Forests, Mountains, Hills, Beaches, Grasslands, Valleys, Swamps and Rivers.

Any other area is not suitable for a Sentinel to seek such a bountiful state of rest.

Syntax: BALANCING <ON|OFF>

In a fight it is essential to stay on your feet. Using this skill, you will be able to occasionally avoid being knocked to the ground. This will tax your mana and willpower in order to upkeep.

Syntax: ENVENOM <weapon|LEFT|RIGHT> WITH <venom>
WIPE <weapon>

With this ability, you may layer venoms on an edged weapon. Each time that weapon hits somebody, one venom will poison your opponent, and disappear from the weapon.

Venoms work on a last-on, first-off basis, so if you put xentio on a weapon, and then put voyria on, the voyria would come off first, and the xentio second. You must possess a rag with the venom in order to apply it to a weapon.

In order to get rid of the venoms on a weapon, simply WIPE <weapon>.

Syntax: BLOCK <direction> and UNBLOCK

Move into a position that blocks others from leaving your location, providing you are not incapacitated or feared. Should you move, you will cease to block.

Syntax: FLEXIBILITY

From your constant training you have learned how to remain flexible even in the face of adversity. While under the effects of an affliction that lengthens balance recovery, they will only extend your balance by half as much.

This ability is passive.

Your proficiency with the dhurive has heightened to the point that you can strike successfully with a single crippled arm. Having both arms crippled will still leave you helpless, however.

Additionally, should your target have the arrhythmia affliction, then any attack with your dhurive cannot be parried.

Syntax: DHURIV RIPOSTE <target>

If your opponent parries your attack you can instantly answer with another, though it will be weaker. This ability cannot deliver venoms.

Syntax: BACKFLIP

By tensing your legs, you can backflip away the next time you successfully dodge an attack, providing you dodge within the next few seconds of activation. You will leave in the direction you originally came from, bypassing any obstructions in your way, however if you were magically transported or were moved in a fashion that wasn't through an exit then you will be unable to backflip.

Syntax: DHURIV SLASH <target> [venom]

Running your blade along the exposed flesh of the opponent you can cut their flesh. The attack will position you for a follow-up attack with the other blade.

This will deliver a venom if they are an adventurer.

With a very precise cut above your opponent's eyes, you can cause blood to flow into their eyes and leave them blind. Afterwards you can easily position yourself for a follow-up attack.

Syntax: DHURIV TWIRL <target>

When moving your dhurive in a specific pattern, learned after hours of practice, you can cause confusion in your opponent by simply threatening to strike. Your movements also make it possible to strike with a follow-up attack.

This ability deals no damage and is not affected by the aura of rebounding.

Syntax: DHURIV STRIKE <target>

This quick strike from your dhurive will catch the opponent offguard, leaving them momentarily stunned and allowing you to follow-up with another attack.

Syntax: DHURIV CROSSCUT <target>

This long slice across the target's body will cause substantial damage.

If the target is an adventurer, the slice will induce impairment into their body. If the target is already impaired, then it will induce addiction instead as well as additional bleeding.

This will position you for a follow-up attack afterward.

Syntax: DHURIV WEAKEN <target> <LEFT|RIGHT> <ARM|LEG>

You may slice at your foe's muscles, inducing lethargy if the legs are struck and dropping their parry if the arms are struck. This will position you for a follow-up attack afterward.

Syntax: DHURIV REAVE <target>

This attack will allow you to strip the defences of your foe, prioritising magical shields and then the aura of rebounding. Afterwards it will strip at random. This attack will position you for a follow-up strike.

Syntax: DHURIV TRIP <target>

Tangling your weapon between your opponent's legs is a sure way to make him fall. This will allow you to make a follow-up attack afterwards.

Syntax: DHURIV SLAM <target>

Spinning your weapon, you can strike them in the head with the flat of your blade causing blunt trauma. This will cause the epilepsy and laxity afflictions in your opponent. You may perform a follow-up attack afterwards.

Syntax: DHURIV AMBUSH <target> [venom]
DHURIV AMBUSH <target> <direction>

This ability allows you to attack your opponent from an adjacent location, destroy the aura of rebounding if they are protected by one, and then follow-up with a second attack.

Against a denizen, you must specify the direction of your target.

This will deliver a venom if they are an adventurer.

Syntax: DHURIV STAB <target> [venom]

Only after an initial attack can you manage this quick stab at your opponent.

This will deliver a venom if they are an adventurer.

Syntax: DHURIV SLICE <target> [venom]

Positioning yourself properly with an initial attack, you can smoothly direct your other blade towards your opponent's torso to cause massive bleeding and deliver a venom.

Syntax: DHURIV THRUST <target> [venom]

This strong thrust at the opponent's torso will stab them with the tip of your dhuriv.

