SEARCH
(Thief skill)
[Delayed Command]
The search skill enables you to search for otherwise hidden
people, exits and
objects in the room.
Searching isn't as easy as it might seem. There are numerous tricks you can learn about how people and creatures hide their treasures, or doors, traps or even themselves! Knowing how to find hidden entrances or exits is important for any adventurer, I tell you.
A brilliant mind and good eyesight are quite important when learning this.
Searching for hidden exits
With a given direction, you search for a secret door in that way. The better you are, the more likely you will find something (if there is anything to discover).Example:
>search down>open <secret>
Searching for hidden objects
search with no arguments finds any
object hidden in the room,
depending on your skill. If you know what you are looking for,
reveal is a better
alternative.
Example:
>search>reveal sword
Searching for hidden people
Typesearch
<effort>
(where <effort>
is one of quickly, fast, normally,
carefully, or thoroughly) to look for hidden people.
Your chances of success will depend on your eyesight, hearing and sense of
smell, as well as on your search skill.
Example:
> search q
A succesful search will only make the hidden character known to you. See
reveal to make it
known to your group.
