Note: The Warden of Crobe will randomly appear in any location of
this game. Just ignore him, unless you wish to give him Treasures,
or other objects which you want him to look after. Don't be too
keen to give him all your Treasures, as he won't return them to
you, and they may be needed to solve a puzzle in the game.
