Ice cream churn

Ice cream churns are scripted items that allow players to make their own ice cream and sorbet. There are two levels, a standard churn and an auction-quality rhimar churn.

Standard Churns

Most ice cream churns are portable, but some may be in private homes or player group buildings. The churns must have a rhimar object placed in the slot beneath the chamber to cool the contents.

Auction-Quality Rhimar Churn

Flavors

Ice cream and sorbet flavors are dependent on the food and drink items provided by the players. Milk is required for ice cream; if no milk is provided, sorbet will be made. Up to two food or drink items can be placed into the churn. Cones and toppings also affect the flavor messaging. Certain flavorings from the coffee and tea brewing system can be poured on ice cream and sorbet as toppings.

First Verse

As your voice penetrates a rhimar churn, the faint sound of bells echoes around you, followed by the laughter of a young child. A sudden chill fills the surrounding air as snowflakes brush against your face and a scene before you unfolds.

A young halfling child calls out, "Father!" as a boy charges in your direction and through you, stopping before a large wooden wagon filled with a variety of fresh fruit. A man hops down and scoops his young son up, spinning him in the air as the boy giggles furiously. "Soon you'll be old enough to travel with me and gather all the fruit for the shop," the man says as he tickles the small boy. The boy's face breaks into an enormous grin, and he nods with enthusiasm, stopping his father with a tight hug around his neck. On the ground once again, the duo make their way toward a small cobblestone house, each one grasping an overflowing basket of fresh fruit.

Through the frame of the frost-covered window, you observe the warm embrace between husband and wife as the young boys jumps up and down, awaiting another spin in the air. The smoke from the chimney suddenly obscures the vision, returning you back to your surroundings.

As Vanah begins her song, she tilts her head slightly, the look upon her face one of concentration. The look quickly softens, and a smile slowly builds across her face.

Second Verse

As you continue your song, the once refreshing chill of your previous vision has become a biting, unrelenting snowstorm. Sheets of ice fall at perilous angles, blinding your line of sight, but a pause in the gusts reveals the man yelling out into the storm, his cupped hands covered in thick leather gloves. A taller boy, the son aged at least a decade, emerges from behind a weathered wooden wagon, leading the horses toward a small stable.

A loud peal of thunder breaks the silence of the evening, and your vision becomes a blur of scenes assaulting your senses: a horse rearing in fear, the young boy throwing his hands up for protection, the father arriving to push his son away, the unmoving figure lying in the snow, the uncontrollable sobs drowning out the thunder... and with a bright flash of lightning, the vision disappears.

Vanah slowly weaves her song, shivering slightly as she cradles a rhimar churn between her hands.

Third Verse

You shut your eyes tightly, bracing yourself for another rush of frigid air, yet it does not arrive.

As your eyes open, you are once again in front of the cobblestone house, and the now-dilapidated wagon rolls slowly toward the front. A young man jumps down from the seat, rushing to grab a pair of wicker baskets, and spills several brightly colored fruits upon the snowy ground. A door opens, and an older gentleman emerges, leaning heavily upon his cane. The younger man runs up to him, embracing him tightly, his arms animated as he regales his father with tales of his travels.

The father smiles and laughs alongside his son, but his gaze is a melancholy one as he walks back inside the house. The son glances at his father's form, then the pieces of fruit laying upon the snow. A moment of realization dawns upon him, and he quickly gathers a number of supplies, rushing off with tools and fruits in hand.

As Vanah begins her melody, she shuts her eyes tightly as though bracing for something. Slowly, Vanah opens them, exhaling in relief.

Fourth Verse

Your song draws forth a familiar cooling breeze, the fall of snowflakes once again dancing about your form. The elderly gentleman sits quietly, gazing out a window at the snow-covered wagon outside. The tinkling sounds of bells catches his attention, and he turns, surprised by the scene in front of him. The young man holds out a small wooden barrel, a familiar grin upon his face. "I've found a way to enjoy our fruits without having to travel!" he exclaims. He places his contraption upon a table, then places a small basket of ingredients within it. He shows his father the proper way of sealing the barrel and turning the crank, his words a jumble of excitement and joy. The father nods along with the words, his smile quickly morphing into a grin that rivals his son's as he opens the churn to discover the finished treat.

The boy tilts his head inquisitively toward his father, awaiting a verdict. The father turns, slowly standing up to face the boy, then immediately lurches forward, father and son embracing as the vision fades in a flurry of silvered snowflakes.

Vanah gazes across the area with a look of melancholy, her fingers tracing across the a rhimar churn. She begins to smile slightly, then breaks into an enormous grin and lets out several hearty chuckles.

Default

The sound of a tinkling bell and visions of flurrying snowflakes whirl across your mind, but you learn nothing further.
