Official Auction Information

 

The Tower Hill family’s collection is massive -- so large as to elicit a great deal of jealousy, rage, greed, and murderous intent by those who wish to get their hands on prized items.  This year’s offerings span from trinkets that perform feats of unbelievable magic to rare shields to odd, fuzzy little creatures.

 

If for any reason one of the visitors is unhappy with their item, they are able to exchange the item with one of the consolation prizes during the remainder of the event.

 

A full list of the items to be auctioned will be provided in the days leading up to the auction and will specify which items will be released on which day.  Of course, the Tower Hill family wants everyone to have a small taste of what is to come, and thus it is said that a sample of what is to gain by those who enter is as follows:

 

·         Elanthian real estate

·         Defensive bonus items

·         High-end weapons and armors of rare quality

·         Rare magical relics, from spell casting to understanding other languages

·         Unique items with custom flair and personality

·         Unheard of tattoo types – a new experimental breed

 

From everything above to Chronomage daggers and exploding mushrooms to bottomless quivers, lightning swords, and dedicated Arkati relics, there is a little something for everyone to enjoy.

 

Auction Mechanics

 

To see what is up for bids, simply look at the list that is on the lectern.  You’ll get a list of all the items that will be auctioned in that room, as well as what is up for bids in both auction rooms.

 

Items begin in storage, and the only way to see them is to look at the list on the lectern.  Items will be released from storage into a chest in the auction room until the chest has approximately five total.  The auctioneer will choose from these which item to put up for auction by moving it onto the table nearby.  When the item is on the table, it can be inspected, looked at and appraised to get more information on its construction.  After moving an item onto the table for bids, the auctioneer may offer some information on the item’s properties, and then will give some time for the bidders to ask questions for more information.  Once the bidding begins, however, questions should end.

 

Those wishing to bid in either auction room will receive a token when they arrive.  Keep in mind that the token is not a physical item.  Don’t worry about losing it.

 

To bid on an item you wish to win in a token auction (the Azure Chamber), simply BID TOKEN.  You will cast your token and you will be entered.  Once the bidding is closed, all tokens will be collected and a winner will be chosen from the token exactly as if in a raffle.  Those whose tokens have not been chosen will get their token back and are free to bid on other items up for bid in a token auction.  The winner pays for their item with their token and does not receive it back.  If you change your mind about bidding your token, use WITHDRAW TOKEN to pull it back.

 

To bid on an item in the silver auction (the Jade Chamber), you will BID <amount> for how much you wish to bid, in silver.  Silver bids can be made in straight numbers, such as 1000, or can be made in terms of thousands or millions by using ‘k’ or ‘m’ at the end, such as 100k or 2m.  Decimals are also recognized, so you can make a bid of 7.5k if you so choose.

 

You can only bid how many silvers you have with you in cash or notes at the time.  There are no runners and Premium checkbooks will not work.  The auctioneer will acknowledge your bid if it is the highest.  It is possible that bids will be required to be at least 10% greater than the current high bid, so be careful how much you want to bid!  Again, the item’s winner will give up their token to get the item.  One item per bidder, no matter which room it comes from.

 

When an item is sold, it is moved under the table where the winner can pick it up.  If the winner is unable to pick it up (unable to handle the bonus, for example), he can ask the auctioneer for help.

 

Official Auction Times

 

The auction will take place over the opening weekend of Ebon Gate.  Half of the auction items will be released on Saturday and half on Sunday.  The auctioneers will work each day in three shift times -- noon Eastern, 4pm Eastern and 8pm Eastern.  Each shift will cycle through a set batch of items until all of the items have been auctioned, the next cycle starts, or no further bids are put out for the items remaining in the current batch.  Items will move quickly, so do not miss out!

 

Auction Items

 

The following lists are for the items for sale.  It is not in order of when the items will go out.  The order is random instead, so something at the end could be the first to go out.

The torc bears a small circular slot which looks like it would fit a gold ring, which is encircled by a slender dial bearing five peculiar runes.

