Discworld Hints
How do I get the prunes?
1 of 18: The prunes are just a snack.
2 of 18: The apprentice would probably leave them behind if a full meal were being served.
3 of 18: There's a giant gong in the dining room that appears to be used to call people to eat.
4 of 18: So ring it.
5 of 18: What you need is often used to hit musical instruments.
6 of 18: It's a drumstick.
7 of 18: Like the one that used to be hanging over the Broken Drum.
8 of 18: Back in L-space, the Drum wasn't Broken. Perhaps you can take the drumstick there.
9 of 18: Use the ladder to reach the drum.
10 of 18: But it looks like you're going to have to distract the bouncer first.
11 of 18: The people in the bar in L-space don't seem to be injured, but they are the next day.
12 of 18: Hmm ... maybe you should try starting a fight then.
13 of 18: Do you remember what it takes to get the hublanders fighting?
14 of 18: Turn over your glass, and they'll fight.
15 of 18: Or better yet, turn over someone else's glass.
16 of 18: Look at the picture behind the little guy, and he'll be distracted temporarily.
17 of 18: You can then use his glass to flip it over and start a fight. Then, the bouncer will run inside, and you can take the drumstick with the ladder.
18 of 18: Finally, just hit the gong with the drumstick, and you can take the prunes.
