Scavenger Hunt!!

[awdz]

I posted this under the wanted posters; official start time will be 3 pm Pacific Daylight Time:

Another message posted in tidy scrawl...

WANTED: Scavengers.
All submissions to be subject to my evaluation.
Prizes to be awarded.
Contact Awdz Bodkins if interested

I plan to post a list of 10 items and give 2 hours for completion. The 1st contestant to get all 10 items (linking them in public chat where I announce the list) gets 10 Ambrosia VII and a [Winter's Rose]; any others who complete it within the time limit will get at least 2 Ambrosia VII. I'll try to make cookies for everyone who participates, too.

There will be flexibility in what I accept, within reason. For example, if I list "pungent flower" and you link either [Golden Bloom] (a fragrant blossom) or [Maple Sap] (it flows and has a distinctive odor) then you would get credit for that item. Please note that I must be able to access the link in order for you to get credit for it (I do not have item stack available to actually take any submitted items from you so you get to keep them).

Tentatively I'm planning September 5 in the afternoon or evening US time, but that is likely to change pending my schedule between now and then. If there is interest in having it run another time, I may do another (different list) session of it the following Saturday in the morning US time.

Anyone who shows up is welcome to join in! :-)

To find what 3 pm PDT is according to your local time, here's a site that might help you convert it:
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ Los Angeles, Phoenix and San Francisco are all on PDT.

[awdz]

Reminder! It's coming right up! Please join us! :-)

[velveeta]

is it still 3pm pst?

[awdz]

It's 3 pm PDT - Pacific DAYLIGHT Time - that it will start; I'll be sticking around for 2 hours in Bristugo for folks to show me what they collected and to distribute prizes to those who complete it. Yes, if you don't get it all the first time and still have time left, you can gather what you're missing and show it all to me again. Only one prize per participant, though.

[velveeta]

i will bring derexx on to observe, he prolly can't do much hunting and doesn't have the tools anyway! but he can certain take some screenies and post a repost for the queen!

[awdz]

Before I get into the scavenger hunt, it helps if you know the day before I reported this:

Because I was towing my portable library, I had to walk back into
Dralk for the portal. Along the way I came across a depressed dragon standing
all alone. Hoping to cheer him up, I greeted him - and Brysmendrik promptly
relieved me of my bag of myloc heads! :-( I was too stunned to stop him before
it was too late. He refused to return them, but he gave me portal access to
Draak in compensation. *pouts* I want the bag of heads back, he does not need
yet another bagful. And why doesn't the council of ancients do something about
that hazardous waste he's collecting, the stinking pile of myloc heads?

So the scavenger hunt started...
[MarketPlace: Awdz] *lands in bristugo coughing and complaining about getting attuned to draak*
[MarketPlace: Awdz] *brushes a strand of hair out of her face* i cannot believe brysmendrik would not give me back my bag of myloc heads!
[MarketPlace: Awdz] i wonder if i can get them back... i'll have to snitch them, though so i'll need a useful gadget to grab them with
[MarketPlace: Awdz] and something to help me move faster... better have something to distract him with, like a musical instrument
[MarketPlace: Awdz] maybe i could hide behind a shield? i should make it look sturdy so he does not try to bite it - maybe if a stuck something in it, like a tusk...
[MarketPlace: Awdz] i hope i don't need to use a weapon; i don't have time to craft one now
[MarketPlace: Awdz] maybe camoflage would help, like winding vines around me. *sighs* if i can pull this off, i deserve a star - herbal, to cover the smell of those awful heads...
[MarketPlace: Awdz] he might pick up on my gnomish smell. maybe i can use a fragrant flower to cover my scent?

So the official list of things needed was:
a lost head;
a useful gadget;
something to help the user move faster;
a musical instrument;
a distinctive shield;
a tusk;
something grown on a vine;
a weapon that cannot be crafted by gifted but can be used in battle;
an herbal star; and
a fragrant flower

Of the folks around, two managed to get all the items for me in the time allotted: Thaalia and Tagath.

