Going west takes to you to a natural rock bridge. Unfortunately, when you try to cross it, you'll meet up with that blasted troll again.

Let's go north and look at that man-made bridge. Looks rather nice. Since you can't go west here, let's go east. You'll see a lake where the raging river starts. Going east again takes you to an old cabin. Finally, signs of life.

Go in and you'll meet a woodcutter and his wife. His wife is gravely ill, and her sad husband is afraid that she may die soon.

Unlike the original version, where you could fall into the hole in the floor that keeps you from getting the violin, there's no way to die in here in the VGA remake. Anyway, do not give him any treasures or the carrot. You will lose points and the item. Instead, say fill to fill up the ceramic bowl, then give the bowl to the woodcutter. He'll let you take the fiddle as thanks.

Leaving the house and going east takes you to the back of the house, where there isn't really much of anything. A further screen to the east takes you to a gloomy forest clearing. If you move around while in this gloomy forest, you may attract an ogre! If you do, get away! He'll kill you if he grabs you! Also, you may attract an evil sorcerer who will try to cast a spell on you if he gets a hold of you. A dwarf may also show up as well and steal one of your items, usually one of the three magic treasures. You lose something to the dwarf and you lose it forever.

Go south and go west. You'll come across a rock with a hole in the base. There's a feint greenish glow if you look into it, but there's not much else here.
