Earrings of Sinope and various bugfixes
Written by: Maya, the Great Mother

Cheers to Shaitan for the below and other miscellaneous bugfixes.
First though, a change to the Earrings of Sinope artefact resulting from
abuse of its instant-travel capability. Rather than BRING, the Earrings
of Sinope now function with the command TRAVEL TO <the person wearing
the other earring of the set>. To use the TRAVEL TO command, you must
have balance and equilibrium, and you cannot be paralysed nor bound. On
the upside, the person being teleported to no longer loses equilibrium,
and the person teleporting does, but only half the equilibrium time as
the person being teleported to previously lost. If you purchased
Earrings of Sinope prior to this change and do not wish to keep it with
these changes, please email artefacts@achaea.com to request a tradein.
Recent bugfixes:
- Skullcap aura no longer comes up after death.
- Fix to POUR ONTO
- Changes/fixes to expressiveness and clothesline
- FURY stops when you die
- Firewalls no longer hit souls
- Soulspears no longer hit souls
- CAST SANDLING now gives correct message while flying
- UNWIELD while off eq now gives correct message
- Pluralisation fixes in SCORE/STAT
- FORDING into non-water room now gives appropriate message
- CAST FLOOD message corrected to account for flyers
- VODUN/PUPPETRY BREAK syntax now shows the correct skill
- GROVE GATE/PORTAL abilities changed to not be 'azure'
- GROVE DISPLACEMENT now respects elevations
- PUPPET TRAVEL disabled during worldgames as appropriate
And about 150 other small bugs and typos! Go Shaitan!
Penned by my hand on the 7th of Scarlatan, in the year 455 AF.
