ALTERER's SCROLL

This scroll is used to hold a description of your alteration request. At this time, it has not been set to alter any specific item. You must WRITE to it before going to see the alterer.
This scroll is good for description alterations only.

To see the commands, type WRITE by itself.

>write
USAGE:
Hold the object you want altered in your left hand before you write to this scroll.
You currently have a short sword in your left hand.

To get rid of your alterer's scroll, you must DROP it. It will blow away after a little while. Once you drop a scroll, all information about your request will be erased, and you will need to get a new one from the merchant.

Commands:
WRITE CHANGE Allows you to change the item you want to be altered. You must be holding the new item in your left hand when you used this option.

WRITE NEW {text} Overwrites any existing request, but if the scroll is already associated with an item, it will not change that association (use CHANGE, in that case). You can use this to start over at any time prior to ACCEPTing the alteration and price.

WRITE REPLY {text} Allows you to respond to a merchant's message.

WRITE ACCEPT (Signs the alteration contract and authorizes the merchant to charge you and create the alteration.)

WRITE OFFER {amount} [town] When a merchant gives you a price for the alteration, you can bargain a different price using this command.

The optional town can be: LANDING, TERAS, SOLHAVEN, ICEMULE, RR, EN, ZL, FWI, or CYSAEGIR

You ACCEPT after the merchant has approved either an alteration, or a counteroffer on the price for the alteration.

Once you have written to the scroll, you are free to put both items away, and go on about your business. You'll be notified when the merchant responds in any way. However, you will need to have the scroll in your possession in order to respond to any messages or suggestions the merchant makes.

Merchants have the final word. Read any posted information about what types of things the merchant alters and what rules the merchant uses.

>write new Testing! An awesome sword! Glancing at your short sword, you write "Testing! An awesome sword!" hoping it describes what you want and is acceptable to the merchant.
