I'm back! & a few things

Written by: Maya, the Great Mother

Addressed to: Everyone


I've returned from my week away, which I spent rough-camping in the
woods and beaches of northern California, travelling through places with
such delightful monikers as the Chaos Crags and the Trees of Mystery
(really). I have not been away from an internet connection for so long
in a decade! The fresh air and lack of distractions provided me with
plentiful time and mental clarity to think on Achaea-related matters,
and I'll be sharing those thoughts with you soon, after I play the
catch-up game. (And no, that's not ALL I thought about while camping,
but as my tolerant travelling companion and my notebook and pen will
attest, it was a sizeable chunk indeed.)

Oh, and a few code-related changes:

- Done just before I left, so you may have noticed this one already:
deathsight messages showing someone bleeding/drowning to death/dying to
misadventure in the arena now tells you that the death occurred in the
arena.

- The bell tattoo, when touched, will now inform you if eavesdropping or
puppet/vodun listen is being used on your location/you.

- A new config option, CONFIG CLOTHESLINE ON|OFF, will toggle whether
you see clothing items in adventurers' descriptions as part of the
description paragraph or, as has been requested, with each clothing item
on a separate line below the description paragraph. The default is OFF,
so if the above doesn't make sense right away, just turn it ON and take
a look at an adventurer.

Penned by my hand on the 16th of Glacian, in the year 454 AF.
