-1 GODWARS-HISTORY~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Around the end of 1994, I - Richard Woolcock (aka KaVir) - was helping Ben
Walding (aka Malice) write Eternal Conflict MUD. I supplied suggestions, whilst
he did almost all of the coding. In order to help out with the code, I decided
to download a copy of Merc 2.1 and 'have a play' with it. I taught myself how
code in C, but as a side affect I created another mud - God Wars. The mud was
very primitive, but was also quite fun to play on, so I spoke with a friend of
mine and managed to get a temporary site - just to show him what I had written.
The mud proved popular, and was offered a permanent site elsewhere. After
about 6 months work, one of the players (who called himself Joker) requested a
copy of the mud to help with his University project. In return for his word
that the mud would be for personal use only, I agreed. He broke his word, and
ran the mud as Vampire Wars, making practically no further changes to the code.
A few months later, I began to jointly run a second version of God Wars in the
USA, because of severe lag the American players suffered from whilst playing on
the UK based mud. This mud began developing on its own, until eventually the
site owner and his coder fell out, and another version of God Wars was created.
In 1997 another copy of Godwars was stolen and given out freely over the net.
Since then I began developing the mud in a very different direction - stopping
only briefly to create God Wars Deluxe, which unfortunately was also stolen
and eventually leaked out. - KaVir
~
-1 GODWARS-INFO~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This version of God Wars was last modified by KaVir in March 1996. After that
point a couple of people decided to try and "rework" the code, filling it with
numerous really nasty bugs - thus you are using this code at your own peril
(unfortunately there are no cleaner copies of the 1996 code). Look out for
other muds in the series! God Wars (1995 version of this), Dark City (KaVir's
evolved God Wars derivative), God Wars Deluxe (a cut-down, smoothed out version
of Dark City) and Last City - KaVir's current mud, which is not currently up.
There are also a number of other God Wars derivatives which were not written by
KaVir - for example Sage's "Lords of War" and Aronacus' "Planes of Hades".
Unfortunately the original 1996 copy of the code was lost (KaVir didn't keep
copies of the mud in it's different stages - KaVir just kept working on it until
he decided it needed a new name and called it Dark City). Last City got another
rename because a movie came out called Dark City and didn't want people getting
confused about the theme.

-1 ROM~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ROM started in early Feb 1993, using Merc 1.0 code. In July of 1993, ROM II was
started, eventually replacing the original ROM. ROM was up for a little over a
year, after which the code (version 2.3) was released, and various other ROM
muds were started, including Rivers of Mud under a new management (Zump's ROM),
at rom.org 9000. Alander's current project is Athen, the sequel to the ROM code.
It will be found at hypercube.org 6666, when it is opened.
The following people contributed to the ROM flavor of the merc base code:
Socials -- Kelsey and Liralen
New, Improved Valhalla -- Liralen
Maps and map shop -- Ezra, Regnan (Olympus)
Nirvana zone -- Forstall (mobiles rewritten by Alander)
Mob Factory -- Pinkfloyd (originally for ROM, mobiles rewritten by Alander)
Geographically correct New Enoch (Midgaard) (tm) -- Alander
Ideas and playtesting -- Thousands of dedicated mudders around the world
Beta testing -- Ken Blosser, Doug Araya, Sherene Neil all helped with bugs
and suggestions, saving a lot of headaches
New Thalos area was donated by Onivel of Jedi, who was also the originator
of the ASCII flags used in the zone files
ROM 2.4 was developed during my time with Moosehead SLED, and the release shares
many of the features I wrote while I was there. Additional code was written by
Seth Scott (enchant armor, the new poofin/poofout), and many contributions and
ideas from the Merc list were used. Portions of Rusty's code from Moosehead also
remain.
The new features of 2.4 were largely produced in bull sessions with Gabrielle
Taylor and Brian Moore, without whom this release wouldn't have happened. In
particular, the new privacy code, furniture, and wiznet are largely the results
of Gabrielle's ideas.
Changes to the standard diku mob and object format, as well as the changes to
Merc 2.1 source code, were done by Alander over many late nights of hair-pulling
Hope you enjoy it. (my apologies if anyone was forgotten on list)

-1 LURF 'Lurking Fear II' Version~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lurking Fear started as the brainchild of Dominion, who brought together the
creative talents of a small group of Mudders, who were fed up with the ways of
their current MUDs, and thought that they could do a better job with their own.
Dominion, Spiral, Jovie, and Cancer
Over the past three years, Lurking Fear has evolved into what you see now,
starting as a Merc 2.2, quickly running to a ROM 2.4b that was HEAVILY modified,
turned into a highly coveted, much ripped off LURF code, then dropped. After a
small break, Godwars code was picked up, mutilated, transformed and enhanced to
LURF2 standards.
Lurf has been influenced, both positively and negatively by numerous sources.
We put up with know-it-alls, whiners, and even a few constructive critics. They
all know who they are, and appropriately know our thanks or curses. :)
Current Version: Lurking Fear II, now so enhanced and modified, we now consider
it of the LURF2 codebase, based off of DIKU, MERC, ROM, GODWARS, and LURF1 code.

1 Greet Meet known~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{RSyntax:{C greet <player>
greet <player> [greeting message]
meet <player1><player2> (if you know both, they don't know each other)
{x
Only once you've learned who a person is, will you see their name in the who
listing, or on the street when you do a 'look'. To introduce yourself to
someone, use the greet command. You can introduce yourself even if you don't
know their name by using their desc. i.e. 'greet female'.
If you do not see that person, they are not on your who list, because you don't
know that they are on. Now, you must meet in common locations to run into
them. You do not automatically know a person's name until they tell it to
you, so they are a stranger until then.
Note that just because you introduce yourself to someone, does not mean that
they have to give you their name... Introducing yourself will give the other
person your name however.
This is based on The WoT Mud greet, then modified for Lurf II.

1 Methuselah Elder Ancilla Neonate Childe~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methuselah: An Elder who no longer lives among other Kindred. Often Inconnu.
Elder: Very old vampire, usually some of the most powerful vampires.
Ancilla: An 'adolescent' vampire, not yet an elder but no longer a neonate.
Neonate: A young, newly created Kindred. Vide Fledgling, Whelp.
Childe: A derogatory term for a young, inexperienced, or foolish vampire.

1 Diablerie~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The cannibalistic behavior common among Kindred, involving the consumption of
the blood of another vampire. The elders do so out of need, whereas the anarchs
do so out of desire for power.
A term for when a vampire feeds upon other vampires, either out of need or
perversion. Vide Rogue
Diablerie is not currently coded on Lurking Fear II, but it is being considered
after an suitable implementation is decided on.
~
1 Generation 'Fourth Generation'~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your generation represents the number of steps in your lineage away from
Dominion that you are. The closer you are to Dominion, the more powerful you
can potentially become. The higher your generation, the more disciplines you
may learn, and the higher rating in each discipline you may achieve. Your
generation is equal to +1 of your sire's generation.
The minimum requirements to become a fourth generation vampire are:
10k/10k/4k, full set of Legendary+ gear, mask-ready and 50+ million exp
This minimum requirement still may not be enough to persuade an Antideluvian
to embrace you. Additional roleplay potential may also be required.
* These requirements may also be used for ArchMage or any other special cases.
~
1 RULES~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lurking Fear II is a RolePlay (RP) enhanced PlayerKill (PK) MUD.
This means RP is enforced, and PK is allowed. It may be a hard concept for the
PurePK players, or PureRP players, but this mixture has been quite successful
in its implementation here. Please check out the various help files.
General rules (also see policy)
1) RP is enforced, you will keep IC and OOC separate at all times, and in the
proper settings or channels.
2) PK is allowed, expect to be PKed. You can PK any avatar, but certain RP
restrictions must be followed.
{xThe final say on ANY matter are the words of an Admin.
Inter-clan rules at the discretion of the clan.
{Rsee also:{x 'help policy', 'help pk', 'help status', 'help rp status'
~
1 OOC 'Out of Character' IC 'In Character'~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OOC: simply means 'Out of Character'- Anything OOC does not take place within
the MUD's storyline. Conversations about where the MUD is located, or talking
about where other Players go to school in Real-Life (RL) are OOC discussions.
Any action that is OOC would not be known or remembered by chars. Knowledge
or info gathered through any OOC means cannot be used in IC environment.
IC: simply means 'In Character' - A state in which actions and characters are
considered active parts of the MUD's continuing timeline. Role-Playing (RPing)
of a character occurs when the char is IC, which can only happen when located in
an IC location. An action is considered IC if it is realistic for the situation,
and follows a plausible set of events.
You are required to keep IC and OOC separate, or you will be penalized either
RP Status, or you will be asked/forced to leave.

