[Curiosities In Coral, Showroom] (a weathered
plank building) Chamber 1

little attention away from the many colorful displays of merchandise. A sweet
incense pervades the air, filling the area with the scent of wild roses.
You also see a sign and a case with some stuff on it.
Obvious exits: northeast, southeast.

************************************************
We offer some of the highest quality weapons and armor from forges all over the world!
************************************************
>l on rack
On the rack you see a matte-black visored helm set with a thin gold coronet,
a fishscale chain hauberk, a pearl and coral-handled faldenblade, a
pattern-welded warsword, a war hammer with a black coral-inlaid handle and
skull-shaped head, an iron-reinforced slingshot and a teak rampart crossbow
inlaid in black jade with an ornate double spiral design.
>app faldenblade
It is a light blunt type weapon.
It appears as if it could do:
no puncture damage
no slice damage
low impact damage
The faldenblade is fairly balanced and is fairly suited for gaining extra
attack power from your strength.
>l faldenblade
>The handle, carved from a single piece of precious, red coral, is in the form of a fierce sea dragon with an undulating body ending in a finned tail. A glistening black pearl rests securely within the monster's menacing, tooth-filled jaws as if it were ready to swallow it.
The blade of the faldenblade is safely folded into its handle.
>app hauberk (a fishscale chain hauberk)
The hauberk looks like it offers protection for the following areas:
right arm
left arm
right leg
left leg
chest
abdomen
back
It appears to impose high maneuvering hinderance and offers:
good protection and moderate damage absorption for puncture attacks
good protection and moderate damage absorption for slice attacks
moderate protection and moderate damage absorption for impact attacks
moderate protection and good damage absorption for fire attacks
moderate protection and good damage absorption for cold attacks
poor protection and good damage absorption for electrical attacks
Its type is light chain.
l crossbow
>The rampart crossbow is in flawless condition.
Dark brown teak with golden undertones is finished to a satiny texture. Intricate double spirals swirl along the length of the crossbow, worked in rare black jade so carefully inlaid that it almost appears to be part of the wood itself.
>l on rack
On the rack you see a blood-red enameled shield embossed with a clenched
fist, a dark aquamarine trident set with small coral stones, a blue-bladed
kris with a hilt shaped like a slithering snake, a silver and ivory-handled
faldenblade and a segmented club.
>app club
It is a medium blunt type weapon.
It appears as if it could do:
no puncture damage
no slice damage
heavy impact damage
The club is poorly balanced and is reasonably suited for gaining extra attack
power from your strength.
>l faldenblade
>The ivory handle, held in place with polished shell-shaped silver rivets, is decorated with images from seafaring legends: a sea serpent attacking a ship on one side and a long-haired mermaid on the other.
The blade of the faldenblade is safely folded into its handle.
The ivory-handled faldenblade is in flawless condition.
>l on rack
On the rack you see a heavy coronet of thirteen wolves carved from gold and
steel and a matte-black visored helm set with a thin gold coronet.
l on rack
>On the rack you see a segmented pike, an iron-studded maul, an ebony
bladed scimitar with an intricately carved alabaster hilt, a jet-black blade
set into a darkly polished walnut hilt, some spiked bracers, a blue-bladed
kris with a hilt shaped like a slithering snake and a silver and obsidian-hafted
faldenblade.

[Curiosities In Coral, Showroom] chamber
The plain wood slat walls and austere carpeting of the auction hall draw
little attention away from the many colorful displays of merchandise. Sounds
of laborers, possibly hauling portions of the never-ending goods that make
their way through this venue, can be heard from here. You also see a sign
and a table with some stuff on it.

One of a kind artifacts!
Some recovered from lost civilizations while others have been donated by
some
of Elanthia's greatest artificers!

