(B1-E9N10)
AS YOU ENTER, AN EERIE GLOW FILLS THE
ROOM. WITH A BRILLIANT FLASH, A
TOWERING APPARITION APPEARS BEFORE YOU
SHE SPEAKS:
"HEAR THESE, THE WORDS OF GNILDA.
THE CITY LLYLGAMN HAVING SHOWN ITS
UNWORTHINESS, I CHOSE TO RECLAIM
THE SYMBOLS OF MY FAVOR.
"ONLY HERE, IN MY TEMPLE, MAY ONE
WORTHY ENOUGH REGAIN THOSE SYMBOLS
AND RETURN.  BUT WOE TO THOSE
UNDESERVING WHO MAY TRY.
"TO OBTAIN MY STAFF, ONE MUST ACQUIRE
THE FIVE. THESE ARE THE TESTS,
AND SHALL BE THE PROOF,
     BEFORE ME PRESENTED.
"THIS IS THE WILL OF GNILDA."

THE APPARITION SLOWLY FADES.


(B1-E11N2)
"THE ARMOR YOU SEEK
    TO BRING TO THE FRAY.
 LIES FOUR STEPS AHEAD,
    BUT THREE STEPS AWAY."

(B2-E3N17)
"THREE ROADS TO FOLLOW
    ONLY ONE MAY YOU TAKE.
 CHOOSE WISELY AMONG THEM,
    LEST THE QUEST YOU FORSAKE."

(B2-E3N6)
I AM A LONELY BEING, SCARRED BY SWORDS
WOUNDED BY IRON, SATED WITH
     BATTLE-DEEDS,
WEARIED BY BLADES. OFTEN
     I WITNESS WAR,
PERILOUS FIGHT, NOR HOPE
     FOR CONSOLATION,
THAT ANY HELP MAY RESCUE ME FROM
STRIFE BEFORE I PERISH AMONG FIGHTING
MEN.  BUT HAMMERED SWORDS,
     HARD EDGED AND GRIMLY SHARP,
BATTER ME, AND THE HANDWORK
     OF THE SMITH
BITES IN THE CASTLES; I MUST EVER WAIT
A CONTEST YET MORE CRUEL.
     I COULD NEVER
IN ANY HABITATION FIND THE SORT
OF DOCTOR WHO COULD HEAL
     MY WOUNDS WITH HERBS
BUT CUTS FROM SWORDS
    EVER INCREASE ON ME
THROUGH DEADLY CONTEST,
    BOTH BY DAY AND NIGHT.

     WHAT AM I?



ANSWER ?

SHIELD

RIGHT!




(B3-E8N10)
AS YOU ENTER THE ROOM, YOU SEE
A FAMILIAR FIGURE RISE, WAVE HIS ARMS
AND SHOUT,

     "MAPIRO MAHAMA DIROMAT"

(B4-E7N13)
YOU STAND AT THE ENTRANCE OF WHAT
SEEMS TO BE A HUGE CAVERN. THE FLOOR
AND WALLS ARE COVERED WITH MOISTURE;
THE AIR IS COOL AND DANK.
FROM THE VAULTED CEILING HANG GREAT
STALACTITES, AND UNKNOWN SMALL ANIMALS
SQUEAK AND SCURRY IN THE DARKNESS.


(B5-E6N17)
BEFORE YOU IS A PILE OF SHATTERD
STONE WHICH APPEARS TO BE THE RESULT
OF A CAVE-IN.

BENEATH THE ROCKS, YOU DISCOVER
SHARDS OF BROKEN BONE AND BITS OF
SMASHED, RUSTED ARMOR.


(B6-E1N2)
LYING IN FRONT OF THE DOOR IS A BEAST 
WITH THE HEAD OF A MAN AND THE BODY OF
A LION. IN AN HYPNOTIC VOICE
IT INTONES:
"ENTER HERE, THE VERY FEW
 WHO CAN GIVE THE ANSWER TRUE
 OF THIS RIDDLE ASKED OF YOU.

 SEARCH THIS LEVEL, IF YOU DARE
 SEARCH EACH DEN AND MONSTER LAIR
 THREE CLUES HAVE I HIDDEN THERE.

 SEARCH EACH PASSAGE AND EACH ROOM
 FOR A KING WITHIN HIS TOMB
 FOR THE ANSWER WAS HIS DOOM.

 IF YOU LIVE, YOU SHOULD NOT LOSE
 FOR THE ANSWER TO THIS RUSE
 LIES CONFUSED AMONG THE CLUES.

ANSWER ?

THE KNIGHT OF DIAMONDS

RIGHT!



(B6-E1N3)
THE APPARITION REAPPEARS AND INTONEDS:

        "ONE ALONE."

(B1-E9N10)
A FIERY FACE APPEARS BEFORE YOU AND
DEMANDS, "WHAT IS THE ANSWER TO THE
RIDDLE OF THE SPHINX ?".  THE IMAGE
DISAPPEARS.  PRESS [RET]
A NOW FAMILIAR APPARITION APPEARS
AND SAYS:  "THROUGH YOUR VALOR, WIT,