0 blood gore 'killing humans' wash murderer~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you kill 'human' mobs, you will be covered in 'blood and gore', which may
prompt cityguards to accuse you of murder, and attack you. There are plenty of
non-human animals and monsters to kill if you are either too humane to kill your
own race, or are afraid of the reprecussions of getting caught murdering the
townsfolk. If in fact you choose to kill humans, you accept the possible
actions that may be taken against you.
PKilling is not illegal, but it is highly frowned upon within the walls of the
city. It is permissable to be attacked and killed by other avatars for killing
inside a city, especially if that particular city is a Sect Domain.
{RSyntax:{C wash
{x
If you are covered in 'blood and gore', you may clean yourself off by washing
yourself in a water area, such as a pool, river or ocean. This will eliminate
the evidence of your barbaric crimes.

involved.
~
1 POLICY1 ArtifactPolicy~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{W*{y Cloning of Artifacts is banned! And always has been.{x
{W*{y Storage of Artifacts is illegal. {x
Cloning of ANY artifact will result in all copies of the cloned artifact
being removed from the game and any further action deemed appropriate.
Artifacts are for Avatars+ only... NO MORTALS will handle an Artifact
for any reason. You will be deleted if you are a mortal char storing an
artifact. You will lose the artifact if you are avatar+ and give one to
a mortal.
Any one character may only posess 2 artifacts, of any kind, at anytime.
Dominion's Bloodstones are technically NOT artifacts, and don't count towards
the 2 artifact limit, but they are restricted to 1 per character.
~
1 POLICY2 Multiplaying Charsharing~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{W*{y Multiplaying is illegal!{x
{W*{y Sharing characters is illegal!{x
'Multi playing' is 'p-l-a-y-i-n-g--m-u-l-t-i-p-l-e' characters at same time.
This means two or more characters are being controlled by same person, at
the same time, and they are currently logged into the MUD.
'Char sharing' is 's-h-a-r-i-n-g--c-h-a-r-s' between two or more people.
This means two or more people are controlling the same characters, at
various times, or giving away characters to other players.
Rule of thumb: If you started a character, play your character... DO
NOT play someone elses at all. If you no longer wish to play a
character, stop playing, DO NOT give its password to another person.
Anyone caught doing so will have ALL of the concerned characters deleted
or any lesser penalty deemed appropriate by the immortal dealing with it.
This includes going link-dead and immediately logging on another char to
whine about the first. NO EXCEPTIONS!
Also, there will be NO helping your own characters with other characters you
own, by ANY arrangement. Since your characters cannot be on the mud at the
same time, they would have no knowledge of each other, to even attempt to
interact. How clear does this need to be?
~
0 POLICY12 UNHAPPY~
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you decide lurf doesn't cut it anymore as your choise of entertainment.
Please leave at your own free will. Please do not log back in and harass
the immortal staff about your reason for quitting lurf. Please do not
make ooc comments about your reason for quitting lurf.. in fact keey
keep even, your mouth shut. If you don't have nothing nice to say don't
say it. Or i will have to shut it for you. It is not your job or responisbility
to let everyone know why you are quitting. Or even to get back revenge on
us by trying to take our player base away. The reason we have a player base
it due to something we are doing right. And they feel it is nessary to play.
But much like all entertainment out on the internet, this is only one
free service. And much like other free services out on the internet
if this is abused alot it won't remain free. I spend 40 - 50 dollars
every month to keep this service up so that everyone is happy and lives
thier life the way they want it. It is not our responsibility to make
you happy cause you do not agree with our rules... It is not our
responsibility to keep you entertained all your life. We only keep
the majority of players happy. If there are 5 happy players on, then
I am doing my job.
With that said, I am instating new policy, as of today... If you cannot
stand policy or refuse to go somewhere else, I will ban and humilitate
those that do not comply. This is a adult mud, and we do not act like
spolied children when we do not get our way. You should act the same.
~
1 POLICY3 Spam~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{W*{y No spamming any channels{x
This is unfriendly and upsets people. The penalty for this is that the
offending player will be silenced for a period determined by the immortal.
Spamming also includes spamming spells in popular public locations. If you
need to, use The Donation Room or The Bank, on either side of By The Temple
Altar (healer), don't spam the healer. Also, do not idle in leveling areas
or quest zones, with the purpose of slowing repops, while practicing spells
for extended periods of time. It is a common courtesy.
~
1 POLICY4 Crashing~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{W*{y No purposeful crashing of the mud.{x
Deliberate crashing of the mud will cause you to be denied or possibly
deleted and may even end up in your site being prevented from connecting
to the mud (banned).
Any bugs that cause this MUST be reported immediately.
~
1 POLICY5 Botting Triggers~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{W*{y No 'bots' or other series of triggers to maintain a afk connection.{x
Actively train and practice your spells, skills or stances, or you may find
your gains lost, or worse. zMUD or Tintin macros and hotkeys are fine, as
long as they are NOT maintaining your connection.
This is highly frowned upon by the Admin, and you will be set back.
{W*{y SIMPLE triggers, macros, and hot keys are fine, as long as gameplay is
actively maintained by the player, not a intricate series scripts.{x
~
1 POLICY6 Nonavatars~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{W*{y Avatars and Non Avatars will in NO way harm or hinder each other.{x
Non Avatars will NOT heal, spell up, scout for, or where any Avatar.
Avatars will NOT attack, charm, command, trick, deceive or in any other way
hurt a Non Avatar. EVER. You will be killed and looted, to include your
claimed gear and any artifacts you may have acquired. Worth it?
If any Non Avatar or newbie ask a question, you are not required to answer it
although that would keep in the spirit of helping others and promote a
friendly atmosphere. If in fact you do choose to open your mouth, you WILL
NOT give out false information, or you will be severely punished.
~
1 POLICY7 Hacking~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{W*{y There will be no excessive hindering of gameplay to other characters{x
This includes being tied, gagged, and blindfolded and left for an extended
period of time, without the active attempt to gain a decapitation. Holding
of a mortally wounded character should be limited to a 'few minutes', or set
them free. Holding and continued mortally wounding a character for the sole
purpose of torso-ing is illegal, unless immediately followed by a decap.
This is to prevent EXCESSIVE abuse, not normal PK. Do not immediately whine
as soon as you get smacked down, or start your stop watch... How do you time
a 'few minutes'? You typed 'train avatar', you should expect to be PKed.

1 POLICY8 RolePlaying 'Role Play' RP~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To say roleplaying is enforced, it is near impossible to effectively maintain
total compliance with any set standards. Roleplay by definition suggests a
wide variety of acceptable options. Still, roleplay on Lurking Fear II is
enforced on LURF II.It is impossible for the Admin to see and be everywhere
on the MUD, at all times. But we are trying the best we can to do so anyways,
there fore you should not loose the good spirit of roleplaying because you
havent been rewarded for good roleplay the last cupple of sessions.
It will come sooner or later.
AD&D 2nd Ed rules: 'It is best to create a character according to how you wish
it to be created: while the DM may have some say in strictly technical issues,
the character must be one which you can roleplay naturally.'
If you fail to play the role you have choosen to play here on LURF,
some adjustments must be taken. Immortals noticing people not being true
to the role they play will penalized you by loss of Rpts and/or RP status.
Worst case, you will MUD elsewhere.
But if you just act the role you have written in your nature and demeanor and
stick within our rules that is something that will never happen to you.
You are also required to strictly keep all OOC and IC comments to the channels
reserved for that particular discussion. ie. OOC, chat, cgoss, question, tells
You have to remember that there is a big differance on IC and OOC actions. If
somone plots you out, and wins a given conflict weather it is verbal or a fight
do not start whining to him oocly, his role defeatet your role, the two of you
shouldent judge the other over it.
Many roleplayers around the world thinks that good roleplay is
equal to getting power, however this isent the case, he/she who can play the
loosing role in a given conflict, is just as good if not better a player.
Try to remember that it is not you who loose respect if your role looses a
conflict, often you will find that its acturly just the oppersit.

