In the Stout Mines there are carts, but how do I ride them or can i ride them?

Indeed, you NEED to ride them!

You click on them (which puts your group on the trolley) and then flip the lever for the trolley.
If that isn't working, you need to go talk to the king. I believe the keyword to get him to get the trolleys working is "HELP" (did I remember correctly, Regis??)

Help is the key word. That is what I was stuck on yesterday (Thanks Wyv...) but Help wasn't blue so I though I had already asked him for help. Go figure!

I hate when that happens! And also that so many of the words they put on the talk list cause redundant speeches. (and they aren't all that witty either!)
