----------------------------------------
This is a minimal solution to a very hard game. You'll need to EXAMINE lots of things for this
solution to make sense. Try HINT if you get stuck, but the hints are minimal. You will need to
repeat the same commands when the game state changes, so EXAMINE things repeatedly and TALK to
characters repeatedly, even when the game state hasn't changed.

This game is a sequel to 'The Cave of Hoarding'. When it starts, it goes through an
incredibly long intro that can't be skipped. Midway through this, it asks a question regarding
the outcome of  'The Cave of Hoarding'. Regardless of whether or not you saved Mandy in
that game, enter 2, as this allows you to get an extra point later in the game.

The scoring is really weird. You not only get points as a reward for doing something correct, but
you also get points for doing something obscure. More importantly, there are some things that you
get points for, but you get more points if you DON'T do it. These are awarded at the end of the
game. You can find some hints on the scoring at https://itch.io/jam/next-adventure-jam/rate/686396.

Scores are shown in parentheses as +A=B, where A is points earned and B is cumulative points
earned.

Some optional (but significant) commands are shown in parentheses. These can be omitted once you
know what to do.