The following helps are designed to assist your ability to properly roleplay a
certain type of character. Situations may vary, but these will guide you in the

~
1 rp-camarilla~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{CBasic roleplay of a Camarilla Vampire:{x
Views on Werewolves: Avoid werewolves if at all possible. If contact cannot be
avoided, take any precautions to ensure the advantage. Take any opportunity to
betray or ambush garou in self-defense.
Views on Sabbat: Natural opponents as Sabbat is against all Traditions that
Camarilla adhere to. Fear of Sabbat prompts calculated, well planned attacks.
Views on Followers: Treated similar to the Sabbat, to be destroyed.
~
1 rp-sabbat~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{RBasic roleplay of a Sabbat Vampire:{x
Views on Camarilla: Driving goal to destroy the Camarilla. Will use any means
to at its disposal to wreak havoc on the enemy.
Views on Followers: Evil snakes through and through. Stong enemies of the
Sabbat, and must be annihilated.
Views on Werewolves: Werewolves should be destroyed at the convenience of the
Sabbat. This hatred is of secondary importance compared to vampire enemies.
Bone Gnawers are the exception.
~
1 rp-followers~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{BBasic roleplay of a Follower Vampire:{x
Views on Camarilla: Setites refused to join the Camarilla when it was formed.
They will continue to harrass the Camarilla, until it and the ancients who
manipulate it are dust and forgotten.
Views on Sabbat: The Sabbat blasphemers need to be destroyed. But most Sabbat
are of little concern to the Followers, except that they make great enemies of
Camarilla.
Views on Werewolves: Werewolves are enemies of the Wyrm tainted Followers,
however, Werewolves of the Wyrm share similar ideals, and mutual enemies. It
has been rumored of brief collective ventures of the Wyrm.
~
1 rp-pack~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{gBasic roleplay of a Pack Werewolf:{x
Views on the Wyrm: The Wyrm is the greatest enemy of Garou.
~
1 rp-wyrm~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{mBasic roleplay of a Wyrm Werewolf:{x
Views of the Pack: Implacable foes, often tempting to lure them into its
service.
~
1 rp-independant~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{wBasic roleplay of an Independant Vampire:{x Independant vampires are granted
slight leeway with their dealings with other Sects. Antitribu distinction
may be required.
{wBasic roleplay of an Independant Werewolf:{x Independant werewolves are granted
slight leeway with thier dealings with other Sects.
~
1 rp-vampire~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{RBasic roleplay of a Vampire:{x
Views on Werewolves: Age-old enemies of Vampires, as their hatred of vampires
overwhelms them.
Gangrel exception: Have a better understanding of Garou, may briefly ally with
them, but still inherent enemies. Secondary to sect beliefs.
~
1 rp-werewolf~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{GBasic roleplay of a Werewolf:{x
Views on Vampires: Considered corrupt targets, to be annihilated on sight. The
very existance of these Wrym-spawned creatures infuriates the Garou.
~
1 POLICY9 Bugs~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{W*{y Exploiting bugs and not reporting them is illegal. (duh!){x
If you find a bug, no matter how small, you WILL report it.
If you find a bug and do not report it, you WILL be severely punished. Use
some common sense here people...
There is no place for cheaters here.
~
1 POLICY10 Suicide FeedingStatus~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{W*{y Do NOT PK suicide or feed others your own status.{x
There is NO reason to immediately leave the healer after you have been capped
and re-avatared, without fully healing, just to inflate the status of others.
If you are running around with sub standard gear, and involving yourself in
pointless PK battles, you will be frozen or deleted. Suicide and status
feeding involves anything similar to this as deemed by the Admin.
If for any reason you 'retire' your character, just quit. You do not have to
piss off the Admin, sac your gear, and widdle out your status by breaking
rules and policy. This also includes handing off full sets of created gear,
quested gear, or tons of quest tokens. You will permanently lose your char
and the gear/tokens will be confiscated. It is not fair to others if they
have to earn thier Qpts, but others get it all free.
Besides, you may choose to come back at a later time, if of course, that
option is still open.
~
1 POLICY11 Admin NewImm Code~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{W*{y Do not ask for high level Admin spots or to code on Lurking Fear II.{x
We DO NOT hire Admin Immortals that are not active Lurking Fear II players or
have NO Admin experience in the first place. The only exceptions are if you
are approached by the Impl. Don't call us, we'll call you.
We are NOT in need of another or new coders, and No, our coders will not code
for you. We have rather large heaping platters, with little to no extra time
to tackle other side projects. This is our MUD, this is where we work.
Lurking Fear II code is NOT public domain. If you are looking for MUD code
to start your own MUD, we will be of no help to you. We would suggest that
you search for any of the tons of released MUD source code, such as Merc,
ROM, Circle, etc... Not hard to find. You will NOT get GodWars or Lurf II
code from us.
This policy has stemed from MULTIPLE inquiries, resulting in a combined file
of information on this subject. We are not trying to be rude, but our work
is our work, done for the enjoyment of our players. We don't have time to
train new Admin, baby sit new Admin, or otherwise detract ourselves from
constant improvements here. Our players understand and so should you.
~
1 Assist Assisting~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you attack someone bigger then you, DO NOT call your higher status sectmates
to bail you out, we have a FLEE command, or an ESCAPE command if you get beat
up that fast. Please learn to fight your own battles and not bite off more then
you can handle yourself.
On the other hand it IS okay to call for help when you are attacked by someone
else, that is the risk someone takes when initiating a fight.
~
1 Excess~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Excessive or repeated violations to the same rule or policy, by the same actual
player, without any concern for different characters played by that person that
may have commited the crimes, will result in much harsher punishments.
Just because you create a new char and break a rule again with a different name,
does not mean you will get off with a first time warning. First time warnings
may or may not be given, at the discretion of the Admin handling the issue.
~
0 SAFE SAFEROOMS 'SAFE ROOMS'~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Safe rooms are certain rooms that no combat may be initiated, hence called safe.
During the daylight hours, these designated rooms will provide you safety. At
night however, there is no safe place to hide. This is a 'World of Darkness'
MUD. Safe rooms are ineffective at this time.
Beware of the things that go bump in the night.
~
-1 STORYLINE HISTORY~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The realm of the Lurking Fear is in essence, a powder keg waiting to explode.
Behind the many conflicts tearing at mortal society a fierce Jyhad rages in the
darkness. By night, Tremere and their Gargoyle creations fight brutal wars
against the Tzimisce and their ghoul servitors. Powerful Ventrue forcefully
attempt to bring regions under their control. Individual Tzimisce voivodes
defend their ancestral holdings from marauding packs of younger Tzimisce and
Lupines of the Silver Fang tribe. Malkavian prophets warn of the coming of
Gehenna. Archane Mages of unknown decent are starting to surface. Even the
noble Gangrel are split between those who support the growth of mortal cities,
and those who wish to see them destroyed. The Brujah rail against the Western
Ventrue, sowing the seeds that will eventually lead to great peasant revolts.
Assamites lurk in the shadows ready to strike against those who would bring the
Crusades to their lands. The Camarilla sect wages war on the Sabbat as Lupine
forces look on. It is no wonder peasants lock their doors at night, huddling
together in fear at the terrible sounds just outside thier windows.
In the mortal world, the clash between East and West goes on. On one side are
Western nobilty, the Roman Catholic Church, nomad merchants, and the Western
overlords. On the other, Eastern and Ofcol serfs, New Thalos and New Enoch
peasants, pagans, and the Eastern Orthodox Church. Of course, these conflicts
are not as black-and-white as they seem. Within each faction are many
individuals with often conflicting goals.
Time period: Late 1400s - Early 1500s (late Dark Ages - beginning Renaissance)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{RSyntax:{C claim <object>
{RSyntax:{C call <object>
{RSyntax:{C call all
{RSyntax:{C gift <object> <player>
{RSyntax:{C locate
{x
By claiming an object (which costs 500 exp), that object becomes your
personal property. Using the 'locate' command you can find what items
currently belong to you and where they are in the mud. If you are not
carrying the item, you can get it back by calling it with the 'call'
command. You can change the ownership of your own items by use of the
'gift' command.
~
0 PK PKILL AVATAR CLASSES REQUIREMENTS REQS~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To become an 'avatar' you are required to have 100000 exp, and a minimum of
4000 hp/mana/moves. Any less, and you will be torn to shreds by other avatars.
It is suggested you wait until well over 5-10k hp, but if you have a death wish,
shoot for the minimum. The more work you put in, the better you will be.
Also, before going avatar, you are required to have a suitable long description.
{Rsee also:{x help 'description', 'help nature' and 'help demeanor'.
You may 'train avatar' at your discretion, after minimum requirements are met.
Additional class requirements will be made at a later time by class leaders.
Becoming an avatar puts you into the Immortal PK system, this is not like being
and Immortal admin with god powers. Follow the RP/PK system set out in the help
files of 'rules', 'status', 'decapitate', 'tie', 'gag', 'blindfold', 'crack',
etc. For info on classes, {Rsee also:{x help 'vampire', 'werewolf', and 'mage'.

~
0 CRACK~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While holding a head in either your left or right hand, typing 'crack'
will crack the head open, spilling the brains out onto the floor.
Heads may be collected as souvenirs of PK battle.
~
0 DEATH~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When your character dies, you are reincarnated back at the Altar of the Temple
of New Enoch. Your corpse is left behind in the room where you were killed,
together with all of your unclaimed equipment. Your claimed gear autorecalls.
Any spells which were affecting you are canceled by death.
Following and groups are not affected by death.
You lose experience points for dying. The amount you lose is half of your
current amount, so it's a good idea not to hoard exp.
Corpses decay after time, and the objects inside corpses decay with them.
Player corpses last *roughly* 30 hours of game time (15 minutes of real time).

