            The Underwater Caverns

The Scelestus River has eroded the earth beneath its ferocious waterfall.  
 
The water has pushed deep into the ground and flooded numerous caverns.  As 
 
the water stretched deep into the earth, it connected a maze of underwater 
 
tunnels and released old creatures from trapped pockets.  It is full of 
 
creatures for veteran adventurers to pillage.  However, many have ventured 
 
into these tunnels only to become lost.
 
 
Note: The creatures become progressively tougher the farther down into the 
 
flooded caves you venture.
 
 
Level Range: (Mid to High)

            Tips 
                                     
                - If you are a newbie read through the appropriate help files and politely
 
      ask questions of the other players. People have a tendency to help when
 
      you try and help yourself first.
 
 
    - Whining is the worst way to get help.
 
 
    - It always a better idea to practice a few skills to a high % than to
 
      practice a lot of spells to a low %.
 
 
    - At low levels, other than the illuminate spell, it is usually best to
 
      get offensive skills which will help you get more experience and
 
      practices.Don't forget about exercising!  It may be tempting to spend
 
      all of your early practice sessions on skills, but hit points and mana
 
      are important too!
 
 
    - First time players, Don't forget to turn on SEELEV and ANNLEV!
 
 
    - To learn advanced telepathic communications (gtell and commune), you'll
 
      need to find a psychic and ask them for help.
 
 
    - When practicing, be sure to check your max-skill-percentage &
 
      percentage- per-practice to see if you'll be getting a full practice
 
      sessions worth of skill increase. If not, You'll have to decide if it's
 
      worth a full practice session for only a marginal gain to your skill
 
      percentage.
 
 
      (e.g. You have kick at 90%, at which you can max at 95%, you normally
 
            get 10% per practice, is it worth a whole practice session for
 
            only 5% ??)
 
 
    - Grouping with people around your level can be a fun and prosperous way
 
      to to learn the mud with a greater sense of security. This does not mean
 
      you should beg people to power level you.
 
 
    - Make sure you reset your wimpy as your level starts to climb.
 
 
    - Most of all remember this is a game. Have fun!!!

            Triple Shot Skill 
                                     
            Dedicated rangers devote a lot of time mastering their skills. Through such
 
devotion, they are able to hone their abilities to the greatest of levels.
 
One such skill, is the ability to shoot three arrows in rapid succession.
 
This obviously conveys a good deal of power to the dedicated ranger when in
 
battle.
 
 
    Usage:
 
 
        shoot 3* <victim>
 
 
    Example:
 
 
        shoot 3* <?= %randPlayer() ?>

            Trolls 
                                    ( creation ) 
                         
            Trolls are the ugliest and stupidest of all races.  They are however,
 
often the strongest and most determined fighters around.  Typically they
 
are an evil race, based out of their underground sanctuary of Shayol
 
Guhl.  Trolls are very clumsy and stupid, and as a result it is very
 
uncommon to see a Troll that can do anything but bash.  Their
 
unparalleled toughness allows Trolls to gain more hitpoints per level
 
than other races, and regenerate twice as fast as others.  Due to their
 
lack of perception about the world, trolls will generally gain a lot less
 
practice sessions than other races.

            Twin Stab Skill 
                                     
            With this skill the budding thief can improve his initial advantage when
 
starting a fight. If the thief initiates combat with a successful backstab
 
then he will attempt to leverage this skill to perform a twin stab on the
 
victim. While powerful, the twin stab makes use of the off-hand piercing
 
weapon and so is not as powerful as a backstab.