If they are an adventurer, it can can additionally deliver a venom and if they are suffering from arrhythmia, it will knock their pill balance.

This very precise follow-up attack will leave your opponent with a crippled throat, making it difficult to speak or make use of abilities that require the voice.

Usage: DHURIV FLOURISH <target>

After utilising certain abilities, you may follow the attack with a quick jab of your blade in a flourishing motion. You may make use of this ability while off equilibrium for no extra cost.

Flourish will work with the following abilities:
Woodlore: Icebreath, Daunt, and Swoop.
Tracking: Combust.

Syntax: DHURIV PIERCE <target> <LEFT|RIGHT>

With this single attack you are able to target one of your opponent's legs. This will first cripple the limb, and then if it is left untreated, it will then break it causing damage to the bone.

This skill can be used to target arms and cripple them. This first strike will leave the arm crippled, then if left untreated, the second will completely break the arm and damage the bone.

Syntax: DHURIV IMPALE <target>
DHURIV DRAG <direction>

If your opponent is prone, you can use this ability to drive your dhurive deep into their stomach. Your victim will be unable to act until they writhe free. Once impaled, you may drag them in a direction if you so wish.

You may WITHDRAW DHURIVE to remove your dhurive from your opponent should they be unable to writhe free, allowing you to act once more.

Syntax: DHURIV SPINECUT <target>

This move can be used to quickly end your opponent's suffering by cutting off their spine, finishing them off. To be able to use it, the opponent must be prone, suffering from confusion and arrhythmia and have both feeble arms and feeble legs.

If you have someone impaled upon your dhuriv, you can gorge them with your weapon to cause significant damage.

Syntax: DHURIV WHIRL <target>

This difficult manuever will first strike your opponent with your blade, similar to Slash or Stab. After a short delay, and while you are off balance, you will strike them again - leaving only a small window before your next attack. If you are hindered while whirling your blade, the second attack will not strike.

Should your opponent's rebounding aura come up, or should he shield, then the second strike of Whirl will raze it instead.

Syntax: HIDE and EMERGE

In the ebb and flow of the Rhythm, the hunter may become the hunted. Many scouts amongst the Sentinels quickly learn to keep to the shadows in their training, lest their elders catch them.

This will allow you to quickly conceal yourself from common view, assuming no others stand in your location. If you wish to no longer hide, then you can emerge from your hiding place.

Syntax: SIGNAL <message>

It is often said that the enemy has many spies; but none so cunning as to know the speech of birds and beasts. The Sentinel rangers have spent much of their time within the woodlands and vales of Sapience, and so have learned to mask their calls to their allies across the great expanses.

Masking your words, you can communicate in secrecy by twittering as a mockingbird or even the croaking cry of a raven for the enemy shall be none the wiser as the Wilds themselves are your ally.

Syntax: CLIMB UP and CLIMB DOWN

It takes a knowing hand and eye to move through the treetops, finding purchase in every lofty bough and making sure the wind doesn't buffet you from your perch. The Rangers will often tell the younger Trackers of their bone-shattering plummets from the heavens, but many claim it is little more than an attempt to 'put a scare' into you.

Should there be trees in your location, you may climb up into their treetops. You can then climb down if you wish to leave them.

Syntax: HARDINESS

Through their training, the Sentinels have become hardy in the unyielding and unforgiving wilderness that spans the breadth of Sapience. Your natural resilience has granted you bonus resistance to the harmful effects of cold and poisons.

Syntax: BARKSKIN

Make your skin tough as bark, granting bonus resistance to physical damage. This resistance is greater when standing in a forest or overgrown environment.

Syntax: COAGULATION <ON|OFF>

Anyone who spends time in the wilderness understands the value of a basic knowledge of first aid. Using this technique, you will cause your bleeding to passively clot while active, though it does drain mana in order to maintain.

Syntax: CONCEAL

By masking yourself in the shadows, you will be able to mask your movements to and from locations, concealing your identity from those who see you dart away. This defence lasts far longer when used within a forest environment.

Usage: WILDMARK CREATE <message>
WILDMARK MAINTAIN
WILDMARK CLEAR

Subtly altering the natural environment around you will allow you to leave a message that only Sentinels may read. This message will last only a few months, though you may maintain it to reset this timer. Alternatively, you may simply clear the present message. You may only clear messages you have placed.

Syntax: FORESTSTRIDE

You are capable of moving through the forest with incredible ease, granting you bonus celerity in any natural outdoor environment and an additional bonus within forests.

Syntax: REFRESH BODY

Usable only so often, you can call upon your inner reserves to refresh your body, granting you a temporary bonus to both your strength and constitution. If you use this skill within the limits of a city, you will also refresh a hefty portion of your endurance.

