Cracked ember-veined fragment

Cracked ember-veined fragments were one of two prizes made available for participation in the storyline at Ebon Gate 2014. They can be PEERed into once a day for a glimpse through space and time while GAZE allows the owner to randomly pull an item from another valence every four days. While the fragment itself is attuned, the items pulled out of it are not and can be freely given to other characters. Cracked ember-veined fragment The fragment itself has several fluff verb traps. In addition, a random item can be pulled from it once every four days. Analyze The creator has also provided the following information: This item's description/base/look may not be altered in any way. This is an account-bound item. You can PEER once a day and GAZE once every four days. Available verbs: PEER, GAZE, RUB, STARE, TAP, TOUCH Usage Verb First Third GAZE Shifting your gaze, you use the fragment's influence to pierce the veil between the planes of existence. An other-worldly landscape fills your vision, and you sense an object of potential interest within arms reach. Without waiting to actually see it, you reach out and yank a petrified snake tongue into your current temporal sphere. XXX stares at nothing in particular for several seconds and then reaches up behind her head. Her hand simply disappears for a moment, and when she brings it back into view she is holding a petrified snake tongue! GAZE (during cooldown) You gaze intently at the ember-veined fragment and reach out into the air, but you quickly pull your hand back, empty. XXX gazes intently at her ember-veined fragment and reaches out, grabbing at the air. PEER Peering into the ember-veined fragment, you fight a sense of vertigo as your point of reference slides effortlessly into the fragment, passing one pulsing river of heat after another. Finally, your progress slows, and the image of a particular place grows distinct and detailed, both in place and in time... Your mind spins and you feel yourself being pulled back to the present time. Your head aches mildly. XXX's eyes glaze over as she stares into the distance. XXX stares at her ember-veined fragment, completely unaware of her surroundings. A sailor might say that she had slipped her moorings! PEER (during cooldown) You peer into the ember-veined fragment, but your vision remains firmly rooted in this reality. No glimpse of another time or place occurs. XXX holds the ember-veined fragment up against her eye and grumbles. RUB You rub your hand across the ember-veined fragment. Thoughts of a time past fill your mind and you can't help but think that maybe you shouldn't have picked this thing up. XXX rubs her ember-veined fragment. For a moment, she looks wistful, but then a look of fear fills her eyes. STARE You stare at the ember-veined fragment and feel yourself falling into a deep, deep trance.

Six-tentacled octopus hide glove The six-tentacled octopus hide glove is one of the fluff scripted items that can be pulled from the fragment. It has its own prewritten look description that is unique to the item type. SHOW You glance at the octopus hide glove, wondering if it's possibly sideways. Or upside down. Or backwards. It's really confusing you! Usage Verb First Third GAZE Gazing intently at a six-tentacled octopus hide glove, you are able to find no seams or stitching. So, either this glove was made from a creature whose "hand" had six tentacles, or it's the skin of a small, six-tentacled creature whose head was about where your wrist is now. Then again, there's probably a third possibility you haven't even thought of yet. XXX gazes intently at a six-tentacled octopus hide glove. She appears to be considering its possible origin. PEER You peer at the octopus hide glove, contemplating what measure of inconvenience you may have caused. XXX peers at her octopus hide glove, evidently contemplating the impact of her acquisition.

STARE Your octopus hide glove produces an azure, crystalline coin out of nowhere and passes it nimbly from sucker to sucker, up one tentacle and down the next. Just as suddenly, the coin disappears. XXX's octopus hide glove produces an azure, crystalline coin out of nowhere and passes it nimbly from sucker to sucker, up one tentacle and down the next. Just as suddenly, the coin disappears. TAP You drum the tentacles of your octopus hide glove idly against your thigh...right up until the last sucker at the end of the third tentacle gets stuck! You spend the next several seconds working frantically to get it loose!

Additional Information Fragment Visions Using PEER with the fragment causes a random vision. This list shows an example of what can be seen, past, present, or future. [Bloodriven Village, Exterior] A tall black iron gate stands as a lone entry beyond an uneven cobblestone wall that marks the border of the town, with a darkened bronze plaque set into the uneven mortar. Sharpened tree trunks jut out of the top of the wall, providing some defense along an otherwise underwhelming line of protection. Visible beyond the gate are rows of tall buildings with a mix of stone and metallic roofing while the road itself is made up of uneven cobblestones. [Juggernaut, Grinning Goblin] The honks, bleats and thumping of a dwarven brass quartet greet you as you enter the Grinning Goblin. Crowds of dwarves and tourists alike crowd around little wooden tables, but on opposite sides of the room. What may have been a potted plant wilts in the corner. Behind the bar itself scowls the ugliest dwarf you've ever seen. You realize he's the owner. You also see a gem-studded black mithril hatch and a steel arch. [Thingul Manor, Entry Hall] Even through the thick layers of dust and cobwebs, you can still envision the bygone beauty and elegance of this grand hall. You can easily imagine the Lady of the Manor descending the long sweeping stairway to join her guests at some fine cotillion. Tall double doors on the south wall probably lead out of the house. A long stone table occupies the center of the room, magnifying the spaciousness of the entry hall. You also see a high-backed chair. [Jirkirl's Hilltop, Lake View] Stretching out to the north, a sea of silver-barked aspens, leaves shimmering with the breeze, meets a distant lake. Mists rise from the dark waters, obscuring the shoreline. The majestic peaks of the Dragonspine wrap around the scene as the range pushes off from the east towards the northwest. [Small Airship, Bow] The two decks converge here to form the narrow point of the bow, and below glittering scales of veniom sparkle with a silvery-blue light of their own. The sky spreads unhindered for miles around you, and a massive bowsprit extends from beyond the uppermost point of the deck - its surfaced wrapped in ornate designs of dark green ivy. The deep grey deck curves gently to either side, its fine glossy finish still glinting with reflected light. You also see a long black rope leading down to the creature's head. [Miscere'Golab, Head] Massive plates of crimson-tinted bone protrude from nearly every place here, providing a sturdy footing upon the beast's head - the sheer height of being atop the creature dizzying. Far below, the gargantuan shoulder-plates jut out to either side, and beyond that the claws resemble twisted columns of constantly clenching and unclenching flesh. You also see a long black rope leading back to the airship. Nacreous Humanoid Skeleton When worn, the nacreous humanoid skeleton appears in the unique feature field as: She has a tiny nacreous humanoid skeleton with bat wings and a scorpion tail sitting on her shoulder. When held in hand, its show description changes to: It's hard to tell exactly what it looks like. What's more frightening is that you're not sure how it ended up in your hand! There are seven random messages that can appear when the skeleton is PEERed.
