.....did you come up with all those alterations, Stanley?
EVERY-TING.
And certain pointy-eared Ebon's Gate alterer was very mean to me when making the clamps and boots.
Polto was cool making the phylactery, and the britches were a last minute pearly grey theme since I couldn't think of anything racist towards elves, and "kiss it, longears" prolly wouldn't have been allowed to be stitched on the back of the britches.
In conclusion, Gate Festival > Life.
Edited to add: Slurmm really touched up the ale mug though.

I am absolutely, totally, and thouroghly impressed.
Even though you're wearing a bunch of pearly grey stuff til it gets altered...it makes my left eye twitch.
Aaanyway, yes...Ebon Gate Festival>Life.
I am counting the days. <lefteyetwitch>
I got this done the other day.
a double-headed steel battle axe
Larger than normal, the double heads of the axe are formed of wickedly sharp steel. A thick shaft of ironwood supports the blades, capped with a large steel spike. Four eight-pointed stars have been carved in a row on the shaft, and one rests on each of the heads. Strips of thick leather, dyed a deep grey, provide a sure grip. You also notice a small enchanter's mark.
Nice. Simple, but elegant.
You see Great Lady Jolena Selinia.
She appears to be a Human.
She appears to be young and shorter than average. She has expressive, mismatched green and blue eyes and supple sun-toned tawny skin. She has hip-length, deep scarlet hair that falls in a mass of thick curls to rest at the small of her back, while a few wispy tendrils frame her face. She has an elegantly sculpted face, a button nose and soft, delicately-contoured and naturally-tinged deep rose lips.
She has a blooming moonflower tattoo on her waist, and a crescent moon tattoo on her neck.
She is in good shape.
She is holding a ruby-inlaid silver mirror in her right hand.
She is wearing some delicate onyx hairjewels etched with vibrant sapphire blue tracery, a chic enruned black leather collar, a midnight blue silver-eyed lizard, a moon-clasped deep black lootsack, a knee-length black silk cloak, an opalescent crescent moon locket, a half-phased moon locket, a narrow-waisted deep blue suede bodice side-laced with delicate silvery ribbons, a petite ruby promise ring, an elegant black silk thighband, some low-slung fitted deep blue suede pants clasped at the hips with a delicate silvery moon-etched waistchain, a curvaceous black Sylvan corselet, and a pair of deep blue suede boots with silvery moonstone heels.
>l my coll
The quality and workmanship of the elegantly crafted leather collar suggests the importance it holds in the owner's eyes. Designed with loving care, delicate sylvan runes and tiny ruby-dusted crescent moons alternate along its length. An intricately scripted tag dangles from the closure. Peering closely, you can make out the words, "This imp is the property of Stunseed. If found, please return to its owner."
>l my loot
Midnight black elven leather embellished with small ruby-dusted sylvan runes provides spacious capacity for this lootsack. The image of a majestic modwir tree, its branches spread wide in a protective manner and silhouetted against a fiery ruby crescent moon has been carefully branded into the leather. A small platinum moon shaped clasp etched with the Queen of Enlightenment constellation secures the container closed.
>l my other lock
Suspended from a twisted-link imflass chain, this pendant has been expertly crafted in fine vultite and shaped into the image of a half-phased moon. Across the face of the pendant the words, "My everything is next to your heart, your loving husband," have been delicately engraved in a swirling script design.
>l my prom ring
The delicate band is made of sparkling ruby, shimmering and formed to the wearer's finger as if made especially for her. Tiny slivers of diamond have been set into the band, forming what appears to be two entertwining vines, linked together for eternity. Along the inner part of the band reads, "Beginner's love doesn't always remain, We will go on."
>l my cors
Masterfully crafted for stealth as well as comfort, the armor's forging and well oiled sturdy leather attest to the importance it holds in it's owner's eyes. The pristine condition contributes to keeping the wearer safe as well as assuring silence in movement. Intricate sylvan runes of protection are etched upon the rigid surface and crimson silk lines the inside for comfort. An intricately detailed fiery ruby crescent moon can be seen upon the right shoulder pauldron. You also notice a small enchanter's mark.
