I recently won a raffle for a custom gem cutter and 5 patterns. They have a definite Autumn/Harvest Time theme to them and aren't really my thing. That said and after a few inquiries, I have decided to auction them off.
For those who are unfamiliar with gem cutters and patterns, a gem cutter cuts gems(duh). You put a pattern, say an acorn-shaped golden steel pattern, in the cutter, put a gem in, then turn it, and instead of a fire opal(for example) you now have an acorn-shaped fire opal.
First, the gem cutter:
a patchwork metal scarecrow wearing a large floppy hat - Wrought together from bits of colorful scrap metal, the small scarecrow has been garbed in equally patchworked brass-studded overalls. Blunt copper wires jut out in bunches from its scrawny neck and arms like straw filling. The metal of the scarecrow's smiling face has been stamped with the coarse, woven pattern reminiscent of burlap, and topped off with a floppy hat. Rivetted to the left shoulder is a tiny, plump black steel crow wearing a grin.
The metal scarecrow is holding no gem, and there is no pattern set in the slot in its back.
The scarecrow is zested, here are some examples:
>tap scar
You give your scarecrow a little tap on the head, causing its little noggin to bob up and down in a comical fashion.
>pull scar
You tug hard on your scarecrow, nearly pulling its head off! It sounds like several springs within the scarecrow have snapped. Oops.
>push scar
You push on the scarecrow's head until it will go no further. As you release it, the scarecrow's head spins slowly around in circles, grinning eerily each time it passes its back. Gradually, its movement ceases, with its head facing forward once again.
When you have a gem and pattern in the scarecrow and TURN it:
>turn scare
You wind up your metal scarecrow several times and let it go. The metal scarecrow winds up and begins chiseling away at the gem. Working furiously, steam shoots out of its head, creating a thick cloud. After a moment, the cloud clears and the metal scarecrow brushes away the dust to reveal a perfectly cut jewel.
Patterns:
an acorn-shaped golden steel pattern
an apple-shaped crimson ora pattern
a maize-shaped variegated laje pattern
a gourd-shaped tawny mithglin pattern
a zinnea-shaped russet vaalin pattern
If you want to, for whoever wins, I also have: an oval-cut ruby mithril pattern, a tree-shaped emerald ora pattern, a snowflake-cut silvery imflass pattern, a skull-shaped black iron pattern, a heart-shaped magenta vultite pattern, a crescent-cut bright silver pattern, a wolf-shaped white gold pattern, a pie-shaped golden mithglin pattern and a diamond-cut azure steel pattern that I can add in there for an extra fee.