Thaalia's presentation:
Thaalia] [<!--LI 8102599 13433509>Head of Mani the Dire Wolf<!--/LI>] a lost head, [<!--LI 8102599 12725677>Adamantium Sunscope<!--/LI>] a useful gadget, [<!--LI 8102599 10883631>Dark Purple Ironsilk Cargo Boots<!--/LI>] something to help the user move faster, [<!--LI 8102599 12723642>Shield Tech Kit: Crest of the Blackhammer Clan<!--/LI>] a distinctive shield (sorry I haven't actually made the shield yet), [<!--LI 8102599 8102180>Silver Whistle<!--/LI>] musical instrument
Thaalia] [<!--LI 8102599 13570088>Fire Wolf Fang<!--/LI>] a tusk, [<!--LI 8102599 13570224>White Grapes<!--/LI>] something grown on a vine, [<!--LI 8102599 12924332>Demonbane Spike<!--/LI>] weapon that can't be crafted, [<!--LI 8102599 11540240>Star Anise<!--/LI>] an herbal star, [<!--LI 8102599 8021591>Winter's Rose<!--/LI>] a fragrant flower
Awdz] looking good thaalia, but i need a shield not a tech
Awdz] the rest would work
Thaalia] hhmmm well I don't use shields but I can make a cross shield if that woudl work
Awdz] was looking for something a little more distinctive than a cross
Thaalia] ok
Thaalia] these are the only 2 shields I have [<!--LI 8102599 9811447>Obsidian Socketed Fine Mithril Large Shield<!--/LI>][<!--LI 8102599 11611518> Blighted Fine Mithril Large Shield<!--/LI>] but I use a 2 handed weapon so I don't ever even use them
Awdz] they're nice but there's nothing on them to mark them as yours
Awdz] so i guess i'd accept a shield that was crafted if you had it specially marked so that it was distinctive
Thaalia] *frowns at the [<!--LI 8102599 9811447>Obsidian Socketed Fine Mithril Large Shield<!--/LI>] propped up against the vault wall* hmmm let's see * rummages in the guildhouse, spilling [<!--LI 8102599 1995124>Green Dye<!--/LI>][<!--LI 8102599 12384831>Garnet Dye<!--/LI>][<!--LI 8102599 12399610>Gold Dye<!--/LI>] everywhere
Awdz] *beams excitedly, watching thaalia at work*
derexx] look at all the pretty colors!
Thaalia] *looks for something to paint with *wonder if this will work*[<!--LI 8102599 13555807>Silver Papyrus Stem<!--/LI>]
Pyretta] (has a real obvioius one, pokes with chicken feather)
Awdz] *wonders if the papyrus will give a broader stroke than a stylus*
Thaalia] *pulls out her [<!--LI 8102599 10984616>Mithril Istarian Army Knife<!--/LI>] and shapes the stem*
derexx] you would paint on the papyrus, wouldn't you?
Awdz] on it? only after it's been flattened into a [<!--LI 8432625 11797508>White Papyrus Sheet<!--/LI>]
derexx] o yes, of course
Thaalia] nope, the stems are used to make papyrus sheets
Tesp] Maybe you could use some gruok bristles?
Thaalia] that might work Tesp!
derexx] wrap em onto a stylus and you have a brush
Thaalia] *pulls out a handful of [<!--LI 8102599 12697025>Gruok Bristles<!--/LI>], dabs the ends in [<!--LI 8102599 11690973>Yew Sap<!--/LI>] to stick them all together, puts them on the end on [<!--LI 8102599 12043573>Light Green Socketed Yew Alteration Wand<!--/LI>] and wraps with [<!--LI 8102599 12560150>Elite Blight Bindings<!--/LI>] to hold them on
derexx] that's the ticket!
derexx] that's a useful gadget
Pyretta] now what it do?
Thaalia] *sits down in front of the shield with pots of dye and carefully starts to paint*
Awdz] very interesting tinkering! *jots something down in her [<!--LI 8432625 12792805>Journal of Copious Notes<!--/LI>]*
derexx] necessity is indeed the mother of gnomes!
Awdz] *nods seriously* gnomes are very needed!
Leeif] then the [<!--LI 12444195 4873671>Spell: Boom!<!--/LI>] when the power button is pushed ; )
derexx] even mistakes are successes
Thaalia] *paints two broad stripes of [<!--LI 8102599 12399610>Gold Dye<!--/LI>] diagonally from right to left
Thaalia] * a large diamond of [<!--LI 8102599 12384831>Garnet Dye<!--/LI>] in the middle
Thaalia] *outlines the whole with [<!--LI 8102599 12399187>Light Blue Dye<!--/LI>]
Thaalia] *stands back and looks at the shield* hmmmm still needs something
Pyretta] [<!--LI 11359797 13569919>Fire Opal<!--/LI>][<!--LI 11359797 13569915>Emerald<!--/LI>][<!--LI 11359797 13569941>Peridot<!--/LI>] gives to thallia
Thaalia] *starts rummaging through the other guildhouse
Thaalia] OOOoooo thank you Pyretta!
Thaalia] *lugs a [<!--LI 8102599 12625574>Dark Green Socketed Yew Bucket<!--/LI>] full of [<!--LI 8102599 11690973>Yew Sap<!--/LI>] back to the vault and begins to stick the gems to the middle of the shield in a large "T"
Thaalia] *adds a couple of [<!--LI 8102599 8492663>Shard of Faces<!--/LI>] in the top left corner
Thaalia] *several [<!--LI 8102599 12835505>Ethereal Shard<!--/LI>] in the bottom right corner
Thaalia] *proudly hold up her new shiny <!--LI 8102599 9811447>["T's" Custom Painted and Embelished Shield]* there you go Awdz !
Awdz] yay thaalia!! you've gotten everything required :-)

