For this you could just write a skill in act.offensive.c and make the
min position etc. just like kick or anything else and loop through the
combat list just checking for mobs in the same room as you and whether you
can see them or not and do hit(ch, i, TYPE_UNDEFINED), i being a struct
char_data var in your loop.

In structs.h you add a new flag, for afk it would probably be PLR_AFK in
the PLR_FLAGS section. Then in act.informative.c you add a line in
do_who like this:
if(PLR_FLAGGED(tch, PLR_AFK))
strcat(buf, " (afk)");
You also add something like this in show_char_to_char.

The way I usually do this is make separate affect bitvectors for each
multiple attack... ie. AFF_SECOND, AFF_THIRD, AFF_FOURTH and then
check for them in perform_violence in fight.c that was you can easily set
them for mobs in the affections bitvector.

I have seen that on Merc muds what you probably want to do is add the
#w and #W to in the messages file and then run it through the same
replace_string procedure that the regular attacks are run through.
Shouldn't be too hard just a lot of typing in the messages file. :)