This command allows you to transport to the Temple of New Enoch when
mortally wounded. Unfortunately, it also reduces both your mana and move
to 0, and informs everyone else on the MUD that you are lying defenseless
at recall...so be careful how you use it.
~
0 MOUNT DISMOUNT~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{RSyntax:{C mount <creature>
{RSyntax:{C dismount
{x
This allows the character to mount the specified creature. Only
creatures such as horses and the like may be mounted, and they will aid
their rider in combat.
For information on the MOUNT spell, type 'help mountspell'.
~
0 SHEATH DRAW SCABBARDS FASTDRAW~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{RSyntax:{C sheath <left|right> - the hand that the weapon is in
{RSyntax:{C draw <left|right>
{x
Scabbards are for holding weapons. You sheath the weapon in, and draw the
weapon out.
FASTDRAW is automatic, if you have it. If another player attacks you
while you have any sheathed weapons, you will draw them out with
lightning speed and strike your opponent before they are able to land any
blows on you. If you have any items in your hands at the time, you will
throw them aside before drawing your weapons.
~
0 QUESTS~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quest Makers (and occasionally higher levels) can set quests for one or
more players to participate in. The rewards for such quests can be in
the form of specially modified equipment. A number of quest points-worth
will be allocated depending on the difficulty of the quest, using the
following guidelines for point costs (QP's = Quest Points):
Once a certain affect (str, hitroll, ac, etc) is selected, it cannot be
chosen again for that item even if you didn't select the maximum allowed
amount. Choosing to have penalties on an item will not decrease its
cost, although some Quest Makers may allow extra points if you select a
few disadvantages on the item.
For more information, type 'quest', 'help questcard', 'help token',
and 'help aquest'.
~
0 QUEST TOKEN~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{RSyntax:{C quest <field> <value>
{RSyntax:{C token <value>
{x
QUEST will allow you to spend any quest points you might have. For a
list of the cost (in quest points), type 'quest'.
TOKEN will allow you to create a quest token, with the value of the token
set to the value specified. The tokens value must be within 1 and 500,
and it cannot be greater than the number of quest points you currently
have.
For information on the QUEST spell, type 'help questspell'.
~
0 QUESTCARD COMPLETE RECHARGE RIDDLES~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{RSyntax:{C complete card
{RSyntax:{C complete card <object>
{RSyntax:{C recharge card machine
{x
A quest card requires 4 objects to complete. To find out what 4 objects you
need, type 'complete card'. When you find these items, you should type
'complete card <object>'. Once you have completed all 4 items on the card you
will be told that you have completed the card. Then you should go and find the
dark crypt, where there is a machine, and type 'recharge card machine'. You
will receive a quest token reward, which you should eat, and the card will be
recharged with 4 new items to find.
HINT: Vallandar's tomb can be found by going 2 south, 8 east, 4 north from
recall. once you have found that area, you should look for the guardian and
solve his riddle, enter the portal he creates, and you'll be in the dark crypt.
The riddle given by the guardian is a randomly generated riddle that he will
change after each successful answer. It is not permitted to ask for the answer
or give out the answer on public channels. You will be penalized if you do.
The riddles are not that difficult to figure out.
~
0 QUEST-TYPES~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following are a few examples of quest types:
{Y* Find the object/s.{x Examples: Find 5 different coloured potions, Find a
pitch black longsword that flames brightly, Find a dragon dagger, belt
and bracer, etc.
{Y* Kill the mob/s.{x These can be hunt down and kill, or simple placing the
player in the same room as the mob/s. Can also be combined with finding
objects - Example: Find and kill two different dragons and bring me
their claws.
{Y* Solve a puzzle.{x For example find a certain room, solve a riddle in an
area, or successfully get out of a maze. These are particularly good
when several players of different ability are competing in the quest.
{Y* Duel:{x A one-on-one fight pitting either a player against a mob, or
(more usually) a player against another player. The conditions will be
decided beforehand, and can include any conditions that both sides
agree on. Example: No sanctuary, no potions (or maybe a limited number),
no spells, no weapons, or whatever.
{Y* Skirmishes:{x Like a duel, but involves several players on either side.
Although the sides don't have to be equal in number, it is generally a
good idea to make sure they are roughly equal in power.
{Y* There are also several more obscure quests that can be run{x - for
example you could require that the player brings you 3 small green
eggs, then load mob 30005 into the players room. Another battle might
involve no melee - all combat must be with missile weapons.
~
0 EXPERIENCE XP~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your character advances in power by gaining experience.
* You gain experience by being part of a group that kills someone/something.
* You lose experience by dying, being decapitated, or fleeing.
The experience you get from a kill depends on several things: how many players
are in your group; your alignment versus your opponent's alignment; how
many of this monster have been killed lately (if they are an NPC); and
some random variation.
There is a exp modifier, which is an average of your RP and PK status, as well
as the random Admin grins and glances.
See also help on 'rp status'.
~
0 STATUS~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This represents the 'danger' of the player. You only have a status if you
are level 3. It grants no extra powers, but is a good measure of how deadly
that player is in combat. Each time you decapitate an Immortal+ (or an
Avatar if you are also an Avatar) your status goes up by one and their status
goes down by one (to a minimum of zero). The following shows how many kills
(minus deaths) you need for each status:
0 = {Y Avatar {RAvatar Vamp {GAvatar Garou {CAvatar Mage {yAvatar Hunter{x
1-4 = {Y Lesser God {RLesser Vamp {GLesser Garou {CLesser Mage {yLesser Hunter{x
5-9 = {Y Demigod {RVampire {GGarou {CMage {y Hunter{x
10-14 = {Y Greater God {RGreater Vamp {GGreater Garou {CGreater Mage {yGreaterHunter{x
15-19 = {YGrandImmortal {RGrand Vampire {GGrand Garou {CGrand Mage {y Grand Hunter{x
20-24 = {YElderImmortal {RElder Vampire {GElder Garou {CElder Mage {y Elder Hunter{x
25-29 = {YMaster Immort {RMaster Vamp {GMaster Garou {CMaster Mage {yMaster Hunter{x
30+ = {YImmort Legend {RVampireLegend {GGarou Legend {CMage Legend {yHunter Legend{x
There is no longer any restrictions on who you can decapitate or tie up.
If you tie or decap a player under your range, you will get -1 RP status,
unless you note the immortals, to prove that the decap was a valid RP choice.
Then your RP status may be re-imbursed.
RP status and PK status are averaged together to get your status modifier that
affects your exp gain, and questing maximum. You get an additional 100 QPts
per Status point on quest gear. {Rsee also:{x 'help rp status' and 'help gear'

5) A magus. 10) A grand sorcerer.
Note that these are only rough estimates; one master wizard might well be
slightly more skilled than another master wizard, and so on.

0 HOME~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To set your recall point, enter the desired room and type 'home here'.
From that point on you will recall to that point rather than the Temple
of New Enoch (although you still go to the Temple Altar if you die).
A home cannot be a safe room.
~
0 PET PETS~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can buy pets in the pet shop. Your pet-buying opportunities do not
accumulate; use them or lost them. This policy prevents wholesale abuse
of pets.
~
0 TICK~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each game tick, represents 30 minutes of MUD time, therefore each full MUD
hour requires 2 game ticks to pass. Each tick, normal player update, i.e.
regeneration or spell length, will pass. Use the 'time' command to see
current MUD time, in 30 minute intervals.
Many of the game actions are based upon interval timers, including combat,
most autonomous monster actions, hp/mana/move regeneration, spell duration,
weather, and area resetting.
Of these timers, the hp/mana/move regeneration timer is popularly called the
'tick'. Ticks on this mud average 60 seconds of real time, but the actual
amount varies randomly from 45 seconds to 75 seconds.
Area resetting happens roughly every 5 minutes if no one is in the area; less
often (20 minutes) if some one is. Also note that objects lying on the ground
will not be regenerated if anyone is in the area when it resets.

