Great warriors can use this skill to smash the ground with their powerful
fists sending shockwaves emanating through the earth. The shockwaves have
the distinct reputation of being able to send nearby creatures not in the
warrior's party into unsconscious submission.

Group
( groups grouping rows )
Grouping is a terrific way to increase your odds of survival in the Worlds of
Carnage. As the saying goes, "United we stand, divided we fall." By grouping
with other adventurers you will increase your likelihood of defeating monster
that stand in your way. Additionally, the experience gained by killing such
within a group exceeds that of killing alone since you must negotiate a more
complex set of social and tactical skills.
If you are a member of a group, then you will share in any experience points
gained by defeating creatures in the world. Experience points will only be
shared amongst group members that are in the same location, at the time of the
killing blow. A group member need not participate in the battle to receive a
share.
Experience is not divided equally amongst group members. You will receive
share based on your existing experience and thus, in more general terms, based
on your ability to contribute to a fight.
Usage:
group - displays current grouping hierarchy
group <target> - toggles whether target is in your group
group all - all followers become group members
group disband - disbands the group including any followers
All players are by default a member of their own group and they cannot remove
themselves from their group (simple logic). Any given player may become a
leader by grouping any of their followers. Unlike many other muds, the Worlds
of Carnage supports subgroups. For instance if group leader A follows group
leader B, and group leader B groups A, then A and all of A's group members
become group members of B. That said, if B then ungroups A, then A retains
their original group. This system can work to any level of subgroups.
Example:
Tarkin and Blobbie follow Pazam who is going to be their leader:
Tarkin - follow Pazam
Blobbie - follow Pazam
Pazam - group all
Now if Pazam types group, then he will see the following:
Your group consists of:
Leader: [0001] Pazam is in excellent condition.
[0001] a town dweller is in excellent condition.
[0001] a busybody is in excellent condition.
Alternatively the same result could have been obtained by the following
sequence of commands:
Tarkin - follow Pazam
Blobbie - follow Pazam
Pazam - group Tarkin
Pazam - group Blobbie
Later when Pazam gets upset at Blobbie (because he is an experience hog
and just generally a pain in the ass ;p) he types:
group blobbie
which has the nice effect of kicking Blobbie out of the group. Then again
later when Tarkin starts to annoy him and he gets tired of seeing Blobbie
following along he types:
group disband
To completely get rid of Blobbie and Tarkin.
Note that when disbanding a group, charmed followers will not stop following
you. This is contrary to the normal behaviour.
By default players inhabit a row one of any group. This positioning can be
changed via the row command. For instance to move to row five you would just
type row 5. Mages and other characters will find being in the a rear row to be
strategically advantageous since they will be able issue ranged attacks
without incurring melee combat. On the other hand, any players in the first
row of a group, will engage in melee with the target of any such ranged
attacks. If you issue a melee attack, then you will automatically move up to
the front row to engage your opponent. Typically, you will have row 1, row 2,
row 3, etc... but, if you find yourself with just rows 2 and rows 4, row 2
will be the 'front row' and act as row 1. If all of the 'front row' players
flee or are killed, the next row numerically advances to the 'front line'.

Grow Spell
Mana Cost : 70 Target : victim
Save : None
Effect : Woohoo no more Mr. Midget
This spell causes the victim to grow in size. Various features of the game
depend on size. For instance bigger creatures are more capable of performing
headbutts and the like. Additionally, bigger creatures are not so susceptable
to physical displacement (think whirlwind). Smaller creatures have a better
defensive bonus since they can quickly scurry out of the way of some giant's
fist. Shrink spell cures growth and vice versa.

Haunted Sea
( area )
Creator: <?= %areaGetStat( arknum, creator ) ?>
Continent: <?= %areaGetStat( arknum, continent ) ?>
Anyone venturing out the northern gate of Sundhaven will discover
the Haunted Sea. A body of water filled with a variety of sea
creatures. However, use caution when exploring these cursed waters.
Rumors tell the tale of a ghost Vasseur and his pirate crew still sailing
this sea. Furthermore, sailors talk about ships being attacked while
crossing these waters. Some ships have been sunk to the murky abyss,
leaving voyagers as easy prey for vicious sharks swimming the area.
There's a withered old man who runs a ferry boat across the sea. His
ship not at the dock? Raise the lamp and hope he sees it!
Level Range: (Mid to High)
