S'Kra Mur Verbs!!

Thank you, Toren, Laelia, Ellieandra, Siharhh, Erkaine, Valloa, Ithlia, Majebrad, Corrial, Smozh and Takaros!!!

I don't always list all the possible messaging. For example, you can [trill critter question]. I don't include the messaging for this because the messaging is pretty much what you see. No surprises (You trill inquiringly at critter. Others see: X trills inquiringly at critter.)

There also may be some changes to the messaging that I'm not aware of when I tested the verbs. Please do send corrections and contributions to: squishysnail@yahoo.com. Thank you! (I corrected any problems with the messaging. There may still be some typos and bugs with some messaging. Be sure to BUG about it in the game!)

(Should be more printer-friendly now. Silly me, I made the dividing line way too long.)