>l on tabOn the table you see a bejeweled crystal bottle, a thick blood-red leather girdle with the image of a wild centaur across the front, a deobar-hilted short sword with a beautifully engraved blade and some black suede boots with engraved gold buckles.
>l boots
A stylized phoenix in its glory has been delicately engraved into the gold
of the boots' buckles.
>l bottle
You see nothing unusual.
>l in bott
There is nothing in there.
>l sword
The short sword is in flawless condition.
The image of a goblin bowing before a short sword stuck in the ground has been delicately worked into the blade. Silver wire is wrapped around the deobar hilt of the weapon and the word "Kobladen" has been etched into the wood.
>app sword
It is a light edged type weapon.
It appears as if it could do:
fair puncture damage
low slice damage
poor impact damage
The sword is reasonably balanced and is poorly suited for gaining extra attack
power from your strength.
l on table
On the table you see a narrow, reptilian skull which holds three rows of
wickedly pointed teeth and a red, shabby bandana rolled and tied together
as a head piece.
>l on table
>On the table you see a shadowed silver amulet with a Bardic Blood Knot
made of amethysts, some black silk gloves accented with delicate gold embroidery
along the seams and edges, an ornately woven grey and pink silk scarf, a
copper-tipped black snakeskin bullwhip, a gnarled black deobar staff hung
with feathers and small silver charms, a butter-soft cobalt leather case
and a dark pewter amulet with a rubied Bardic Blood Knot.
>l amulet
Amethysts shimmer in the endless circles of a Bardic Blood Knot centered
in a shadowed silver amulet.
>app bullwhip
It appears that the black snakeskin bullwhip can be worn attached to a belt.
>l other amulet
>The brilliant circles of rubies that make up the Bardic Blood Knot appear
to gleam from within on this dark pewter amulet.
>l glove
The gloves' stitchwork consists of complicated knot patterns and stylized
animals.
>l scarf
Intricately woven silky threads form a scene across the scarf of a swirling
water funnel rising from a calm sea against a radiant sunset pink sky. A
myriad of hues and shades of greys and blues of the needleworked storm become
darker in their essence as they blend effortlessly toward the deep black
eye upon the blue ocean.
l case>
Luminous silver threads criss-cross the soft leather sides of the instrument
case. Obviously crafted with loving care, the stitching forms striking patterns
of flying wrens chasing one another across a cobalt sky. It is clasped with
a Bardic Spirit Knot.
Sinuous Shore
[Crafter's Guildhall of Andreshlew, Entry Hall] (building- this is where you get your alteration done)
Walls of creamy blue-streaked marble surround the spacious entry hall of
the Craftsman's guildhall of Andreshlew. Underfoot, a tile floor surrounds
a central mosaic which depicts the creation of the Merelew by Lemicus. Examples
of guild member's work are displayed on pedestals along the hallway. You
also see a gnawed bone, a set of double doors at the end of the hall, a table
of alterer scrolls and a prominent sign.
Obvious exits: out.
>read sign
To ease your minds and enliven your visit to the Feast, the Guildhallhas
established a procedure to enable all feast-goers to receive a single alteration
(one per account). Instead of waiting in a crowded room, trying to get on
a list for your alteration, take a scroll, then read it. With the item you
wish altered in your left hand, and your scroll in your right, write the
description of what you would like your alteration to be on the scroll (syntax
is WRITE NEW <your description>).
Your request for an alteration will be entered into a list from which our crafters will work. They will be able to send runners to you, suggesting changes. You may then reply to the runner with a counter suggestion. Please be aware that the alterer is the one who has final say on whether your request will be honored or not, as he or she is the one who may best judge his skill.
Crafters work on weapons (appearance only, no enhancement of strength or balance), armor, shields, clothing, jewelry, etcetera. They cannot change the nature of the basic item (if it is a dagger, it must remain a dagger, a backpack cannot become a cloak).
The crafter will be happy to send a runner to your bank so that you may pay for your alteration. A price will be agreed upon before the alteration is actually made. After the paperwork is completed, the crafter may dispatch a runner to pick up your item to be altered, and to return it when the alteration is complete, or they may request that you return to the Crafter's Guildhall on Andreshlew.
We hope you enjoy the Feast of Eluned's Rising!
