STRANGLE
Syntax:  strangle <target>
Strangle is a skill which can only be learned by assassins.  An assassin
must be sneaking in order to strangle successfully.  When successful, 
the target is rendered unconscious for the remainder of the tick in which
they were strangled plus one additional tick.  If a strangle attempt is 
unsuccessful, it initiates combat with the victim.
