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.

well I got the ogre down to 14 health and then I was defeated so far
on average I can get it down to 47 or 45 health but I ultimately end
up dying.
first I move over one square and take the bow and the scroll of
flying. then i go a few rounds and then attack once or twice with the
bow before I move two spaces right and take the healing potions, the
vest which I equip, the sword and the scroll of fire pillar. Then go 2
or 3 more rounds, hit ogre with the bow once or twice, then when I
know he's getting 3 or 4 squares away I set up the fire pillar and end
my round. and then equip the long sword. end round, ogre punches, i
lose 20 or so health. use one potion, hit once with sword, round
changes, and it goes like that until I run out of potions. during the
last round I strike two times with the sword get the ogre down to
maybe 45 health once got him down to 14 and then I end up dying or
losing. Even if I move two spaces the ogre just catches up and moving
has no effect. what am I doing wrong here? I feel I'm missing one
critical part of the strategy which is not falling into place in my
head. please give me a hint or help with what I am doing wrong. I'll
paste the log.
