You need to use the kris knife, which is hidden behind the big boulder near the beginning. Use the Trinitour to move this boulder.

Dear FFP team there is something that has been puzzling me about riders of the storm is there some where else that you can use the trinator because you have to use to use it three times so why have the option of using it four times? Is this to allow error or is there somewhere else where you can use th trinator?
???
P.S Just out of interest where do you find the wish ring?
P.P.S Also I loved House of horror its fairly short but amazing I particulaly loved the stringamano bit but mustadmit outsider still my favorite.
P.P.P.S Any chance off any more books? Any whatsoever... PLEASE!!!

You need either a rope or some ear-plugs, or both if you can find them.

Hey guys:
Several of you'ver heard of me, but here I am with a question on Riders of the Storm. After fighting the Triniter, I walk on, only to be swallowed by something which says I'm damned. What does this mean? How do I avoid or destroy the shadow steeler?

"On Riders of the Storm. After fighting the Triniter, I walk on, only to be swallowed by something which says I'm damned. What does this mean? How do I avoid or destroy the shadow steeler?"
SPOILER
You must find and use either the torch (for a tough fight with him) or the fire sword (for an easier fight). It must be said that the fire sword is harder to find though.

After you meet the Dice Creature for the second time, go west. The text will tell you that there is a massive boulder in the area. You need Trinitour to move the boulder.

Tried Riders of the Storm but wasn't impressed. I found the story and the execution to be quite sloppy with too many "sudden death" entries. A player should be killed for making a silly decision - not for simply taking a wrong turn. To my mind that is lazy writing. I read the self-interview that Sadler conducted and it's obvious he burnt out after the excellent Hellfire. ROTS is just too much of a yawn for me to finish. A shame, but then not every story can be a winner.

Hello.
I'm playing 'Riders of the Storm' at the moment, and am stuck at the Earth Elemental. I've mapped out the island to that point and made sure I've collected every possible object, but nothing works. What am I missing?!?!?!?!?!?
Phil Sadler Thu Jan 18 18:39:27 2007
Earth Elemental:
SPOILER
Right at the start you meet a Blood Zombie. Instead of fighting it call the Trinitour to help you up the tall tree that's mentioned in the text. Much later on you must fight the Fiend from the Pit and and then (at the very next reference) you will notice that there is mention of a "chasm." Get the Trinitour to throw you over this chasm. Do both of these things and toy will get the items you need.
END SPOILER
Hope that helps

Hey Andy sorry to be a pain but I have just noticed something about Riders of the Storm that I never have before simply because it's been so long since I've looked at the original text version.
It's the fact that you no longer get the choice to carry one of the usual Skill, Stamina or Luck potions. In your online version they are now just part of the random things you are given at the start and I think that this makes the adventure much too difficult. Would it be possible to make it so that the reader has the choice of which of them to carry, instead of making them part of the random process?
Thanks
It's a while ago now, but I think that what happened is that some of the random items were impossible to implement, so I replaced them with the potions. I'll look into this.
Phil Sadler Fri Jun 22 21:40:20 2007
Hey Andy.
I have just tested Riders and the health potions don't seem to heal you anymore!
