[The Gardener's Tool Shed]
Tiny and cramped, the shack has a single window that spills bright golden sunlight on its loose, plank floorboards. Higher up, a series of small wooden shelves house various gardening supplies that are neatly arranged and shows signs of recent oiling. A small wooden crate rests near the structure's only door, while a basket lined with black cloth sits in the center of the room. You also see a woodburned rough plank sign.
Obvious exits: out
l on shel
On the small wooden shelves you see a pair of sturdy steel snips, a pair of black-handled snips, a pair of sturdy steel scissors, a pair of black-handled scissors, a pair of sturdy steel shears, a pair of black-handled shears, a thin sharpened iron awl, a slender steel awl, a small pine-handled lathe and a small steel-tipped lathe.

You say, "Snips, scissors, shears, awls, and lathes...."

You say, "I wonder what they can do....."

You glance at a woodburned rough plank sign.

Here's something that I kinda like:

>prep 702
You trace an intricate sign that contorts in the air while forcefully invoking Mana Disruption...
Your spell is ready.
>cast my axe
You gesture at a mithglin battle axe.
Your mithglin battle axe suddenly glows with an intensely blue light! The light seems to be absorbed by the mithglin battle axe.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.
>
R>kill kob
You swing a mithglin battle axe at a kobold!
  AS: +54 vs DS: +24 with AvD: +35 + d100 roll: +59 = +124
  ... and hit for 21 points of damage!
  Awkward slash to the kobold's stomach!
  Everyone needs another belly button.
Your mithglin battle axe suddenly lights up with hundreds of tiny blue sparks!
  CS: +469 - TD: +3 + CvA: +20 + d100: +68 == +554
  Warding failed!
  Massive internal disruption.
The kobold crumples to a heap on the ground and dies.
Roundtime: 5 sec.

Hrm... I like it when I discover new things about items:

>l my axe
A tiny golden eyelid, which is open, is inlaid into the bottom of the pommel.
You see nothing unusual, except for a small enchanter's glyph.
>
>touch my axe
You lightly touch your mithglin battle axe.
>turn axe
As you turn the mithglin battle axe, it appears to slowly scan the room.
>poke axe
You give the golden eye of your mithglin battle axe a solid poke. It blinks shut and with it the world goes black...
You instinctively blink and when you open your eyes, you find your surroundings have changed.
[Lower Dragonsclaw, Forest]
The light dims as you pass beneath the eaves of the forest, with little sun filtering through the canopy formed by the branches of the surrounding fir and pine. There is no discernible path between the closely grown trees and shrubs.
Obvious paths: east, south
>l my axe
A tiny golden eyelid, which is open, is inlaid into the bottom of the pommel.
You see nothing unusual, except for a small enchanter's glyph.

[Town Square Central]
This is the heart of the main square of Wehnimer's Landing. The impromptu shops of the bazaar are clustered around this central gathering place, where townsfolk, travellers, and adventurers meet to talk, conspire or raise expeditions to the far-flung reaches of Elanith. At the north end, an old well, with moss-covered stones and a craggy roof, is shaded from the moonlight by a strong, robust tree. The oak is tall and straight, and it is apparent that the roots run deep. You also see some stone benches with some stuff on it.
Obvious paths: northeast, east, southeast, southwest, west, northwest
>poke my axe
You give the golden eye of your mithglin battle axe a solid poke. It blinks shut and with it the world goes black...
You instinctively blink and when you open your eyes, you find your surroundings have changed.
[Town Square, East]
Here in the center of a broad plaza near the commercial area of the bazaar stands the impressive facade of the slate-roofed Moot Hall, where the citizens of Wehnimer's Landing hold various official, religious and social functions. Facing the square are some of the town's more prosperous shops, still doing business with the many customers who still frequent the streets at night. You also see a large wooden barrel.
Obvious paths: north, east, south, west
You notice the golden eye on your mithglin battle axe go red and close tightly.
>l my axe
A tiny golden eyelid, which is closed, is inlaid into the bottom of the pommel.
You see nothing unusual, except for a small enchanter's glyph.

Teasers? I didn't post one yet?

Naionna's burly knight hand-puppet flails its legs and arms in a brief moment of panic!

Really? I didn't post one?

Naionna's burly knight hand-puppet shakes its head from side to side, as if saying no.

Well, I should remedy that!

Naionna's burly knight hand-puppet nods its head emphatically.

...30 minutes later

Naionna's burly knight hand-puppet folds its arms over its chest.

Oh okay okay! The people will see the amazing things you can do!

Naionna's burly knight hand-puppet performs a little dance!

~Naionna, waiting to hear the scream of Venders everywhere.

Oh, we're doing teasers now?

You center your thoughts as you balance some jade hairsticks on one open palm. With a swift movement, you bring your hands together, twisting at the last minute, like a leaf dancing on the wind. With a soft click, prongs spring away from each hairstick, leaving a sharp-bladed weapon in each hand. You twirl the weapons, feeling their perfect balance as you ready them for combat.

You glance down to see a sai in your right hand and a sai in your left hand.

You balance a sai on each sky-faced palm, then bring them together with a measured clap, expertly twisting them at just the right moment. As the prongs catch on one another, they fold around their respective blades, forming decorative sheaths. You brush a finger along the edges, deploying an almost invisible hook that catches the two weapons together. As you bring your hands apart, you reveal a pair of hairsticks.

With the grace of a swan gliding across a pond, you glide your hairsticks through your waist length chestnut hair, weaving until it is an intricate, braided knot held just over your left ear.

Teasers, you got 'em.

1) Lesser Gigas Gauntlets...

Sparks of scarlet light blaze over the surface of your gauntlet.

You clench your gauntleted fist, and a sudden rush of immense strength explodes through you. It rises up in your throat, and you are unable to contain the primal scream that claws its way out of your mouth. A wave of fire blazes through your body with such potency that it sets your skin aglow for a moment with bright scarlet light. Roundtime: 3 seconds.

2) Blades of teh fun...

You pick up a silvery driftwood hilt.

You tilt your hilt back and forth, allowing light to play over etchwork on its modwir surface. The etching reads, "I destroyed Solhaven and all I got was this stupid hilt."

You press a cunningly concealed panel on the modwir surface of your hilt. With a soft metallic rasp, a vultite blade juts out of a small slit in the hilt.

More to come.

Just a little teaser.

[The Carillon, Foredeck]
Gleaming brasswork frames the foredeck, the metal wrought and limned to resemble curling flora twined about bell-shaped blossoms. The clusters of green-lacquered vines thicken to culminate at the bowsprit, before which a large but lithely muscled shape of carmlin sprouts from the bow to overlook the water. Shadowed by the sails of the foremast, the seasoned wood of the deck nonetheless glistens with care and polish. You also see a long wooden gangplank and a dark-eyed carmiln figurehead.
Obvious paths: south

>The prow of the boat cuts through the shining blue waves, and the tireless roar of the boundless sea nearly obscures the cries of gulls dotting the sky.
