Biography
After getting
rid of the Bridge Troll, Sir
Graham was free to pass the bridges he guarded, and on the other side
was an island where an old gnome lived. This gnome told Sir Graham that
he had something useful to give him, but he would only do so if he could
correctly guess his name. This was quite a challenge. His first guess would
have been Rumplestiltskin, a common gnome name, but this old gnome seemed
very clever, so Sir Graham suspected the answer wouldn't be quite that
easy. Remembering the message left on the note he found in the witch Dahlia's
house, saying "Sometimes it is wise to think backwards", he decided
to try something different. Just turning the name backwards didn't seem
clever enough, so he decided to turn the alphabet backwards instead.
It took some time to figure it out, but the answer that he came up to was
Ifnkovhgrogprm.
Amazingly, this was the correct answer. Impressed, the gnome left some
magic beans for Sir Graham and disappeared.
Note:
In the SCI version of the game, the gnome settled for the answer Nikstlitselpmur,
Rumplestiltskin spelled backwards.
