I finished alchemy a while ago now and don't use it much (imagine!) so I am going to sell my beloved Hoppy.

a slime and soot-encrusted cauldron - animated cauldron, will follow you like a puppy, will not allow you to put a wrong ingredient in when activated. This cauldron is fully altered and lightened to two pounds. I'm setting the minimum bid high because that's the least amount I would sell it for (makes sense, no?).

>l caul
You notice that the cauldron is moving!
The bright bronze legs that support the cauldron are in stark contrast with the bulbous body, which is darkened with soot and encrusted with dried slime in an assortment of colors. Some of the soot near the bottom of the cauldron has been scratched away near the legs, as if the cauldron itself had been trying to groom.

>tap caul
You tap your soot-encrusted cauldron.
The cauldron stops its movements abruptly.

You tap your soot-encrusted cauldron.
A gleam quickly passes over the surface of the cauldron as it slowly starts to move of its own accord.
Roundtime: 2 sec.

You drop your soot-encrusted cauldron, and it lands gracefully on its metallic feet.

>pet caul
You reach out to a slime and soot-encrusted cauldron, and it snuggles against your touch.
When lit:

Unfortunately, the cauldron was very hot.
... 5 points of damage!
Minor burns to right hand. Ouch.
(Will also occasionally bump into someone else in the room when lit)

>slap caul
You slap a slime and soot-encrusted cauldron.
It jumps up, shakes itself off, then charges right at your kneecaps. Pow! You tumble to the ground.
Roundtime: 5 sec.

Some ambient messages:

A slime and soot-encrusted cauldron suddenly leans to one side for a moment.
A slime and soot-encrusted cauldron shifts its belly around on its legs, clearly enjoying the heat beneath it.
A slime and soot-encrusted cauldron taps you on the arm (while held).
A slime and soot-encrusted cauldron raises one of its legs and waves.
A slime and soot-encrusted cauldron bangs on its own belly with one of its legs. Perhaps it wants something.

In a container (tap to turn it off):

A slime and soot-encrusted cauldron rattles around inside your silk backpack.
other people see:
Something moves inside XXXXX's silk backpack. (This can be fun, I've told people it was actually all sorts of things instead of the cauldron when asked)

Loresong:
You receive a vision of an old bearded man dressed in fine linen robes. He is standing in some sort of laboratory, surrounded by shelves filled with glass vials with differently colored liquids, animal skulls, dried herbs, and precious stones. On a worktable before him sits a slime and soot-encrusted cauldron. He carefully pours a container of strange green oil over the body of the cauldron and begins chanting. As he does so, a trio of sparkling runes form in the air above the cauldron, spinning faster and faster as the chanting continues until a great spark of electrical energy is released from them, striking the cauldron directly!

Your vision becomes hazy for a moment, but as it clears, you see the old man standing over the cauldron and giving it a slight tap on the side. It shivers and vibrates for a few moments, then slowly begins to crawl about on its own legs like an animal!

You receive a vision of an old bearded man dressed in fine linen robes. He is standing his laboratory working on an alchemical solution by pouring ingredients into a slime and soot-encrusted cauldron. The cauldron is moving as if it has a life of its own. As the old man adds each ingredient, the cauldron excitedly points to a new one on the table beside it. The old man, amused, selects the new ingredient, muttering something which you cannot hear. Soon, the potion is finished, and the man ladels out a sample into a bottle. The cauldron hops up and down excitedly. The man retires to the next room, and the cauldron jumps down and follows him, ambling from side to side on its three legs.

Updated! And, Jeril, not tossed aside but lovingly put up for adoption ;) I hate seeing cool things get stuck in someone's locker forever. The MB is high because I won't mind hanging onto it if no one bids, but if someone out there wants it badly, well, I'm not using it anymore.

D'awww, I can almost picture it huddled under a bridge on the wrong side of town... burning trash in its soot-lined interior to keep warm.