- leaves a fiery rune in the air when raised, marking one’s path

- rune will be unique to the person who creates it

- +37

- THW, rune staff base

- 35/305

- show: Burnished fireleaf comprises much of the length of this staff, the center of which has been cut away to reveal translucent red crystal beneath the wood.  The same blood-hued stone forms a perfect sphere at the tip of the staff.  A single dancing flame roars within the globe, sparking merrily though seemingly bereft of fuel or purchase.  You also notice a small enchanter’s glyph.

Quilina

Arience

10

a gold-inlaid illthorn shield

- tower shield

- +30

- +10 TD boost

- 65/215

- show: A trio of golden hawks shines in relief from the smooth-grained illthorn surface of the shield’s face, every feather of their widespread wings reproduced in painstaking detail. Otherwise, the beauty of the polished wood’s satin-finished face is left unsullied by overwhelming adornment.  Inlaid golden runes form a rough spiral down the back of the shield, which boasts a leather-wrapped handle.  You also notice a small enchanter’s glyph.

Nevrun

Crumbles

11

a viridescent woolen cloak

passed, won by Spenster in second chance

Rahsh

13

a swirled gold and brass disk inlaid with cabochon emeralds

- called a “Chronomage Ticket Disk”

- produces one Chronomage ticket per day for travel between Solhaven and River’s Rest (or perhaps to either of those towns instead)

- show: This glittering disk is small enough to fit comfortably into a human’s hand and about as thick as a finger.  An exquisite piece of metalsmithing, the disk is crafted of gold and brass intricately engraved with interlocking whorls.  A cabochon emerald is set at the center of the disk, and a ring of gold along the outer rim, inset flush with the body of the disk, appears to be able to rotate to move a narrow window around the circumference.  Currently, the text “Solhaven” shows in the window.

passed, possibly to sell Sunday, won by Wal in second chance

not sold

14

- does not work with cobbled shoes and perhaps other player-created pieces

- appears not to work with items with shows

- does not appear to break, or have a limit on uses

- not worn, holds very large for a couple items

- show: A pattern of tiny red rubies and garnets spills across the surface of the box.  Were they not inlaid into its smoothly reflective surface, they might appear haphazardly scattered in a fit of whimsy.  Herons worked of blued mithril lacquer adorn the sides of the box.  Their emerald eyes wink and dance with green fire.  The clasp sealing the coffer is an inordinately complex confection wrought of interlocking thread-thin mithril bars.

Koquette

Airyth

15

a copper-leafed labradorite ring

- 2x DB item

- 10/205

- pinworn, no pockets, functional

- show: A shield-shaped fragment of iridescent blue labradorite is set into the ring, the dizzying striations of the stone weaving and darting about darker veins just beneath the shimmering surface.  Trefoil leaves of sullen red copper adorn the gentle slope of the band, so delicate and lifelike in appearance that it seems they might stir in a passing breeze.  Hints of a smooth golden surface wink between the leaves like glimpses of sunlight through a forest canopy.  You also notice a small enchanter’s glyph.

Gravely

Eronderl

16

an amethyst-set enameled ora ring

- called a fire ring, summons small balls of purple fire to play with

- recharges with fire spells

- requires 1 rank of MIU to use

- fingerworn, functional

- show: Violet enamel forms a series of waves that wash over the rim of the wide band, matching the hue but not the brilliance of the rich-hued inlaid amethyst that crowns it.  The stone is cut in a manner that enhances its natural fire such that the glinting reflected luminescence within never seems to go dim.  Etched into the reverse of the band are jagged patterns of stylized flame.

Teegan

17

a bright coraesine handaxe marked with a flight of ravens

- pure coraesine handaxe

- 5x

- immediately attunes to the winner, no known way to break attunement

- 95/240

- show: You see nothing unusual.

Two bands of sigils are engraved along the length of the blade, intertwining among one another as they twist and shift slowly.

The swirling orb-shaped sigil pulses rapidly with a pale white glow.

A wreath of misty thorns continually spiral and twist around the length of the coraesine handaxe in a twining dance, their tips swept with deep scarlet.

Sorrowen

Faelln

18

an ora-plated argent golvern hammerbeak

- permablessed with holy water flares

- 6x

- blunt, war hammer base

- 84/254

- scripted

- show: Gleaming golvern the hue of a rainy sky comprises the tapered head of the hammer.  Tiny shards of blue sapphire wink from the metal, each polished to a smoothness like the surface of a still pond.  Below, the witchwood haft is cut with a series of sloping lines that flow opposite the winding length of pale leather wrapping the shaft.  A faint aura of holy light radiates from the hammerbeak.

