Companions of Xanth Hints
How do I get past this dog?
1 of 14: Have you read its description carefully?
2 of 14: It's a hot dog.
3 of 14: Remember that Xanth is a punny place.
4 of 14: So it's as much a dog that is hot as it is a hot dog that you eat.
5 of 14: I'm sure that no hot dog wants to be eaten.
6 of 14: If you threaten it, you can probably get it to leave you alone.
7 of 14: Few people eat their hot dogs plain.
8 of 14: For one, it helps to have a bun for them.
9 of 14: Other than pieces of bread, can you think of any other types of buns?
10 of 14: Like a hair bun?
11 of 14: Talk to Nada, and eventually, get her to put her hair into a bun.
12 of 14: Now all you need is a condiment to go along with the bun.
13 of 14: There's some in your fridge in Mundane (just ask Nada for a break if you forgot to bring it with you).
14 of 14: Put the mustard onto the bun, and the hot dog will vanish.
