This means disabling any ambient message generators, and leaving your pets/demons/animates at home.  Questions are welcomed, but repeatedly answering the same questions will slow the process down.  We thank you in advance for helping us conduct the auction as swiftly and expeditiously as possible.

PARTICIPATION

BIDDING
You will need all the silver and/or notes on your person at the time of BIDing.  The bidding mechanics validate the silvers on your character at the time you type BID [amount].  Coin hands, pouches, banks, gambling kits, and any other silver storing item do not get accounted for when checking your silver amounts.

LIMITATIONS

You remotely analyze an ochre-flecked sandy taupe linen saephua that is up for bidding in Auction, Golden Dreams.
You sense that the creator has provided the following information:

Originally sold at the 5107 Dragonfly Festival, an ochre-flecked sandy taupe linen saephua was spruced up and resold at the 5119 Ebon Gate Festival on Caligos Isle.

The saephua is a wrap-style shirt that provides special cultural messaging for the aelotoi, though anyone can wear one.  It should always remain a fabric item, but can have the noun of saephua or chest-wrap.

The saephua is 4 out of 4 tiers.

It has access to the following verbs: applaud, glare, gnash, fold, hug, pinch, pull, push, remove, slap, stomp, stretch, tap, touch, tremble, wear

You get no sense of whether or not the saephua may be further lightened.