Arkaneus

Waldmar

19

a jade-pommeled vaalorn espadon graced with spirals of etched runes

- called a “Trollslayer”

- locates trolls in the area, bonuses to attacks against them

- 6x

- edged and THW, bastard sword base

- 85/230

- will work on any type of troll (including Grimswarm)

- show for non-elven races: Tiny wisps of smoke rise from the vaalorn espadon’s blade.  Beautifully crafted and well balanced, you are not quite sure you have ever seen a espadon so finely made.  Obviously elven workmanship, this espadon has ancient elven runes running along the blade.  But alas, not being an elf, you can’t make out what knowledge they seek to impart.

- show for elven races: Tiny wisps of smoke rise from the vaalorn espadon’s blade.  Beautifully crafted and well balanced, you are not quite sure you have ever seen a espadon so finely made.  Forged by elves many, many years ago, the vaalorn espadon’s blade crawls with runes telling of the great battles between the elves and the trolls.  The runes bespeak of the power of this espadon and its dedicated purpose of locating and dispatching trolls and their kin.

Farliegh

passed

20

a slim-bladed black alloy greataxe

- ShadowDeath weapon, currently 5x but enchant will vary

- 70/155

- THW, battle axe base

- Gilie says, “They have two attacks - one that works against the living only, and another that is a flaring attack.  They will do some fairly heavy damage as well.”

- Gilie says, “ShadowDeath weapons are exceptionally difficult to create, as they require a darken or a soulstone and a very dark place to forge the weapon. They literally are darken/sentient souls bound to the weapon and are therefore the worst sort of evil.”

- Oyr says, “ShadowDeath weapons have two attack modes...”

- Oyr says, “One is a life drain attack, which only works on the living.”

- Oyr says, “The second is a straight flaring attack, which is inflicted on the target as a lifedrain attack.”

- Oyr says, “There is a ceiling on the damage it causes.”

- show: Dripping tendrils of shadow cling to the impressive length of the greataxe’s slender blade, growing less substantial and sublimating into dark mist as they part from the weapon completely.  The stygian metal seems, at times, to be caught in state between liquidity and solidity, but its true edge is never less than razor-sharp.  Faint carmine ornamentation is visible through the twitching and blurring of the blade.   Above a hilt wrapped in mottled white leather, the guard is a simple twist of golden metal.  You also notice a small enchanter’s glyph.

Ikazutchi

passed

21

a muted grey canvas sack

- beltworn, holds medium for any number of items

- contains a wrinkly shrunken orc head with a sickly grey pallor

- Gilie says, “It provides a chance to catch thieves in the act, in which case the head will perform one of several actions including alarming the room and injuring the thief.”

- Gilie says, “Oh and I’m told that they like to munch on snacks, so if you do get it, you should be careful where you store it.”

- Gilie rubs her shrunken orc head, causing a small amount of dandruff to fall from its scalp.  The muscles in the head’s face relax and it goes quiet.

- Gilie waves her shrunken orc head around in the air, and it begins jabbering frantically in an unknown tongue!

- Gilie violently shakes her shrunken orc head.

A small vein bulges momentarily in the shrunken orc head’s temple.

- head show: The wrinkly grey skin has been pulled tight on the head, which appears once to have belonged to an orc.  The head has oily black hair and a flat stumpy nose.  Barbed metal stitches have been sewn along the neck and eyelids of the head.  The stitches are coated with a layer of brownish-black crust composed of blood and dirt.

Silwyk

22

a calligraphed pallid vellum certificate

- used to change an armor’s subgroup

- may only change armor within its group (soft leather stays as soft leather, for example)

- armor weight will change, maintains the same proportion to the standard weight as the original armor

- must be redeemed in 30 days

- show: Swirls of rose gold cling to the edges of the certificate, forming sharp-edged geometric patterns that slacken into lazy spirals toward the stiff parchment’s center, giving way to fanciful calligraphy in reflective black ink.  The words glisten like beads of onyx against the stark white paper beneath.