~
0 CAST~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{RSyntax:{C cast <spell> <target>
{x
Before you can cast a spell, you have to practice it. The more you practice,
the higher chance you have of success when casting. Casting spells costs mana.
The mana cost decreases as your magical ability increases.
The <target> is optional. Many spells which need targets will use an
appropriate default target, especially during combat.
If the spell name is more than one word, then you must quote the spell name.
Example: cast 'cure critic' frag. Quoting is optional for single-word spells.
You can abbreviate the spell name.
When you cast an offensive spell, the victim usually gets a saving throw.
The effect of the spell is reduced or eliminated if the victim makes the
saving throw successfully.
See also the help sections for individual spells.
~
7 EXIT~

room <room vnum> - make a one way link (use with caution)
key <object vnum> - makes specified object the vnum of the key required
name <door name> - makes the door's name/keywords = to the given name
desc - edit the description of the exit
delete - delete this exit
<exit-flags> - type ? EXIT for a list(make exit door, locked etc.)
The exit flags are presented in the following manner. The capitalized
flags are ones not included in the reset info. i.e. closed is due to
a player closing the door and not due to the door being set to be closed.
-South to [ 3744] Key: [ -1] Exit flags: [door CLOSED bashed pickproof]
~
0 EXITS~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{RSyntax:{C exits

DROP, GET and PUT understand the object names 'ALL' for all objects and
'ALL.object' for all objects with the same name.
~
0 EQUIPMENT GEAR INVENTORY Legendary Mythical~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{RSyntax:{C equipment
{RSyntax:{C inventory
{x
EQUIPMENT lists your equipment (armor, weapons, and held items).
{Y(Legendary){x equipment:
Equipment with quest value over 1999 and less then 4000.
{C(Mythical){x equipment:
Equipment with quest value over 3999 and less then 8000.
{M(Immortal){x equipment:
Equipment with quest value of 8000 or greater.
Created gear has a maximum of 4000 QPts, as compared to mob gear with 2000. It
is possible for created weapons to go as high as 8000 Qpts in value. Your
status (PK+RP/2) will add 100 QPts to the max of your items.
INVENTORY lists your inventory.
Due to several issue with people selling and giving eq to new players we have
decided to put this unwritten rule into text. NO player under 150 hours will
purchase, receive nor hold any of the highlevel eq. The only eq you may give
or sell is Red Shimmering eq or the like. Any player found to have said
highlevel eq will be punished as well as the player that gave or sold eq to
that player.
~
0 COMPARE~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{RSyntax:{C compare <object-1> <object-2>
{RSyntax:{C compare <object>
{x
COMPARE compares two objects in your inventory. If both objects are weapons,
it will report the one with the better average damage. If both objects are
armor, it will report the one with the better armor class.
COMPARE with one argument compares an object in your inventory to the object
you are currently wearing or wielding of the same type.
COMPARE doesn't consider any special modifiers of the objects, such as hit and
damroll. An object with 10 ac would compare better than and object with
9 ac and +10 hit/+10 damroll...
~
0 BACKSTAB BERSERK BS DISARM KICK PUNCH KILL STOMP~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{RSyntax:{C backstab <character> {RSyntax:{C punch <character>
{RSyntax:{C berserk {RSyntax:{C stomp <character>
{RSyntax:{C disarm {RSyntax:{C kill <character>
{RSyntax:{C kick
{x
KILL starts a fight, and, hopefully, kills something. BACKSTAB is another way
to start a fight, used by thieves. BS is a synonym for BACKSTAB.
BERSERK will make you strike out at every creature in the room. It will
hit players as well as mobiles, so it's a good idea not to use this skill
while you are grouped.
DISARM is an auxiliary fighting command to disarm your opponent. Similarly,
KICK will inflict more damage during combat by kicking.
PUNCH will inflict a small amount of damage, and stun your opponent for a
short period of time. It also has a chance of breaking your opponents
nose or jaw.
STOMP will infict damage to your opponents legs or feet, sapping away thier
ability to move. A successful stomp also has an increased chance of breaking
your opponent's leg or foot. If they have no movement, they can not flee...
In order to BACKSTAB, DISARM, KICK or PUNCH successfully, you must practice
the appropriate skill.
~
0 ANSI COLOUR COLOR~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{RSyntax:{C ansi

0 STANCES AUTOSTANCE Viper Crane Crab Mongoose Bull~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{RSyntax:{C stance {RSyntax:{C autostance <style>
{RSyntax:{C stance <style>
{x
In combat, the stance of the fighter plays a very important role; you
can't just stand there and exchange blow for blow unless you are very
confident of your ability. Each fighting stance has advantages and
disadvantages, the basic outline of which follows:
{mVIPER{x: A very fast and aggressive style of combat, concentrating on
striking your opponent before they have the chance to avoid or block you.
{mCRANE{x: A wide, sweeping style of combat, which concentrates on a very
strong blocking defence.
{mCRAB{x: A low, defensive fighting stance which uses agile footwork and
rolling with attacks in order to reduce your injuries.
{mMONGOOSE{x: A light-footed stance, which relies on leaps and acrobatics to
ensure that by the time your opponent makes their attack, you've moved
out of the way.
{mBULL{x: A low aggressive stance which concentrates purely on physical power.

0 ADVANCEDSTANCE Mantis Dragon Tiger Monkey Swallow~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{RSyntax:{C stance {RSyntax:{C autostance <style>
{RSyntax:{C stance <style>
{x
Advanced stances can be learned after you have become a grand master in
two normal stances. These stances are much better than the others.
{MMANTIS{x: Requires {mCRANE{x and {mVIPER{x before it can be learned. This stance
combines a very strong defence with lightning fast counter attacks.
{MDRAGON{x: Requires {mBULL{x and {mCRAB{x before it can be learned. This stance
uses very powerful attacks, as well as protecting the fighter from injury.
{MTIGER{x: Requires {mBULL{x and {mVIPER{x before it can be learned. Probably the
most aggressive of all the stances, this style utilizes very powerful and
lightning fast attacks.
{MMONKEY{x: Requires {mCRANE{x and {mMONGOOSE{x before it can be learned. The only
affect of this stance is to completely nullify the advantages of your
opponents stance.
{MSWALLOW{x: Requires {mMONGOOSE{x and {mCRAB{x before it can be learned. This is
the most defensive of all the stances, combining agile dodges with the
ability to 'roll' with an attack, helping prevent injury.

0 STANCETABLE 'Stance Table'~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following table is a rough comparison of stances, giving a value
between 10 and -10, where the higher the number the better your chance of
victory. Cross-reference your stance from the left with your opponents
stance from along the top. Please remember these are only rough
estimates, and may not be completely accurate...

0 FIGHT FIGHTSTYLE~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{RSyntax:{C fightstyle <number> <style>
{x
This is used for unarmed combat, and it allows the fighter to decide on
their style of unarmed attack. Many different types of attack are
possible, each with different advantages and disadvantages. Your first
attack in combat always uses the first number slot. If you have a second
attack, this will draw a fighting technique from slots 1 to 4. If you
have a third attack, it will draw a fighting technique from slots 5 to
8. Any other attacks are randomly drawn from any of slots 1 to 8. If
the slot is blank (0) then the attack is a standard unarmed attack.
~
0 HURL~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{RSyntax:{C hurl <name>
{RSyntax:{C hurl <name> <direction>
{x
This ability allows you to hurl the target into walls, through exits, or
through doors. Hurling someone through an exit does a little damage.
Hurling them into walls does twice as much, and hurling them through
doors does three times as much. If you don't specify a direction to hurl
the target, it will be random (north, south, east or west). You cannot
hurl someone who is already injured.
~
0 SCAN SPY THROW~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{RSyntax:{C scan
{RSyntax:{C spy <direction>
{RSyntax:{C throw <direction> <target>
{x

SPY allows you to see all the mobs/players within 3 rooms in a specified
direction.
THROW allows you to hurl an object you are holding (in your right hand,
or if that's empty left hand) to a target mob/player in a specified
direction. The object can be throw up to 3 rooms. If it fails to reach
the target by that time it will land on the floor.
For information on the SCAN spell, type 'help scanspell'.
~
0 FLEE RESCUE~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{RSyntax:{C flee
{RSyntax:{C rescue <character>
{x
Once you start a fight, you can't just walk away from it. If the fight
is not going well, you can attempt to FLEE, or another character can
RESCUE you. (You can also RECALL, but this is less likely to work,
and costs more experience points, then fleeing).
If you lose your link during a fight, then your character will keep
fighting, and will attempt to RECALL from time to time. Your chances
of making the recall are reduced, and you will lose much more experience.
In order to RESCUE successfully, you must practice the appropriate skill.
~
0 EXAMINE LOOK~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

0 ORDER~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{RSyntax:{C order <character> command
{RSyntax:{C order all command
{x

perform any command. The command may have arguments. You are responsible
for the actions of your followers, and others who attack your followers
will incur the same penalty as if they attacked you directly.
Most charmed creatures lose their aggresive nature (while charmed).
If your charmed creature engages in combat, that will break the charm.
~
0 REST SLEEP STAND WAKE~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{RSyntax:{C rest
{RSyntax:{C sleep
{RSyntax:{C stand
{RSyntax:{C wake
{x
These commands change your position. When you REST or SLEEP, you
regenerate hit points, mana points, and movement points faster.
However, you are more vulnerable to attack, and if you SLEEP,
you won't hear many things happen.
Use STAND or WAKE to come back to a standing position. You can
also WAKE other sleeping characters.
For info on the sleep spell, type: 'help sleepspell'.
~
0 GTELL ; REPLY SAY TELL~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{RSyntax:{C gtell <message>
{RSyntax:{C say <message>
{RSyntax:{C tell <character> <message>
{x
All of these commands send messages to other players. GTELL sends a message
to all of the characters in your group, wherever they are, even if they are
sleeping or stunned or dying. ';' is a synonym for GTELL.
SAY sends a message to all awake players in your room. The single quote '''
is a synonym for SAY.
TELL sends a message to one awake player anywhere in the world.
REPLY sends a message to the last player who sent you a TELL. REPLY will work

