JS-CHAR-RESCUE

The Char rescue() method is used to pull attackers off of a victim and on to the character that rescue() is called on. The syntax is:

<rescuer>.rescue( <damsel>, <option0>, ..., <optionN> )

Where rescuer is the character doing the rescuing, damsel is the character to be rescued, and options are the following:

'attmsg', <msg>   Message to attacker on successful rescue.
'dammsg', <msg>   Message to damsel on successful rescue.
'resmsg', <msg>   Message to rescuer on successful rescue.
'roommsg', <msg>  Message to room on successful rescue.
'odds', <odds>     The percent chance of success the rescue attempt
                   should have.  The success is modified by the difference
                   in power levels of the rescuer and the attacker.
'multiple'         Whether multiple attackers can be pulled off.  The
                   default is to attempt to pull off just a single attacker.

All of the rescue messages can take caret-substitution with #1 being the rescuer, #2 the damsel, and #3 the attacker.

By default rescue() uses a standard set of rescue messages if you do not specify any messages of your own. You can also specify null for a message if you wish that message to be silent. For example the following would give self a 50% chance of pulling one attacker off of its master:

self.rescue( master, 'odds', 50,
             'attmsg', "^n shimmers a little and ^2n suddenly looks like ^n!",
             'roommsg', "^3n isn't sure if ^3e is fighting ^n or ^2n!" );
