Event Weekend Challenge (2/24-2/26)

[Gossamer]

Hey Miz Folks!

Let's do a quick little challenge for the end of the season. Let's all get our job threads in this weekend. I'll credit anyone 1 credit per job thread completed this weekend plus 1 credit for any threads graded. Quest credits will purchase new or previous quest items from a list I provide at the end of the challenge.

Have fun.... and get your job threads done!

I'm going to extend this out until Tuesday Night aka Season Change. There's only two more days until that happens, so we might as well get as many people involved in playing catchup as possible. It will be until Tues, Midnight... the 28th.

Thanks for playing folks!

Like I mentioned before... you will get one Quest Point for every job thread you wrote or every thread you graded. I have some small quest items below, or you can bank your quest points to be used later when you have accumulated more of them.

1 QP - 3 QP = One or more picks from the list below based on the costs of items.
4 QP = A Quest Item Coupon or multiple picks from the list below.

The List of New Magic Items

• Cream of Invisibility - A small jar containing ten doses of invisible cream. The cream must be applied to a naked person because it only works on skin and hair. .. not on anything else. It takes one chime to apply and will last a singular bell. (1 QP)
• A Flask filled with the Elixir of Talent Shifting: This flask, when drank from, allows the drinker to switch 2 stats, including bonuses, for one bell. Contains 5 doses. (3 QPs)
• Bag Of Blinding Dust - A small bag of dust that when tossed into an opponent's eyes will blind them instantly for one bell. The bag contains enough powder for ten blinding. (2 QPs)
• Vial of Ethereal Elixir - This large crystal vial contains ten doses of a swirling iridescent liquid. This elixir allows the person who swallows a singular dose to become ethereal/transparent/noncorporeal for 10 chimes which would allow them to pass through solid objects and for things like weapons to pass through them. Some magics on items such as shields tasked the proper way can prevent passage or affect weaknesses. Divine items and marks can also affect their ability to pass through things (think temple walls or blessed weapons) or be struck by items. (3 QPs)
• Divine Mark Wish - This is for a singular wish that an item that your PC owns is marked by a deity. The diety can be of your choice but there must be a thread written to explain how/why/when your item was marked. You may RP the deity in this thread. (2 QPs)
• Charmed Lock Pick Set - This set of Lock Picks has been marked by the God of Luck, Ovak. They grant an additional +50 pts (to a dice roll) to any Larceny Skill when used to pick a lock. (1 QP)
• Bottle Of Air - This item appears to be a normal glass bottle with a cork. When taken to any airless environment (such as underwater or in a vacuum), it retains air within it at all times, continually renewing its contents for one bell. A PC can remove the cork and breathe out of the bottle for up to one bell. (2 QPs)
• Smoke Bomb - This glass bottle contains an everlasting source of thick blinding smoke. When uncorked, it emits an acrid smoke that obscures the view around it for 20 feet and causes a devastating cough in anyone who breathes it. Eyes water and sight is obscured. However, the owner of the bomb remains unaffected. The smoke will continue to be produced from the bottle until the bottle is recorded or one bell passes. (1 QP)
• Set Of Sending Stones - These two identical stones act as a magical walki-talkii. Each set of stones is unique. They are palm-sized stones of pale quartz that are carved with identical markings. Some may have matching birds, flowers, symbols, etc while others might have actual human faces carved into them. The carvings vary but match between sets. The stones with matching carvings are always linked to one another. And if one person (or one group of people) takes one stone and another person or group of people takes the other stone, the stones can facilitate communication between the two individuals or groups. The individuals just need to speak clearly while holding the stone and that causes the matching stone to repeat what was said at the first stone. The communication goes both ways and happens within a five-mile radius. There are no limits to the usage of the stone per day. (3 QP)

Let me know what you pick and I'll add it to your SS threads. Remember, you can bank your points as well... and if you do that, I'll note that in your SS also.

Smoke bomb please!

Thank you again!

Thanks for this contest, had a lot of fun and really pushed me to get those job threads and stuff done before season change! Ended up with 3 points from 2 job threads and 1 thread graded.

Thought on this awhile but finally came to a decision.

Going to bank 1 point, and spend 2 points on a Divine Mark Wish: Would like his Cauldron Item- Sand Gauntlet/Star marked by Yahal.

If this doesn't work or you need more details let me know, and thanks once again for this challenge!

Hi All-

I updated all your CS's.

Cas, you got the Smoke Bomb.

Mortiz, you got your banked point and a Yahal mark on your Sand Gauntlet. The mark will add an aura of protection that can be seen with auristics. The item will now be protected from divine harm specifically from Chaon and Kirvas usages against the item. Against the wearer of the item, the defense becomes a +10 bonus to defend/saving throws. However, while wearing the gauntlet you are going to be subjected to incredible physical and mental pain (to the point you will pass out) if you attempt to lie or do anything dishonorable such as fighting with someone, stealing, cheating, unprovoked violence, or breaking into a place you know you don't belong or are unwelcome.

Shade, you got your Vial of Ethereal Elixir and your Charmed Lock Pick Set.

Thanks folks!
