A://  INTRODUCTION
     Labyrinth is a basic dungeon style RPG.  It's system is
mainly random, and poses a great challenge of patience
and decision making for the player.  True, sometimes the
game is easy, sometimes it is hard; but I assure you that 
every time you play, a new challenge will be at hand...
Are you ready for the Labyrinth?
(NOTE:  Saving and Loading in the Labyrinth is tricky.
When you quit, your game will be saved, but to prevent
cheating, when you load your game, you must move to
a new room before you can quit again.  If you start a new
game, and quit it properly, it will erase your old one.
*Only one save file at a time*)

B://  STATS
     Before you decide to do anything, anything at all, you 
must consider how your stats will be effected.  Your stats 
are:
Food:  How much food is in your stomach, if it runs out,
            you will begin losing health.  You can replenish this
            stat by eating certain things (meat is the most 
            common food and can be cooked in the Labyrinth
            by ovens scattered in this maze.)
Strength:  How much energy you have left.  This stat is 
                   very important.  It determines how well you
                   dodge and counter-attack in battle.  It also 
                   helps you explore the Labyrinth.  If you run out
                   of strength, your journey into the Labyrinth is
                   over.  You can replenish this stat by either using
                    "Rest" or by waiting in one room until you
                   earn a little back.
Health:  Your most important stat.  It determines how many
               hits you can take before death.  It can be lost in
               battle or by certain items.  You can replenish this 
               stat with a rare potion.

C//:  SICKNESS
     The Labyrinth is unsafe on a microscopic level too.  A
few bad sicknesses are waiting to make your "visit" more
difficult.  Most sickness can be avoided, but some will
haunt you even if you're careful.
Stomach Sickness:  There are two forms of stomach
	                sickness.  One is more powerful than
                                   the other, but both can be gotten by
                                   eating raw meat.  The weaker can also
                                   be gotten by the spray of a Bug.  To
	                get rid of it, you can simply wait it out,
	                or eat the rare leaf of healing.
Tapeworms:  Tapeworms can really hinder your progress.
                        They can only be gotten by eating raw meat,
                        and they leave a nasty sting.  The only way
                        to get rid of them is to throw them up, or eat
                        the rare leaf of healing. 

D//:  EXPLORING
     Moving around the Labyrinth has its price.  For every
move you will lose one of your strength.  You will lose 
more than this if your being affected by a sickness.  
Since rooms are random, it sometimes appears that you 
are moving in circles, however, the Labyrinth is not 
located on a flat plane.  Rather, the elevation is constantly 
changing, so you could be above or below the room 
you think your in.  You cannot move backwards due to 
the walls that seal you into the room you move into.

E//:  ENEMIES/WEAPONS
    Not only will sickness and hunger hinder you, monsters
also await you in the Labyrinth.  Everything's got to eat 
right?  The monsters aren't aggressive at first.  They only
attack after you attack them.  This allows you to 
choose a new weapon when fighting the monster.  
Monsters stop you from moving to a new room.  You have
to defeat the monster before moving on.  Defeating a 
monster rewards you with some useful items.  
Some of the common weapons are below:
Dagger:  Good weapon.  Takes a bit of strength to use, but
                does excellent damage.
Rib:  This weapon works well for counter-attacks, but only
         if you have enough strength.
Tooth:  This weapon uses almost no strength, and stuns
              your enemy into not attacking you back.  It does
              very good damage and is very valuable.
Brick:  Takes a lot of strength, but does a great amount
            of damage as well.  It can make your enemy 
            disoriented enough to mess up its attacks as well.

F//:  RIDDLES
     Sometimes, during the game, you will find yourself in a
room with only one exit, and said exit will be sealed with
a riddle slab.  These are somewhat common in the 
Labyrinth.  The only way to pass a riddle slab is to solve
the riddle inscribed on it.  You have to type the answer
into the slab, and if your answer contains the real answer,
the slab will give way, letting you pass!!!  This is yet 
another obstacle you will face when braving the
Labyrinth!!!

G//:  WINNING
     To win, you must not only overcome the monsters, 
     sickness, hunger, and exhaustion; but must also do  
     these things.
     1:  Collect at least three keys from dead enemies.
     2:  Find and unlock at least three tresure chests (which
          will sometimes contain golden keys.)
     3:  After collecting all three golden keys, use them on
          the three locks of the exit.
          (NOTE:  Golden Keys aren't as rare as you may
          think, there are a few other ways to obtain them)

H//:  EXTRA

Extra:  Some extra inventory items can be found, if only
           you use them on each other in the right fasion.
