How easy is it to animate objects and NPCs in ColdX?
Anyone have samples such as triggered events, roving
NPCs, fuses, and other animated type objects?

I know that Kipp is working on a ColdX version of Paradigm.
Paradigm is a Diku-like mud and so it deals with healing,
and roving mobs and corpses decaying.  Anyone else
doing related stuff?

I've stolen a theme that I want to develop:

"How'd you like to be livin' in a town like this, with everthing
a-rottin' and a-dyin', an' boarded-up
     monster cawlin' an' bleatin' an' barkin' an' hopping' around black
cellars an' attics every way ye turn?"
