This will place the human character Andres in The Lobby:
>>> Entered The Lobby
Room: The Lobby
{Exits}
Pass of Azotus
{Humans} {health} {weapon} {armor}
Andres 53 5 0
The Lobby is a safe haven where no monsters enter and you can stay there any amount of time while your health slowly increments. But it contains no useful objects and has no action unless human characters fight amongst each other.
To exit to a different room type part of its name:
>> e pas
>>> Entered Pass of Azotus
Room: Pass of Azotus
{Exits}
The Lobby
Cell of Nathanael
{Humans} {health} {weapon} {armor}
Andres 53 5 0
{Monsters} {health} {weapon} {armor}
Prithivi 94 80 25
{Armor} {strength}
helmet 40
mail 45
gauntlet 25
In a room with objects you can pick up weapons and armor to improve your combat readiness, and consume food to improve your health. But if the room contains a monster combat will begin:
>>> Under attack from Prithivi
>>> Struck by Prithivi taking 46 damage [7]
>>> Struck Prithivi causing 1 damage [93]
>>> Struck Prithivi causing 1 damage [92]
>>> Killed by Prithivi
Any character (human or monster) that is killed will be respawned. Human characters will be respawned in The Lobby:
>>> User Andres respawned in The Lobby
