How to use core actions

Core actions are the shared verbs every controller uses. In Discord, prefix them with !.

Look and move

Start by claiming a character and checking the room:

!claim Juniper
!look

The room summary shows visible characters, objects, inventory, and exits. Move by direction when an exit is listed:

!move north
!look

Carry and place items

Take portable objects from the room or an open reachable container:

!take smooth pebble

Put carried items into an open container, or drop them into the current room:

!put smooth pebble in woven basket
!take smooth pebble
!drop smooth pebble

Use and write

Use reachable mechanisms and objects:

!use burrow door with brass key
!use burrow door

The first command can unlock a matching lock. The second can open or close the door.

Write on reachable writable objects:

!write Meet at dawn on blank sign

Writing changes the physical object, unlike private notes.

Rest, wait, and talk

Sleep changes your character's state until they wake:

!sleep
!wake

Wait yields a turn:

!wait

Talk to the room or a present character:

!say thank you Hazel
!tell Hazel please guard the basket

Speech is world state. Relationship and mood systems can react to what was said and how it was interpreted.
