Talk allows you to communicate with certain monsters. Some monsters can
even carry on interactive conversations. If you supply a keyword, the
monster may be able to give you some more information about it.	
NOTE: Keywords are no longer limited to one word and may indeed be a
key-phrase.

Syntax:
  ask <monster> [#] [<keyword>]
  parley <monster> [#] [<keyword>]
  talk <monster> [#] [<keyword>]

Example:
: talk x
Xenis the Sage says to you, "What do you need to know about?"
: talk x training
Xenis the Sage says to you, "Oh. Training is a must! What is your
   profession?"
: talk x mage
Xenis the Sage shrugs.
: talk x mage training
Xenis the Sage says to you, "Oh those shifty mages, they train over in
   their mage tower!"
