Hints and Tips:
---------------

Temple - You can only save your game in the temple in the beginning.
When you have reach the holy pagoda, you can find a device
that let you save the game anywhere you like.

Healing - Don't waste your spell points casting healing spells when
you are near any town. Just save your game in the temple
when your hit points is low. After that go out to get
killed (shouldn't be difficult). The game will be restored 
when you get killed. Upon restoring the game, you will be 
given FULL hit points. This is useful when you are low in
cash and level. Note that poison is not removed when you
restore the game, but there is no need to cast spell to
remove it because the enemies will poison you again and again.

Option - The following action will be executed randomly:
--------------------------------------------------------
1. Stand still doing nothing.
2. Attack three times.
3. Restore hit points.
4. Lose half your hit points.
5. Execute a special attack with an attack power of 3000.
6. Half your attack power.
7. Execute an attack with double your current attack power.

Walk around to get familiar with the place. Talk to the fortune
teller. She will tell you what to do. Go to the gate and talk to
any guard over there. He will send you to prison. Once inside,
search the room to get a little saw. Use it to get out of the
room. Use the saw to release the lizard man and ask him to join
you. Talk to those guards at the door. Frighten them to get out 
of the jail. Walk to weapon shop (the one with a sword symbol, 
like a cross) go inside and search for a cloak. Use the cloak to 
cover the lizard man. Talk to the guarding the manor a few times,
they will get angry and attack you. Kill them and go inside the
manor. The lizard man, Su Er, will break open any locked door 
when you investigate. Search the place for treasure. Search the
book shelves to open a secret passage. Enter the passage to get
