Hints only; I'm taking care not to spoil the story!

























Collect all pieces of the Statue of Legion, if you can ... if you miss one, 
don't backtrack too far for it, though.  The map can be completed in as little as
four weeks ... but you only have six weeks available!  The Statue of Legion is optional.

The peasant you start with, representing Thomas himself, can in fact be dismissed once 
other creatures join the hero.  This may give you a little more precious movement.

The six puzzles vary in difficulty.  Solutions are available in 'Thomas_spoiler.TXT'
