Companions of Xanth Hints
What's the basic goal?
1 of 10: You must have talked to the fireman by now.
2 of 10: There are additional references to Mack in the barrow, back in the Region of Earth. Or at least one important reference.
3 of 10: Did you see the plaque?
4 of 10: And did you touch it?
5 of 10: Then you must have seen/felt Mack's name on it. You should try getting a more complete picture of what's on the plaque.
6 of 10: It might help to make a copy of the plaque.
7 of 10: The plaque is obviously in relief.
8 of 10: So rubbing a pencil or equivalent over it will help.
9 of 10: To start, take the brown paper that your game came in, unwrinkle it, and then put it on top of the plaque.
10 of 10: Then rub the charcoal on the paper, and you can read what's on the plaque.
