The Travels of Fitzwilliam Pound is a Z-machine interactive fiction game written with Inform 6 and is © 2002 by C. Canby Wilson. It was a participant in the Speed-IF Crinkle-Cut event.
In this small game, you play as the adventurer called Fitzwilliam Pound. Your quest is to travel the globe to rid yourself of a cursed marble.
This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on Release 1 of the game.

*** You have won ***
This walkthrough skips visiting Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and the South Pole, but you're not really missing that much, honestly.
I note that although you can take the pole at the North Pole, the pole disappears and does not go into your inventory.
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!
I'm still creating new walkthroughs! Larger ones too! Please visit my Patreon account if you're interested in helping me create more interactive fiction walkthroughs. I appreciate all the help I can get! Thanks again.
