CONTAINERS

Usage: put/get <item/all> <container>

look in/examine <container>

open/close <container>

lock/unlock <container>

You can also type get all.potion <container> or get 4.potion <container> to

get all, or just the 4th potion from the top of a container.

Containers are very useful because they offer you a way to carry more of your

belongings around. Some of them can even be worn on different positions,

mostly about the body, like a backpack, but there are also items like cache

rings. You always have to remove a wearable container before using it.

Some of the containers, like chests, are too heavy to carry around. There are

also other types of containers that are stationary, like holes, caches,

cubbyholes, shelves, ledges... Many of these are used for quests, and don't

show up as objects in the room. There will always be a hint about them in the

descriptions, however, so read those carefully, especially if you suspect that

there is a hidden container in the room.

Containers often cause a bit of grief however.

Sometimes there are several containers in a room, for instance several chests,

or several bottles. To deal with this problem, you will have to type look in

2.chest, look in 3.bottle, etc.

A container in your inventory always shows up by the code before the one that

might be in the room. So if you carry a bag and there's also a bag in the room

then examine bag will show you the contents of the one in your inventory.

Examples: look in bag

get bread backpack

open chest

lock drawer
