The kill command starts combat between players and mobs or other players. The fight will go on until one is unconscious, dead or flees the scene. IT MIGHT BE YOU! When fighting you will use whatever weapon you have wielded, or your bare hands. If your victim falls and is only stunned, incapacitated or mortally wounded, you must issue the command again if you wish to kill the victim. During the fight, you can issue other additional orders, thus giving your foe more damage. Attacking non-bob playing characters is considered a crime , but it is possible.
If you want to close something close-able, and open, just use this command. If it is not an item, but some sort of a door hatch etc. It will have a keyword, like 'close gate'.
Special info on all the people who deserves credit for thier work on the mud.
This command eliminates all empty lines. This may be a bit confusing, but some like it this way, anyway, it takes up less of the net. To enable empty lines just issue the same command again.

Paladins are church nights, they dabble in the divine sphere of the 'magics' and have a fairly good grasp of weapons and fighting skills. Paladins must be of good alignment in order to remain a good member in standing of thier church.
Clans are designed to accomodate relatively small groups of people who want to join together for a common purpose. Clan benefits include a home, a tattoo, a secure clan channel, a clan bulletin board, a clan donation chest, and more.
To start a clan the person who wishes to be the Clan Master simply goes to Douglas and uses the APPLY command. The application will get sent to the Clan gods who will approve it, write your clan home, and install it into Valhalla. When this is done you simply go back to Douglas and use the CHECK command. He will give the Clan Master powers to you and giving you the ability to induct members, expel members, retire, and more.
Any problems or questions regarding clans should be sent to the Clan gods, or failing that, to the mud administrators (see WIZLIST for names).
An entire law system is built into Valhalla. All players and all monsters belonging to any major cities, castles and villages are protected by the law. You are not allowed to kill or steal from people which are protected, unless they are caught in the act of stealing or killing PROTECTED characters.
If you witness a crime you can accuse the person which committed the crime at the city guard Captain. The Captain is usually located at the city guard headquarters. If a protected npc witness a crime it will walk to the captain and accuse the offender.
If you have committed a certain number of crimes the guards may attempt to arrest you. Once they handcuff you it is possible to attempt an escape by typing 'break' to attempt breaking the handcuffs.
If you have committed several crimes after having been declared 'wanted' you will be 'wanted dead or alive'. This means that you are no longer protected by the law system. At this point there will be a reward on your head, offering both money and experience for your death. All guards attack on sight. Players are allowed to kill you.
Once in jail you have to wait for some pretty strong friends to free you or for a long time to pass.
Your misdeeds are forgotten if you get killed or when you have served your jail sentence. But beware *any* crime reported after being cleared will make you a criminal instantly.

Channels are wholey controlled by the player. You can either make your own channel or check around and try to find a channel that someone else has started. You can type 'comm help' on line to get a copy of this help file.
To add a channel:Channels are wholey controlled by the player. You can either make your own channel or check around and try to find a channel that someone else has started. You can type 'comm help' on line to get a copy of this help file.
To add a channel:This command gives a complete listing of all immediately available commands. There might however be specific commands not listed here that are usable elsewhere.
At some point in playing Valhalla you will wish to communicate with other players you can do so in many different ways. You can speak out, shout (limit this, as most other players find it annoying), whisper to someone, ask someone something, or even telecommunicate to others. Beware that immortals or gods can intercept any message you deliver or receive. (although it is considered rude to do so!)
Say can be abbreviated to a '. Be warned if you forget this unfortunate things can happen, for example:
' hi GodMostly same as say, except this is directed as a character question. Only the character you're asking will hear the question.
ShoutThis is quite a powerful command. If you use shout, everybody playing on the mud will hear you! (except for the ones sleep, and those who have set themselves to nos). Limit the use of this! Many players (and gods) find it rather annoying when everybody runs around shouting to each other. If at all possible do your idle chit chat on the chat channels and not on shout Shout will use up some of your endurance points.
TellA very good alternative to shout. This enables you to communicate via telepathy with a character who for one reason or another is not at the same location as you are. No other player will hear this. Be warned that a player can stop receiving tells by using the not (no tell) command.
WhisperA cute alternative to tell if the one you wish to communicate with is at the same location. Unlike tell others will notice that you whisper something (but they will not know what it is you're whispering).

If you are wondering if an opponent is too strong for you, you might use this command to see if you would have even the slightest chance of fleeing. Some monsters are simply so strong that they may kill you in one hit and thus this command will help you know. Beware that the command does not consider if any nearby monsters will assist the monster you are attacking and nor will it know if the monster has any special attacks like breath weapon or spells. These are the risks you must run. The command assumes that you have full hitpoints when it replies with regard to the consider.
