This section talks about all sorts of things that I think players would like to know about.
First of all I just want to say... don't despair if you die a lot in the beginning. At the moment the game is a bit unbalanced and monsters can be pretty rough on new characters. Also, there are a number of different types of monsters and some are tougher than others (Metal Slime for example has extremely high defense and almost everyone does 1 damage per hit). There is no penalty for dying.
Second, if the battles drag on too long, a "rage" system will activate. This is a concept that the MMORPG Final Fantasy XI applied to some of its higher level monsters/bosses to make sure people didn't need days. Essentially, when a time limit is reached, the monster becomes so powerful that no player can defeat it. Because I want the battles to continue and many times I've done something similar. How long do players have to defeat the monsters? Well, it varies from 10 to 25 turns depending on different battle conditions. You can see how many turns you have before it gets dark by using !bat-Info. Also note that there is a special ability (Holy Aura) that can stop the darkness for a few extra turns.
After the time runs out, the monsters' stats are multiplied by 100, making them virtually impossible to kill.
