Dilandau3000 plays King's Quest III: To Heir Is Human - Part 18 of 19

Finally! We're almost there! Now we have to find that dragon and complete our royal destiny!

You really want to be careful in this rock wall screen, as it is extremely easy to fall to your death. Also, if you don't know which cave leads where, you'll have a hard time keeping track of Gwydion/Alexander. Save often. Seriously, it really helps.

Anyway, enter the cave in the upper-left. You'll come out of the upper-right cave. Be prepared to stop Gwydion/Alexander. From there, carefully scale the rock wall to the left. (If any part of your body leaves the rock wall before you completely make your way down, you're screwed.) Make your way to the lower-left but don't enter the cave there. Save your game, then scale the rock wall again and enter the ave in the center. You'll finally end up in the lower-right corner of the screen. Go right and you'll be able to continue.

When you make it all the way to the other side of the mountain path, you're in Daventry! Hooray! Unfortunately, the place is really in ruins. And by "in ruins," it's severely messed up. There's only five screens now (I don't even want to know what happened to the rest of them), the cave is destroyed, the well is covered with rocks, and even the castle itself is in a state of disrepair, as there's no moat and the shrubbery and grounds are unkempt.

You'll see a home as you make your way towards the castle, with a gnome sitting in the rocking chair. He tells you your real name, and he apparently has both been waiting for you and knew precisely who you were and what you were here for. Strange. When you make it to the castle, the doors are locked (as Graham and Valanice are so grieved they locked themselves away and refuse to see anyone), the moat is drained, the grounds are unkempt and the banners of the walls are torn.

Head back to the destroyed cave entrance. Turns out, you can still enter it and go up a flight of stairs to enter the Sky Land. Use the 7 and 9 keys on the number pad so you don't accidentally fall down the side of the stairs.

Once you make it to the top, two screens west takes you to that dreaded dragon! He'll instantly see you, and he'll kill you. Next time, we actually do something.
