Tendry's Tale hold:

• Opened Pirate Lair convenience shortcut (to avoid having to traverse multiple levels to get to the other side of a yellow door you don't have to open).
• Goblin Tribe: Repeat inventory notification every time player steps on the Short Sword tile, so players don't miss it when they need it.

• Player death animations for falling into pit and drowning.
• New sound effects for destroying briar and thunder.
• Migrated "Secret room" sound. (When manually patching, you'll need to delete your drod.ini to enable the new sound effect.)

• Script fix: don't abort Build commands when encountering a platform tile that cannot be altered.
• Global script fixes: script execution flow was incorrect for Each Use and Question commands.
• On exiting a level via stairs: now nice to the CPU; now the game won't wait for user input to advance to the next screen once the animation has completed.

• Sprite layering during death animation.
• Multi-line text box: text display selection by pressing Ctrl-A.
• Now pressing Esc during a Yes/No question will undo the last move.
