EI S10, S11, S12: Dacyn difficulty tweaks (#8976)

Browse source 
Resolves #8969

In EI S10, Dacyn picks up a cursed amulet and his HP drops to 1. In EI S11, Dacyn remains on very low HP, and is surrounded by orcs. There's a convenient ford hex he can hide on and be protected, but several players did not notice this hex and complained about difficulty.

In S10, this commit also drops his XP to 0. 1) showing that the amulet interferes with his MoL-ing, and 2) preventing the player from deliberately AMLA-ing Dacyn in the next scenario (partially a difficulty issue, but mostly it's bad to punish blind playthroughs / reward foreknowledge).

In S11, this commit adds a gold pile on Easy/Normal hinting towards the hex, while on Easy Dacyn's HP is fully restored. Hard is unaffected.

In S12, this commit restores Dacyn's HP on Easy (since it would be odd if he had full HP S11 but low HP S12).
