DAY 8
You sleep well at Katta’s Tail Inn, and wake up feeling refreshed. SIT down at the table, and Shema will bring you some breakfast. Tell her THANKS, then EAT your breakfast. Now STAND up, and leave the Inn. Shameen tells you that Shema is dancing tonight. You’re looking forward to it.
Now outside the Inn, your Saurus will greet you with a big ‘GRONK’ and a lick to the face. Isn’t that nice! However, you have to take him back to the Saurus Stables.
After dealing with your Saurus, SAVE YOUR GAME HERE. USE MAP, and jump to Aziza's house, with the big purple door. Remember, you have to be polite to her, so KNOCK DOOR, and she‘ll let you in. Walk down the stairs and sit at the table with her. She‘ll ask if you want to share some tea, so tell her YES. ASK ABOUT AIR ELEMENTAL. She will tell you all she can, but Keapon Laffin knows more about this than she does. Say BYE to leave.
Let’s go and visit Keapon Laffin then. USE MAP and jump to the Magic Shop. ASK ABOUT AIR ELEMENTAL. ASK ABOUT AIR. ASK ABOUT EARTH, ASK ABOUT FOOLER'S EARTH and he will give you a Pot Of Dirt which you can use to defeat the Air Elemental. Tell him THANKS, then leave his shop.
So from what Aziza and Keapon Laffin have told you, you need some special earth to stop the Air Elemental, and you’ll need some Bellows to contain it. You already have the FOOLER’S EARTH from Keapon, so now you just need the bellows.
USE MAP and jump to the Weapons Shop. Have you noticed the sign above his shop door? Those bellows would be ideal for dealing with the Air Elemental. ASK ABOUT BELLOWS and TELL ABOUT AIR ELEMENTAL. He‘ll give you the bellows if you beat him at arm wrestling - but you‘re not strong enough to beat him. It doesn’t matter though, since as a Wizard, you have other ways of getting the bellows. But you can’t get them yet, so leave the shop.
Now your Levitate spell has to be at least 60 to take on the Air Elemental. If you’re not quite there yet, go up into the streets and practice CAST LEVITATE for a while.
When evening arrives, return to Katta’s Tail Inn, and SIT down at the table to watch Shema dance. She’s a talented dancer. When she’s finished dancing, ORDER FOOD, and she’ll bring your supper. Tell her THANKS, then EAT the food. Now STAND up, and leave the Inn.
When it gets dark, USE MAP and jump to the Weapons Shop. Issur has closed his shop for the day, so CAST FETCH on the bellows. Now USE MAP and jump to Katta’s Tail Inn. Go to your room at the top right, and SLEEP UNTIL DAWN.
DAY 9
You sleep well at Katta’s Tail Inn, and wake up feeling refreshed. SIT down at the table, and Shema will bring you some breakfast. Tell her THANKS, then EAT your breakfast. Now STAND up, and leave the Inn.
SAVE YOUR GAME HERE. You have to defeat the Air Elemental today. Your Levitate Spell should be at least 60 at this point.
When you’re ready, USE MAP, and jump to Palace Plaza, which is on the right of the map.
Now the Palace Plaza spreads over 2 screens, and the Air Elemental goes back and forth between them. Approach the Air Elemental and CAST LEVITATE to rise above the level of the Air Elemental. Now when it is close, THROW DIRT to ground it, then lower yourself back down to the ground. Now USE BELLOWS to capture it. That's the end of the Air Elemental, and the guards return to the Plaza.
That’s 2 Elementals you’ve defeated now. You’re really building a reputation as a hero.
That’s all you have to do today. Practice CASTing spells in the street, and try to get each spell up to at least 90.
When evening arrives, SIT down at the table in Katta’s Tail Inn. Shema will bring your supper, so tell her THANKS, then EAT the food. After supper, STAND up, go to your room at top right, and SLEEP UNTIL DAWN.
DAY 10
You sleep well at Katta’s Tail Inn, and wake up feeling refreshed. SIT down at the table, and Shema will bring you some breakfast. Tell her THANKS, then EAT your breakfast. Now STAND up, and leave the Inn.
Nothing much to do today. Walk up into the streets and practice CASTing spells. Try to get each spell up to at least 90. Keep practising until evening.
When evening arrives, SIT down at the table in Katta’s Tail Inn. Shema will bring your supper, so tell her THANKS, then EAT the food. After supper, STAND up, go to your room at top right, and SLEEP UNTIL DAWN.
DAY 11
You sleep well at Katta’s Tail Inn, and wake up feeling refreshed. Shameen tells you that Omar the Poet will be performing tonight, and wishes to speak with you. Now SIT down at the table, and Shema will bring you some breakfast. This is the first time your trip to Rasier is mentioned, and Shema asks you to look up her cousin in Rasier. Tell her THANKS for the breakfast, then EAT your food. Now STAND up, and leave the Inn.
Again, nothing much to do today. Walk up into the streets and practice CASTing spells. Try to get each spell up to at least 90. Keep practicing until evening.
When evening arrives, return to Katta’s Tail Inn. Omar the Poet is here, and he thanks you for defeating the Fire Elemental and the Air Elemental. He gives you a reward of 50 DINARS. You automatically sit down at the table, as Omar recites his poem - wow, it’s an ode to you and your heroic deeds! That’s kind of him! Now remember, you still have his purse that he dropped the other day. After his poem, STAND up, walk over to him, and GIVE PURSE. Now SIT down at the table and ORDER FOOD. Shema will bring your supper, so tell her THANKS, then EAT the food. After supper, STAND up, go to your room at top right, and SLEEP UNTIL DAWN.
DAY 12
You sleep well at Katta’s Tail Inn, and wake up feeling refreshed. Shameen tells you about the Earth Elemental that is now plaguing the city. You’ll have to deal with this problem as well. Now SIT down at the table, and Shema will bring you some breakfast. Tell her THANKS, then EAT your breakfast. Now STAND up, and leave the Inn.
SAVE YOUR GAME HERE. Let’s find out more about the Earth Elemental. USE MAP, and jump to the Guild Hall. Rakeesh is here, along with Uhura. ASK ABOUT EARTH ELEMENTAL and ASK ABOUT NATURE. Tell him THANKS, then leave the Guild Hall.
USE MAP, and jump to the Apothecary, which is in the Fountain Plaza. BARGAIN MANA PILLS - 3 should do for now. ASK ABOUT EARTH, TELL ABOUT EARTH ELEMENTAL, then leave the shop.
DRINK water from the fountain, and FILL WATERSKINS. Now you have some reward money from Omar, so walk over to the food stall, and BARGAIN RATIONS - 3 will do for now.
Now walk down, so you can see the Magic Shop. From here, leave the Fountain Plaza through exit at the top.
SAVE YOUR GAME HERE. Okay, Earth Elemental beware! Walk up, and follow the path, until the Earth Elemental jumps out at you. When you see it, CAST FLAME DART repeatedly at it. But the Earth Elemental can be sneaky - it may ‘disappear’, and teleport itself somewhere else. If this happens, follow path again, or search in the north area of the city, until he re-appears. CAST FLAME DART again, and when he crumbles into a pile of rubble, you know you really have defeated him. GET EARTH to store him in your cloth bag.
Okay, you’ve defeated the Earth Elemental. Go up into the streets, and practice CASTing spells until evening. Try to get each spell to at least 90.
When evening arrives, return to Katta’s Tail Inn. SIT down at the table, and Shema will bring your supper, so tell her THANKS, then EAT the food. After supper, STAND up, go to your room at top right, and SLEEP UNTIL DAWN.
DAY 13

