glass! The walls, the floors, the ceilings are all clear! It's impossible to tell what's there and what isn't! This is where FWEEP will help you out, so FWEEP yourself once. Amazing! You've turned yourself into a Bat! But, better yet, you've now got a built-in sonar and can "see" where the openings are! Follow closely, now, and don't get lost! Go north, east, south twice, west, down, east twice, northtwice, up twice, south and east. Whew! Solid ground again! You're outside the Maze and see a parchment scroll here! But as you pick it up, you hear fiendish laughter and out of the corner of your eye, you see the glass in the Maze shift ever soslightly! Now what? Someone's shifted the paths inside and it's the only way out of here! Drop the scroll down the hole (you can't possibly carry the scroll when you become a bat again!). FWEEP yourself again and.... Uh-oh. Now you've done it! From the base of the cliff, a hugeDorn Beast comes galloping and roaring toward you! Quickly re-enter the Maze! Remember, though, that the panels have shifted and with that Dorn Beast on your, uh, "heels," you can't afford t make any mistakes! Go west twice, south and east. The Dorn Beast, not realizing it can't fly comes charging after you! It lets out a high-pitched squeal and goes plummeting to its death! Thank goodness! Now you can continue at a more leisurely (but not TOO leisurely!) pace. Go down twice (past the splattered remains of the Dorn Beast), west twice, up twice, north twice, down and east. Here, the FWEEP spell will wear off, so FWEEP yourself again and continue by going south, east, north, down, west, south, west, up, and west to the Outside of the Glass Arch. You'll continue to fly for a few more turns, so wait until the FWEEP spell wears off, then pick up all your possessions, go south twice and enter the Hut. Inside the fireplace of the Hut you see the Parchment Scroll! Get the scroll and GNUSTO SWANZO. You should be getting pretty tired by now, too, so go to sleep and take a breather. Once you're bright-eyed and bushy-tailed again, go out, and west twice back to the gnome. With a little petty larceny in your heart, search the (still) sleeping gnome. In one of his pockets you find and take your Zorkmid back. No time for guilty feelings, though, so go west twice back to the Bend, southwest to the Edge of the Crater and down into the Crater. From here go down into the Winding Tunnel and southwest to the Park Entrance. When you try to enter the Park, though, a force field bars your way and soon, a gawdily dressed gnome appears and tells you admittance to the Park is one Zorkmid! Well, crime doesn' pay afterall! Give the pilfered Zorkmid to the gnome and go west twice and south to the Arcade. A hawker is standing here inside a "Bash the Bunny" booth and is asking you to try your hand at this innocent passtime! Time to put the Aqua Vial to use. Open the vial and drink the potion. Suddenly, your muscles vibrate and you feel stronger! Drop the vial and take the ball from the hawker. As you throw the ball at the bunny, it goes spinning around! The hawker gives you a Glittering Scroll as your prize and tells you to "scram"! No time to argue with him right now. Go north, east twice, northeast an south to the Hall of Carvings. Part 4 On the southern wall, you see an extremely lifelike carving of a dragon! Read both the Ordinary Scroll and the Glittering Scroll. You'll see that YONK augments the power of one scroll and that MALYON gives life to inanimate objects. Do you think we should bring this dragon to life? It's certain you can't go any farther and that dragon might be hiding a secret entrance! YONK the MALYON scroll then MALYON the dragon. The words of the MALYON scroll glow brightly for a moment and the dragon comes impossibly to life! As the stones from the wall fall around it, it roars with pain and anger! When it sees you, it thinks all this pain is caused by you! It rears back its huge head and with smoke billowing from its nostrils, prepares to turn you into a crispy critter! Just as the dragon takes a step toward you, it suddenly reverts to stone! Whew...saved! But look! Whee the dragon used to be, there is now an entrance into a southern passage! Before you go south into the passage, wait until your muscles feel limp. Then open the Orange Vial. You should only be carrying the Orange Vial and your Spell Book now. Go south into the Sooty Room. The noxious odor of sulfur comes from the room to the east. But there is no other way to go, so go east. As you enter the Coal Bin Room, you hear a thunderous roar behind you as the entrance is sealed shut by the collapsing tunnel! Not only that, the air in here isn't going to be breathable for long! Quickly drink the potion from the Orange Vial then drop the vial. As you do so, someone slides down the coal chute! As you look closely, you seem to be looking at your twin! Make careful note of the number your "twin" gives you, then give him your Spell Book. When you hand him your book, he takes it and makes a mad dive down the coal chute leaving you quite alone! No time to waste, however, since your potion won't last long! Go east into the Dial Room and set the dial on the door to the number your older self gave you. Open the door and go east into the Shaft Bottom. You should be empty handed. If you're not, drop everything you're carrying! Get the rope you see here and go up and southwest to the Coal Mine. Tie the rope to the beam you see here and get the beam. Now go northwest and west to the Top of the Chute. Put the beam across the chute, drop the rope down the chute and climb down the rope. As you climb down the rope, ou clamber inside a small opening you see off to the side of the chute and find yourself in the Slanted Room. If you'd been carrying anything, you wouldn't have been able to get in here. Looking around the room you see a Shimmering Scroll and an odd lantern with an open drawer in it. Read the scroll and you see it's for a spell that will take you back in time! GOLMAC yourself and open the lantern. Inside the lantern you find a Smelly Scroll! Take the Smelly Scroll (leave the Shimmering Scroll) and quickly go east down the coal chute! Your VILSTU potion has about run out and it's doubtful you will survive unless you can get out of here quickly! When you arrive back in the Coal Bin Room, standing before you is your younger self! He/You is dropping an Orange Vial! Quickly tell your younger self what the combination to the Dial is! When he gives you the Spell Book, go down the chute and outside to.... Fresh air and a Lagoon! As your VILSTU potion wears off, you get incredibly sleepy -- an unfortunate side effect -- so go to sleep. When you wake up, learn MEEF twice and SWANZO once. Drop everything you're carrying and go east into the Lagoon and dive. On the bottom of the Lagoon you see a tangle of spenseweeds. MEEF the weeds and get the crate they were hiding. Go west back to the Lagoon Shore, drop and open the crate. Get only the Grue Repellent. Get the Smelly Scroll and go northeast and north to the Mouth of the River. Those are stinging vines around the cave entrance and they'll kill you! MEE the vines and read the Smelly Scroll. The scroll is a protection scroll! VARDIK yourself, spray the Grue Repellent on yourself and go west twice past the Grue Lair into the Mammoth Cavern. Before you stand three doors. Belboz is behind the White Door. The other two doors open to miserable, everlasting, certain pain and agony! Open the White Door and you see Belboz lying here in a trance of some sort! SWANZO Belboz. As you do, you see the translucent shape of Jeearr rise from Belboz's body. It wafts towards you and "feel" a disembodied voice threatening to take possession of your body from wherein it will reign in terror for a thousand thousand years! As it begins to contract around you, it suddenly senses your protection from the VARDIK spell! Screaming in terror and agony, Jeearr knows he has been beaten! With a final scream, he disappears and all is quiet. Slowly, Belboz rises, questions you briefly, then speaks a spell that returns you both to the Chamber of the Circle of Enchanters. There, he tells the others what you have done and that he has finally found one to replace him when he steps down as the Head of the Circle...you! SORCERER is copyrighted by Infocom, Inc., 1984.
