Beginning at Tantallon's crossroads proceed thusly:
23n, 5w, north to the sw corner of Burnham Woods (look for the messenger and guard but
dont rely on them), 7e, 6n, break branch, get branch, enter castle, w, search, open the
door you find, s, u, search, move block, 2u, kill the wizard (careful: he's tough), back
to ground floor in tower, n, e, n, say 'help king', n, n, give crown to king, s, e, say
'help king', u, u, s, s, w, w, search, get bedwarmer, pull rope (cord?), give bedwarmer to