SAVE YOUR GAME HERE. There’s a lot to do today. USE MAP, and jump to Aziza’s house with the purple door. KNOCK DOOR, and she will let you in. Walk down the stairs to sit at the table with her. Say YES you will share some tea. Now you may have heard about a strange tree during your travels. So ASK ABOUT TREE, to learn the sad tale of Julanar the Healer. You have to help her by giving her gifts of Kindness, Magic, and Love. Tell Aziza THANKS, and then tell her BYE.
USE MAP and jump to the Apothecary. ASK ABOUT TREE. He doesn’t know much about it, so leave the shop. DRINK water from the fountain, and FILL WATERSKINS. Now USE MAP and jump to the Gate Plaza. Walk down to the Saurus Stables. When your green saurus is in sight, GET SAURUS. Now go down once, to the City Overlook, and SAVE YOUR GAME HERE. Travel right (East) many screens, until you reach the Tree Woman. DISMOUNT your saurus, and walk over to the Tree Woman. Remember, Aziza said you need to give her gifts of Kindness, Magic, and Love, which will restore her spirit. The first gift is Kindness. GIVE WATER to the tree, and TELL ABOUT SELF. She turns round to face you. The second gift is Magic. GIVE ELEMENTAL EARTH to the tree and TELL ABOUT EARTH. She sprouts leaves on her branches. The third gift is Love. HUG TREE and TELL ABOUT JULANAR. You have restored her spirit, and she will thank you by giving you the Fruit Of Compassion. Tell her THANKS. You’ve done all you can for her, so tell her BYE.
Now MOUNT SAURUS, and travel left (West) many screens (past the City Overlook) along the desert wall, until you reach the sleeping Griffin. DISMOUNT your saurus, and LOOK around, and LOOK GRIFFIN. Now walk over to the griffin, and CAST LEVITATE, so you are at the level of the griffin, then GET FEATHER.

You’re looking for the Caged Beast. Travel left (West) 5 times (one screen past the Griffin), then down (South) three times. The Caged Beast is here. DISMOUNT your saurus, and SAVE YOUR GAME HERE. Walk up to the cage and LOOK BEAST. Now GIVE WATER and GIVE FOOD to the Beast. While is distracted, walk round to back of the cage, and GET HAIR from the Beast’s tail, which you automatically mix into the Dispel Potion. Now walk back round to front of the cage, and GIVE DISPEL POTION to the Beast. The Beast transforms into… Al Scurva. He’s not exactly grateful that you dispelled him, but at least he gives you a warning about Ad Avis, his old Master. Now MOUNT your saurus and GO HOME. Head up to the Saurus Stables, DISMOUNT your saurus, then walk up into the Gates Plaza.
Walk up into the streets and practice CASTing spells for the rest of the day. Try to get each spell up to at least 90.

SAVE YOUR GAME HERE. You need to deal with this Water Elemental. FAST! Now where else would a Water Elemental be, other than in the fountain? USE MAP and jump to the Fountain Plaza. Yep, there it is, playing in the fountain. SAVE YOUR GAME HERE. Approach the fountain, but don’t get too close. Now DROP WATERSKIN onto the ground, USE BELLOWS, and then GET WATERSKIN. You’ve now defeated the Water Elemental, and the fountain returns to normal.
USE MAP and jump to left side of the Palace Plaza. The Katta have set up their stalls again, now that the Air Elemental is gone (thanks to you), and they want to show their appreciation. They give you a treasured sapphire pin, which is a very high honour in their land. Tell them THANKS.

You have to carry on to Rasier, while your saurus stays with Aziza. You automatically leave her home.
