Gilbert Goodmate and the Mushroom of Phungoria Hints
How can I deal with the bridge guard?
1 of 16: Talk with the guard and after a while he will tell Gilbert how much he likes girls ...
2 of 16: ... in particular that he is interested in Sarah, the waitress working in the tavern.
3 of 16: Go back to the tavern.
4 of 16: Pick up the napkin with lipstick on it from the floor. Sarah used this to blot her lips -- there is a conspicuous and alluring lipstick imprint of her lips on this napkin!
5 of 16: Walk to the prison/wagon/stage/Arver location, and look around.
6 of 16: Pick up the book of poems lying on the steps of Dr. Fraud's wagon.
7 of 16: Perhaps you can write one of these mushy love poems onto the sexy napkin?
8 of 16: Go ahead; write! Have you got anything to write with?
9 of 16: Go to Elton's place, knock on the door (or use the "doorbell speakerphone intercom thing") and enter.
10 of 16: Pick up the feather pen.
11 of 16: But the pen won't write. It's empty.
12 of 16: Fill the empty feather pen with ink from the ink well. You can also take the ink well either now or later -- you'll need it eventually!
13 of 16: Now Gilbert can use the (inked) feather pen on the napkin with lipstick on it and copy one of the love poems found in the book of poems.
14 of 16: You have now manufactured a perfect (bogus) love letter from Sarah to give to the lonely bridge guard.
15 of 16: Give the love letter to the bridge guard and he will very quickly abandon his post!
16 of 16: Raise the barrier gate at the bridge. You can now cross!