{RSyntax:{C answer <message>
{RSyntax:{C shout <message>
{RSyntax:{C yell <message>
{x
These commands send messages through communication channels to other players.
SHOUT sends a message to all awake players in the world. To curb excessive
shouting, SHOUT imposes a three-second delay on the shouter.
AUCTION, CHAT, MUSIC, and QUESTION and ANSWER also send messages to all
interested players. '.' is a synonym for CHAT. The QUESTION and ANSWER
commands both use the same 'question' channel
YELL sends a message to all awake players within your area.
You can use the CHANNELS command to hear, or not hear, any of these channels.
See also: 'help channels'
~
0 ALIAS UNALIAS~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{RSyntax:{C alias
alias <word>
alias <word> <substitution>
unalias <word>
{x
The alias command allows limited shortening of command names. At this time,
aliases cannot call other aliases, and cannot generate more than one command.
Alias by itself lists your current aliases, Alias <word> lists the alias with
that name (if such exist), and alias with both a word and argument
produces a new alias. You cannot alias either alias or unalias to a new
command. Examples of use:
'alias gc get all corpse' --> typing 'gc' will equal typing 'get all corpse'
'alias ff cast fireball' --> 'ff vamp' will equal 'cast 'fireball' vampire'
Only the first word on the line will be substituted at this time.
Use the following to add a personalized tag to your channels, as seen by others
'alias ooc ooc {{R*Your Name*{{B' --> the last color code must match the
proper color of the original channel
~
0 EMOTE , POSE SOCIAL ROOMPOSE~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{RSyntax:{C emote <action>
{RSyntax:{C pose <action>
{RSyntax:{C roompose <long description>
{x
EMOTE is used to express emotions or actions. Besides EMOTE, there are
several dozen built-in social commands, such as CACKLE, HUG, and THANK.
POSE is a variant of EMOTE.
ROOMPOSE takes the place of your 'is here' long description when someone looks
at a room. If you type 'roompose is standing on his head, humming.' it will
display the following when someone walks into, or looks in a room.
Puff is standing on his head, humming.
If you walk out of the room, or drop yourself into a fighting stance, your
roompose description will default back to 'is here' or 'is croutched in a...'
You may want to use an alias to define common custom roomposes, if you like.
The first abuse of these IC RP roomposes, is immediate loss of rpstatus/rpts.
'roompose IS GOD!' or any similar will not be tolerated.
~
0 HOLD REMOVE WEAR WIELD~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{RSyntax:{C hold <object>
{RSyntax:{C remove <object>
{RSyntax:{C wear <object>
{RSyntax:{C wear all
{RSyntax:{C wield <object>
{x
Three of these commands will take an object from your inventory and start using
it as equipment. HOLD is for light sources, wands, and staves. WEAR is for
armor. WIELD is for weapons.
WEAR ALL will attempt to HOLD, WEAR, or WIELD each suitable item in your
inventory.
You may not be able to HOLD, WEAR, or WIELD an item if its alignment does not
match yours, if it is too heavy for you, or if you are not experienced enough
to use it properly.
REMOVE will take any object from your equipment and put it back into your
inventory.
~

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This command allows you to configure your prompt. The PROMPT command
will set your standard prompt. You also have the option of having a
combat prompt, CPROMPT, which will appear while fighting. If no cprompt
is defined, the standard prompt will be used for both conditions.

prompts with 'prompt on' and 'prompt off'. Doing this will not destroy
your customised prompts.
~
0 PRIMAL~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Primal energy is the ultimate form of energy in the multiverse, the one from
which all other energies are derived. Unfortunately, unlike mana, primal
energy is only one use, and is generally used for very powerful spells, such
as 'voodoo' (which uses 5 points), 'quest' (which uses between 1 and 100),
and class skills for vampire and werewolf.
formula: n(500+(n-1)250)

0 Garou WEREWOLF WEREWOLVES~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the beginning of things, Gaia - the world and the spirit that embodies it -
set all things in a balance that would maintain and encourage life. Near the
top of this chain of being was humanity, and above them were the Garou - the
sacred warriors of the spirit. They were appointed to be the crusaders against
the Wyrm, who spreads its cancer through the humans. They are the preservers of
raw essence of life, of nature's diversity and purity. They are the Earth's
immune system, fighting the disease of the Wyrm. They are the werewolves, and
they fight and destroy the children of the Wyrm (vampires) at every opportunity.
* Claw - Transforms target into a werewolf, but costs 1000000 exp.
* Introduce - Informs everyone in the room of your werewolf lineage.
* Howl - A special channel that only werewolves can understand.

* Totem - Lists the current totem powers you have at your control.
In addition, all werewolves can gain totem powers, which grant additional
powers. For more information, type 'help totems'.
~
0 Kindred VAMPIRE VAMPIRES~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vampires are the creatures of the night and thus take damage if exposed to
daylight. Vampires cannot eat food, or drink any liquids except for blood. If
they cannot drink blood for a long duration of time they will start taking
damage or maybe even go berserk, so it's a good idea to store some blood in a
drinking container. Vampires take half damage from cold, none from gas, and
double from fire, although those with the Heat immunity take normal fire damage
rather than double. Other abilities:
* Fangs - Gives free bite attack in combat, and required to 'bite' people.
* Bite - Transforms target into a vampire, but costs the vampire 1M exp.
* Order - As if target lower generation vampire of your clan was charmed.
* Introduce - Informs everyone in the room of your vampire lineage.
* Vamptalk - A special vampire channel which distinguishes between clans.
* Regenerate - Vampire cannot regenerate naturally; they need to use this.
* Vclan - Shows information on the other members of a vampires clan.
* Feed - For feeding other vampires with your blood.
* Drink - drink <mob|player> to satiate the craving of blood
The VAMPIRE command toggles on/off whether vampires may bite/feed you.

0 MAGE MAGES~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mages are those who study the greatest of magicks. Their spells are far greater
than those of a non-mage, as well as far more flexible. Some of the main
features of mages are as follows:
* Spheres - Additional spells and skills based on sphere.
* Spell Power - Normal spells cast at a greater level.
* Sphereaff - Displays the Sphere powers affecting yourself.
* Focistat - Displays Spheres currently stored in your Foci.
Lurf Mages are nothing like standard GodWars Mages, the entire system was coded
from scratch.

0 Protocols~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is a list of Protocols by which all Tradition mages should consider when
doing anything:
1. Respect those of Greater Knowledge.
2. A Tutor's debt must be repaid.
3. A mage's Word is his Honor; break not a Sworn Vow.
4. The Will of an Oracle must always be obeyed.
5. Betray not your Cabal or Chantry.
6. Conspire not with enemies of Ascension.
7. Protect the Sleepers; they are ignorant of what they do.
8. Be subtle in your arts, lest Sleepers know you for what you are.
~
0 Spheres Arete~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All mages begin with a free dot in their Tradition's specialty Sphere. Spheres
are essential to a mage, for they are the basis of all the magical effects the
mage can conjure. In actuality, Spheres represent the ways in which a mage
understands reality better than do sleepers. By using his will in conjunction
with this knowledge, a mage may create effects which mundane people can only
call magic. Spheres, like disciplines are categorized as basic, intermediate
and advanced. The following spheres are available:
* Correspondence * Life * Prime
* Entropy * Mind * Spirit
* Forces * Matter * Time
The Arete Trait is probably the most important of all a mage's Traits. It
embodies what mages are all about - understanding the truth of reality. Varying
levels of enlightenment among mages and disputes about what is right for
mankind, have pitted mage against mage in recent times, but Arete is still the
main pursuit of workers of magic.

