Certain commands like take and drop support the qualifier 'all', which allows you to do something to a group of items. You also have pronouns you can use to cut down on typing and to make commands seem more natural. If you are not sure what the pronouns are referring, typing 'pronouns' will give you a list. This is a multi-player game, and there are therefore commands to talk and to interact with other players. The first of these you might use is 'say'. E.g. 'say what on earth is going on here ?'. You don't need to use quotes around the text in these cases. You can also tell paticular people things without any one else knowing, frequently useful for those evil plots and schemes. To tell a paticular person something you use the 'tell' command. For example 'tell eric Shall we kill Dave and split his equipment between us ?'. This brings us nicely to death, which is something that tends to occur a lot not only thanks to other players but also other beings who wander the game of their own accord. To start a fight you use the 'kill' command. It is also a good idea to wield a weapon in case you are attacked. Success in combat depends on your skill with weapons, on the weapon you are using, and on your stamina as well as a little luck.
