Supra-structural issues addressed, along with aesthetic improvements to the Tavern mini game.

- Improved story context surrounding desert scene
- Adjusted route scripting at the Island reliquary (on attempted quit), removing graceful default resolution
- Corrected video-audio initialization from false mute point (potential cause for partial initial inaudible dialogue)
- Removed duplicate mini game exit button on some mini-games
- Improved cross-faded ambience,
- Tavern Dice Duel logic reformatting for random round lead ordering with associated banter
- Tavern Dice Duel UI general improvements to player dice aesthetic (removed perpetual wavering)


These changes are minor in detail but improve the story-flow, with smooth scene setting script adjustment and keeping the mini-game structure integral in a late game puzzle.

Improving game-quality experience, this patch adjusts and fixes;

- a small typographical error
- a .wav conflict
- a path routing bug on death in the woodlands requiring a game restart upon dying.

4.0.1 is a minor patch which doesn't impact the scope and direction of the game, only correcting the few minor issues prevailing on release.
