A witch named Brienna has taken up residence on Wall Street West in Sto Lat. Rumour has it that she can help you reverse any unfortunate tattoo-related decisions you might have made while inebriated (or even while stone-cold sober).

Coatings have a wide variety of effects and many of them will require some experimentation to discover.

Use "help coat" for the basics of the command. Applicator clothing is available to purc...

This month's Bugfix Weekend concentrated mostly on the the world of witches. Below are some of the more noteworthy changes:

* NPCs that are both vined and fighting will now show up in the room as "fighting amidst a bunch of vines" rather than just "fighting".

* Attempting to attack fireflies, blue lights and moths (i.e. the magical light-emitting summons) is now PK-checked. In other words, you can only try to attack them if either they belong to you or they belong to someone who you're able...