Syntax: CAMPFIRE BUILD
CAMPFIRE STOKE

Commodities:
3 wood to build
1 wood to stoke

When the fire starts to burn out, you may stoke it with extra wood to keep it alive.

Syntax: THORNSPRAY

While in a plant lush environment, you may fill the air with deadly flying thorns, damaging any enemy that is within your location. These thorns will additionally sting your opponent with the loki venom.

You may use this ability in the following environments:
Forest, Jungle, Swamp, or Grasslands.

It is possible to use thornspray within an overgrown location caused by a Shaman, however you will find that the damage is reduced.

Syntax: LIFESAP

When you spill the blood of another, you will recover a portion of the damage you dealt as health. Critical hits do not affect the amount returned.

You will receive the following effects while remaining at your campsite:
- Your campfire will no longer require stoking.
- The title of your location will be temporarily changed to match your site.
- Remaining in the treetops of your location will mask the presence of any allies, hiding them from sensing.

You may hide your companions in the undergrowth, concealing them mostly from view.

Syntax: CALL <companion>
DISMISS <companion>
CALL ANIMALS
ANIMALS

You are able to call and control up to two companions at once. Consult AB WOODLORE for a list of the companions you may use. Calling companions has no delay if used in a forest, a short delay if used in a non-urban environment, and a long delay otherwise as it will take some time to find your location.

If you get separated from your animals you can CALL ANIMALS at any time to return them to your side. ANIMALS will let you see what animals you have summoned, as well as their current location.

Additionally it will maul your opponents when it attacks, causing large amounts of bleeding and damage.

Usage: CALL RACCOON

While not as quick or powerful as other companions, the raccoon makes up for what it lacks in sheer strength with ingenuity - when an opponent attempts to consume a pill, it has a chance it will simply steal it away.

It will also bolster the chance of Entrapment slightly. Please see AB TRACKING ENTRAPMENT for more information on this skill.

Cooldown (on proc): 15 seconds

Usage: CALL ELK

The majestic elk acts as mount and surprising companion both, and will periodically ram your opponents, knocking them to the ground.

While mounted, you may trample a direction to bypass any blockers while simultaneously applying a stun to them. You can also choose to trample a prone victim to deal blunt damage and cause a crippled limb, cracked ribs, or a crippled throat at random. This can give all of these afflictions at once, however it becomes less and less likely the more are given from a single trample. About two is expected.

When ordered to attack an opponent, it will deal some cutting damage. Should the raloth attack an opponent that is prone, its horns will puncture their chest and leave behind a light wound.

Place the arrows you wish to use within your quiver using INQ, and then while wielding your bow, you can SHOOT a target within line-of-sight of you. You can use SWITCH to choose which of your arrows you will shoot by default.

In addition to the regular venoms, you may also use the sumac and loki venoms with a bow.

Arrhythmia: +30%
Raccoon assistance: +10%

Syntax: RESIN PREPARE <type> IN <cauldron>
COLLECT SAP
FILL <vial> FROM <cauldron>
FLUIDCACHE CONSUME <cauldron>

To begin preparing adhesive resins, you must first have access to a preservation room, have a chunk of hardened plant sap and inks to use as a base, and a cauldron to house the resin in.

First you must COLLECT yourself some sap from any forest room, which will be enough for one mixture of resin. Each resin will also require a specific amount of inks, which will depend on the resin you are trying to make. Once you have these two ingredients, you can then begin to PREPARE your resin, which will create the mixture in short order. Each batch will contain enough resin to FILL three vials.

There are two layers which can be adhered to a target's body with one resin application needed to create a single layer. The first layer, when ignited, will burn slowly and heat up over time, causing a negative effect on the target until it finishes burning. Once the first layer burns away, the second layer will ignite in a powerful reaction. This reaction is short lived and lasts little more than a couple seconds, but is generally more powerful.

For each resin, you can view their corresponding help file (AB TRACKING <resin>) to find out more.

A tough shell will begin to form, reducing the target's ability to dodge and divert while it burns. It will also improve accuracy against the target by 10%.

Hot burn effect:
The resin will rapidly harden into a solid state, forming a shell that will hinder movement for a few seconds before breaking away.

Color: Goldenrod
Inks: 3 yellow

This extremely slick resin produces powerful fumes when ignited, causing harmful effects to those that inhale it. As it reaches high temperature, the fumes become powerfully toxic to a weakened mind.

Cold burn effect (9 cycles):
If the opponent is suffering from dizziness, then the fumes will cause the faintness affliction.

Hot burn effect:
The resin will release powerful toxic fumes as it burns away, leaving the target stunned for a time based on each euphoriant cured affliction they have yet to heal.

Color: Navy
Inks: 3 blue

Highly viscuous in nature and slow to burn, the harimel resin will reveal minute motions of the target through its smoky fumes. It has been known to deeply char the skin once it reaches high temperatures.
