A friend in need is a friend indeed. And when in combat, a
warrior with the rescue skill is just the friend you need. Rescue
allows you to intercede in combat, protecting weaker characters from bodily
harm. Hopefully the favor will be returned. Success in rescuing depends
on the skill rating, as well as a comparison of level, dexterity, and speed
between the character and the target. (note: you rescue a friend, not the
monster)
syntax: rescue <friend>