Tagath's presentation:
derexx] 20 minutes left!
Awdz] wowsers, getting close to the finish
Tagath] If I can only GET there!
Tagath] *flaps wildly*
Tagath] A lost skull: [<!--LI 7321929 13569896>Winter Wolf Skull<!--/LI>]

GreenYoshi] lol im killing winter wolves right now
Tagath] A useful gadget: [<!--LI 7321929 12851930>Adamantium Sunscope<!--/LI>]
Tagath] To move faster, [<!--LI 7321929 13468730> Marble Power Wing Scale<!--/LI>][<!--LI 7321929 13468721> Marble Power Wing Scale<!--/LI>]

Tagath] *attacks with a[<!--LI 7321929 13569913>Swordfish<!--/LI>]*

So now I need to know... should I try to run another scavenger hunt (same format but different items) on Saturday September 11 starting at 6 am Pacific Daylight Time? Would anyone try to gather everything?
Please let me know!

[Holth]

Thanks for all your hard work Awdz! The scavenger hunt was awesome fun!!

Thaalia of Order

[awdz]

The second scavenger hunt will be held Saturday September 11 at 6 am PDT (or as close to that as I can manage). The list will be different from the one I used before; otherwise, same rules. :-)

[velveeta]

i shall try to be there!!! i have a couple screenies from teh last one, i will post them as soon as i get a sec!

[awdz]

*grins with a mischievous gleam in her eye* the new theme for the hunt less than 12 hours from now has been set up... see you there! :-)

[awdz]

Well, the scavenger hunt had some fun results; my edited log has the times relative to the scheduled hunt starting time of 00:00:00 (no, i don't know what time zone that would be). It goes for as long as I followed it. Enjoy! :-)

