Smell

Syntax:
smell
smell [object]

The sense of smell is a primal sense for all creatures. From an evolutionary standpoint it is one of the most ancient senses. Smell traditionally allows all animals to identify food, mates, predators, and provides both sensual pleasure (the odor of flowers and perfume) as well as warnings of danger (spoiled food and chemical dangers). For all creatures, it is one of the most important means by which the environment communicates with them.

The environment on Accursed Lands is full of natural and man made odors. So take a moment to stop and "smell the roses" because they might not always be what you expect.

Listen

Syntax:
listen
listen to [object]

Just like in real life, rooms are full of sound. Some of the many uses for listening include: the song of birds in the air, the more menacing thumps of a large creature behind you, or hearing the distant shouts of a friend or foe. How well you can hear is based on your hearing stat. This determines how much or how far you can detect the myriad of sounds present in each room. You never know what you might hear, until you stop to listen.

Taste

Syntax:
taste [object]

All edible things in Accursed Lands have some flavor. Before trying a new food, one should taste it first to see if the flavor is enjoyable. The savoriness of foodstuffs can be determined only by being exposed to a small sampling of it.

Touch

Syntax:
touch [object]

Just like in real life, everything feels different. Many different objects in Accursed Lands will have different responses to your feeling them. You may discern things otherwise unknown about objects and creatures unless you reach out and physically touch them.
