Author	Kraelyst

• Excellent teaching past 400 ranks
• Perfect for ALL skill levels.
• Will stand up if you fall down.
• Climbs every wall and embrasure around town then checks Climbing skill to determine if it will go climb in Dragon Priests (less than 180 ranks) or if it will go climb the cliffs under the gondola (more than 180 ranks)
• Start inside or outside any town gate or on top of the east city wall.
• Updated 1/11/2020
• Updated, as specified, 2025-07-15
  • Shard Citizen test for interactive climbing.
  • Non-citizen interactive for day climbing.
  • Note about holding for ranks above 450.
  • I also update line 347 from "Climbing" to "Athletics" to test for the Undergondola.(Syllanthis)
• Updated as specified, 20250718
  • Added "it is evening." to time check.(Syllanthis)

#Climbing in Shard

#This script was created by the player of Kraelyst the Hand
#It will probably teach well to 400 or 500 ranks.
#Theoretically anyone of any skill should be able to use it.


ECHO
ECHO *** Start inside or outside any Shard gate (or on the East Gate Wall).
ECHO *** Script ends on eastern wall because hopefully thugs won't drag you to Undershard from there.
ECHO *** If you have more than 450 in athletics, hold awkward things in both hands. (Syllanthis)  
ECHO *** YOU CANNOT run this script at NIGHT unless you are a citizen (Syllanthis)