00:00:28] Awdz] *looks at [<!--LI 8432625 9960051>Water Clock<!--/LI>] and groans* only two hours? i'm going to need help!!
00:00:34] Awdz] ack! doc tarrant and finagle biggletorque should not be housed together!!
00:00:39] Awdz] they've come up with the idea that between them they can make a test dummy for new spells and attacks, if they just had the parts to do it...
00:00:44] Awdz] each test dummy requires a lot of parts
00:00:49] Awdz] *grimaces* and considering some of the items on the list, the final thing is likely to be hideous! but for research, we do what we must because we can!
00:00:54] Awdz] ummm... and when they apply the bolt spell to activate it... *shudders*
00:01:07] Awdz] the items needed must come from different sources - no killing a cow and submitting all its parts as the pieces needed. only one item from each category is needed.
00:01:07] Awdz] on top, a head/skull/brain; for mouth, jaw/mandible/gullet; to bite, tooth/tusk/fang; a sensory piece, eye/ear/snout; an appendage, leg/tail/tentacle/thighbone;
00:01:07] Awdz] bodily cover, pelt/chitin/carapace/skin; outer growth, hair/bristles/fin/fringe; internal component, fragment/chip/shard/ribs/pus packet; jointed, finger/toe/knuckles/wing/claw; and something on/in which to inscribe notes/test results
00:01:07] Awdz] you should have 10 items when done, one for each category; if you found a head, you do not need to also supply a skull or brain, because they are from the same category..
00:02:08] Awdz] hmm... let me try that list again with a little more pauses
00:02:25] C`gan] Hello there.
00:03:37] Maggus] *blinks* ......Alright....
00:03:40] Awdz] hiyas c`gan! just in time for the scavenger hunt!
00:04:14] C`gan] Sorry, Awdz. I heard Tagath got in on your last one, but I'm afraid I can't do the same this time.
00:04:31] Awdz] <ooc - sorry about the spam but i could not test the hot keys beforehand>
00:04:47] Awdz] well, just so you know what's going on, i'll start over...
00:04:51] Awdz] ack! doc tarrant and finagle biggletorque should not be housed together!!
00:04:56] Awdz] they've come up with the idea that between them they can make a test dummy for new spells and attacks, if they just had the parts to do it...
00:05:01] Awdz] each test dummy requires a lot of parts
00:05:06] Awdz] *grimaces* and considering some of the items on the list, the final thing is likely to be hideous! but for research, we do what we must because we can!
00:05:11] Awdz] ummm... and when they apply the bolt spell to activate it... *shudders*
00:05:26] Awdz] the items needed must come from different sources - no killing a cow and submitting all its parts as the pieces needed. only one item from each category is needed.
00:05:32] Awdz] on top, a head/skull/brain; for mouth, jaw/mandible/gullet; to bite, tooth/tusk/fang; a sensory piece, eye/ear/snout; an appendage, leg/tail/tentacle/thighbone;
00:05:38] Awdz] bodily cover, pelt/chitin/carapace/skin; outer growth, hair/bristles/fin/fringe; internal component, fragment/chip/shard/ribs/pus packet; jointed, finger/toe/knuckles/wing/claw; and something on/in which to inscribe notes/test results
00:05:42] GreenYoshi] wa?
00:05:44] Awdz] you should have 10 items when done, one for each category; if you found a head, you do not need to also supply a skull or brain, because they are from the same category..
00:06:42] Awdz] when you have the 9 body parts and the thing for notes ready, you can show them to me here
00:10:42] Awdz] essentially i need a head, a jaw, a tooth, a sensory organ, an appendage, a body covering, an outer growth, an internal body part, a jointed body part, and something to inscribe notes on
00:16:06] Awdz] any parts (intact or otherwise) after the testing will be yours to keep
00:37:18] Awdz] to reiterate (briefly) what is needed for doc tarrant & finagle biggletorque's combined research project...
00:37:21] Awdz] essentially i need a head, a jaw, a tooth, a sensory organ, an appendage, a body covering, an outer growth, an internal body part, a jointed body part, and something to inscribe notes on
00:38:45] Awdz] let me know if you want the longer list that explains what is accepted for each category
00:52:51] Awdz] *brings a set of components to doc tarrant and finagle biggletorque and watches as between them they assemble the pieces*
00:53:36] Awdz] *starting with [<!--LI 8432625 11252974>Tochak's Head<!--/LI>], they attach a [<!--LI 8432625 13463429>Giant Flame Beetle Mandible<!--/LI>] with [<!--LI 8432625 12855585>Mani's Fang<!--/LI>] affixed to it*
00:54:34] Awdz] *putting the [<!--LI 8432625 11785725>Lone Wolf Hide<!--/LI>] next to encompass the body cavity, they fill it with [<!--LI 8432625 12667197>Diamond Golem Chip<!--/LI>]*
00:55:19] Awdz] *[<!--LI 8432625 11835536>Green Vexator Fringe<!--/LI>] is attached to the outside of the hide, [<!--LI 8432625 13463208>Bloodsnout Snout<!--/LI>] is affixed to the front of the head*
00:56:13] Awdz] *a [<!--LI 8432625 13212996>Carrion Crawler Tentacle<!--/LI>] is applied as an appendage, with [<!--LI 8432625 13463545>Zombie Ogre Toe<!--/LI>] on the end of it for extra dexterity*
00:56:38] Awdz] *turning over [<!--LI 8432625 11664577>Map of the Dalimond Peninsula<!--/LI>], they use the back as a writing surface on which to make notes*
00:57:28] Awdz] okies, here goes... *fires [<!--LI 8432625 11146529>Improved Lightning Bolt V of Withered Bane<!--/LI>] into the assemblage*
00:58:27] Awdz] *the abomination of nature shakes and starts to rise, then an awful howl sounds and all the pieces are split apart, ruining them for further use*
00:58:37] Awdz] aww crumblies, what went wrong?
00:59:31] Awdz] *looks at biggletorque's notes as tarrant muses at her, "was that spell tech'd with withered bane?!"*
01:00:00] Awdz] wowsers, now we need a whole 'nuther set of components
01:00:19] Awdz] can anyone help us?
01:00:32] Awdz] the items needed must come from different sources - no killing a cow and submitting all its parts as the pieces needed. only one item from each category is needed.
01:00:38] Awdz] on top, a head/skull/brain; for mouth, jaw/mandible/gullet; to bite, tooth/tusk/fang; a sensory piece, eye/ear/snout; an appendage, leg/tail/tentacle/thighbone;

