Summary	0010176: Arlene suddenly anxious to give you the key.
Description	While checking something regarding text, I realized a problem with the way Arlene's key-granting script is set up. Case 1, Works as intended: If you talk to Willis in the small house beyond the bridge, then when you later talk to Arlene, she will speak the text assigned to her and then will realize who you are and give you the key. Case 2, Works prematurely: If you talk to Arlene first, she will speak the text assigned to her but not realize who you are. If you return after talking to Willis, the event where she realizes who you are occurs the moment you set foot on her sub-level. This is odd because she's talking to you when you enter the screen -- you're not even in her house yet! I just realized that I can resolve this myself by adding an extra condition to require the player to be standing on the tile in front of her. Consider this fixed! I'll close the issue after I've created it, since I went to the trouble of writing all this. :)
