The Bard's Tale III
Thief of Fate
Dimensional transport codes
(c) 1988 Electronic Arts 157407
The following tables represent the code wheel for the Electronic Arts
game The Bard's Tale III.
When teleporting from the wilderness to the dimensions, you are
prompted to enter a number in response to four pieces of information.
Instructions for use:
1. Look up the city (first word) across the top of table 1A or 1B (it
will only be in one of these two tables).
2. Look down the left column for the place given next. Get the number
at the intersection of the two.
3. Find the column with that number in Table 2. The third piece of
information is a thing; find it in the left column.
4. If there is a number at that intersection you're done. If a letter
is there, make note of it and proceed to Table 3.
5. Find the column with the letter from step 4. Go down the left side
and find the fourth piece of information. At that intersection is...
Ah! a number. Finally.
NOTE: Leading zero's count -- that's why they're there.
None of the numbers are just one digit. So those must be i's and
o's.

Hints and opinions from the etexter (no spoilers):
If you haven't played Bard I or II, this game is a slow starter. You
really need to import some powerful characters to get going. Otherwise
it takes *forever* to build your party to the point where you can
teleport to the dimensions (the meat of the game).
Also if you've never played, you really need the manual *and* the
Command Summary Card. The manuals were written to be generic - for all
computers the software was ported to - and the keystroke commands are
- only* on the Command Summary Card. That's why people are looking at
these for the first time ten years later and saying "I don't get it.
My friend *raved* about this game. It sux." You'll never live long
enough to "guess" out the spells. These are essentially text
adventures. Docs are text. Got it? Good.
RTFM
DON'T let any outsiders join your party until you are told which
dimension you should first travel to. Trust me. Don't know if this
is a bug or a "feature".