01:00:50] Awdz] you should have 10 items when done, one for each category; if you found a head, you do not need to also supply a skull or brain, because they are from the same category..
01:01:31] Awdz] essentially i need a head, a jaw, a tooth, a sensory organ, an appendage, a body covering, an outer growth, an internal body part, a jointed body part, and something to inscribe notes on
01:02:04] Awdz] and i need them within the hour
01:02:27] Awdz] you can keep what is left of what you collect afterward
01:03:02] Awdz] <ooc - i don't have open item stack to actually accept them, so just linking them will be how you show me you collected them>
01:03:15] Awdz] i'll supply cookies and ambrosia to anyone who helps!
01:06:01] Maggus] [<!--LI 12079306 13556241>Forest Gruok Bristles<!--/LI>]~?
01:06:15] Awdz] those would be the outer growth :-)
01:31:58] Awdz] essentially i need a head, a jaw, a tooth, a sensory organ, an appendage, a body covering, an outer growth, an internal body part, a jointed body part, and something to inscribe notes on
01:32:10] Awdz] half an hour to go...
01:40:02] Wyst] *looks around nervously in case any of the dragons want to rip him apart for Awdz' needs*
01:43:24] Ricar] Mrrr I have some of those... why do I always wake up when these things are ending?
01:43:37] Awdz] *tells Doc Tarrant* i know that fire potion you want to test as a weapon on an animated thing will be useless in about twenty minutes as its potency fades, but we're working on getting the parts, really we are!
01:43:45] Awdz] essentially i need a head, a jaw, a tooth, a sensory organ, an appendage, a body covering, an outer growth, an internal body part, a jointed body part, and something to inscribe notes on
01:46:09] Awdz] *Doc Tarrant explains as patiently as he can to the not-very-helpful-yet gnome* "It's not fire; I do not work with that. I am a healer, and working with anti-toxins, I want to test this potion to see if it can undo the forces that knit together unnatural life forms."
01:47:57] Awdz] *to doc tarrant* so you want to poison undead with a thrown potion? *raises an eyebrow, not sure how that would work*
01:49:12] Awdz] *Finagle Biggletorque interjects, annoyed at the doubt of the value of their research* "Do you have the parts for me to tinker together yet?"
01:49:29] Awdz] *to Finagle Biggletorque* i'm going to see!!
01:50:07] Awdz] *scampers back into the marketplace* does anyone have the things i asked for before?
01:50:11] Awdz] essentially i need a head, a jaw, a tooth, a sensory organ, an appendage, a body covering, an outer growth, an internal body part, a jointed body part, and something to inscribe notes on
01:58:03] Awdz] anyone have even just some of the parts yet?

