As all good games go, this one involves a lot of fighting. Most of this
will take place with what we call "mobs", or "non-player characters" (NPCs).
(The word "mob" is short for "mobile", it's a MUD thing, just leave it at that.)
Some fighting takes place between players, in PKILL or WARFARE. (There are
helpfiles for each of these, refer to them for more information.) In order
to kill another player, you cannot use the 'kill' command directly (that would
make it really easy to accidentally kill an innocent person). Instead, there
is a command used specifically when targetting a player:
Syntax: murder <player>
This will initiate your battle with a real, living foe. Several types of
attack skills may also be used to initiate combat, including area attack
spells -- which may cause inadvertant battles, so use with caution!
