As is typical of most TriadCity commands, Groan searches for <thing> in a specific order, starting with the room you're in, then your worn or wielded equipment, then your inventory. So, if there's a box in the room, and a box in your inventory, the command "groan box" will refer to the one in the room, not your inventory. You'd need to use "groan 2.box" for the latter.

Groan can be modified with an arbitrary word of your choice. Usually you'll use an intensifying adverb as shown in the examples above. Note that Groan does not use this modifier as a search specifier when looking for <thing>. Instead Groan displays this modifier via the Game channel. Thus you can "groan deeply", "groan sarcastically,", and so on. You can also "groan 18373649" or "groan toothpaste-like", so, please don't. It's up to you to get the syntax right.
