You can still be injured into the Lebanon Hospital (never deleted or looted). look shows (echo, idle). You must be in a zoned town area (not empty wilderness). How you play Type help idlemode more for the full writeup. idle toggle on/off (same as idlemode / afk) afk same toggle -- another name for idle idle on slip into Echo simulation idle off snap back (or walk / fight) idle off confirm leave a mid-job pack trail (see Pack login below) idle status show idle + auto-idle without changing Pack login If you log in while you are already with a packmate (same room, or already following / companioned) and they are on a haunt, board case, or Path hunt, you join in idle under their lead until that job closes -- then you take point. Walking or idle off warns first; idle off confirm breaks you off the pack so they can finish without you (help needs). If they are mid-job somewhere else, you stay live and get a tip to meet them -- the game will not idle you under a hunt you have not joined. Type pack off for full solo Cadence (help pack). By default, 30 real minutes with no typed commands slips you into idle the same way (autoidle on). Toggle with autoidle (see help autoidle). Only walking or aggressive verbs wake you: cardinals / diagonals, walk, enter / exit / leave / drive, and combat verbs (attack, spar, bite, stake, slay, maul, crush, devour, smite, judgment, rend, gnaw, howl, hunt, flee, disengage, …).

To let Cadence fight while you watch, use seek (help seek). seek slips you into idle with a locked goal; Cadence walks, boards, and attacks with the same verbs you would type. While fighting under seek or idle, your body also spends Momentum on press, guard, feint, unleash, and weave the same way an offline Echo would -- not just plain auto-swings. seek patrol roam and attack hostiles (good default for random fights) seek hunt missions accept / board mission loop seek haunt missions take haunt / house haunt loop seek dungeon dungeons take <id>, then travel and clear seek event join a live Croatoan surge, holy war, or open haunt seek off clear the focus and wake Bare idle on may swing if something hostile is already in the room (personality add adventurer helps). For reliable fights, prefer seek patrol or seek hunt. To fight yourself: attack <name> (or bite, stake, …) wakes you instantly. Or idle off first. quit makes a true offline Echo. idle keeps your Session so you can wake instantly.
