 Despair not!

 Here's some hints and the complete solution from the interactive fiction

the game (har, har)...

HINTS
=====

Type 29586 to get out of the burrow.

Say LUX to trolls.

In part two type DELTA 4 for an amusing response.

After examining the torch, insert the batter in the sword for light. To
get out of the goblin's dungeon, throw the rope and when it catches on
the window, pull it.

Escape from goblin's dungeon - the ring is SE N SE E SE E.

To kill dragon, shoot him in the tail.

To escape dungeon, dif the sandy floor, smash trapdoor, take torch and
examine it, then insert betteries in sword, throw rope at the window,
keep doing so until it grips, then pull rope to get out of the window.
