"Well done you have found all the treasures,
Filled your car with petrol and started it ready to escape!!!"

Red herrings:-
magic mushrooms, evil hobgoblin, large nettle, clove of garlic, dusty mat, 
meat hook, cloak, candle, piece of toast, old tin bath, rusty knife, 
pot of jam, bowl of soup, large ham, lock gates, knife, geese, frog spawn, 
dead body, crab, lizard, notice, boat, cup of coffee, old sock, wolf, 
old sponge, old woman, fibre-glass, bottles of spirits, glass of wine, 
pickled onion, bar of soap

Other:- The axe can be used to chop the tall tree in the dark and gloomy forest 
to create a pile of fire wood, but it is of no consequence.

Notes:- If you do accidentally stray on to the quicksand beach then "pray" will 
get you back out provided you have the crucifix, otherwise it's a restart.

Bugs:- If you "fire revolver", the werewolf in the inn will be shot dead 
regardless of which location you are in.