0 FOCI FOCUS~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each point of Arete indicates that a mage no longer needs to rely on certain
foci to use magic. Beginning at two Arete Traits, a mage may use one Sphere
(chosen by player) while holding that foci. At three Traits, two Spheres may be
used while holding a focus, and so on. With 6 arete, you can have 5 spheres
with your level 6 foci. After 500 hours, each additional 100 hours, a mage may
gain a new sphere until all 9 spheres are possible, and foci no longer needs to
be held.
~
0 BEAST~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vampires, like mortals, are creatures of instinct. However, the instincts of
the vampire are those of a hunter, not a gatherer. Vampires are the ultimate
predators and stand at the apex of the food chain. They are highly developed
killing machines - the harbringers of death. For vampires to survive in modern
society, however, they must learn to keep the Beast in check. The instincts of
violence (the Beast) so essential in the wild serve only to endanger the vampire
in today's complex world. The Beast's rage has its uses, but the blindness it
creates far outweighs its benefits. Vampires struggle to suppress the Beast,
but, no matter how hard they try, they do not always prevail, and when it gets
loose, the havoc it creates goes far beyond the horror of any mortal rage.
~
0 FAVOUR SIRE~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{RSyntax:{C favour <target> <sire/prince/primogen/justicar>
{x
Favour is an ability available to second generation vampires and vampire
princes.
SIRE allows the target vampire of your clan to sire another vampire.
Once a single vampire has been created the power is lost, but can be
granted again if the Antediluvian or Prince so desire. A childe sired
without permission is known as an Anarch.
PRINCE turns the target vampire into a prince, who is then able to allow
other vampires the ability to sire more vampires still. Only an
Antediluvian has the power to make some a prince (or to remove the
prince's powers).
ACCEPT will accept a childe into the clan, making them a Neonate.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The First Tradition - The Legacy - Thy blood is that of Dominion, cursed by
God, blessed by Lilith. To seek to change your state or to return to that of
you mortal life is a sin against thy Father and Mother, and against thy God.
The Second Tradition - Destruction - Thou art forbidden to destroy another of
thy kind who is thy elder. Those close to Dominion know his will, and may
destroy any childer who are unfit in his sight. Do not rise against an elder.
The Third Tradition - Progeny - Thou shalt only sire another with permission
of thy elder. If thou createst another without thine elder's leave, both
thou and thy progeny shall be slain.
The Fourth Tradition - Accounting - Those thou create are thine own childer.
Until thy progeny shall be released, thou shalt command them in all things.
Their sins are thine to endure.
The Fifth Tradition - Domain - Thy domain is thine own concern. All others
owe thee respect while in it. None may challenge thy word while in thy
domain. When thou cometh to the fief of another, thou shall present thyself
to the one who ruleth there.
The Sixth Tradition - The Silence of Blood - Thou shall not reveal thy true
nature to those not of the Blood. Doing so shall renounce thy claims of
Blood.

and does not actually render the users invisible, the end result is much
the same. Obfuscate is the opposing Discipline to Auspex, and they
cancel out many of each others powers.
Kindred with this power gain the following advantages:
* Mask: Allows you to disguise yourself as another player.
* Shield: Protects you from the Auspex 'scry' and 'readaura' powers.
* Mortal: Switches between vampire and mortal mode. While in mortal
form, you loose all vampire advantages and disadvantages, and are
undetectable from a normal mortal.

mist. A vampire can use most other Disciplines while shapeshifted, but
may not cast spells. Full transformation is not possible during combat,
although claws can be grown if you are fighting. While shapeshifted the
vampire cannot wear any equipment.
The powers available to this Discipline are as follows:
* Nightsight: Gives the vampire full night vision, which is much better
than normal infravision.
* Claws: Enables the user to grow inch-long claws on each finger. These
claws have no effect if the vampire is armed, however if not they cause
considerably more damage than a normal unarmed attack.
* Change: Allow the vampire to transform into bat, wolf or mist. Bat
form can fly and detect almost everything (invis, hidden, etc). While in
wolf form, the vampire enjoys the benefit of an extra 500hp and greatly
enhanced combat abilities. Mist form is impervious to attacks and can
pass through doors. Beware though, for two vampires in mist form CAN
attack each other.

~
0 Praxis 'Praxis Seizure'~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The right of Princes to rule, as well as the rules, laws and customs enforced.
Praxis Seizure is the attempt to take over the role of a current prince, by
forceful means. To declare a Praxis Seizure, you must publicly voice your
intentions and meet certain requirements. One, you must have a suitable
following of both your clan members, and the backing of other Primogen of your
sect. Two, you must defeat the current Prince in individual combat, to at
least a tie up, more favorably a decapitation if status allows. Lastly, the
approval of the Implementor, will decide if there is probable cause to carry
out a Praxis Seizure, and deem the new Prince as worthy to hold the title.
Failure of a Prince to answer and defend against a Praxis Seizure almost always
results in success.
Failure to carry out a successful Praxis Seizure will result in a free cap to
the Prince, if allowed by status, reduction to Status 0 for the challenger,
and the reputation for insolence and inconvience of poor Sect standings.

often finds herself deposed or killed in short order. The primogen are
formidable forces in their own right, and ceaselessly intrigue against each
other and the prince.

Certain ancient vampires withdraw from the sects' games altogether,
seeking solitude amid the wastes. These old ones, called Inconnu, reject the
power-games of the clans and sects, instead seeking self-mastery and
enlightenment. Some whisper of a darker purpose behind the Inconnu's withdrawal
from the Jyhad, but most vampires think of Inconnu as nothing more than deluded
recluses.

For example if you are equiping a mobile don't load a container in the room
and fill it with some objects and then continue equiping the mobile. It is
likely that resets will backfire if they are not carefully entered.
If you wish to reset the room then use EDIT ROOM RESET.

the bracelet of lloth 800000 100

The listed cost is per day, and is divided by hours of time you are logged off.
You must have enough Exp and Qpts saved when you quit, to cover the amount of
time you are logged off. You are not charged while you are online.
This will prevent artifact holders from either not logging on, not leaving
safe rooms and not actively exping or questing. This amounts to a minimum of
one quick exp run, and 1-2 quest card or aquest runs, per day. Not big deal to
someone worthy of holding an artifact...

1 'Aggravated Damage'~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aggravated damage is special magical damage that can not be healed normally
and takes longer to heal. Certain mystical affects may cause aggravated
damage to either a vampire or to a werewolf.
~
1 'Building Areas on Lurking Fear II'~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Areas may built by any non-Admin either online or offline. This in NO way
guaranties inclusion of your area to Lurking Fear II. We will only accept
areas that follow theme and are well written and thought out.
1) Online - In some cases, OLC may be made available under special case
basis. You will be granted temporary access to a separate build port.
This is not public access, and is not always available.
2) Offline - Use a offline editor, such as M.Z.F. in Merc 2.x format. Upon
completion, please consult an Admin for instructions to send file to Impl.
By building online, or sending offline files, you MUST agree to the following:
1) All areas become the property of Lurking Fear II. You will not be able
to demand removal of a included area, as rights to that area are no longer
yours. Credits will always remain intact.
2) Any or all parts will be properly edited to fit Lurking Fear II standards
or necessity, to include re-leveling or any other adjustments.
3) If in facts any changes are made, the new version will not be released to
anyone, including the original author. Any request for a copy will be
declined, except to author, who will receive original unaltered copy.
Failure to agree to any of these, should simply prevent you from building here.
You will probably find that this is a standard policy on most MUDs.

1 Monks Ninjas Dragons Highlanders Demons Drow Arch-Angel Angel Jedi Amazon~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lurking Fear II is a World of Darkness based MUD. The classes of Monks,
Ninjas, Dragons, Highlanders, Demons, or any other Non-WoD classes that may
be popular on other MUDs will not be found here.
Please see the helps on Vampires, Werewolves, and Mages.
~
1 'Combat Timer'~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Upon iniating or recieving PK combat, an 8 tick Combat timer is set. You can
not quit, enter a safe room, or transport objects during this time. If you
intentially go link-dead or otherwise abuse this, you will most likely end up
sitting at Market Square, not where you planned on hiding out.
~
0 TAG 'IT'~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{RSyntax:{C tag <player> - Start a game, or tag the next person if you are IT
tag show - Shows wether a game is in progress, or who is IT
{x
Sometimes life in the world can get a bit stressful, so we all need to relax
and play games from time to time. One way you can do this is by starting up a
game of tag amongst your fellow players. The rules are simple.
To start a game, an Admin will tag someone. The idea is then for players to
run around the realm trying to avoid being caught by the person who is 'IT'.
Only one person can be 'IT' at any one time, and when they catch someone, the
'IT' status is removed and the player they tag becomes 'IT'.
Whenever the state of play changes, ie. if someone tags someone else, starts a
game, or ends a game players are informed via the info channel.
Tag Version 1.1 was written by Voltec (Voltec@cyberdude.com) for EotN.
~
2 'Wait Timer' 'Delay Timer'~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{RA 'wait timer' has been implemented. From now on, avatared characters begin
in a holding state, where you can not be attacked, attack anyone, or do much
of anything.
It is just a few minutes long, so please just sit back, read your notes, read
the rules and policy, and reflect on how you can make Lurking Fear II a better
place by following the rules and properly roleplaying your character.

