Liquids and interactions with them command

Liquids can be stored in fountains or containers.

• Containers can usually be carried, so you have something to drink from during travels.
• Containers can sometimes be sealed with a cork.
• Containers and fountains can be poisoned or frozen.
• Fountains can't be picked up, but you can sit, rest, or lie on or in them.
• Not all fountains are infinite -- sometimes they can be emptied, and then you'll have to wait several hours for the fountain or container to slowly replenish.
• Dried up fountains can be filled, but they won't replenish on their own and will continue to dry up.

LIQUIDS Liquids vary in color, smell, and how well they quench thirst, and sometimes even hunger. They have different viscosities, and you can drink different amounts of sips at a time.

Alcohol (such as wine or beer) can make you drunk. The culture of Arcadia and many of their ancient languages are strongly tied to alcohol. Also, some gods encourage the consumption of alcohol. However, skills work a bit worse when drunk. You can check the level of current intoxication with the command score.

COMMANDS FOR WORKING WITH LIQUIDS

Format: fill container

fill container fountain Fill a container with liquid. If there's a source of water (like a river, spring, or lake) in the current area, simply write fill container. If a lake, river, or sea is spacious enough, you can throw the container into the water and then pick it up already filled (if it doesn't sink, of course). To fill a container from a fountain, write fill container fountain. A fixed keg or barrel works like a fountain, but a puddle or a portable container lying on the floor has to be named: fill flask bottle. Some containers, like a beer barrel from a tavern in Midgaard, hold more liquid than, say, a small flask.

Format: pour container1 container2

pour container1 fountain Pour liquid from one vessel in the inventory to another vessel in the inventory or on the ground.

Format: pourout container

Empty a vessel by pouring all its contents onto the ground. If there's enough liquid, a puddle will remain, into which you can sit or drink from. If there's something red-hot underfoot, it can be cooled.

Pour liquid from a vessel onto someone. After such pouring, the victim may start to smell accordingly (help smell).
