With the Agatean iai technique (lit. "To free the blade to cut open the bellies of the unworthy dogs") you can draw a weapon from its scabbard and attack your opponent in one movement. To use this technique one of your hands must be free, and a sword suitable for a slicing or slashing motion must be in a scabbard. Iai is used to initiate combat, so you can't be fighting while using this command. Your skill in fighting.special.weapons determines your ability to prepare, which costs 60 fighting points, and your skill in fighting.melee.sword determines your ability to hit your opponent. Your skill in your chosen weapon determines the efficacy of your attack.

Notes

  • You cannot use iai while fighting other targets in the same room ("You can't use this technique during combat.").
  • There is a hard coded time out of 5 seconds between two successive uses of iai. So, when having killed the first target within a few seconds with this technique, you will be responded with "You are already doing that." if you want to repeat the iai technique on a second target too fast.