- read in Plat: This certificate authorizes the bearer to receive services from the merchant Vagrand on the grounds of Velathae, or the merchant Gostika beyond the walls of the village.  Either shall be willing to redeem it and can completely rebuild a piece of armor into another class while preserving all of its other capabilities, less its given encumbrance, intact.  (Contact:  GM Sirina)

- read in Prime: This certificate authorizes the bearer to receive services from the merchant Vagrand on the grounds of Velathae, or the merchant Gostika beyond the walls of the village.  Either shall be willing to redeem it and can rebuild a piece of armor into another sub-class (same class ONLY) while preserving all of its other capabilities, less its given encumbrance, intact.  (GM Contact:  Sirina)

23

a rose-veined white gold ring

- called a “wyrdling ring”

- appears to allow a wizard to summon unique wyrdling familiars when 920 is cast at it

- cast a spell of a specific element at the ring to set the type of wyrdling summoned to that element (for example, cast minor water at the ring to summon water wyrdlings)

- must know how to cast 920 from training or from a scroll (said in Prime that only wizards can use)

- allows a wizard to summon a wyrdling not of the wizard’s attuned element

- can turn the ring to change other attributes of the wyrdling

- can’t be altered

- show: Rose-veined white gold twines about itself to form an unusually twisted ring, each twist demarcated by a tiny etching of one of the five elements:  air, earth, fire, lightning, and water.  The ring culminates in an elaborate half-bezel setting which cradles a pear-cut iridescent pale brown crystal.  The pale brown hues of the crystal shimmer in the ambient light, lending the illusion of neverending depths.  The crystal leans slightly to the left in its setting.

Evelith

- permanent heavy crit padding

- 10/230

- loresong

- not alterable

- show: Thin layers of off-white linen are bound together to form a thin yet durable set of robes that are side, front, and back slit to the hip.  Faint padding along the chest displays a quilted pattern of grey threads that give the garment an almost grey appearance, while the shoulders are pleated into a gathered effect that creates a voluminous and deep hood.  Long sleeves, which are wide, deep, and long, trail to bell-shaped cuffs.  You also notice a small enchanter’s glyph.

41

some sepia-hued leather gloves

- +5 harness power, +5 mana recovery and +1 spirit recovery, 80 charges

- worn on hands, holds very small for a couple items

- show: Upon first glance, the gloves are plain and unassuming; the dark sepia dye used on the material is even, and the stitches along the seams are invisible.  However, an examination of the palms of the gloves finds that a similarly hued filament with a slight iridescence has been used to embroider archaic sigils along the fingers and palms of each.  The quality of the threading is such that when looked at straight on, the sewing is invisible, but when turned into the light, the symbols shimmer into visibility.

Laethia is stunned!

- show: Carved from the rare wood of the wyrwood tree, this bow is of fine quality. The limbs are stained a light grassy green, allowing the natural grain to show through. The deeper green handle has been carved for a comfortable grip, and a pale beige string is connected to the bow’s notches. The bow’s most unusual feature is a long, extra string attached to the lower tip, from which dangles an arrow shaft ending in a red suction cup. A tiny clip serves to snap the arrow in place on the bow’s lower limb.

Clusters of curved barbs trace the edge of the blade, each pointing backwards towards the hilt, lending the weapon a decidedly wicked appearance.

- chest read in Common: Property of Maroscetic the Magnificent

- parchment read in Common: Little is known of this chest and nothing of “Maroscetic the Magnificent.”  The chest, and the toy within it, were found abandoned roadside once upon a time.  Only this, and nothing more, is known.  Make of it what you will.  (Contact GM Xynwen for Loresong.)

- toy show: Set on a small platform of wrought iron and mahogany with rune-carved silver wheels, this toy is carved of dark widowwood into the likeness of a humanoid demon.  The demon’s visage glares at the world with blood red sapphire eyes, and his carved teeth are accented with sharp slivers of glaes.  The frightening effect of the toy is diminished markedly, however, by the whimsical outfit of motley bedecking the demon.  Someone has even placed a small marotte in his hands and a belled jester’s hat on his head.

a phenomenal bubble flare certificate

- certificate for “Super Bubble Flare” service

- Bubble flares from Ebon Gate 2008 were added to weapons.  When the weapons flared, a bubble appeared to grant the wielder the equivalent of heavy damage padding for a minute that stacked with other padding in place.  Flaring again refreshed the duration.

