Backstabbing in jail.

It's possible. I would guess this is a bug, backstab just needs to be added to the list of disallowed commands in jail.

That really did HURT!

You miss Edman.
Edman stabs your chest HARD, piercing through your ribs!
You are coughing up BLOOD!
Edman stabs your head, carving a bleeding hole in it!
Edman raises his weapon and thrusts it deep into your chest!
You are coughing up BLOOD!
Overall, Edman is in excellent condition.

Your punch at Edman's right arm is deflected by a set of mithril sleeves.

Grim Dungeon
The light pouring in from a tiny, iron-grated window is insufficient to
pierce much of the damp darkness of this dungeon. Unfortunately, no benches
nor beds can be seen, nor even a pile of straw, and the hard, stone floor
here is most unforgiving.

The corpse of Pyras is lying here.
The severed foot of Pyras is here.

Edman is here.

Its on the list. I'm not sure why it happened. Actually I think I've got an idea. I will look into it.

Now who would do such a thing?

That was quite funny actually, when it actually worked I was like...Wtf?

Backstabbing seems rather apropos for jail though.

Yeah, but we need a "shiv" subtype.

Makes ya wonder why any jail would allow people to keep their weapon(s) anyhow.

Jail sucks. It makes people not want to play this game.

Found it. While the "backstab" command is blocked, the "bs" command isn't. They are separate commands which do the same thing.

A Dark Cell
You are in a cold, dark cell deep within the bowels of Exile Gaol. The
floor is strewn with mouldering straw, gently rotting and doubtless home
to rats and other vermin. The air is thick and damp, the rock walls
glistening with moisture. The low reek of confinement, of over-flowing
slop buckets, unwashed bodies and self-pitying despair hangs in the
close atmosphere like a malevolent miasma. A thick iron door is set into
one of the walls, beyond which can be heard the low murmur and scuffle
of the rest of the dungeon.

(14) A leather waterskin lies here.
There is a fresh loaf of pumpernickel bread here, tempting you.

That isn't possible in this tiny cell!
You sit down.

[HP:100%] [ME: 99%] [PE:100%]
> bs
Better stand up first.

[HP:100%] [ME: 99%] [PE:100%]
> sta
You stand up.

[HP:100%] [ME: 99%] [PE:100%]
> bs
Backstab whom?

Well that's BS!

Expect a fix immediately.

PS I understand jail is a drag. I don't think that dying in jail makes it any more fun, that's why I guess we need this kind of script. At least I removed the shackles and hood echoes? Less disturbing now??
