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.
Legsweep
LEGSWEEP <target>
Using the haft of your weapon, you will attempt to sweep your target's legs and knock him/her to the ground.
Shieldbash
SHIELDBASH <target>
Bringing your shield crashing down on your opponent will cause a good deal of damage, as well as the possibility of afflicting your target with a mental affliction. The larger the shield, the more debilitating the affects of the affliction can be.

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.

Primarily a defensive technique, this ability will help you attack multiple targets at once. This first target will be hit with a quick jab of the tip of your weapon, while the second will be delivered a blow from the haft.
If you are targetting multiple mobs, you can use fend to hit both of them with a slightly easier syntax. For example, if there are two orcs in the room, you can use FEND OFF ORC 2 to hit two separate orcs.

If a person on your enemies list attempts to move in a direction you are blocking, you will throw the person back with a shove of your weapon.
