OK, now I know everything about Lua... Except Lua itself :P Does anyone know of a *good* tutorial?

Offline is strongly preferred, I found the Lua wiki but I would like something I can read offline. Lazy me.

First, if you have trouble finding a Windows executable, I have packed one up for you:

I have had trouble finding the manual "pre-packed" as I think they are encouraging you to buy the book, which is reasonable as they are giving the software away.

What I suggest is starting up the stand-alone version (or using the MUSHclient immediate or command windows if you prefer), and then working through their introduction manual. It is really very readable:

http://www.lua.org/pil/

If you want it offline, just download all the pages in that directory using wget or some similar utility.

Ah great, thanks. That I can download with HTTrack. It doesn't do very well with wikis.
