Comment:

 This is a script bug in the original game. It's unrelated to fan patches
 or the many other bugs in this room. (room 800)

 To work around it, turn up the game speed when throwing.

 This happens when the game speed slider is set too low when throwing at
 the tree. If hero is still animating when the message plays, then the
 throw animation is interrupted and hero is left in a broken state. Walking
 then crashes. The closer hero is to the tree, the less time he has to
 complete the animation. Turning up the speed lets the animation complete
 in time.

 This is similar to the projectile bugs in the last room. I remember those
 being hard to fix and requiring a lot of scratch paper.

 Setting to normal as this is yet another QFG4 script bug that occurs in
 the original.
