Ah! Another mortal, seeking adventure.  You should go through the Academy 
first to gain experience to face the trials outside.  Be sure to practice a
weapon first in your guild room, or your stay with us shall be very short 
indeed.  Type 'equipment' ('eq') to see what you are wearing, 'inventory' 
('i')
to see what else you have, 'skills' ('sk') to see your skills, 'spells' 
('sp')
to see your spells, 'supplications' ('sup') to see your clerical powers,
'rehearse' ('reh') for bards, and 'commands' for a full list of commands.
To communicate with other characters, the basic commands you need to 
learn are 'say', 'tell', 'reply' and 'yell'. 

When you encounter another player (PC), creature (NPC) or object, you can
'look' at it or 'examine' to learn more. You can also 'scan' and look 
around you to see if there is any danger. During your first five levels, 
'outfit' will provide you with some basic supplies and maps.

In particular, you will want to read up on how to 'get', 'wear', 'remove',
'drop' and 'sacrifice' the items in the world with which you will interact. 
This will also teach you how to 'put' items in containers. To find out about 
more advanced ways to interact with other people and things, you will also 
want to learn about 'compare', '1.', 'consider', 'kill' and 'target'.

There are a variety of settings on you that can be toggled. For example,
by default you will find yourself looting everything you kill. To learn
more about what you can do automatically, review 'autolist'.

Help is available on all commands and abilities. It is strongly recommended
that you go through all the helps at a low level, especially for first time
mudders. (99.9% of questions are answered in the help files.)
