For use in the receptions of inns. The command 'offer' will make the innkeeper tell you the cost of storing your carried items for one day. 'rent' will store the items and make you leave the game. The next time you enter, you will start out in the reception where you left.
While your items are in rent, the Inn will charge rent for each day that you store your items there. Therefore, you may return to find that you have no items left if you ran out of money to pay your rent. We have reduced rent rates considerably from what they used to be, however, so the rates should be manageable.
