DEPART
Depart is a command which may be used when you are dead.
It should only be used when you have no hope of being rescued
and resurrected.
Although you could just wait until your body decomposes on
it's own (the exact number of minutes depend on your particular
race) departing allows you to shorten that waiting time period.
You cannot depart if a cleric has cast the Preservation
spell at you or if an individual pours a Preservation potion
into you. This spell preserves your soul and so it must
wear off before you are allowed to depart. Also note that
you can die a "spirit death" and end up in purgatory
if you use a certain secret society's signs which can drain
the last of your life force.
The actual time period allotted in minutes before decay occurs
-- assuming no preservation, departing or resurrection --
is as follows for each race:
| Dark Elf: 10 minutes |
Dwarf: 16 minutes |
| Elf: 10 minutes |
Giantman: 13 minutes |
| Half-elf: 10 minutes |
Halfing: 16 minutes |
| Human: 14 minutes |
Sylvankind: 10 minutes |
It is recommended that all adventurers have deeds in order
to reduce the penalties associated with decay, departure,
and resurrected. Type HELP DEEDS
and HELP DEATH within the
game for more details.
Very low level characters are protected from losing their
character due to the lack of deeds. However, it is advised
that low level characters do not rely upon this assistance
and find themselves deeds immediately.

DEPART CONFIRM
(This messaging is for when you DO have a deed.)
|
Slowly the world begins to dissolve into a grainy montage
of color...
[Purgatory]
You find yourself wandering amidst endless streaming light,
and vast nothingness. This place feels torn between two prophecies,
each vying for your loyalty.
Also in the room: All the spirits of those who could not choose.
Obvious exits: light and darkness.
Time seems to have no meaning as you wander aimlessly amidst
the uncomfortable tugging for your attention. Hopelessness
washes over dreams you once held like the creeping tide of
doom.
In time the Goddess Lorminstra finds you wandering the endlessness
of Purgatory and says, "For thy deed, my promise to intercede
shall be fulfilled." Taking you by the hand, the Goddess
leads you back to mortality...
Suddenly you feel an intense pain scorching your very soul!
The world of your past suddenly comes rushing back into your
memory. You are quite bewildered by what has transpired, but
alive...
[Hall of Rebirth]
Sunlight streams through the ice, illuminating the room with
clean, golden light. Faint rainbows dance on the walls, playing
across the huge mural hanging on the southern wall. The air
is still and cool, layered with peace and serenity. You cannot
help but feel calm here, as if something loving was watching
over you.
Obvious exits: out.

DISARM
This command is used to disarm traps on locks. When using
this command, it is recommended that you be trained in the
Disarm Traps skill.
Locks should be examined for traps, and any traps should be
disarmed, before they are unlocked.
When there is a trap, AND you have sufficient skill to actually
see the trap, you get one of several messages indicating the
type of trap. If a trap exists but your skill is to see it
is insufficient, you will not know a trap exists and it will
be set off when you try to open the lock with a lockpick.
When you have already disarmed the box once AND your skill
is sufficient enough to detect a trap, you may disarm the
box once again and try to disarm the trap itself. If successful,
you will get messages indicating the type of trap..
If you are unable to successfully disarm the trap, there is
a chance you will trip the trap and be injured or even die,
or you just may not be able to disarm the trap, and not set
it off.
|
|
DISARM MY <ITEM>
ex.
>disarm my strongbox
|
You carefully begin to examine the strongbox for traps...
Feeling around the inside of the lock, you notice that the
casing is coated with a rough, grainy substance. You lean
forward and peer between the walls of the casing. Examining
the lock closely, you notice a small bladder filled with a
strange liquid wedged between the tumblers. With your face
this close to the lock, you pick up the faintest scent of
sulphur.
|
Geratch begins to meticulously examine a scratched silver
strongbox.
|
|
DISARM MY <ITEM>
ex.
>disarm my strongbox
|
An attempt to disarm
a box which does not set off the trap:
Having discovered a trap on the strongbox you begin to carefully
attempt to disarm it...
The darn thing is built too tightly. You can't seem to get
the trap disarmed without setting it off by accident!
You still have a good enough picture of the trap in your mind,
that you could try to disarm it.
Roundtime: 44 sec.
A successful attempt to disarm the box:
Having discovered a trap on the strongbox you begin to carefully
attempt to disarm it...
You carefully use the tip of your dagger to scrape away the
rough, grainy substance which lines the walls of the casing.
After a few moments, you feel comfortable with the small section
you have cleaned. You take out a thin needle and carefully
slide it between the walls of the casing, taking great care
not to touch them. As the tip of the needle punctures the
small bladder, a strange clear gel oozes forth from the hole.
The gel gives off a strong odor of sulphur. As the air hits
the gel, it begins to harden and turn to dust, blowing away
in the wind as if it never existed.

Having found a trap on the strongbox, Geratch calls for silence

breath...
