"There are several things to do on the MUD. You can kill monsters (aka
'npcs' or 'non-player characters') to gain experience, money, and equipment.
Experience is used to advance your character, equipment is used to help you
kill more monsters, and money is used to buy equipment and food and drinks
to heal yourself. You can also work on puzzles or 'quests' which are around
the game. Quests are things like 'save the princess from the dragon'.
Solving quests will give you 'quest points' which are necessary to advance
your character. You can also just talk to people, hang out, or play some of
the text-based card/board/etc games found on the mud (see 'help games' for
a list).
If you wish, you may find and join a 'guild'. Guilds are things like
'barbarian' and 'paladin'. Joining a guild will give your player additional
abilities and powers. See 'help guilds' for information about locating and
joining guilds."

magnificent crystal building to the northeast. Again you see that many animals
have been here recently. It could be dangerous for you to stay.
There are three obvious exits, north, northeast and east.
A stallion.
A lizard.
A puma.
