R1/Combat

From RockServ

Combat can be initiated when you see an NPC in the room. A button labeled Attack ______ should appear.

If you click it you will attack the NPC, unless you are in a safe room, or you lack the turns necessary to attack it.

When you attack it, you will see a report of yout attacks and your opponent's. Attacks colored white are expert hits. If the opponent is not yet dead, click attack ______ until your opponent is dead. You will recieve experience and the monster may drop gold, items, both, or neither. If you are too badly beaten up to continue fighting, leave the room, rest, and return. If you recieve the message

"Ack! You're DEAD! [That's A Bad Thing]"

that means you got yourself killed. You lose a fractional portion of your experience, all items on hand, all gold, and one life.

When you are killed by an NPC, they increase one level.
