Conquests of the Longbow Trivia Quiz

Answer: Alan

Alan narrates the introduction and the ending through song. During the game he makes fun of people and annoys the other men.

Answer: Tuck

Tuck was loyal to the Church when King Richard was running things. When Prince John took over, Tuck became an enemy of the Church. He beats one of the Abbot's monks with a sword and forces him to chop wood because the Abbot and his monks do not act like an Abbot and his monks should act.

His loyalty to the Church returns when King Richard does at the end of the game, and he is the pastor for Robin Hood and Marian's wedding if you get the best ending.

Answer: Not paying taxes

The woman said that the sheriff had collected taxes three times that week and she paid them all. Robin Hood has no tolerance for this sheriff's guard arresting an innocent woman, so he shoots him. If the player tells Robin Hood to shoot him, he saves the woman's life. If the player gets too close to the man and the woman three times, the man kills the woman, and then Robin Hood shoots him.

Answer: Simon

Hal is the oldest, Hob is the 2nd oldest, and Dicken is the youngest. They will all be hanged for helping Robin Hood and his men unless Robin Hood can find a way to save them. The widow will bake pies for Robin Hood and his men if he rescues them as soon as they are captured. Robin Hood has the option of performing a task for his true love first.

Simon is a man who Robin meets at the shooting glade on the first day of the game. Simon became an outlaw, so Robin Hood gave him money and asked him to join his group.

Answer: A lady's slipper

The cobbler is working with the Lady Marian to try and rescue King Richard. In order for them to accept Robin Hood as one of them, Robin must save Marian's life from a fens monk. Marian will then give him her slipper as a reward, which he gives to Lobb, who then tells Robin everything he needs to know about the situation. Lobb passes information to Robin Hood through his men throughout the game, and Robin sees Lady Marian several more times.

If Robin Hood lets the monk kill Marian, Lobb will bash Robin Hood's head with one of his tools when Robin gives him the slipper.

Answer: Willow Grove

Robin Hood dreams of Marian dancing the Spiral Dance at the Willow Grove. He then dreams of an emerald, which he somehow gets in real life after dreaming about it. Robin meets Marian at the Willow Grove a couple of times throughout the game.

Answer: 9 Men's Morris

The rules to 9 Men's Morris are in the manual. It's not that difficult to win, even on the hardest difficulty level. However, this is the one mini-game in the game that you must play. You can make it really easy, but you cannot automatically win it by turning the difficulty level all the way down. If you win, your opponent will give you an amethyst that when you put in in your drink, you can't get drunk. You will need to engage in a drinking contest with the fat abbot and you will not be able to beat him without the amethyst.

Answer: It averts the evil eye

The meanings of the gemstones are in the manual. This is one of the most difficult pieces of copy protection to beat in this game. Designer Christy Marx was angry that her first Sierra game, "Conquests of Camelot" was pirated a lot despite all the copy protection that game had, so she made sure this game had even more copy protection. If you managed to beat this portion of the game without the manual, color me impressed.

Answer: Fulk

Fulk, King Richard's dwarf jester, was captured by the fens monks and hanged by his arms on a torture device. Robin Hood rescued him and brought back his scroll. As a reward, Fulk let him keep the scroll, which had hints for how to open the puzzle box where the ring of fire was contained. He also gave him the ring of water.

Answer: Ken Williams

The Coles, the husband and wife team that created the "Quest For Glory" games, can be seen at the entrance to the fair. One of them says that Nottingham looks like Spielburg (where the first "Quest For Glory" game takes place). The other one says that it looks like Shapeir (where the second game takes place).

Mark Crowe and Scott Murphy, the co-designers of the "Space Quest" series are seen arguing with each other.

Christy Marx, the designer of this game, is found on the screen with the cider barrel. If you talk to her, she'll give you points as a reward, then she'll take away too many points, then she'll restore your score back to what it was.

Ken Williams, the CEO of Sierra at the time this game was made, does not appear in the game. He appears in other Sierra games, such as all the "Leisure Suit Larry" games and "Space Quest 3".

Answer: Turn into a tree

Robin Hood earns the protection of the druid trees by retrieving Marian's hand scroll, which had been stolen by the fens monks, and returning it to her. She then uses the hand scroll to show Robin Hood the Druid Hand Code. She then tells Robin Hood to seek out Grandfather Oak for protection.

In order to get Grandfather Oak's help, Robin Hood must use the golden net, which he got from the widow as a reward for rescuing her sons, and capture a pixie who can speak to the tree. Grandfather Oak turns Robin Hood into a partial tree, where he can't move anything but his hands, and gives Robin Hood some riddles which he must answer with the hand code. If he answers the riddles correctly, Grandfather Oak will restore Robin Hood to his human form, but offer him the protection of the Druid trees whenever he needs it, as long as he goes to a grove and uses the hand code to spell out the druid name of the trees in the grove. If Robin Hood answers the riddles incorrectly, Grandfather Oak will turn him into a tree forever and the game ends.

This also happens if Robin Hood shoot Grandfather Oak. This is one of the few deaths in the game where you don't see Robin Hood's men talking about what he should or shouldn't have done right before the Restore box pops up. This is probably both because it's obvious what you did wrong and because the men have no way of knowing what happened to Robin Hood. There is no way anybody would notice an extra tree in the forest and know that it was really Robin Hood.

Answer: John

If you follow John's plan correctly, you will rescue Lady Marian and all of your men will survive. The other plans will work too, and the game moves more quickly if you choose one of them because it skips the part where you have to get in the church through the secret entrance and get through the maze quickly. However, you lose men and you don't get the max points if you choose one of the other plans.

If you are not wearing the ring of fire or you did not open the puzzle box before talking with your men, all of their plans will fail. Apparently Robin Hood does not know how to put out a fire, so he needs a special ring to protect himself from it.

Answer: Tuck

If you have enough men, all of the plans will work except Much's plan. However, you will lose some men in this battle unless you choose Tuck's plan. If you follow Tuck's plan, you will get all the treasure and all your men will be alive, and you will get the most possible points out of this.

If you lost a lot of men by choosing the wrong plan to save Marian, all of the plans for raiding the treasure will fail except Tuck's plan.

Answer: The souls of people who drowned in the fens

Robin Hood will need the help of the Will-o'-the-Wisps on day 13, the last day of the game. He will need to find a secret entrance to the monastery. He finds it with the help of the "Will-o'-the-Wisps, whom Robin Hood can talk to if he wears the Ring of Water he got from Fulk.

You learn who the Will-o'-the-Wisps are if you look at them. You also learn who they are if you die at the swamp, because then Robin Hood's men will tell you that the monks pushed him in the fens and he became a will-o-the-wisp.

Answer: Outside the pub

In the remake of "Space Quest 1," Roger gets off the Arcada, which is about to explode, and into an escape pod. The escape pod has three buttons, one of which is the power button, one of which takes him to the nearest planet, and one of which says "Do Not Press." If he presses the "Do Not Press" button, he crashes just outside the pub in Nottingham.

In the original "Space Quest 1" he crashes into the moat in Daventry.
