---------------------------------+---------------------------
 This is on Windows 10, ScummVM 2.9.0git (recent build from master HEAD),
 with GOG version of the game.

 When entering the well in the White Leaf Dessert, Twinsen has to face the
 challenges of the temple to get the Book of Bu. The main enemy in this
 area (other than the environment hazards and traps) is the skeletons.

 In the very first scene there's a skeleton that wakes up as Twinsen walks
 toward the edge where he need to jump to the platforms above the pit with
 the spikes. This skeleton is especially bugged because he does not seem to
 cause any damage to Twinsen, but also Twinsen cannot hit him at all too;
 the skeleton however does try to dodge the magic ball as he's supposed to,
 but I tried attacking him directly in aggressive (auto) mode and still did
 no damage.

 I am attaching a saved game at the start of the temple with the waking
 invincible skeleton.

 The temple is frustrating overall with the awkward controls for the game
 and the precision jumping, moving/pushing of objects required, and it may
 be the case that the skeletons are supposed to be hard enemies to kill,
 but more often than not it seemed like Twinsen's direct (aggressive mode)
 hits would not "connect" with them which made certain sections even more
 frustrating.

 Technically one can skip / avoid/ run past most encounters with skeletons
 if they know what they're doing, but a first time player is more likely to
 fall into traps and have to take the "longer way" which at least on one
 occasion requires a very challenging fight with a skeleton that holds a
 key (while also a bird is attacking and the floor is spewing ball
 projectiles that hurt Twinsen).
