Tasks \ for the slave to perform must be directed to the slave with the SAY command, \ and must begin with the words "I command you to" or "I order you to". The \ slave will then wander around as in a GEAS trying to perform the task. The \ slave can be released from the task by saying "cancel" to them. Slaves are \ different from pets in that they require food and drink to survive. If given \ the food and water, they will eat and drink as necessary from what they have \ been given. Slaves eventually lose loyalty as well. If they starve, or if \ they take damage for any reason, their loyalty will decrease, making them \ more and more likely to leave their masters homes, or attack their masters. SLAVE=A slave is an intelligent mob broken down and sold to a liege master. \ Once enslaved, a mob can be sold to slave traders with the Slave Trading skill, \ brought to the players \ clan homes or personal homes to remain as permanent residents, ORDERed as \ vassals of the owner, and, of course, command them to perform tasks.

SKILL_FLEE=<ABILITY>\ Usage : FLEE ([DIRECTION])\n\r\ Example : flee\n\r\ While in combat, your character may need to quickly disengage and flee \ the room. A direction may be specified, but if one is not specified, \ a direction will be chosen for you. Fleeing from combat can cause \ you to lose experience points in many cases, so use this command \ sparingly. If all of your opponents are asleep, paralyzed, or bound, \ however, no loss is recorded for using this command. FRAME_MARK=<ABILITY>\ Usage : FRAME\n\r\ Example : frame\n\r\ This awesome skill allows the thief to effectively place the \ blame for a crime the thief might have committed in the \ current area on their mark.

HIDE=<ABILITY>\ Usage : HIDE \n\r\ Example : hide\n\r\ The thief attempts to creep into some shadowy corner \ and remain perfectly still. Doing this makes them invisible \ to any other creatures in the room.

Almost any quiet \ movement, such as getting or dropping items, wearing or removing items, \ or manipulating inventory, \ will be totally unnoticable by other players.

Until this skill is disengaged, he will remember \ those parts of the papers of those he Marks that the marks \ themselves read, regardless of where they are in the world. \n\r\ \n\r\ This skill is identical to SPYING, but does not require that \ the thief and the one spyed on be in the same room, and it \ only works on those the thief has MARKed. The skill \ automatically transfers from Mark to Mark indefinitely, or \ until disengaged. SPYING=<ABILITY>\ Usage : SPYING [TARGET] \n\r\ Example : spy bob\n\r\ The thief, by lip reading and discrete over-the-shoulder glaces, is able \ to read anything the target reads while they are both in the same room. \ The thief must remain unnoticed by the target. Otherwise, this skill \ lasts indefinitely once the thief has figured out how to spy on the target. \ The level of player the thief can spy on depends on part on stealth expertise. EVESDROP=<ABILITY>\ Usage : EVESDROP [TARGET] \n\r\ Example : evesdrop bob\n\r\ The thief atunes his hearing so well that he can hear TELL messages to the \ target, so long as he remains in the same room as the target and remains \ unnoticed by the target. The level of the player the thief can evesdrop on, \ and the duration of the evesdropping will depend on alertness expertise. ESPIONAGE=<ABILITY>\ Usage : ESPIONAGE [TARGET] \n\r\ Example : espionage bob\n\r\ The thief uses the target to spy on the target`s clan communications. Any \ talk on the target`s clan-only or clan-ally channels will also be heard by the thief, \ so long as the thief is in the same room, and remains unnoticed by the target. \ The level of the player that can be used by the thief for espionage will depend on \ the thiefs level and on stealth expertise.

INVISIBILITY_TO_MARK=THIEF_MARKINVISIBILITY THIEF_MARKINVISIBILITY=<ABILITY>\ Example : \n\r\ The thief is considered completely invisible whenever the mark \ is in the room, due to their extreme ability to go unnoticed when \ their energy is focused (as when the mark is present). See the \ MARK ability for more information.

