USE:

  1. Use form one when there's no possible ambiguity. In the example, there's only one guard in the current room.
  2. Use form two or three when more information is needed to interpret the command - that is, there's more than one possible target by the same name to which the command could be applied. In the example, there's a tall guard, a short guard, a skinny guard, etc.
  3. Use form two or three when more information is needed to interpret the command - that is, there's more than one possible target by the same name to which the command could be applied. In the example, there's a tall guard, a short guard, a skinny guard, etc.
  4. Use form four when there are many instances of <target> present, and you want to sting one of them in particular.

You must be wielding a String to use the String command.

Stings are lethal: they're vicious razor-sharp weapons belonging to spiders, killer insects, and other predators. Initiating a fight while wielding one is likely to result in the death of your opponent - or yours.

In TriadCity, violence nearly always causes alignment drift toward evil. It's possible to become very evil very fast if you initiate lots of attacks. See the player guide for exceptions.

There are many conditions which could prevent you from being able to sting a particular target. You may be too tired, or paralyzed, or blinded and unable to find the target. The Game channel will inform you of the outcome of your command.

As with many other TriadCity commands, your expertise with the Sting Skill will determine how effective your attempts to use the Sting command will be.

"In his essay on Dante, Eliot writes that he learned from Baudelaire how to use the city in his poetry to evoke a sense of an urban hell in the modern world. Baudelaire revealed [...] 'the possibility of fusion between the sordidly realistic and the phantasmagoric, the possibility of the juxtaposition of the matter-of-fact and the fantastic.'"