02:00:23] Awdz] ooh wonderful!!
02:00:40] Awdz] *races to delgarath with the items*
02:01:03] Shian] I have the bone. Apparantly it's attuned...[<!--LI 11871881 11573457>Skeleton bone<!--/LI>]
02:01:14] Awdz] *Finagle Biggletorque starts putting them together*
02:02:24] Awdz] *jawbone is attached to the skull, and mandibles added on to the jawbone* "A tooth or fang would have been better, but time is short so we shall make do."
02:03:09] Awdz] *sand beetle carapace is affixed below, with a skeleton bone to keep its shape*
02:04:03] Awdz] *the spider eye is placed in a socket of the skull while maggot entrails and the pus packet are packed inside the carapace*
02:05:01] Awdz] *the beetle leg is attached below, the chocolate being licked off fingers that attached it*
02:05:58] Awdz] *Finagle Biggletorque turns to the gnome* do you have an outer growth or a jointed body part to add?"
02:07:37] Awdz] *digs through her [<!--LI 8432625 12936100>Radiant Leather Backpack<!--/LI>]* how about [<!--LI 8432625 12863784>Brownback Wolf's Paw<!--/LI>] and some [<!--LI 8432625 11215375>Giant Chicken Tail Feathers<!--/LI>]?
02:08:06] Awdz] *the tinkerer affixes the paw to the end of the leg and puts the feathers on the carapace*
02:08:45] Awdz] okies, now my bolt destroyed it before... does anyone have a bolt spell to cast on this assemblage to make it activate?
02:10:31] Awdz] *peruses her spellbook for something more appropriate*
02:11:39] Awdz] hmmm... flame bolt might burn it up too much... ice bolt might freeze it in place...
02:12:02] Argon] *casts [<!--LI 11628952 13554495> Keen Improved Prime Bolt V of Accuracy<!--/LI>] on the book*
02:12:47] Awdz] *watches the notebook turn to ashes while Finagle Biggletorque exclaims* "Entropy!"
02:13:22] Awdz] *quickly opens up [<!--LI 8432625 13357533>Ancient Palmyran Scroll<!--/LI>] to replace the book as a thing to make notes on*
02:14:32] Awdz] here you go, finagle!
02:14:46] Maggus] Hmm... *just randomly casts a [<!--LI 12079306 12805012>Prime Bolt I<!--/LI>] into it* This work~?
02:15:21] Awdz] *watches as the primal energies surge into the seams of the creation, giving it energy enough to begin moving*
02:15:31] Awdz] huzzah!! well done!
02:16:16] Awdz] *watches the thing hop on its leg toward biggletorque, eyeing the gnome hungrily*
02:16:26] Awdz] doc! your potion!
02:17:02] Awdz] *the abomination of nature tries to bite the tinkerer but only succeeds in catching the scroll on its mandible*
02:18:28] Awdz] *doc tarrant tries to throw one of two potions he had prepared, but he throws like a stereotypical girl and misses, hitting the wall behind instead*
02:18:54] Awdz] *finagle tries to pull the scroll back, getting into a tug-of-war with his creation*
02:19:42] Awdz] gah! doc, let me, i'm more used to using missile weapons, i can hit it!
02:20:04] Awdz] *picks up the other potion and slams it down on the creation's head*
02:20:46] Awdz] *whether from the force of her blow or the potion running down it, the creation breaks apart at the seams and falls to the ground*
02:21:37] Awdz] there! we did it! *turns to doc tarrant and smiles broadly, only to see him frowning*
