Manna

In this story where the venue changes almost every turn, you play as three men of faith. As Captain Stilton, your goal is to kill heretics. As Underplonkdeaconmeister Gouda, your goal is to retrieve the Device from its hiding place in the Vault and use it. And as the Ninth Prophet, your goal is to survive in the cruel Cathratocean Desert.

This solution is by David Welbourn.

This walkthrough is provided free of charge since I wrote this walkthrough prior to January 2015 when I began my Patreon account, and also because the work it's based on has less than fifteen locations (so I wouldn't have charged for it anyway). I've since reformatted this walkthrough to use my currently preferred style. I hope you enjoy it!
