> Thanks for the hint, Matsi. I've managed to take care of the dwarf, acquire some onions, kill the Flat Cat, go to the Island and retrieve a fishing net, a coconut, a blue rubber ball, and 1 more gold coin which I gave to the soothsayer. I have gone into the Enchanted Forest and encountered the Vampiress. I've since had to retreat. The soothsayer was telling me about the mermaid. I intend to find her what she needs according to some of the hints I've read from other messages posted.

The mermaid needs two things. List your inventory each time you ask for a clue. In the SE part of garden you might find one thing for the mermaid. The other thing should have been in the garage near the dwarfs farmhouse. Right now you need something from the mermaid!!!!