- The “super bubble flares” will provide much higher protection.  The creator has speculated that the wielder might not take damage unless uphunting beyond what they should be hunting, and with haste might remain invulnerable for entire battles.  It also lasts a minute, refreshes with a new flare and stacks with existing padding.

- Bubble flares only may be placed on melee weapons up to +35 with no existing scripts, flares, weighting and so on.  They do not add to a person’s defense and work best for those people who do get hit in battle.

- read: The bearer of this certificate is entitled to the addition of “Phenomenal Bubble Flares” to an eligible weapon of choice.  It must be redeemed by the 6th of Eoantos (November 6th, 2009) or the prize is forfeit.  For information on redeeming, contact GM Cirath (GS4-CIRATH@PLAY.NET).  ~Ebon Gate Auction, 5109.

Asmitros removes a strip of dark spice-crusted bacon from in his cast iron skillet.

- Asmitros sloppily licks the bottom of his cast iron skillet and, despite the incivility of the action, seems to enjoy every moment.

- produces feathers once a day with similar properties (speculated on creating fletchings)

- cloakworn, no pockets, functional

- cannot be worn by Aelotoi since they already have wings

- As Rohese drapes the wings across her shoulders, they take on a life of their own.  The wings float briefly above her, with outstretched plumage brilliantly displayed.  Flapping once, the wings extend slender, thorn-like tendrils from their base, piercing Rohese’s back!  She flinches for a moment, and seconds later, the wings fold across her body at rest.

- Rohese tears savagely at her back, clawing at the base of the silver-blue wings where they have sprouted from her body.  With a final and forceful yank, she wrenches the wings from herself, spraying blood all over the place from the gaping wounds and raw flesh upon her back.

- show: Opalescent silver-blue pinions compose these beautiful wings.  Each silky feather showcases coruscant hues reminiscent of a frozen tundra beneath a cold winter’s sky with its shimmering silvers and iridescent blues, culminating in an amazing array of cool colors.  A frosty coating of glimmering ice clings to the magnificent wings, never melting from the dense plumage despite the temperature.  With the slightest movement, delicate ice crystals radiate forth from the feathers in a dazzling display.

- effect begin: Sparks of scarlet light blaze over the surface of Laethia’s eahnor glove.

Laethia clenches her gloveed fist, and a primal scream cuts through the air around her.  Her musculature swells visibly as a wash of scarlet light blazes from beneath her skin.

- idle scripts while active: Gentle radiance builds in a hazy and uncertain sphere about Laethia’s eahnor glove.  Brighter specks of light dart through the misty globe like scarlet fireflies.

Luminescent scarlet streamers slither across the back of Laethia’s glove before twining together and vanishing in a small flash.

Scarlet glimmers flow over the back of Laethia’s gloved hand as her eahnor glove emits a softly musical sound like the tolling of bells.

A small series of scarlet sparks dances along the eahnor fingers of Laethia’s glove, dissipating as they reach the knuckles.

Shafts of light burst through the segmented eahnor bulk of Laethia’s glove, redolent with scintillating scarlet motes.

A halo of shimmering scarlet brilliance coruscates over Laethia’s eahnor glove with a sound like booming thunder.

- effect end: Her skin blanching, Laethia appears strangely feeble.  Her musculature visibly deflates, leaving her skin looking slack.

When contrasted with the depth of darkness present in the alloy, the gauntlet’s black segments appear as naught but a wan memory of darkness.  You also notice a small enchanter’s glyph.

- Selfonia says, “This nifty little kit contains to potions to enhance your constitution, your strength, two custom perfumes for he and she, bandages, a potion kit, drinking vessels, and a mortar and pestle.”

