  I'm having problems with this game also.  Basically, there are
few places I can get to and a bunch of areas that I can't get
in because I don't have the right items.  It seems that this game
expects you to do things in just the order it wants you to, since
when you get an item, it only opens up an extra room or two.

  I'm stuck with no-where to go except wander around and kill
monsters.  All my characters are 7th level, so killing monsters
for an extra 200 experience is more than a bit boring.

  I have found the Key of Ramm and used it in the Kings bedroom,
found and used the rotten cheese, found the stuffed beagle and
returned it (although all I got was a silver key that doesn't
fit any of the gates I can get to).  I have used one of the spade
keys and killed the zombie.  I have also found and used the gold
key to get into the giant snake pit, but found nothing in there. 

  I don't know where the Captain's treasure is, and I don't have
the password to get into the Captain's Den.  I was also unable to
figure out anything in the room with cracks in the walls.

  I've been to most of the ground level, the first level below
ground, the first level above ground, and up each of the four
outer towers.

  The items that I have are :

   Kings Diary       - Unuseable due to it being in code
   Deadman's Diary   - Unuseable due to it being in code
   Dagger of Ramm    - No use found other than to drain HP when equiped
   Goats Mask        - No use found other than to drain HP when equiped
   Empty Wine bottle - No use found
   Amulet of Life    - No use found
   Mystery Oil, Book of Directions, 10 iron keys, 4 copper keys,
   1 spade key, 3 chrome keys, and a silver key.

  A walkthrough and/or outright spoilers will be welcome since I'm
tired of having nowhere to explore, and finding things like the
jailers key which only opens up a couple extra rooms only adds to
the frustration.

  Thanks,

    William Dockendorf
