Gilbert Goodmate and the Mushroom of Phungoria Hints
What can I do about Lipton and his tea?
1 of 11: On the map, go to the bridge, and click on the mushroom pointer just under it (near the bottom left corner of your monitor screen).
2 of 11: Open the door and enter Lipton's house.
3 of 11: Look around and take the VIP card from the table.
4 of 11: But Lipton won't let you have it.
5 of 11: You can talk to Lipton for ages; his only subject seems to be ... tea!
6 of 11: Sooner or later the topic of the VIP card will come up.
7 of 11: Apparently it enables Lipton to phone Vandersteen and call him over to perform (almost daily) repairs on the ancient bridge over his house.
8 of 11: If you can somehow get that VIP card, maybe the blacksmith will leave his smithy.
9 of 11: NOTE: It's preferable not to perform the following steps earlier than necessary. Although this is not absolutely essential, it may save you unnecessary hassle later on. There are additional notes on this in the appropriate places.
10 of 11: Take the VIP card and phone Vandersteen. Notice that by now the "vandalized" telephone cable has been repaired!
11 of 11: Leave Lipton's before Vandersteen gets there.
