At the top of the Mineshaft.~
     You are standing at the top of the mineshaft. To the north a huge
stone arch leads out into the highest mountains anywhere, "The Roof of
the World". Looking down the shaft, you see a cave littered with corpses.
There is a sign here, carved into the living stone of the cave. 
PLEASE READ THE SIGN!! Type "look sign".

^r                    Welcome to the Anomaly Station 
^r                          FANTASY TRAINER!!

^C  This VR trainer is designed to introduce you to the concepts of
^C  Crimson II Mudding! You have already learned many basic interactive
^C  skills in finding your way to this VR trainer. Here, we will introduce
^C  you to more, such as combat, in a relatively safe environment. NOTE:
^C  while you are in the VR environment, you cannot die. You CAN lose hit
^C  points because the VR machines are real enough to inflict actual damage.
^C  However, the damage is relatively superficial and any extensive damage will
^C  be healed once you emerge from the VR session. If you wish to 
^C  exit from this VR session, simply type the command "stop". Please move
^C  through the next few areas, read the signs, and enjoy.

Moria's Backdoor~
     You are standing outside of Moria's back door. A huge stone arch to the 
south allows entrance to Moria. To the north a path climbs up the side of 
the Roof-Of-The-World mountain range (it's really not much more than a large 
hill.) There is a wooden sign here, planted in the ground.

^r               Lesson 1: HELP

^C  Crimson II is equipped with an extensive help system. Try typing
^C  "help" and you will be given a list of all available help items.
^C  To see help on an item, type "help" followed by the item. Example:
^C  to get help on "socials", type "help socials". Socials are little 
^C  social-type activities which you can do to other players, mobs, 
^C  or even sometimes objects. 

^C  By the way, a mob (short for MOBile), sometimes referred to as
^C  an NPC (Non-Player Character), is any character in the mud which 
^C  is not run by a real, living human being. Mobs are run by Crimson II.

Road in the Mountains~
     You stand on a wagon road that winds back and forth up the side of a 
mountain. A large mountain to the north forces the road to curve west. It 
doesn't look as though this road has seen much use lately. To the south, and 
far below, you can see the back door to Moria. A sign lies knocked over in 
the dirt. There are paw prints around the sign.

^r                Lesson 2: Inventory & Equipment

^C  In this game, there are objects which you can pick up, manipulate, 
^C  use, and drop. The commands to manipulate objects are listed in the
^C  <Inventory> section of the help. Some objects you can wear on your 
^C  body for protection. Other objects you may wield as a weapon (gun)
^C  or protection (shield). Still others you may eat (food), drink, etc.
^C  There should be a rock, and some wolf dung lying here.
^C  Try ^yget^Cing it, ^ydrop^Cping it, ^yequip^Cing it, ^yunequip^Cing it, 
^C  ^ywear^Cing it, ^ywield^Cing it. The command "inventory" shows what you
^C  are carrying. The command "equip" shows what you are currently 
^C  wearing or holding in your hands. 
^C  NOTE: Your equipment and inventory save when you "quit"!
^C  In the future, some *alien artefacts* will need to be preserved
^C  in special stasis chambers, though.
^r  HUGE WARNING:^C If you drop items which are not from this virtual reality
^C  session, they will disappear (eg: guns, ammo, peanut butter sandwiches). 
^C  DON'T PANIC. They will be sitting at your feet when you exit the VR session; 
^C  be sure to pick them up when you return to the VR room!

Muddy Road in the Mountains~
     You stand on a muddy road that winds back and forth through the 
mountains. The road continues to climb northward and descends towards the 
east. You notice that there are animal tracks in the mud and snow, perhaps 
those of a wolf or a dog. There is a sign planted in the mud.

^r                 Lesson 3: Combat

^C  In this game, you will encounter many creatures which you must fight, or
^C  who will simply attack you out of malice. You may periodically even find
^C  yourself in a battle with another player. Once you are engaged in combat,
^C  you and your opponent will automatically duke it out, using whatever 
^C  weapons and armor you currently have equipped. You may also use special
^C  abilities during combat. Your movement is restricted during combat; if 
^C  you wish to escape from a fight for whatever reason, you must use the 
^C  "flee" command. NOTE however that this will cost you experience points!
^C  There are no rewards for wimps or chickens.
^C
^C  If you kill your opponent, their corpse will be left lying on the ground.
^C  At this point, you are free to loot it of objects and/or money. NOTE 
^C  that if YOU die, your corpse and objects will be lying on the ground!!
^C  In this case, another one of your clones will be activated and you can
^C  (hopefully) retrieve your objects from your corpse before mobs and 
^C  other characters loot it.

^r            Lesson 4: Miscelaneous

^C  There is much to learn and explore in this game. The best way to do that
^C  is to just try things, go places, and be adventurous. Don't hesitate to 
^C  team up with other players to form a group; groups often are more powerful
^C  than individuals because they combine the strong points of many characters!
^C  Other notes to point out:
^C    - use "say" and "gossip" to communicate with other players.
^C    - use "set" to change your game settings.
^C    - use "who" to see who else is currently playing.

Tracks in the Snow~
     As you march along the road dodging large patches of snow, you notice 
that some of the patches show imprints that could only have been made with a 
large hobnailed boot. The road curves sharply to the west as it climbs. A 
sign is planted in the snow. Some wolf prints lead up to the sign; there 
appears to be a yellow patch of snow at the base of it.

^C  If you get stuck someplace, ask other players for help.

^C  What lies ahead is a small adventure set in a fantasy setting. This 
^C  adventure is intended to give you an introduction to the world
^C  of mudding. Hint: pay attention to details, don't be afraid to try new 
^C  things, and it might be a good idea to make a map if you think you

West of the Watch Tower~
     Now that you are here you notice that the reason the watch tower looked 
so sinister is that it is covered by a veil of darkness. This certainly 
doesn't bode well for the chances of friendly inhabitants. There is a huge 
gate entering the tower to the east. I sure hope you have the key.

for many an hour to create it. Also, if I logon to your mud I expect near- 
immortal status if I request it (me being 'Cryogen') ;-). Special procs are 
your problem, and there are a few that need to be written. One, vampires 
should only be hit with wooden stakes. Two, shadow creatures can only be hit 
by silver. Three, you should only be able to climb down the cliff-face with 
a rope and grapple tied together. Four, you should be able to change bars of 
silver to silver weapons using the molds at the forge. Five, all the 
vampires are intended to be spellcasters."
