Altered Items

Original Item: Heavy black robe

• Tap: a midnight blue nightsilk robe
• Look: Made of simple, midnight blue nightsilk, this robe is exceptionally well cut to better achieve a rippling effect with the wearer's movements. The collar and hem have been lined with grey nightsilk. You notice a small tag.

  There appears to be something written on it

• Read: "Turnips!"

Original Item: Flexible starchart tube etched with cosmic scenery

• Tap: a well-worn schematics tube wrapped in midnight blue nightsilk with animite end caps
• Look: The slender container is covered in the finest midnight blue nightsilk and reinforced with bands of animite. A thick flap just under the top unfolds to allow items of a certain size to fit snugly inside the pocket in one of the tube's end caps. Despite years of use, it is still in fair condition. Time-worn crests are set upon the ends of the caps, but their details are no longer distinguishable.

Original Item: Soft mistsilk thigh bag shadow-embroidered with thin maple trees

• Tap: a weathered storm grey thigh bag crafted from Musparan silk
• Look: A simple silver clasp allows for quick access and security. Thick padding and multiple pockets help to muffle noises from shifting contents. On the flap is a faded crest that has flaked away to no longer be distinguishable.

Original Item: Hand-stitched traveler's pack

• Tap: a tattered nightsilk carryall
• Look: The carryall looks as if it has survived the test of time and many incarcerations. The patches of fabric hastily sewn together seem to have been an attempt to repair what years of abuse have done, with ample room to hold many plunders. On the flap is a faded crest that has flaked away to no longer be distinguishable.
• Was zapped 3 times by Bildon
• Four times embiggened (18x13x9-1700)

Original Item: Feyweave pouch

• Tap: a moth-eaten feed pouch with a lackadaisical crest of the Trader's Guild

Ample cushioning has been diligently applied underneath to dampen any sounds from shifting contents contained within. Affixed on the flap is a small animite emblem, exquisitely engraved with a blank charger shrouded by a concealing veil.
• Four times embiggened (21x16x7-1700)

  Rough translation of S'Kra = a revelation that lasts forever

Original Item: Thick zibeline carpet with beaded knotwork

• Tap: a thick scalene carpet threaded with strands of blackened moonsilver
• Look: Thickly woven strands of scalene are wrapped carefully into a mesh not unlike the scales of some great reptile. The austere, geometrical pattern is broken only by the lustrous, yet eerie black glow of the moonsilver threading used to bind the scales. Each corner of the carpet is weighted slightly with a large black diamond, wrapped tightly with a braided silken cord.

Original Item: Dull grey raven charm

• Tap: a gleaming animite crow charm with night diamond eyes
• Look: Worn plumage contrasts sharply against the glossy bill and midnight-purple eyes flecked with silver. Its head is cocked, as if listening for the slightest whisper and a faint muffled noise can barely be heard from within its belly. A blank charger shrouded by a concealing veil is stamped upon the crow's chest.

Original Item: Miniature thief (1)

• Tap: a miniature S'Kra Mur thief shrouded in a black uaro's'sugi
• Look: The detailed miniature is shrouded in a black silk gamantang, with a cloth uaro's'ugi wrapped around its head. Meticulous painting reveals only the eyes and scales of the miniature's face. The thief is crouched at the ready, and a diamond-hilted black stiletto is strapped to its hip alongside numerous other small weapons.

Original Item: Lumpy canvas tag sack smudged with charcoal and ink

• Tap: a battered storm grey Musparan silk tag sack stained with blood and ink
• Look: Several stiletto-sized holes appear on the sack, though all seem to be thin enough to prevent the contents from falling out. Just visible through one hole is a small pocket while a torn and threadbare crest appears on the side, its design no longer distinguishable.

Original Item: Bourde alchemist's belt badly stained with black dye

• Tap: a timeworn midnight blue nightsilk toolstrap threaded with animite
• Look: Formed from a few pieces of fortified silk, the toolstrap is designed to be wrapped around the waist or crossed over the chest. The various ties allow multiple objects to be held securely upon it. A small animite emblem, stamped with a blank charger shrouded by a concealing veil, has been sewn into the silk.
• Holds: Total of 10 items. Items: broom, carpet, umbrella, armor, balaclava, coat, cowl, gauntlets, gloves, greaves, hauberk, hood, leathers, lid, mask, robes, shield, shirt, targe, helm.

Original Item: Austere uaro's'sugi of unadorned black Musparan silk

Original Item: Unadorned but well cut black silk gamantang

• Tap: an austere dark violet scalene gamantang
• Look: Made of simple, unmarked scalene, this gamantang is exceptionally well cut. Narrow slits run up the sides in addition to the main tail-slit in the back, to ensure a flowing effect with the wearer's movements. The collar, hem, and sleeves are lined with matte black jaguar-pelt leather. Impressed on the collar is a blank charger shrouded by a concealing veil.

Original Item: Platinum-hilted skinning knife etched with coins along the blade

• Tap: a tel'athi-hilted animite knife embedded with coins of the realm

Original Item: Tyrium thrusting blade

• Tap: a stained lamp-black blade meticulously forged from tyrium
• Look: Glimpses of the deep purple metal veined with silvery-black are visible along the blade, wherever the lamp-black has worn away. An elegantly crafted animite knuckle-bow cross-guard is inscribed with "T'zhhntaki" along the length and intricately engraved into the pommel is a blank charger shrouded by a concealing veil.
  

