Subject: Couple Updates
The scriplender now has a 250 bloodscrip cap on her fee.
There was a bug that allowed you to die in the heist and still earn max rewards as long as you did some specific actions. This has been resolved.

Subject: Duskruin Wrap Up
Just wanted to take a moment to make sure things are very clear before we begin closing up the event.
This is the last run of the current HESS (and possibly many of the shops, for that matter). Last year, we announced that shop refreshing would happen once a year. With only two Duskruins planned a year moving forward instead of 3 or 4, that means next run is our refresh. Nothing in HESS is guaranteed to come back as is or for the same price. Current item properties will have more of an impact on certain certificates. We'll be discussing this internally and posting about it at a later time. I just want to make sure it's known before the end of the run.
With that said, I'll be sure to refresh the returned/exchanged things one last time before the end of the event. Likely this (shopping) weekend.
During the weekend, I am going to do a much lower-end event where I offer some Lesser Moods, GoryWeapons, and some other minor things that have been requested. Maybe sprinkle in some other things too, we'll see. This will likely happen on Sunday around 11am ET. If that changes, I'll let you know before that.

Subject: Arena Update: RT Locked Opponents
I've added a better check to see if the opponent you're facing has been placed into RT by a disabler like feint. If they are in more RT than usual, they cannot perform a hazard (traps). Keep in mind, they can do hazards when they are in their normal routine RT from attacking.

Subject: Heal Routine Update: Symbol of Mana
The Symbol of Mana cooldown is now removed on exit of the arena or heist.
And just in case I forgot to post it, so is the Mana Leech one. I don't remember if I did.

Subject: Beyond Rock and Rubble...
Toiling away to clear the debris, brave adventures struggled to find the treasures that awaited them beyond a stone-clogged barricade found buried within a fissure adjacent to the Underground Temple in Bloodriven Village. As fresh air rushed into the ancient cavern, dozens of earth elementals, krynch, and stone giants surged through to attack the intruders as they attempted to lay claim to the hidden nest. Battling valiantly, despite numerous casualties, the group put down the incredibly strong threat and began investigating the archeological site.
Faint whispers, shadows, and ghosts danced upon the dust-filled passageway as the explorers gazed upon murals that had been painted upon the walls. None-too-subtle in their travels, the group found more minions of the dark lying in wait for them. Minotaurs! Mages and Warriors prowled the halls! Why would they be here? How did they get in? What was their purpose? Silence was the only answer, which deepened with each horned bovines’ death. Would they return? None could say.
As the gentle sound of plinking water echoed through the halls, the sounds of battle fading to a memory, the adventurers found themselves gazing at the terminus of the passage where an enormous door, dripping with eldritch energy, stood waiting. Even the mummified remains of a dwarf, found tucked into a shelf on the cavern's walls, had no answers, a cryptic note...
<Never could figure out a way to open that door... Escape so close at hand, on both ends of this tunnel, but no hope in them.
Seeking answers, the adventurers turned to the bard in their midst, and that bard began to unravel the tale trapped within murals. With answers in hand, the group whispered to the door and stepped into a new arena. In this arena, they were greeted with nothing but death. Demons prowled upon the tortured landscape, some few caught within a cage of pain and misery. Perhaps the tale of the Arena’s Founders was better left undiscovered after all...
---
Special thank you to all the adventurers that played with us on opening night and worked hard to uncover the mystery and story of the new section in the Underground Temple. Thanks to the bards that worked in each instance, the story can be found on RECALL and shared with all.
GM Modrian was kind enough to code the loresong, GM Estild was instrumental in getting the RECALL taken care of for each mural and painting, GM Galene created the entire monk body and his possessions, GM Haliste, GM Tivvy, GM Isten, and GM Flannihan assisted with QC, general questions, and refinement of the tale that was told, while GM Netz created the wonderful mood messaging that fills the area. The new area is permanent and there are two shrines in this area that can be SENSED by a cleric.

