new data.base entries

Browse Source 
Add the caveman, healer, and monk data.base entries supplied by
<Someone>, plus the healer one from <Someone>'s list of outstanding bugs and
requests.  Every role now has its own entry.  I left "dwarven caveman"
and "gnomish caveman" pointing at the generic dwarf and gnome entries
respectively, because the caveman quote feels to me to be more human-
specific than the earlier role ones have been.

     I added blank lines to the monk quote to break it into paragraphs,
and made two minor tweaks to the text.  I hope we can find or invent a
separate entry for Master Kaen though.  Getting a quote that refers to
Buddhism for him seems wrong to me, but leaving the generic human one
now that there's a monk-specific one didn't feel right either.

     I've moved a few quest guardians around this time.  Deciding which
of them should yield the corresponding role entries and which shouldn't
involves judgement calls and I don't claim that the current situation
is now perfect.

Now it was light enough to leave. Moon-Watcher picked up
the shriveled corpse and dragged it after him as he bent
under the low overhang of the cave. Once outside, he
threw the body over his shoulder and stood upright - the
only animal in all this world able to do so.
Among his kind, Moon-Watcher was almost a giant. He was
nearly five feet high, and though badly undernourished
weighed over a hundred pounds. His hairy, muscular body
was halfway between ape and man, but his head was already
much nearer to man than ape. The forehead was low, and
there were ridges over the eye sockets, yet he unmistakably
held in his genes the promise of humanity.

One day, an army general invited the Buddhist monk I-Hsiu
(literally, "One Rest") to his military head office for a
dinner. I-Hsiu was not accustomed to wearing luxurious
clothings and so he just put on an old ordinary casual
robe to go to the military base. To him, "form is void".
As he approached the base, two soldiers appeared before him
and shouted, "Where does this beggar came from? Identify
yourself! You do not have permission to be around here!"
"My name is I-Hsiu Dharma Master. I am invited by your
general for a supper."
The two soldiers examined the monk closely and said, "You
liar. How come my general invites such a shabby monk to
dinner? He invites the very solemn venerable I-Hsiu to our
base for a great ceremony today, not you. Now, get out!"
I-Hsiu was unable to convince the soldiers that he was
indeed the invited guest, so he returned to the temple
and changed to a very formal solemn ceremonial robe for
the dinner. And as he returned to the military base, the
soldiers observed that he was such a great Buddhist monk,
let him in with honour.
At the dinner, I-Hsiu sat in front of the table full of
food but, instead of putting the food into his month, he
picked up the food with his chopsticks and put it into
his sleeves. The general was curious, and whispered to
him, "This is very embarrassing. Do you want to take
some food back to the temple? I will order the cook to
prepare some take out orders for you." "No" replied the
monk. "When I came here, I was not allowed into the
base by your soldiers until I wear this ceremonial robe.
You do not invite me for a dinner. You invite my robe.
Therefore, my robe is eating the food, not me."
