Great Auction of 2016

(Formerly known as the Q4 Auction)

What: GM Wyrom Describes the auction

One thing I will tell you is this auction will be like the old days. No information. No recycling through passed items. No detailed item list. We have a lot of staff making brand new items for this auction. I would say the majority of things are new scripts being coded strictly for this event, but we'll probably add some classics/high demand items once we move into the final phase of preparation.

When: (Tentative)

We're looking at the weekend of December 17th and 18th. Auction would start in the early afternoon on the 17th. We'll have a confirmation of these dates after November 15th at some point (definitely before Thanksgiving). per msg 1

How: (Tentative)

We won't ban people from bidding on items if they bid on one before, but I do believe you'll need your silvers on you in silver form. This will be part of the "more information" post when we have it finalized.

Details: All other information will be provided as we get closer to the auction, per Wyrom

Neat Loresong Item

I Made A Neat Thing

I finished up a super duper neat loresong this morning. It is groundbreaking and maims the bard in new and inventive ways! Also does some other neat stuff when a bard loresings it. Besides maiming them, of course!

Greatest Runestaff in The World

Greatest Runestaff in The World

GM Estild

Long time ago me and my brother Wyrom here, We was hitchhikin' down a long and lonesome road. All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon. In the middle of the road. And he said: "Give me the best runestaff in the world, or I'll eat your soul." Well me and Wyrom, we looked at each other, And we each said. "Okay." And we reached into our backpack and the first thing that came to our hands, Just so happened to be, The Best Runestaff in the World, it was The Best Runestaff in the World. Look into my eyes and it's easy to see One and one make two, two and one make three, It was destiny. Once every hundred-thousand years or so, When the sun doth shine and the moon doth glow And the grass doth grow. Needless to say, the beast was stunned. Whip-crack went his whoopy tail, And the beast was done. He asked us: "Be you angels?" And we said, "Nay. We are but men." Rock! Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh-ah-ah, Ohhh, whoah, ah-whoah-oh! This is not The Greatest Runestaff in the World, no. This is just a tribute. Couldn't find The Greatest Runestaff in the World, no, no. This is a tribute, oh, to The Greatest Runestaff in the World, All right! It was The Greatest Runestaff in the World, All right! It was the Greatest Runestaff in the World. And the peculiar thing is this my friends: The runestaff we wielded on that fateful night it didn't actually look Anything like this runestaff. This is just a tribute! You gotta believe it! And I wish you were there! Just a matter of opinion. Ah! Good God, God lovin', So surprised to find you can't stop it. All right! All right! |

The Pitcher

		17 Nov 2016	GM Haliste	>look my pitcher A koi-shaped handle with soft and pliable fins creates a fitting adornment to the elegant wavy lines that encircle the entire silver pitcher. Centered on the base is a small sapphire-faced dial that currently points to the word "mead". A small brass plate affixed next to the dial reads, "honey." The word "mana" illuminates and flows along the wavy lines encircling the pitcher. You say, "Hmm." >turn my pitcher You turn a sapphire-faced dial on the base of your silver pitcher and set the pointer to "rum". You gasp. >push my pitcher You push a small knob next to the sapphire-faced dial on the base of your silver pitcher. In elegant script, the word "spiced" begins to illuminate across a small brass plate. You squeal. >pour my pitcher You tip the silver pitcher slightly to pour out some liquid. Swirls of glittery light cascade... [To be continued...]|	Forum Ref