02:22:36] Awdz] *Doc Tarrant chides the blue-haired gnome* "That was a most inconclusive demonstration. Now I shall have to reprepare the potions before we can run the test again."
02:22:57] Awdz] aww crumblies...!
02:23:40] Awdz] well, at least everyone has more time to get things together before you really need them
02:25:24] Awdz] *Doc Tarrant and finagle biggletorque exchange glances* "We do not have storage for the smelly - I mean large number of parts needed. We will call for them when the potions are ready to test again*
02:25:54] Jannelle] Hmm. Possibly use Nature magic instead of Primal to reanimate it? Lightning Bolt instead of the Prime Bolt. Unless the creation is suppose to be draconic, it might work better.
02:26:43] Awdz] that may be jannelle... but my lightning bolt had withered bane tech on it, which destroyed the first creation before it really came to be
02:27:22] Awdz] *sighs* i guess we'll just have to gather the items and stow them for another time
02:27:29] Jannelle] ah, wasn't aware of that. maybe lightning without the bane mixed in.
02:28:09] C`gan] Hello there.
02:35:37] Awdz] *returns to Finagle Biggletorque* i had a thought, that maybe you could animate the things now and then it'd be easier to keep them all together until doc had the next potions ready
02:36:59] Awdz] *dumps [<!--LI 8432625 13558645>Chocolate Covered Beetle Legs<!--/LI>][<!--LI 8432625 11215375>Giant Chicken Tail Feathers<!--/LI>][<!--LI 8432625 13588222>Greymane Fang<!--/LI>][<!--LI 8432625 13559494>Sand Beetle Carapace<!--/LI>][<!--LI 8432625 13586798>Sand Ogre Jawbone<!--/LI>][<!--LI 8432625 13559475>Sandstone Golem Fragment<!--/LI>][<!--LI 8432625 13559816>Weaker Skeleton Skull<!--/LI>][<!--LI 8432625 13586639>Weaker Zombie Finger<!--/LI>][<!--LI 8432625 10906695>Damaged Brown Spider Eye<!--/LI>] and [<!--LI 8432625 10832940>Imperial Zoning Permit: Simple Residential<!--/LI>] into the tinkerer's arms*
02:37:38] Awdz] *Finagle Biggletorque groans under the sudden load* "I think we need to sort out step 2 for this!"
02:38:11] Awdz] *carefully arranging the items, finagle begins to assemble them*
02:39:30] Awdz] *[<!--LI 8432625 13559816>Weaker Skeleton Skull<!--/LI>] gets [<!--LI 8432625 10906695>Damaged Brown Spider Eye<!--/LI>] in a socket, [<!--LI 8432625 13586798>Sand Ogre Jawbone<!--/LI>] attached and [<!--LI 8432625 13588222>Greymane Fang<!--/LI>] affixed to the jawbone*
02:40:02] Awdz] [<!--LI 8432625 13559494>Sand Beetle Carapace<!--/LI>] goes under the skull with [<!--LI 8432625 13559475>Sandstone Golem Fragment<!--/LI>] inside it to give it body*
02:40:50] Awdz] *[<!--LI 8432625 13558645>Chocolate Covered Beetle Legs<!--/LI>] are set around the carapace with [<!--LI 8432625 13586639>Weaker Zombie Finger<!--/LI>] on the end*
02:41:36] Awdz] *[<!--LI 8432625 11215375>Giant Chicken Tail Feathers<!--/LI>] are stuck onto the carapace and the back of the [<!--LI 8432625 10832940>Imperial Zoning Permit: Simple Residential<!--/LI>] is readied for notetaking*
02:41:49] Awdz] okies, now we need a bolt to animate it?
02:42:47] Maggus] Need me again~? *grins*
02:43:02] Awdz] sure! your bolt worked really well before!
02:43:12] Maggus] *he gets up and shakes himself off, firing another at it*