0 AQUEST AQUESTS~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Certain characters in the game will allow you to go on quests to recover an
item or kill another mob. To go on a quest, you must be in the same room with
a questmaster. When you successfully complete a quest, you will receive a
certain number of quest points.
The AQUEST command is used for information about your current quest, to request
a quest from a questmaster, etc. Commands are as follows:
AQUEST INFO - If you are on a quest, this will remind you who or what you are
after.
AQUEST TIME - Gives the amount of time remaining on your current quest, or the
amount of time until you can request another quest. This command may be used
anywhere.
AQUEST REQUEST - Petitions the questmaster to send you on a quest. If you
accept the quest, you will be given a realtime limit (in minutes) in which you
must complete the quest. If you are on a quest to kill a creature, when you
come across that creature you will see a [TARGET] notice before it. This is
the creature you are to kill.
AQUEST COMPLETE - Once you have completed your quest and recovered the item or
killed the mob or whatever, you must return to the questmaster who sent you on
the quest and use this command. If you have successfully completed your quest,
he will reward you with rpts and quest points. Once you complete a quest you
cannot request another for 30 minutes.

'Roleplay points' Rps cookie 'RP status' RPstatus
Level: 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Roleplay points will be given out by the Admin for good roleplay. Cookies will
be given out and eaten, much like quest tokens.
RP Status will factor in to how much exp you get per kill, as PK only status
once did. see 'help exp'. Your RP Status can be purchased by Rps at a cost of
20 for the first, then 20+ the last cost, for each additional. If for any
reason you hit the magic -10 RP Status, you character will be rendered
unusable due to poor roleplay.
If you need to have a RP Immortal present while you "RP", you may
type 'rpflag'. This is to let the Immortals know that your are in
a roleplaying session. Please remove this flag when you are not
in a "RP" session.
Additionally, Rps will be required in addition to primal, for purchasing class
skills (totems/disciplines/spheres).
You may also accumulate these points and use the following chart:

0 Nature Demeanor Archetypes~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nature represents your inner personality, your Demeanor reflects the way that
other people see you. Both of these traits might be the same, but most people
act much different in public, than they do in private. The Admin will use your
nature and demeanor to judge your ability to RP and award you RP points.

Sample Archetypes you may choose from...or create your own
Autocrat: Stability requires order. Bring it about.

Tyrant: The only way to get things done is to do them your way!

0 'Mob Standarization' standardization~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mob Standardization is the idea that all mobs of similar characteristics are
created equal across the board. This means if you come across an alley cat, it
is a low level, harmless cat. Not a level 100 kitty of death. Also, this means
that humans, as a race are not level 10 in some cities, and level 50 in others.
Of course cityguards and other notably powerful humans are not weak, but a
normal human villager and a normal human townsfolk are quite similar in stats.
As far as monsters go... This means that you will not find weak newbie wraiths
in some areas, and HUGE boss mob wraiths in others. All monsters are suitably
high level. Unless you are in the Mud School, and it says a small monster is
leashed here, the monster you encounter will not be scoffed at.
If you are a 15 Status Avatar, these high level monsters may or may not pose a
significant problem, as you have worked yourself much higher on the scale of
toughness and power. The same demons that would destroy a normal human being
are easily handled by an accomplished 'elder vampire' or such...
This entire process will still take some time, but the initial run thru is about
complete. Further mob tweaks, area theme, and 'higher level curving' will come.

wells throughout the Realm.
Food can also be purchased at various stores, or gathered from fruit trees or
berry bushes.

* WARNING * The area on this MUD are unlike the areas you may be used to. Don't
let any stock named areas fool you. The ENTIRE realm here has been totally
re-worked, re-themed, and modified. Please ask around before teleporting in a
random fashion, or running straight to a usually weak starter area, as you may
be unpleasantly surprised.
Also, this MUD is unlike other GodWars MUDs. If you are unfamiliar with the
GodWars type MUDs, you won't notice much. If you are, you may or may not like
the roleplay enhancements here. AGAIN, this is NOT a standard GodWars. If you
are in search of a PurePK, hack and slash...you will be unhappy here. If you
are willing to attempt to actually RP, you may be pleased with the changes we
have and the changes still yet to come.
Given some time to build up your char and get used to things here, you will
grow to appreciate the time and effort that has gone into this MUD. Thanks.

0 Auspice~
The phase of the moon under witch a particular garou is born; commonly thought to determine personality and tendencies. This also determines the garou's "profession" or role in werewolf society. The auspice are: Ragabash (New Moon;Trickster), Theurge (Crescent Moon;Seer), Philidox (Half Moon;Judge), Galliard (Gibbous Moon;Moon Dancer), Ahroun (Full Moon, Warrior).
~
0 Ragabash: The New Moon; Trickster~
Annoying as he may be, the trickster is the bringer of wisdom to those that believe themselves wise. By undermining tradition and authority at every turn, the Ragabash keeps everyone on their toes, teaching them the folly of self-importance and the wisdom of humility. Though other garou expect mischief from Ragabash, they don't often appreciate it. The tricksters are tolerated, but never trusted. New Moons are flexible, and that flexibility is their strength. This is not to say that Tricksters have no bounds; the Litany is sacred law, even to the children of the New Moon.
~
0 Theurge: Crescent Moon; Seer~
The crescent moon shines like a blade. In it's light, the Theurge, seer of the Garou, makes her peace with the spirit world. No other auspice shares her insight into the paths and perils of the spirit realms. Theurges are the tribal guides. Like human shamans of native cultures, Theurge werewolves stand aloof and mysterious, touched and set apart by the insight they have gained. Theurges often keep to themselves, muttering to the spirits, and have little time for common foolishness. These seers are planners, the thinkers, the diviners, visionaries. They may channel, heal or harm with equal grace. Without them, the tribe might wander until the Wyrm swallowed them whole. Their packmates know this, but keep their distance. Who knows when the wise one's eerie insight might turn in your direction?
~
0 Philidox: Half Moon; Keeper of the Ways~
As the half moon balances light and darkness, the Philidox straddles the line between wolf and man, Rage and Gnosis, passion and wisdom. The Philidox is the pack mediator, the one to whom the other Garou go for advice or a fair resolution to disputes. His honor is usually beyond question. As a judge, lawgiver and Master of Challenges, the Philidox is without peer. Philidox often make the best tribal leaders. Philidox closely nurture their spiritual center, savoring their ties to both flesh and spirit. In personal matters, they often hold their own counsel unless asked, but intervene immediately if they spot a potential threat to the pack. Philidox represents the best qualities of the garou. Their inner balance, however, can be their undoing. Some waxing moon Philidox become distant and aloof; conversely, many followers of the waning half moon have fragile, easily disturbed centers of balance. The balance-bringer's path is a tightrope, and holding the center is often a thankless task.
~
0 Galliard: Gibbous Moon; Moon Dancer~
As Luna grows full with rage, she bids the Moon Dancer to sing her song of battle and past glories. Heeding the call, the Galliard raises her voice against the night, summoning inspiration and fortune with her clear, perfect howl. Gilliards are the lore keepers, the entertainers, the artists, the singers of old tales and new ways. Spontaneous and inventive, Moon Dancers are the soul of the pack. They raise the others' spirits and remind them of what it is they fight for. Gilliards are often fierce warriors in their own right, blazing with Luna's passion. Whether her sacred dance is performed in a newfound glade or in an enemy's intestines matters little to a Galliard. Passion is the Gilliard's birthright. Those born under the waxing moon feel the passion of life and the joy of creation, while born under the waning moon feel the pull of carnage and revel in the darkness of their souls. Though all Gilliards now many subtleties of the Litany and the ins and outs of tribal lore, they rely more on spontaneous inspiration than studied learning.
~
0 Ahroun: Full Moon; Warrior~
{GAHROUN{x
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Ahroun is the vessel of Luna's Rage, the talons of Gaia's
fury. He is the slayer, the mad man-wolf. Rage incarnate.
Blood is his wine, war is his pleasure. In time, wisdom may
guide the Ahroun's hand, but in his youth, the Ahroun stands
atop a pile of corpses and howls for more. Ahroun will never
be known for their social graces, but inspiring presence and
physical prowess make them natural war leaders. Their affinity
for the inner beast often leads Ahroun to an early, if glorious
death, but pain can be a fine teacher. An elder Ahroun is one
of the most dangerous creatures alive. These are the hero's of
the Garou, the warriors of legend. Even among the most level-
headed tribes, Ahroun are known for their bad tempers. They do
not fear death, embrace it as a warrior's due. These born
fighters see themselves as the fists of the pack and the leaders
by natural right. Not all Ahroun are so callous, some keep a
handle on their rage and save it for the enemy. For most of the
children of the Full Moon, however, life is a battle. Nasty,
brutish and short.
{x
