Starting out

From LSWiki

Starting out on Lost Souls:

• The basic idea of what you want to do is get experience and gold coins. You do this by solving puzzles, killing monsters, and finding and selling treasures.

• You can move around with normal 'e, w, n, s, u, d' types of commands. There are also longer commands, like 'get shield', 'wear shield', 'wield axe', and commands that are for specific places or objects like 'push button', 'open safe', 'eat cake' and so on.

• Killing monsters is a lot easier with a weapon and some armor (and realize that you must wield and wear those, respectively). If the monster doesn't attack you first, you can type something like 'kill orc' and you'll start fighting.

• If you get hurt too badly, you will die. Try not to have this happen. Type 'help wimpy' to get an idea on how to avoid this, and 'help dying' for further details. Also, 'show character' will tell you how you're doing as far as health, intoxication, etc. 'show limbs' will give you how each part of your body is doing health-wise.

• There should be a Neophyte Handbook in your inventory (type 'show inventory' or just 'i') when you start. Type 'info book' for information on how to use it. It will contain more detailed information about starting out on Lost Souls.

• Type 'help' for a basic list of commands. Have fun!
