Shop Teaser/Announcement 1 - In the Shadows of the Sparrow

Discord Message Link: In the Shadows of the Sparrow (shop)
Author: GM Thandiwe
Date: 2/3/2024


Located down an alley and secreted away, a young merchant sells fans modeled after the famed fighting fans of the Sparrows of the Night Queen. She will not speak to those that come seeking her out, instead just watching from the shadows of her shop as customers come and go.

While her fans are simple and elegant, they are not weapons, however, they do still allow for the chained dance of the Sparrow.

The cost of a base fan is 2,500 bloodscrip, with each unlock costing 1,000 bloodscrip.

Shop Teaser/Announcement 3 - Fancy Stance

Discord Message Link: Fancy Stance (certificate)
Author: GM Valyrka
Date: 2/3/2024


A certificate will be available for purchase this Duskruin that adds fancy stance messaging to your weapon.

This fluff messaging does not take up a script spot. Examples: stance off Gripping your steel falchion, you take an aggressive step forward. stance advance Leaning forward, you position your steel falchion at your knees and ready yourself for battle. stance forward You pull your steel falchion across your body, preparing to fight. stance neutral Lightly gripping your steel falchion, you shift your balance from foot to foot. stance guarded Bringing your steel falchion across your chest, you glance about with a watchful eye. stance defense Stepping backwards, you pull your steel falchion close, protecting yourself from attack.

Thank you to GM Ethereal for helping code and APM Estild for his help in getting a new script slot added to make this happen.

With the release of this certificate comes a new field on items called Fluff Script, which will allow you to add fluff scripts that won't interfere with your mechanical scripts.
The way it works is as follows:

  • The primary script always takes precedence.
  • Multiple fluff scripts can be stacked into the fluff script field, but the order of importance is noted by the order of addition.

Example: Primary Script has verbs RUB, EXHALE, PULL, 1st fluff script has RUB, PUSH, PONDER, 2nd fluff script has PONDER, GAZE, GLANCE

  • Rub, exhale, and pull will always default to the primary script.
  • Push and ponder will always default to the 1st fluff script.
  • Gaze and glance will default to the 2nd fluff script.
  • And so on as it goes.
