Taking inventory (past tense taken inventory)

Taking an inventory of one's immediate possessions: the things being carried, either directly or in any containers being carried. When the player performs this action, either the inventory listing, or else a special message if nothing is being carried or worn, is printed during the carry out rules: nothing happens at the report stage. The opposite happens for other people performing the action: nothing happens during carry out, but a report such as 'Mr X looks through his possessions.' is produced (provided Mr X is visible).
