    Martial Artists
    ================
 
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 
  Martial Artists are purely fighting class, deriving its power 
from hand to hand combat and highly skillful weapon attacks.   
This file gives you some idea's on running an MA on the island.
If you have anything you wish to add or change, drop me a line  
at 72000,515.  My name is Stuart Rice.   
When first creating a MA try to get a sixteen, seventeen,     
or eighteen in strength and dexterity.  Your strength helps you
strike harder in combat and gives you more stamina, which helps
you run away when damaged.  Dexterity gives you the ability to 
strike first in combat and can help you get away from enemies. 
 After creating your MA, you can depart to Kesmai.  You appear 
on the main dock, armed with a staff, leather armor, and two   
shurikens on your belt.  In the most northern part of the town 
is the temple which holds one of the stairs to the first level 
of the dungeons.  To get there go north until you reach the    
intersection.  Your screen will register when you reach that 
with a some thing like, 'You are at an intersection of two 
streets.  A small brass plate says you are on the Street
of Thieves.
 West of you is a gem shop and Neela, the beginning Martial
Artist (for a complete map of the huge island print or
download the file kesmai.map from LIBrary 7 in the mpgames
forum).  These are the two places you'll have to memorize if
you are following directions from this file.  North of you is 
the main plaza.  Go around the pool and to the doors of the
temple. Go nw into the temple and west into the rectory.  Go
north once.  You should be able to see the down stairs (showed 
dn) stairs.  Move onto the down stairs mark.  Then type 'd' at 
the next > prompt.
 Once in the dungeon, hunt down all the orcs, kobolds, and 
skeletons you can find.  Collect the gold and treasure from 
your kills.  Keep everything.  When you have reached a semi-
critical stage in hp (i.e. you have 32 hps and you have been
damaged down to 12) depart from the dungeons.  Go south from 
the temple and to the Street of Thieves (a.k.a. the 
intersection).
 Go west until you reach the gems shop.  Go up to the counter
and dump your gems and rings on the counter, and say 
<shopkeeper>, buy gems and/or rings.  Take the gold off the
counter and put it in your rucksack.  Go south onto the 
street and go west until you reach another set of doors.  Go 
in these and stand on Neela's hex.  Take gold from the sack 
and drop it.  Say Neela, train me.  When you have finished 
training, Neela will say 'Use your skills wisely'.  Check your
skills.  If you used enough gold, you might have had an
advancement from green belt to blue.  If you did, you must train
with Phong in the woods.  You can find him on the map, in the
woods.
 If you get a blue belt, attack the trolls and wyverns, 
including the smaller monster minions.  Be careful, wyverns bite
and trolls are extremely strong and big.  Use your strength and
wits to destroy them.  Advance with Phong in the forest and become
more powerful.  Go down into the second and third levels and 
destroy the more powerful monsters (check the file BEAST.BG in the
MPGames forum).  Have fun and happy hunting!
