Look

Use your peepers to examine the world around you.

Typing LOOK on its own, or its alias, L, will reprint the exits, room name, room description, and visible contents of the room -- NPC, player character, and items.

You can also LOOK <object> to look at an object, at which point you will see its long description, as well as an additional line describing its apparent quality.

LOOK <character/NPC> will show you the long description of that person or thing, and display its currently visible equipment.

LOOK IN <container> will permit you to peer inside a container, and see what items are currently within.

LOOK <direction> will have you look in the specified direction.

Looking also automatically attempts to detect hidden things, and a silent challenge between your perceptive abilities and a hidden character or object's hide statistic will be rolled.
