This is a sort of "blanket reply" to Darius and Kathleen's postings, from
memory.

Merlyn's Hat is not a hat. It's yellow (and green 8-).

As far as I know there is no "general way to teleport".  There is however
an object which starts off as something very ordinary and gets transformed
with the help of Merlyn's yellow non-hat into an object which will help you
RETURN to the attic from anywhere else.

There are other similar objects which do different things.

The flash needs a timer as well as a battery.

The mouse can't hear you when it's in the hole, but something else can!

Sounds like Darius has found the proper battery.  Just out of interest, I
threw the torch down the chimney and followed it rather than putting it in the
sack.

Well, I think that's enough for now.  Primary importance is to get that daisy
chain of the right colour, then find out how it works to "transform" certain
everyday objects and get that method of returning.
