FIGHTING MONSTERS IN MELEE- AND LONG-RANGE BATTLE

There are two possibilities to attack an enemy: Either attack it in melee
combat, or keep distant and attack it with a long-range weapon, like bow
or crossbow.

To attack in melee, just walk into the direction of the enemy. If you're
next to the enemy, you will attack it. Watch the status lines at the
bottom of the screen to get information on your attacks, e.g. if you miss
the enemy, or if you hit it very hard, or if you do no damage at all, or
how many HP (health) the enemy has left. If the enemy's HP is 0, you have
killed the enemy and won the battle.

To attack from a greater distance, you need to equip a long-range weapon
first. Then press the "fire"-key, [f] by default. Then press a direction
key to shoot into the given direction. If you have ammunition suited for
your current weapon, you will see how it moves from your position to the
enemy. Otherwise, you'll get a message saying that you don't have ammo.

It depends highly on your View-skill how far you can shoot and how often
your attack will miss. Train the skill well if you plan to use bows often!
