This room just has me stumped. I think it is required to coax the goblin out of the arrowmaze, then light the fuse, and after the explosion, kill the goblin. The problem is that I cannot hit the second orb (two squares below the door it operates) without the goblin killing me. Does anybody have a hint?

From the situation in this picture it takes four moves to get to a situation where you are on the lowest forcearrow, and the goblin is on the uppermost forcearrow.

What are these four moves? Nothing I've tried works, and there aren't that many options.

Well, I'll be darned. I thought I tried that . . . but apparently not. Thanks !

(Of course, I'm immediately stuck, just a few moves farther on . . . back later, maybe.)

I was afraid I'd be back . . . still no way to stick in a room image, but I'm at [31,27] and the goblin is at [33,26]. No matter what happens next, the goblin gets stuck in the force arrows just to the north. How do I get through this section?

(Certainly leading the goblin through would be easier, but there's no apparent way to get through the trapdoors just to the left with the goblin trailing.)

Thanks -

The goblin should be behind you when you reach the forcearrows.

As for the arrows... Just force the goblin out on the arrows by walking forward. You can get it out of there later

I was afraid of this, since (like I noted above) I don't see any way to get the goblin ahead of Beethro. (I found for the long southbound journey from the very top Beethro could only lead.) Where and how do I re-reverse their positions?

I've attached a demo, since the "insert DROD Room image" thing still isn't avaialble.

Thanks -

I'm afraid I don't really understand, and since it sounds as if you're asking for a spoiler I will give you a demo.

Sigh! Demo doesn't work for me yet...
Still stuck on that exact place (33,24).
Goblin is ahead of me and will move into a wrong place no matter whatever move I try from here.
IF the goblin should be behind me instead...how do I get him pass
(25,27)?? Those squares will be blocked once I've passed them.
Where have I gone wrong? Ooh, my brain...! It hurts!