Subject: Sigil Shop
[Bloodriven Village, Faida Lane]
Stretching high into the horizon to the east are the tall, white-capped peaks of the Dragonspine Mountains, sheer cliffs adorning the slopes like armor. Battered cobblestones line the road, with tall buildings lining either side of the thoroughfare. A crumbling stone wall is all that separates the town from the beginning of the mountain slopes. You also see a narrow space between two buildings, a dark shop and a hazy sigil-carved building.
Obvious paths: southeast, northwest
>go building
[Sigil Shop]
The solid walls of this room are barely visible through a fog that circulates about, yet brief glimpses reveal various sigils covering the walls, varied in color, shape, and vibrancy. The haze is in constant in motion, forming tendrils which weave in and out of your presence. An ironwood table and a glowbark display case are neatly centered in the middle of the room, causing any fog near them to dissipate. You also see a simple witchwood sign.
Obvious exits: out
>read sign
In the Common language, it reads:
~~~ Sigil Staves ~~~
Please enjoy my selection of Sigil Staves. They match the wood's natural enchantment with no other properties other than being a Sigil Staff. Price is set according to the rarity of each material.
Sold as is, they have a few unique actions, but you may purchase the certificates inside the display case to further unlock each staff.
Tiers
1: unique actions
2: allows spells to be TRANSFERred from scrolls onto itself, starting at 1 spell, but the tickets in the display case allows additional spells, up to 6
3. can be waved at a target to dispel 1-3 spells (must be energized and has a cooldown) and alters your appearance when held
4. can be raised to lower the mana cost of all spells by 50% for 30 seconds or 10 casts (must be energized and has a cooldown) and adds ambient messaging
5. unlocks the ability for the staff to multi-cast one spell as a flare
>look on table
On the ironwood table you see a sigil-carved faewood staff-of-Lumnis, a sigil-carved fireleaf staff, a sigil-carved glowbark crosier, a sigil-carved ironwood crook, a sigil-carved orase walking stick and a sigil-carved witchwood scepter.
>look in case
In the display case you see a pale sigil certificate, a bright sigil certificate, a vibrant sigil certificate, a glowing sigil certificate and a sigil-covered ticket.

For people that like to cobble shoes...
G>glance
You glance down to see a pair of zebrawood heels in your right hand and a pair of pink suede shoes in your left hand.
G>push my heels
If you proceed, your zebrawood heels will be permanently attached to your pink suede shoes, altering the look from a pair of pink suede shoes to a pair of pink suede shoes stacked on zebrawood heels.
[Please use this command again within 30 seconds to CONFIRM.]
G>push my heels
Holding a pair of zebrawood heels firmly in your hand, you push them against the soles of your pink suede shoes, one after the other. As they click firmly into place, you admire a pair of pink suede shoes stacked on zebrawood heels.
G>wear shoes
You slip a pair of pink suede shoes stacked on zebrawood heels onto your feet. A perfect fit!
Lots of heels to choose from!

Subject: HESS Details
Okay, got through some of the details and approvals tonight.
| Service | Cost in Bloodscrip |
|---|---|
| Shield Resizing | 25,000 |
| Holy Water Flares for Permablessed Weapons | 50,000 |
| Thrown Bandolier Weapon Swap | 100,000 |
| Zelnorn | 50,000 |
| Adamantine | 40,000 |
| Kroderine | 30,000 |
| Low Steel | 300,000 |
| High Steel | 150,000 |
| Spell Knowledge Enhancive | 500,000 |
| Greater Undead Bane | 500,000 |
| Self Mana Item | 300,000 |
Some notes on all this.
The zelnorn, adamantine, kroderine, low steel, and high steel are all set where you pick the base weapon or armor. As a general rule, no claidhmores, katanas, naginatas, or bastard axes (these aren't a weapon base, it's a script). The twist is, no more premades, but that you can choose so we don't have to guess. This isn't a conversion service or anything like that.
The spell knowledge enhancive is a choice between 211, 1606, or 1705.
Greater Undead Bane is a flare or HCW/HDW.
The self mana item will be a premade item. It will cost double mana to activate. The spell list for this is a much longer one. Not all of these are very good options, but I'm doing a data dump here on every choice.

Last time around, the Splitter and AsG sold out, so those aren't returning. Everything else in HESS is good to go.
The Treasure Trove isn't returning this run, as we need to make a lot of changes based on your feedback and experience.
There are also some other items that GM Estild is going to be releasing, I'll let him explain them a little more, but I think they will be well received.
