GAIN
Syntax:
talk guildmaster gain
Whenever you have accumulated the experience points needed to get your next level, you must go to your guildmaster and GAIN. This will advance you to your next level, give you your hit points, practices, and modify your abilities (such as THAC0 or backstab multiplier). Until you GAIN, you may not gain any more experience points than those needed to place you one away from the next highest level.
Again, you do NOT automatically gain a level when you get enough experience points -- you must find your guildmaster and talk to him to gain. As you get higher in level, the lower level guildmasters will be unable to teach you anymore and you must find more wiser guildmasters. These higher level guildmasters are often harder to find so you should always keep an eye out for them as you travel.

GATE
Syntax:
cast <gate> <victim>
This spell will open a "gate" between the locale in which you stand and your target "victim". Once a gate has been opened, anyone can enter it by typing "enter gate". NOTE: The gate is bidirectional.

GET
(also TAKE)
Syntax:
get <item name(s)> [[from] <container name>]
If you find something interesting on the ground, you may use 'get' to pick it up. For example, "get greatsword". If you are in a hurry, or if you just feel very greedy, you may type "get all". You can also use 'get' to extract objects from containers. Example: 'get dagger from bag'.
Other examples:
get all.bread from bag get 9*bread from bag get all from corpse
Items are numbered first according to what you have in your inventory, then according to what is on the ground. For example, if you had five swords, and two swords were on the ground, '1.sword' would be one of your swords, '5.sword' would be one of your swords, '6.sword' and '7.sword' would be swords that are on the ground.
GIVE
If you feel benevolent, you may give some stuff to someone in need.
Examples: >give bread beggar
>give 100 coins beggar
GLANCE
Syntax:
glance <victim>
This command works similarly to "look <victim>" or "consider" but ONLY reports the condition of the PC or NPC. This is handy if you are in the middle of combat, and JUST want to know the status of the creature.

GROUPS
A "group" is a collection of players all working together to adventure. If you are a group member, then you will share experience points for killing monsters equally among the group. Experience points will only be shared among group members that are in the same location, at the time of the killing blow. Sharing is regardless of whether the group members have been participating in the fight.
Use the found command to found a new group and the accept command to add new people into your group. There are also various other group related commands that can be helpful. See the "see alsos" for more information.
Syntax:
group
Group with no argument show a list of people with whom you are grouped, along with a summary of their hit, mana, and movement points.

GTELL
Syntax:
gtell <text>
If you belong to a group and would like to tell everyone in it something, this is the best command to use. It will get the message to everyone in your group regardless of what room they are in.
See also: COMMUNICATIONS · GROUP · REPORT · TELL
GUARD
Syntax:
guard <target name>
When your character is guarding someone, whenever he or she is attacked, and your character is in the same room, your character will automatically attempt a rescue.
In order to use this skill properly, it is usually best if you know the rescue skill as well. If you do not, your character will merely assist the character being attacked, as opposed to rescuing.
GUILD
The Guildhouse is the place where mortals may go to escape the troubles and perils of a cruel world. Each guild is heavily guarded (HA!), so that only members may enter the building. Guilds are also the places where people come to learn and practice the skills of their trade.
GUILDMASTER
(also GM)
You can visit a guildmaster to advance your character's level once you have earned enough experience points. You spend practice points and learn new skills at a guildmaster.
Different classes have different guildmasters so multi-class characters may have to visit more than one guildmasters to level their characters.
