Home, Sweet Home Press [a] for the Quick Reference. Your home is a special building found in all the normal towns on the surface (Outpost, Morivant, Telmora and Angwil). In your home, you may stash goodies for future use. There are currently no limits on the amount of objects you may store in your home, but if your house gets too cluttered, then you may find it rather annoying to find what you are looking for. So be sure to tidy up from time to time. Your home inventory is actually only a single inventory. So while there are four houses belonging to you, the contents of each is actually the same (This unrealistic behavior is for smoother gameplay). Using Your Home When you first enter your home, you will see an empty inventory. To add items to your home, simply drop them using the d command and select the item you wish to drop. Similarly, to get items from your home, you use the g command and then enter the label of the item you want. After a bit of game play, your home might look like so: Home Item Description Weight Score a) 2 Soft Studded Leathers [5,+4] 9.0 lbs 514 b) Rhino Hide Armour (-1) [8,+1] 11.0 lbs 384 c) Cord Armour [6,+2] 8.0 lbs 342 d) a Dagger (1d4) (+0,+0) 1.2 lbs 3 e) a Main Gauche (1d5) (+1,+5) 3.0 lbs 628 f) a Rapier (1d6) (+4,+5) 4.0 lbs 876 g) a Rapier (1d6) (+0,+0) 4.0 lbs 21 h) a Cutlass (1d7) (+0,+0) 11.0 lbs 133 i) a Khopesh (2d4) (+3,+5) 13.0 lbs 983 j) 2 Tulwars (2d4) (+0,+0) 10.0 lbs 135 k) a Broad Sword (2d5) (+0,+0) 15.0 lbs 186 l) a Long Sword (2d5) (+0,+0) 13.0 lbs 171 m) an Awl-Pike (1d8) (+0,+0) 16.0 lbs 175 n) a Trident (1d8) (+0,+0) 7.0 lbs 81 (Page 3 of 4) g to get an item. d to drop an item. x to begin examining items. r to begin removing (destroying) items. Esc to exit. ? for help. Once there are more objects then can be displayed on your screen, the inventory will be listed in pages. Use the Page Up and Page Down keys to navigate. If your home is too cluttered, then you will probably want to clean up a bit. Now, you can certainly get items into your pack, walk outside, and drop them on the town commons. This is littering. It is also a bit of work. Sure, the townsfolk are poor and will eventually scavenge through your trash (once you leave, of course), but there is a better way to clean up, provided you realize that using this feature permanently destroys the indicated objects. This feature is the r command to remove items (permanently) from your home. Follow the prompts. You will be asked to confirm each removal (deletion) and you may not specify a quantity. Upon removal, you are prompted for another selection since it is likely you have more than one junk object in your home (If you are like me, you have much more than that!). Press Esc when you are done. The Museum The Museum is another building present in each town that behaves very much like your home. All four museum buildings share a common inventory just like all four of your homes. However, the museum accepts donations (d) but all donations are final: You are not allowed to take back your gifts! If the museum gets too cluttered for your tastes, you may tidy up with the r command. This permanently removes the selected object from the museum and this action can not be reversed.