02:43:53] Awdz] *Doc Tarrant enters with arms full of supplies as the creation gets hit with the prime bolt, shakes and becomes animate*
02:44:33] Awdz] *clacking its jaw, the abomination of nature reaches a finger at the overloaded healer*
02:45:16] Maggus] *Watches with some curiousity, though aparently ready to get up and.... deanimate it*
02:45:20] Awdz] *bottles and unnameable ingredients crash to the floor as Doc Tarrant tries to evade the thing*
02:46:58] Awdz] *Doc Tarrant exclaims in fear, anger and frustration* "What is that?! Why is it here, now?! I told you I had to make my potions before getting another one assembled!"
02:47:32] Awdz] we thought it'd be less smelly and easier to store all assembled
02:48:23] Awdz] *Doc Tarrant and finagle biggletorque run in circles about their shop to avoid the awkwardly leaping construct*
02:49:44] Awdz] *tries to lasso it with a loop of [<!--LI 8432625 12176122>Ironsilk Fishing Line<!--/LI>] but misses, getting doc's chair instead*
02:50:49] Maggus] *raises an eyeridge and waves a paw, attempting to cause the construct to come to a stop* Hrn..... perhaps a cage~?
02:51:27] Awdz] ooh, a trap is a good idea!
02:51:58] Awdz] *pulls out [<!--LI 8432625 11292656>Parrot Trap<!--/LI>] and tries throwing it over the animated creation, but it only covers its head*
02:52:18] Awdz] can you build a cage in time?
02:52:23] C`gan] *hands Awdz his [<!--LI 7328808 1766391>Tarbash's Obsidian Cargo Disk<!--/LI>]*
02:52:29] Maggus] *Blinks* Not.... exactly what I meant, but not really...
02:52:32] C`gan] CONTAIN it.
02:53:31] Awdz] *opens up c`gan's disk as far as she can, narrowly avoids falling into it, and hollers at the construct from behind the open disk* you hoo! assemblage of parts! over here!
02:54:13] Awdz] *bravely positions the disk to intercept the abomination of nature as it hops and lurches toward her*
02:55:30] Maggus] *Pads over to Awdz in the case that the thing should come over the disk*
02:56:34] Awdz] *barely manages to scoop the thing up onto c`gan's disk and close the cover in time*
02:57:23] Awdz] *passes the disk (which is thumping from the inside) back to c`gan* thanks, c`gan! doc will let you know when he needs it back
02:58:35] Maggus] *Lifts a talon and opens his maw to say something but just shuts it again, a bit worried about this* ....Perhaps..... trap it inside somewhere where it can easily be observed~?
03:00:02] Awdz] i'm sure c`gan will take good care of it! *scampers away before being asked to do so herself*
03:00:13] C`gan] Right.
03:02:21] C`gan] Let's see. It has to be kept active and unbroken.
03:07:33] Maggus] *nods* And most probably to be watched.... to study or to prevent... further damage~? *he smirks*
03:10:03] C`gan] I think I have an empty tier 2 silo at Acul. Think that'd work?
03:10:32] Maggus] Maybe, pretty far though~
03:11:37] Awdz] *pities the poor, unsuspecting steel crafter who will discover it*
03:11:57] Maggus] ((Lawl~!))
03:12:17] C`gan] Tier 2, not tier 4.
03:12:36] Maggus] *nods, thinking this over now. He waves a talon and goes through a scroll as to what it may say about such things* mrr.....

^ This.

But I probably could not have made it anyway due to work.
