my hacks to goths

[Peter Mardahl <peterm@soda.berkeley.edu>]

  I hacked up a new goths inn.  Instead of having
a whole bunch of people who say nothing, there are 
a few people who tell stories about dungeons or
quests.

  It adds some of the atmosphere that is said to be
missing.

  It'd be cool if people would invent stories for their
maps and stick someone in goths to tell people about
them and give directoins and hints instaed of having
signs in the middle of town saying where all the
dungeons are.

  But this generates a lot of collisions as everyone
adds their own storyteller in goths.  Perhaps people
should invent their stories and send them to me.
I'll stick them into goths, and give goths to mark.
It would be most convenient for me if you would actually
put your story into someone in a map someplace,
and then simply send me that person.  I'll adjust his
coordinates to fit gracefully into goths.

  Because of the finite buffer size for messages (1024 characters
total per object, 256 per message)  I found it necessary
to use a monster and several magic ears to tell 
long stories.  you just have the invisible magic ears
speak in response to the player.  The magic ears are perfectly
invisible and can be stacked underneath the talking NPC.
