For starters

[Skills help] dirt kicking

Syntax: dirt <victim>

A somewhat underhanded form of attack, a dirt kick can temporarily cloud
an opponents vision. For such a simple idea, it takes some skill in melee
to pull off but can be surprisingly effective. Of course, you need dirt to
be present in order to kick it into someone's eyes. It is more difficult
to kick dirt at someone who you are not facing directly in formation.

Room description of the top floor at Hero's Inn.

As you top the stairs leading into the Inn's common room, the sounds of
laughter an music reach your ears. The smells of fine ale and Beorgnar's
famous venison stew make your mouth water. There are a few tables and
chairs nearby, but most of the Inn's patrons are further into the common
room dancing, eating and getting a drink at the bar. Two large and brutish
bouncers give you a cursory glance, but don't even get up from their chairs.
No one really starts any trouble at the Hero's Home, and from the look of
those two bouncers, your fairly sure you know why.

How can I be inside on the top floor so it's obviously not a dirt floor and still be dirt kicked? The room description doesn't mention the floor being covered in dirt, and the help file clearly says that there has to be dirt around to use dirt kicking. Is this an error and you can actually dirt kick anywhere? Or can the game not figure/is not flagged for rooms that have dirt and rooms that have no dirt? Or is it a bug to this room in particular?

You can dirt pretty much anywhere but air/ocean/lava rooms.

So basically the help file is inaccurate? Cause it clearly says there has to be dirt around, which makes perfect sense, to kick dirt.
How can you possibly kick dirt when there isn't any to kick?

There is a significant penalty to success in places where you would not expect to find dirt, such as indoors. But what can I say? Pyrathia is a dirty world.

lol people don't sweep their floors in Pyrathia. Sounds reasonable since I play a dirt character. Maybe it falls off of me onto the floor xD. Thanks.