Original Item: Ornate brass astrolabe

• Tap: a softly gleaming tel'athi par'i
• Look: Green as a new blade of grass, the smooth metal has a bit of flexibility when its curiously warm surface is pressed. Hidden within etchings of grass is a small impression of a blank charger shrouded by a concealing veil.

Original Item: curious timepiece suspended by a thin bronze chain

• Tap: a peculiar animite timepiece suspended by a tel'athi chain
• Look: Upon closer examination this once-functional orlog has been gutted and modified with a delicate geared lid. The complex crank-and-handle mechanism allows the wearer to open the top of the receptacle with some effort. A second smaller lever opens a silvery-black animite flap affixed over the former keyhole, letting any stored materials fall efficiently downward. Stamped on the flap is a blank charger shrouded by a concealing veil.

Original Item: Bank book

• Tap: a shopkeeper's bank book covered in cobalt scalene with an animite clasp
• Look: The cover doesn't seem to fit properly, as if it was placed on hastily to mask the original. The visible edges of several pages appear stuck together and bear blotches from ink and blood. The clasp is stamped with a blank charger shrouded by a concealing veil.

Original Item: Vault book

• Tap: a dark violet scalene storage vault book embroidered with a diamond-hilted black stiletto

• Tap: an inky black and ghostly white striped kitten with forlorn animite-hued eyes
• Look: The kitten looks back at you with a melancholy gaze, its eyes shining with pessimism. Unnaturally straight white lines have been dyed vertically across the kitten. Around its neck is an animite collar with a tag that reads "Inmate #3141592". Tiny tel'athi shackles dangling with broken links that are fastened around each leg like bracelets.

Original Item: animite-trimmed travel diary inlaid with tricolor gemstones

• Tap: a debtor ledger bound in intricate animite-threaded sanguine scalene
• Look: Ornate calligraphy in metallic thread forms the words, "The Debt We Will Never Forget" above the stamped image of a blank charger shrouded by a concealing veil.

Original Item: polished leather belt

• Tap: a tel'athi chainmail belt
• Look: Comprised from interlocking rings of flexible grass-green metal threaded with animite-hued scalene, securely fastened to the belt are bright animite frogs each impressed with a blank charger shrouded by a concealing veil. A stately buckle centered on the front is inscribed "T'zhhntaki" with a stiletto crafted from midnight onyx embedded below.

Original Item: oversized harvest bag with a large flap

• Tap: a dark violet scalene bag fit with tel'athi mechanisms
• Look: A myriad of grass-green metal locking mechanisms cover the surface of the bag, crafted in varying sizes and complexity. A blank charger shrouded by a concealing veil is inlaid at the center of each lock with minuscule slivers of animite.

• Tap: a pair of badly worn and discolored sandals
• Look: You see nothing unusual.

Original Item: deep purple jacquard sash clasped with a platinum seven-pointed star

• Tap: a midnight blue nightsilk sash embedded with midnight onyx shards
• Look: animite clasp, the shards are patterned on one end into a blank charger shrouded by a concealing veil.
• Four times embiggened (17x12x6-1200)

Original Item: dagger with a rearing wolf spider pommel

• Tap: a gold-hilted dagger surmounted by a shadow emerald
• Look: The keenly honed blade is eclipsed by the burnished gold hilt, which is entwined in a frieze of close-tiered, spiky-leaved palmettes and quatrefoils. Deep-set at its center is a dark-hued, square-cut emerald of unusual size.

Original Item: Filthy beggar's rags tied at the waist with a piece of frayed rope

• Tap: some filthy faded violet scalene beggar's rags
• Look: Hidden beneath a carefully styled layer of rags and tatters hides an exquisitely softened matte black leather lining complimented with pristine midnight blue nightsilk pockets. A variety of assorted sizes designed to hold tools of the trade are placed in easy to access locations, with animite and tel'athi hooks scattered strategically within the folds of the fabric. The open collar is accented by a small, masterfully carved ka'hurst emblem of a blank charger shrouded by a concealing veil.

Original Item: Dark encompassing shadows of twilight dreamweave

• Tap: some ka'hurst-threaded scalene shadows
• Look: Shadowy metal with a strikingly green sheen reinforces the fabric dyed abyssal black, creating a color as dark as Urrem'tier's Void.
• Four times embiggened (18x13x10-1700)

Original Item: Morgawr leather armband tooled with severed tentacles

• Tap: a sinuous ka'hurst armband
• Look: Tiny vengeance rubies are set flush into the shadowy black metal to create the image of a blank charger shrouded by a concealing veil. The blood-red gems catch available light to provide a stark contrast to the smooth metallic surface that barely reflects light of its own.

  • Silenced

Original Item: Biomechanical_tarantula

• Tap: a ka'hurst black widow
• Look: Eight eyes arranged in two rows of four are composed of tiny night diamonds. In contrast with the biomechanical body, are animite fangs dripping venom. Smooth, shadowy-black metal composes the rest, reflecting any light that hits it in a way that can only be seen within a few inches. Long legs extend from the cephalothorax, and the abdomen has a semi-translucent area in which a medley of gears, levers and pistons can be seen within. Etched on the ventral side is a red hourglass.

Original Item: Mildewed silk scarf riddled with holes

• Tap: a decrepit sand-hued Velakan linen scarf
• Look: Although once pristine, various unidentifiable stains now span the length of the scarf. The poorly maintained fabric is now threadbare and contains numerous shards of Velakan pearls trapped within the warp and weft.

A blank charger shrouded by a concealing veil, is meticulously inscribed on the surface of the pearl.
