Tipslash

 TIPSLASH <target> [limb] [toxin]

The most basic Warding attack, you will lash out with a quick slash of your weapon, delivering minor damage and a toxin from the tip of your weapon.

When used against another player, you can optionally specify a toxin to envenom the weapon with before attacking. This requires you to have a vial of that toxin and the Envenom ability.

This will prone a mobile, stopping it from attacking or moving for a short period of time.

Block

 BLOCK <direction>
 UNBLOCK

This ability will allow you to prevent movement out of your room in a specific direction.

Thrust

 THRUST <target> [toxin 1] [toxin 2]

A slower, more damaging attack than the tipslash. In addition if you have targetted a bodypart, you will follow up the initial strike with an additional hit.

When used against other player, you can optionally specify one or two toxins to envenom the weapon with before attacking. This requires you to have vials with those toxins and the Envenom ability.

Barge

 BARGE <target> <direction>

If your target is an adjacent location, you may rush quickly into his/her room, and shove him with you into the specified direction.

Battlecry

 BATTLECRY <player>

Your battle cry is so powerful that when directed against another, it will blast him to the ground, provided he is not deaf. If the target is already on the ground, the attack will stun him.

This ability can be used off-balance.

This will prone a mobile, stopping it from attacking or moving for a short period of time.

Quickjab

 QUICKJAB/QJAB <target> [limb|nothing] [toxin 1] [toxin 2]

Deliver two quick blows with the tip of your weapon.

When used against another player, you can optionally specify a limb to strike, and/or two toxins to envenom the weapon with before attacking. This requires you to have vials of those toxins and the Envenom ability.

If you target nothing, instead of a limb, it will override any limb target you may have already set.

Lunge

 LUNGE <target>

Starting off in an adjacent location, you may lunge towards your target, scoring a blow with the tip of your weapon.

Counter

COUNTER

While this defence is active, you will automatically counter-attack should you successfully parry an attack.

Deflect

 DEFLECT

This defence will allow you to block the next physical attack directed at you. Using your weapon for any other purpose will cause you to lose this defence.

They work on a last-on, first-off basis, so if you put aspartame on a weapon, and then put cyanide on, the cyanide would come off first, and the aspartame second. You must have the selected toxin in a vial in your inventory. In order to get rid of the toxins on a weapon, simply WIPE <weapon>.

Flintlight

  FLINTLIGHT <weapon>
  REHEAT <weapon>

This ability will aid you in dodging attacks that would knock you to the ground.

Piercelimb

 PIERCELIMB|PLIMB <target> <limb>

This slow attack will cause a good deal of damage to a target's limb.

 BASHIMPALE|BMP <target>

If your target is on the ground as well as encumbered or tied up in some way, you can deliver a quick blow to the head with the haft of your weapon before thrusting the weapon into him/her. The result will be a stunned and impaled target.

 STOP
