Enchanter's Emporium and Silent Gallery, II

[Demathos]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Enchanters Emporium and Silent Gallery, Second Quarter:

Returning to continue fulfilling the high demand for finely enchanted and unique magical and myserious weapons, armor, clothing and trinkets, the Enchanter's Emporium has constructed new stock for the second quarter. We are proud to say that our options are now more numerous and potent than was the case in the first quarter, and our reputable system of purchase shall remain along with some of our old, popular items.

Purchasing Instructions:

The Enchanter's Emporium and Silent Gallery respects that many buyers wish to have their identities remain confidential, as many enjoy privacy as to what items (magical and otherwise) they hold within their possession. To work towards that end and better serve our customers, we have composed a unique purchasing system, similar to the concept of an auction. A minimum price shall be established, and should you, the customer, take interest in any given item, you are recommended to leave a message with one Pyras Demathos, stating your offer. At the end of each day, the minimum offer shall be updated to represent the price to beat, as per what the last offer was. This system allows for you, the customer, not only to remain with secure privacy, but also to have the power to have an opportunity to offer an amount that you see as fair, rather than having to pay a set, pre-determined and non-negotiable fee.

Available Products, Second Quarter:

The Finer Touch: This is the basic enchantment to be placed upon weapons or armor, often used as a foundation to base greater enchanting work upon. It is a fine edge to an otherwise mundane arms and armor.

((+1 Weapon or Armor)) Minimum Bid: 1000

The Finer, Finer Touch: Any warrior worth his salt can kindly inform you that it is often nothing more than the quality of equipment that can decide the final outcome in a diffiulct match. Working towards providing to that end, applying the finer touch to your weapon or armor will grant you a lasting enchantment of the second degree, enhancing the overall quality of the piece.

((+2 Weapon or Armor of Choice)) Minimum Bid: 8000


Shocking Grasp: Applying this effect to a weapon would even catch the eye of a the Stormbringer himself. A potent combination of gems and essences lends your blade of choice a devestating shocking property to strike fear into your enemies, and failing that, a blast of lightning to their vital organs.

((+1d6 lightning)) Minimum Bid: 10,000


Vampire's Kiss: Some might consider this to be amongst the more morally questionable items to be sold, but when a choice must be made to decide between the ones you love and the ones that would harm them, the choice becomes clear, and it is far easier to enforce with a fiercome presence. This blade lends to the aforementioned ferocity by housing an inherent ability to drain your enemies life to bolster your own, giving you the strength you need to carry on for life, love, or country.

((+2 vampiric regeneration per hit)) Minimum Bid: 10,000

An Offensive Defence: If you are counted amongst those that would sooner protect themselves than see harm come to another, this weapon can serve your purposes quite well. Rather than having the ability to strike fiercly into your foes, this weapon has been enhanced to lend its strength to your own defence.

((+3 defending)) Minimum Bid: 12,000

Blinking Cloak: This lovely piece appears to be a rather mundane cloak until activated, at which point it, along with the wearer, appear entirely displaced from their given position. This, of course, is a very potent defensive item fit for any man or woman, fighter or mage, and can be used numerous times per day without ever expending its inherent magical charges.

((50% displacement, 3 times per day)) Minimum Bid: 8000

Self-Betterment: Whether it is to be smarter, wiser, or more charismatic; or whether it is to be stronger or hardier, the Enchanter's Emporium has a method to enhance that which you might lack, or that which you could use more of. To fulfill the hopes you might have for your own capability, all that need be done is place an order.

((+2 stat item of choice)) Minimum Bid: 8000

Arcanist's Suppliment: It goes without saying that the Wizards, Sorcerers, and Bards out there have found themselves in situations where they would have benefited from having more spells available than they did. For some, it means an extra magic missile to pummel a foe, or an expedius retreat to safety, and for others, it is another small healing spell that means the difference between life and death. These rings provide the user with one more spell able to be stored and cast, making use of the first circle of arcane magic.

((1 more 1st level spellslot for all arcanists)) Minimum Bid: 500

Divinity's Blessing: Similar to the Arcanist's Suppliment, this ring provides additional magical focus. However, rather than its cousin, this ring enhances those who wield the Power, rather than the Art, and grants extra spellpower to the divine wielders of the weave.

((1 more 1st level spellslot for divine casters)) Minimum Bid: 500


NOTE: Many of these enchantments can be added to the same weapon, and if that is desired within an order, please make a note of it when placing a silent bid.

Now handed out in addition to the Second-Quarter fliers is a special notice, written in the same script as the other familiar Emporium fliers.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I, Pyras Demathos, founder of the Enchanter's Emporium, am departing to the Thaymount for business affairs. I shall be absent for an extended period of time ((Until August 16th)) and will be returning to continue serving the loyal customers that have been drawn to this organization. Rather than expressing dissapointment in being unable to acquire many popular wares from the store, take this opportunity to save your funds for, perhaps, more potent arms, armor, and trinkets. With my business being resumed upon my return, the Emporium will be working to meet your needs at a heightened level, and will be supplying very powerful artifacts. Detailed in this letter are a few sample items that will be made available when I return to Sundren.

Elemental Brilliance: A flurry of the elements capable of inspiring awe in a Druid, or terror in anyone who is at the wrong end of the weapon. ((+1d6 of electricity, fire, and acid))

Tide's Turn: A weapon enchanted with this combination is a potent measure to convert the strength of the enemy to the strength of yourself, while sapping the target of their endurance to fight. ((+2 enchantment with +2 lifestealing, and DC 18 constitution poison))

Keen Protection: The value of defense is one not to be overlooked, but there are those who would say the best defense is a good offense. In this weapon, the best of both worlds collide in a combination of enchantments that allow for enemies to be cut down twice as quick, while simultanesouly providing a deflective enhancement to the wielder's defense. ((+2 enchantment with +3 deflection AC and Keen))

Custom Order: The enchantments provided above are the simple combinations provided by the Emporium, though any of them can be excluded or re-combined to produce a unique weapon. For instance, the defensive ability of Keen Protection can be applied Tide's Turn in substitution for the permanent poison effect. The above-mentioned items are simply templates, though regardless, three enchantments per blade is the store limit.

Bidding: It is requested that, should you find yourself interested in these unrivaled weapons, that you leave word for me at the Enclave to wait for my return. In your letters, include your offer for the item you wish, and the combination of enchantments that you desire, and you will be found in due time. The minimum bid for all items of this caliber is 70,000 stags, which is non-negotiable.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

((Yeah, the price is high, but these are weapons not found in stores. They also all burn at least three gems, and are comparable in power to the Stormbringer spear in Exigo, priced at 200,000 stags. These weapons are supposed to be stupidly expensive so as to prevent flooding the market with them, and thus I request that people please do not PM me with comments on how absurd the amount is percieved to be; thank you.))
