A grim iron door blocks your way. Above the door is carved:(Source: Darklands cluebook from MicroProse Software)
ALL STATEMENTS ARE TRUE.
NAME TIFSYN'S FOLK TO OPEN THE DOOR.
On the door are embossed six statements:
You ponder, then say...
- All full-blooded kobolds love to drink rust wine.
- Tifsyn is Hoondit's child.
- Hourly, Tifsyn calls out the correct time from the depths of his lair.
- Tifsyn is either a gnome, dwarf, or kobold.
- Hoondit hates rust wine.
- No gnome is ever truthful.
...Tifsyn must be a dwarf.
...Tifsyn must be a gnome.
...Tifsyn must be a kobold.
Statement #5 means, per statement #1, that Hoondit is not a kobold. Per statement #2, Tifsyn is Hoondit's child, meaning that Tifsyn can only be a gnome or dwarf. Per statement #6, no gnome is ever truthful and accordingly, per statement #3, Tifsyn cannot be a gnome. Tifsyn is a Dwarf.
