6.2.1 Things

Interacting with items and denizens in Starmourn is fairly intuitive. The most important commands, all covered below, are: INFO HERE, LOOK/EXAMINE/PROBE, GET, DROP, GIVE, and PUT.

IH <thing>
INFO HERE <thing>
-----------------
These both do the same thing: show you a list of what items are in the room, along with their numbers. Whenever you interact with an item or a denizen, you can either refer to it by name, such as "merchant," or by number, such as "472," or by a combination of both, such as "merchant472." 


LOOK <thing>
PROBE <thing>
P <thing>
EXAMINE <thing>
---------------
This command will show you a variety of information about an item or denizen,
along with its description and whatever it is holding, if anything.


GET <thing>
GET <howmany> <thing>
GET <thing> FROM <container>
----------------------------
This will pick things up from off the ground, or from inside a container. Many props, and most living things, cannot be picked up.


DROP <thing>
DROP <howmany> <thing>
----------------------
Drop anything you are holding onto the ground. If you wish to only drop one of
something, you may omit <howmany>.


GIVE <thing> TO <whomever>
GIVE <howmany> <thing> TO <whomever>
------------------------------------
Give an item or items to someone (adventurer or denizen).


PUT <thing> IN <container>
PUT <howmany> <thing> IN <container>
------------------------------------
This allows you to put items inside another item that is capable of holding
items, such as a backpack.
