Help on: parry

While in combat, a warrior can go on the defensive and concentrate on parrying attacks by his opponent.

To parry a swing, you must parry just before your opponent attacks you. You'll find parrying against lower levels much easier than high. If you are attempting to parry a person you are not fighting (but is fighting you), you must specify their name: parry <opponent>.

You will 'ready yourself to parry' immediately. After that, if you receive a message indicating failure or success, you timed it right; if you receive no message, you timed it wrong. If you are much slower than the opponent, you will not be able to parry every blow.
