All directions are from monument square (s, e, s of here).
Do read the faq, there is a lot of good info there. There is also on-
line help available, type <help topics> and <help commands> for lists of
what help is available. Ask questions if you need more info - ask other
players or ask on the newbie line or the cleric line.
Type <wimpy on>. This will cause you to automatically flee from combat
if your hps are getting low. It doesnt guarantee that you wont die,
but it improves your chances of survival. Also type <body> periodically to see body damage while in battle - loss of a limb when hp are low can be deadly.

Health points, stamina points and magic points can be renewed several
ways. Mend, heal and cure renew hp. Boost renews sp. All three go up
if you eat or drink. Lars pub is s, w... Ale is (relatively) cheap and
you can sell the bottles. There is a restaurant 2n, 2e, s. Fish can
also be had for free. There is a fishing pole 3e, 3n, 4e, ne, 2e, d.
You can fish at that spot, or on the docks, 3s, sw, s.
Equipment can be bought and sold at the shops. Horace (treasure goods,
keys, bottles, etc.) is 2e, n. Shakima (treasure goods) is 7w, nw, 2w, 8n, e. Bertha (weapons) is 5e 2ne 5e 8se 2e n. Bohemindral (weapons) is 7w, nw, 2w, 9n, e Emma (weapons) is 4n, 2e, ne, 2n, 2nw. Kant (armour) is 5n, nw, w, nw, 3n, 3w, 2n, w, n. Aethelfrith (armour) is 5n, nw, w, nw, n, 3e, n, e, 7n, w, nw, w. Type list to see what they have available to sell, but dont believe the prices. Type <cost <item>> for the real price. EQUIPMENT IS NOT SAVED WHEN YOU QUIT, so go to a shop and sell all before you leave. Money is saved, or you can deposit it in the bank (2s, w, n).
Clerics main fighting skills are blunt and knife. Rumor has it that max knife is 4.5 * level, and max blunt is 3.5 * level, but Ive never come close to maxing them, so Im not sure about these numbers.
Our strongest magic is in healing (mend, boost, cure, etc), faith (dispell, turn, peace, etc), and magic defense (shield, buffer). Type <help spells> or <help <spellname>> for more info.
If anyone has anything they want me to add, or sees any errors, please
mail me (post office is 2s, w, s)... thanks!

1. Strengthen paralyze and rot.
2. Fix cure so it works on limbs as well as hp.
3. New spells:
bless <armour or weapon> to temporarily increase AC or WC.
slow <monster> to decrease the number of hits/round a monster
gets... sort of a lesser paralyze, that would slow the
monster instead of completely freezing it.
resurrect <player> to allow clerics to resurrect dead players,
preferably for a small reduction in losses for <player> and
good xp for the cleric.
4. A no reset room in the cleric hall where armor and weapons could be
dropped for other clerics.
5. A newbie sign-in book, that would give newbie clerics some cash out
of the donation box. The newbies should have to be above level one to
sign in, so people don't start a cleric character just to get the cash,
then suicide. Obviously, they are only allowed to sign in once.
6. Give xp for damage done to monsters through spells, just like xp is
give for damage done with a weapon.
7. GIve xp for monsters killed with turn spell.