- potions have twenty sips

- contains: a matte black kelyn pestle capped with a lavender blue blazestar, a nightshade purple stone mortar flecked with silver and gold inclusions, a pale goat hide wineskin marked with primitive cobalt blue glyphs, a square-shaped wifurwif cake, a bottle of effervescent snow blue spirits, a milky-swirled spruce green elixir, a fizzy sunset red rosehip extract, a citron green glass phial sparked with silvery crystalline motes, a gold-foiled black marble ampulla inset with tiny star-cut pinpricks, a twinkling mimosa pink potion, a large roll of cotton, a small roll of silk, a tiny posy of violet woth flowers, a bunch of skinny haphip roots, a verdant green bolmara restorative, a sharp orange bur-clover tonic, a marshy green tisane of acantha

- You sniff delicately at the black marble ampulla, and detect the faint scent of freshly cut wyrmwood bark and sun-warmed mezereon.

You have the woodsy blend of freshly cut wyrmwood bark and sun-warmed mezereon drifting about you.  Tangy yew berry notes ricochet off of the potent, yet mellow aura of pennyroyal, arnica, and rhododendron.

- You sniff delicately at the green glass phial, and detect the faint scent of concentrated tuberose softened by airy jessamine heart notes.

You have the dizzying concentration of redolent tuberose laced with lily of the valley clinging to your skin.  Staggering breaths of oleander and azalea rise from beneath the lighter jessamine heart notes, enhancing the vernal fragrance’s sweetness.

a dusky yellow canvas sack

- contains a waxy yellow imp head stitched with coarse catgut sutures

- beltworn, holds medium for any number of items

- can alarm the room or injure the thief

- numerous idle scripts

- Sheerise waves her yellow imp head around in the air, and it begins jabbering frantically in an unknown tongue!

- While staring intently at his yellow imp head, Nelsen suddenly collapses!

- Nelsen rubs his yellow imp head, causing a small amount of dandruff to fall from its scalp.  The muscles in the head's face relax and it goes quiet.

- Nelsen raises his yellow imp head above his head, giving it a bird's-eye view, despite the fact that its eyelids are stitched shut and it can't see a thing.

a twisted white gold ring

- called a “wyrdling ring”

- appears to allow a wizard to summon unique wyrdling familiars when 920 is cast at it

- cast a spell of a specific element at the ring to set the type of wyrdling summoned to that element (for example, cast minor water at the ring to summon water wyrdlings)

- must know how to cast 920 from training or a scroll (said in Prime that only wizards can use)

- allows a wizard to summon a wyrdling not of the wizard’s attuned element

- can turn the ring to change other attributes of the wyrdling

- not alterable

- show: Rose-veined white gold twines about itself to form an unusually twisted ring, each twist demarcated by a tiny etching of one of the five elements:  air, earth, fire, lightning, and water.  The ring culminates in an elaborate half-bezel setting which cradles a pear-cut iridescent pale brown crystal.  The pale brown hues of the crystal shimmer in the ambient light, lending the illusion of neverending depths.  The crystal leans slightly to the right in its setting.

a phenomenal bubble flare certificate

- certificate for “Super bubble Flare” service

- Bubble flares from Ebon Gate 2008 were added to weapons.  When the weapons flared, a bubble appeared to grant the wielder the equivalent of heavy damage padding for a minute that stacked with other padding in place.  Flaring again refreshed the duration.

- The “super bubble flares” will provide much higher protection.  The creator has speculated that the wielder might not take damage unless uphunting beyond what they should be hunting, and with haste might remain invulnerable for entire battles.  It also lasts a minute, refreshes with a new flare and stacks with existing padding.

- Bubble flares only may be placed on melee weapons up to +35 with no existing scripts, flares, weighting and so on.  They do not add to a person’s defense and work best for those people who do get hit in battle.

- read in Common: The bearer of this certificate is entitled to the addition of “Phenomenal Bubble Flares” to an eligible weapon of choice.  It must be redeemed by the 6th of Eoantos (November 6th, 2009) or the prize is forfeit.  For information on redeeming, contact GM Cirath (GS4-CIRATH@PLAY.NET).  ~Ebon Gate Auction, 5109.

- can be altered

- 35/290

- show: Exposed golden stitches bind together a plethora of boiled leather pieces to create a suit of armor that is garish and accented with crimson straps joined by gold buckles.  Each strip of leather is different in size and hue from its neighbor, while the straps and buckles are elegantly designed with images of jesters, tumblers, or mummers moving through crowds.  A labyrinthine weave of various lute strings winds around the sturdy vambraces and shin guards in a chaotic pattern of blended colors.  You also notice a small enchanter’s glyph.