IMITATE=SKILL_IMITATION SKILL_IMITATION=<ABILITY>\ Usage : IMITATE [SPELL NAME] [TARGET NAME]\n\r\ Example : imitate Fireball Orc\n\r\ This strange pseudo-magical skill allows spells, prayers, songs, and \ chants learned through Spellcraft, Prayercraft, etc to be faked \ at a later time. The spell or skill will not yield any actual results \ (no damage or benefits from casting), but will enable the character \ to deceive others into believing that he can use that type of magic. JAILORS_KEY=SKILL_JAILKEY JAILOR_KEY=SKILL_JAILKEY JAILERS_KEY=SKILL_JAILKEY JAILER_KEY=SKILL_JAILKEY JAIL_KEY=SKILL_JAILKEY JAILKEY=SKILL_JAILKEY SKILL_JAILKEY=<ABILITY>\ Usage : JAILKEY [DIRECTION] \n\r\ Example : jailkey north\n\r\ Allows the player to lock or unlock any door to a jail room in the area.

KICK=<ABILITY>\ Usage : KICK [TARGET NAME] \n\r\ Example : kick orc\n\r\ The fighter uses his or her feet to deliver an extra bit of pain \ in combat. SUBDUE=<ABILITY>\ Usage : SUBDUE [TARGET NAME] \n\r\ Example : subdue orc\n\r\ The fighter uses finesse to avoid killing the target by making more \ strategic hits on the target. The actual damage will be minimal, \ but in reality the fighters damage will count towards subdueing damage. \ If carried through to the end, it will end up knocking the target \ cold instead of killing them. Dueing combat, a smart fighter can \ examine his or her target and tell how close they are to being \ fully subdued despite the apparant actual damage done. Once knocked \ out, the target can not be killed until consciousness is regained.\n\r\ \n\r\ Enter SUBDUE again to cancel this effect.

How well the thief can hear will depend \ on proficiency, how much higher in level than the thief those being \ listened to are, and alertness expertise. LORE=<ABILITY>\ Usage : LORE [ITEM NAME] \n\r\ Example : lore sword\n\r\ The bard carefully examines the item, using his extensive knowledge of magical lore to determine the \ items magical properties, if any.

The number of bombs available to the thief will go \ up as the thief advances in level, so bomb list may be used \ to see what new bombs are available as the thief advances. \ Not all bombs may be set on all items, however.

A certain number of plants per city per mud-month can be summoned for experience \ in this way.

Once done, the player will \ remember who they have marked until the death of the mark is witnessed, or \ the mark is changed. The ability of the player to kill the mark will go \ up the longer the player has to "observe" the mark. The mark is observed \ whenever the player is in the same room as the mark and can see him, but \ the mark cannot see the player. Marking for death is also useful for \ certain higher level assassin skills. You can issue a Mark a second time \ against the same target to remove the mark.

If the target uses a skill that is \ unknown to the bard within the short time of this effect, even if it is not one the \ bard is capable of learning, the bard will immediately attempt to ad-lib the skill \ towards the exact same target, and at the same proficiency. If either leaves the room, \ or the short time limit runs out, the effect just quietly ends. STRIKESET=STRIKE_THE_SET STRIKETHESET=STRIKE_THE_SET STRIKE_THE_SET=<ABILITY>\ Usage : STRIKETHESET\n\r\ Usage : STRIKESET\n\r\ Example : striketheset\n\r\ The bard strikes the set of the room, making any and all items in the room appear \ to be gone, and the room empty. EXITSTAGELEFT=EXIT_STAGE_LEFT EXIT_STAGE_LEFT=<ABILITY>\ Usage : EXITSTAGELEFT\n\r\ Example : exitstageleft\n\r\ The bard calls the curtain and motions for his or her enemies to exit, stage left (West). \ The enemies will then flee or wander west for awhile, until they run out of west directions, \ or the effect wears off.
