The sun vanishes behind the southern horizon.
Hint: Some races and classes can cast 'faerie fire', which will hinder rogues from hiding.  It will also increase your ability to hit your foes.
The night has begun.
Hint: You can use 'offensive off' to stop from fighting back, and 'offensive' or 'offensive on' to start again.
Hint: Trying to remember what someone said?  You can use the 'recall' command.  Use 'recall ?' for a list of options with descriptions.
Autosaving...
Hint: Want to see what's for sale?  Try the 'list' command in a shop.
Hint: Type 'forget (spell name)' to free up a spell slot.  Alternately, you can 'forget all' to free all your spell slots.
Better get inside - this is too cold for man or -most- beasts.
Hint: Type 'score' to get some information about your character.
Hint: Remember to use your skills! Type 'skills' to see what special techniques you may be able to use.
Autosaving...
Hint: If you are an ethermancer, your purge spell is very effective against the summoned creatures.
Hint: Type 'spells' to see what spells your class is able to use.
Hint: To scribe spells into your spellbook, you need to goto a teacher mob, hold a quill and spellbook in your hands, rest, and type 'practice (spell name)'.  You can do it if you have another players book in your inventory and type 'scribe (spell name)'. - Tayna

Hint: -- MONEY -- Get a pick from a shop and go find mines on the map. They are shown as little m's. Type mine with the pick wielded. When you discover ore, you can sell it at shops throughout duris. Some shops pay more for the ore! By the way, you can go to a weaponsmith shopkeeper to repair the pick, which is far more cost effective than purchasing a new one.
