THROW
(aggressive throwing)
Syntax:
throw [direction] [at] <victim> throw <object> [direction] [at] <victim>
The throw command is used to throw throwable weapons or other ojbects at a foe. If you wish to toss something non-violently, use the "toss" command.
In order to successfully throw a weapon at a foe, you must have the throwable weapon wielded and you must be adept at the corresponding throwing skill for that weapon. For example, if you wish to throw a dagger, knowledge in the "dagger throwing" skill would be essential.
If you wish to throw a non-weapon at a foe, like a vial, grenade, or a boulder, you should use the second syntax for the command. While proficiency in the toss skill is not required to throw an item, it does help your chances of hitting your target.

TIME
Syntax:
time
Gives you the current 'gametime'. Your initial reaction to the output of this command may be one of surprise, but you will get used to it. You will have to, at any rate, since certain things in the game depend on this particular notion of time. The opening hours of the shops, for example.
