Hi,
Before reading this email, I tried the items and equipment example for the
first time. The first couple of times I got squashed, but the third time I
managed to defeat the ogre easily enough. Stay out of reach as long as possible
(make him come to you). Make sure he's in attack range of you when you cast the
fire spell so he doesn't move from that spot and gets hit with fire each round.
Use your potions! Good luck. :)
Jono

Hi Josh,
I'm including some instructions for beating the Hero and the Ogre map below.
Before you or anyone else reads them I'd like to point out that figuring out
how to beat them yourself is what makes the game challenging and interesting.
If I give you step by step instructions for every map, then what's the point in
playing?
Beware anyone who has not beaten the Hero and the Ogre map, spoilers below.
First pick up the items to your right.
Equip the bow and shoot at the ogre.
Continue staying just in range and shooting at the ogre each turn until he is
almost up to you.
You can shoot twice per turn, and movement is separate from the actions it
takes to shoot.
Just before he actually gets to where he can hit you, use the flying scroll and
fly across to the other items.
Remember that using scrolls or potions also uses an action.
Pick up the items.
Now shoot at him as you did before, staying just in range until he is almost up
to you.
Then use a scroll of fire pillar on the tile right in front of you where he
will move to in order to attack you.
With the leather vest and sword equipped you should be able to finish him off.
Last time I tried it I messed up and he got some hits on me before I flew
across the ravine, and I was still able to beat him without ever using the
sword.
He died when he walked into the fire blaze.
