I have the great pleasure of introducing my entrant into the Annual
7DRL 2011 competition.

Experience the pet/master dungeon, mind swapping extravaganza
simulator and exciting unwanted bugs for you to discover.

To set the scene, we have one dungeon, one adventure, one pet and a
host of baddies.
Ok sounds dull and boring, right? The difference is that you get to
play the pet, not the adventure.

So your job is to keep your adventure alive long enough to get to the
bottom of the dungeon.  How do you do this? Well you have a unique
bond and mind, you can communicate to him with simple requests and he
will do the same for you.
Your master will wander around searching the dungeon for nasties and
items and will "smartly" decide what to do. If you lose track of him
you can always use your nose to locate him or other denizens of the
dungeon.

But your most important talent is the ability to temporarily gain
control of your master, swapping minds if you will.
This is where you get to control the master, and he gets to control
you.

Swapping Minds
--------------
Press 'TAB' to swap conscience with your master. You have access to
many more commands when as your master. You can not swap minds without
a rest in between and you can only control your master for a short
time.

Communication
-------------
Press 'o' to open the order menu.

Smell
-----
Animals can use there sense of smell to track their master and to
detect the path of enemies. Press 's' to toggle smell.

Good Luck!

P.S this is buggy as hell. It will probably crash a lot, please post
the stderr.txt file. I will endeavour to fix all crash bugs.
