MAEVIE8: /* Fun Facts */

'''Maevie Hemperior''' is a halfling huntress who moonlights as an empath. She is devoted to Zelia, '''TownCrier''', and '''House Paupers'''. Her hometown is in Wehnimer's Landing, where you can also visit her shop, [https://shops.elanthia.online/?mode=browse&town=Wehnimer%27s+Landing&shop=Maevie%27s+Shop ''Maevie's Merry Marvels'']. When she is in town, you will most often find her at her private property, the Warcat Suite, but mainly she is in the wilds, hunting, living, and dying. Beware when she hunts, she can loose herself to the ferocity, not unlike the berserker she is haunted by.

Maevie is the lucky child of '''Whistfylle''' and '''Vivaldi'''. Her best friend is a giantkin rogue, named '''Asben'''. She has never been married and does not have any children. She loves to make jewelry, forage for wild mushrooms, bake, and eat sweet treats. Because of her chaotic and distractible nature, she can struggle to connect with others. While she isn't exactly feral (most of the time), she sometimes appears so when in the wilds or the arena.

Whether stalking formidable foes, offering healing hands, or creating chaotic fun, Maevie Hemperior has become a beloved and enduring presence in the lands for more than two decades. {{characterprofile

==Appearance==
You see Legendary Lady Maevie Hemperior the Witch Doctor of Wehnimer's Landing.

She appears to be a Halfling.

She is bathed in the fading lights of the day as the slow rise of Tilaok begins to suffuse her aura with orange light.

She has a spritely, small build. She appears to be in the flower of life. She has mismatched viridian and icy green eyes and sun-kissed, lightly freckled skin. She has wispy cut, unruly raven-hued hair pulled back and wrapped around a pair of balenite-ringed ebony hairsticks. She has a delicate face, a pair of horn-rimmed eyeglasses perched upon her freckled nose and petal pink, bow-shaped lips. She has a column of gilt-inked moon phases framing her right temple.

Superimposed over Maevie's form is the ghostly silhouette of a halfling berserker, an unhinged expression on her face. As you watch, she contorts her face into an expression of pure rage, her eyes bulging wildly.

She has a stalk of violet lunaria framed in translucent silver coins tucked behind her ear.

She has a cherrywood dragon's claw pipe clenched between her teeth, a pair of silver hoops dangling sapphire peacock feathers in the ridges of both her ears, a brightly haloed liabo moon tattoo wreathed in a pearly white banner on her neck, a silver crescent-shaped stud in her right nostril, a lustrous moonstone ring in the middle of her nose, and an onyx-striped opal warcat in her left nostril.

She is in good shape.

Flickering trails of iridescent starlight illuminate the nebula of colors swirling along the contours of Maevie's gown, the collection of celestial bodies glinting as they traverse the length of the fabric.

She is wearing a tri-strand silver trinette dangling a rainbow-cast niveous opaline moonstone, a warcat-shaped balenite key strung on a mariner chain, a backless gown of shadowsilk engulfed in pale metal threading, and a silver moon-chained anklet dangling tiny shards of raven's wing obsidian.

Flickering near Maevie is a monstrous wolf, its luminous figure composed of moonlight silver energy. Tail straight and eyes alert, it pads in a protective circle around her.

== Fun Facts ==
~While Maevie is a master healer, 99% of her healing is done on herself.

~Maevie entered the Lands in 2000.

~Maevie capped years ago while enjoying a Winterfest Parade in Icemule Trace. She was not hit by lightning!

~Maevie is a master painter, and while she doesn't actually wear shoes, she is also a cobbler!

Illoke shaman/Huge stone maul

2026-05-11T21:57:57Z

SURIAL: Created to show the warrior APPR result, showing the crit weighting.

These weapons are held by [[Illoke shaman]]s. They crumble once the shaman that originally held it dies.

They are fantastically (40) crit weighted, and are technically [[War mattock]]s.

<pre{{log2}}>
>assess maul
You assess the maul for structural weaknesses and strengths.

Careful examination indicates the stone maul has a base strength of 75 and a base durability of 145. You also determine the current integrity of the stone maul to be at 100.0%.

Checking out the maul, it looks like it is fantastically weighted to inflict more critical blows than a normal weapon of its type.

[A huge stone maul has a combat effectiveness rating of 40 points of Critical weighting. It has 0 of 200 services towards the next full rank of combat effectiveness.]

Reserve

2026-05-09T00:34:55Z

SURIAL: Removed line about wands in reserve being better for DS. Because it's apparently not true, at least, when also holding a runestaff.

The '''Reserve''' system, accessed via the [[Verb:RESERVE|RESERVE]] verb, allows you to set a small item usable in combat aside, ready to use anytime as if it was in your hand.

The aim of the system is to give you more flexibility in combat, and to increase the utility of the various magical consumable items.

==Slots==

The amount of items you can side aside ('reserve slots') depend on your subscription:

* F2P accounts do not get any reserve slots.
* Standard accounts get 1 slot.
* Premium accounts get 2.
* Platinum accounts get 3.

==RESERVE (verb)==
{{main|Verb:RESERVE}}
{{#section:Verb:RESERVE|usage}}

==Notes==
* You can [[Verb:INVOKE|invoke]] scrolls that are held in reserve without penalty (the 100 penalty applied when trying to invoke whilst holding another item is not applied when invoking from reserve).
* Some examples of things you can put in reserve: [[Herb|herbs]], [[Wand|wands]], [[Scroll|scrolls]], [[Heavy quartz orb|heavy quartz orbs]], [[Blue crystal|blue crystals]], [[Solid moonstone cube|solid moonstone cubes]], and more.
* Any item that must be worn to be effective, such as [[Ruby amulet|ruby amulets]], do ''not'' work from reserve.
