Gladiator, The (Gladiator_hints.txt)

GLADIATOR

You are Gluteus, the gladiator and your task is to rescue your sweetheart, 
the slave Zulana from the emperor's dungeons before she is thrown to the 
lions for refusing Nero's advances.

Hints:

There are random elements in this game. The most prominent is the continual 
arrival of the patrol. It's necessary to go to jail once, but no more. This 
can stop if you find something by which you can "pull rank."

The veteran (randomly) drops something useful.

You need to buy two objects.

Red herrings (quite a few of them): the herring, dead rat, cards, slippers, 
vase, sword, broken chariot, guard, beggar, Agrippina, chain, whip, 
Hibernian, brooch, and jam.

Dealing with the jailer is an intriguing puzzle. He wants something to drink, 
but it's not alcoholic. Give him something to help him stay awake. Since that 
may be the last obstacle you need to get past, finding everything else there 
is to find first, gives you a good idea what he wants. But that isn't quite 
enough. Send him on a trip.

Drop objects in a central location. I used the location west of the barracks.
