Interacting

Our world is rich with detail and unexpected surprises.  To <look> at a person or item, simply type <look> <person's name> or <look> <name of item>.  For example, <<look> Endyce> will show you what he <look>s like physically as well as all his visible items. <look> table will give you a description of the table.  You can also <look> on, in, behind and under certain objects.  <look> on table will show you anything that is on the table, and <look> in backpack will show you what is in the backpack, etc.

Using the pronoun "my" will eliminate a good bit of confusion.  If you have a pouch on your body and there is another lying on the ground, <look> in pouch will default to the one on the ground, but <look> in my pouch will let you <look> in yours.

If you have more than one pouch, <look> in my pouch will show you the contents of your first pouch, however to see the contents of a second pouch, you need to type <look> in my other pouch or l<look> in my red pouch or <look> in my second pouch.

Similarly, when there is more than one of the same type of item in a room, you need to specify with either a number or an adjective, which one of the items you wish to examine.  <look> on table will show you the contents of the first table, <look> on other table will show the contents of the second table as will <look> on second table.  If there are more than two of the same items in the room, and they use descriptive adjectives, you can use them like this: <look> at red door, <look> at green door, etc.

You can also interact with items in a room with a surprising degree of realism.  <look> at the things you see in the room.  Many can be manipulated in some way.  Try to interact with verbs like touch>, drink, lean, get, kick, and so forth.  All chairs can be sat on, you can lie on all beds and, in fact, you can interact with all the furniture in the world of Thrael either through lie, sit, stand, or kneel.  

To get a list of verbs, type verblist.  Just typing adverbs will tell you all the ones we have in game.  Verbs that work with hidden exits such as holes and ladders and anything not listed in obvious exits are go, climb, jump and swim.

All verbs in Unwritten Legends follow a special format for using adverbs, targets, and inputs. The following shows the generic order, then some examples:

(adverb) (verb) (preposition) (target) (indirect preposition) (indirect target) (' or ") (input)

For example:

slowly wave to Endyce

quickly smooch Endyce's face

drag Endyce to arch

grimly say to granfalloon 'Hello. I am very grim.

Remember that some verbs don't take adverbs at all, like the ones used for combat.

Many of the mobs throughout the world can be asked questions, pick the right questions and they can be helpful, the wrong will get you answers as well, but not what you seek.  Many are trainers as well, so you might want to see if they can help you: train with (trainername).  Lecturers who will teach spells are found in special areas, your search for them will add to the fun of your gaming experience, but once found they will instruct you in how your spells work: ask (lecturername) about lecture to see how long it will be before the next lecture.  You need to listen to the entire lecture to learn.

To find players in game, you might want to <look> in inns and pubs, our local lushes can usually be found there.

Have fun and enjoy the wonderful world of Thrael.