>l my thigh
The thighband is composed of a double layer of supple leather the width of two fingers. The inner side is lined with satin for comfort while a layer of fine black elven silk covers the outer side. Evenly spaced ruby studs faceted into small crescent moons keep the fabrics in place while allowing for a narrow blade to be slipped between the two layers of leather. Delicate ruby-dusted sylvan runes alternate with the studs on the outer side and meet with the reinforced silk straps fastening the garment.
>l my tattoo
An amazingly detailed moonflower in full bloom has been inked just to the left of the navel, its delicate blossoms spread out and upwards as if worshipping the full opalescent moon above it. The blossoms have been inked in a moonlight silver color, with soft shadowy streaks of shimmering midnight blue ink along the edges and several golden pollen covered stalks springing forth from the middle of the flower daintily. "Zrenigotham" has been inked in scrawling midnight blue script across the moon.
>l my third tattoo
Silvery twinkling stars are set against the backdrop of a moonless night sky tattoo, sparkling brightly in a crescent moon constellation. A string of the silvery stars is inked to wrap around her thigh from the sides of the scene and connect together on the back of the leg. The words "Stunseed's girl" are inked elegantly in cloudy pearlescent letters in the middle of the sky, just beneath the crescent moon.
Some of it doesn't go with the other things due to the ruby theme but they are my favorite items so I never part with them

Is there a certain meaning to eight-pointed stars in Gemstone? I have an eight-pointed star flask (white flask type thing) that I use but I don't know if there is some meaning behind it.
SHOWS > LONG DES'
You see Hammerrhead Crusherson the Warlord.
He appears to be a Giant of the Grot'karesh Clan.
He appears to be young. He has black eyes and sickly yellow skin. He has raggedly cut, tangled black hair. He has a lopsided and slightly deformed face and a missing tooth. He has a large wad of tobacco stuffed in his lower lip.
He has a small black skull tattoo on his neck, a black chain tattoo on his neck, a black chain tattoo on his ankle, and a small black skull tattoo on his ankle.
He has minor cuts and bruises on his chest.
He has several painful-looking scars across his chest.
He is wearing some red-tinted spectacles, a jointed copper giantman pin, an ancient Black Wolf armband, a Warrior Guild Master pin, a black leather spectacles case suspended on a copper chain, some coppery brown rolaren chainmail, a coppery brown vultite wall shield, a copper-horned orcish warhelm, a shark's tooth earring, a coppery brown ring, a coppery brown rolaren shark, a bleached crossed bone bowtie, a pair of heavy vruul skin gauntlets set with copper knuckle-spikes, a corroded copper bracelet adorned with a series of rusted iron studs, a coppery brown pouch, a badly scuffed wolf hide sheath trimmed with rotting ironwood, a coppery brown sack, a coppery brown backpack, some burnished copper bangles, some corroded copper carillons, a tasteless khaki-colored greatcloak, some enruned spidersilk bracers, some enruned spidersilk leg greaves, some frayed hemp pants, and some weathered camouflage boots.
>look spec
The frame and temples of these spectacles have been cleverly constructed out of exquisitely polished silver. The earpieces have spikes of gold jutting out in a flame-like manner. The lenses are composed of flat, red glass, giving the wearer's vision no accompanying aid, but the appearance of fire in their eyes.
(6 actions)
>look warh
Cheap diopsides encircle the base of the neglected and unpolished yet very pointy horns. They have been melted to the helm's surface, where the once-boiling metal created a sloppy vein-like pattern. The helm itself, made of vultite, seems to be painted an off-copper, the color of cheap cooking pots. Etched along each horn are the words 'The Second Age of Chaos is Upon Us' in crude but legible Common. You also notice a small enchanter's mark.
>look bowt
Crafted from tiny femurs whose surfaces are a pristine white, the macabre mockery of a bowtie appears to be well-polished and lustrous. Dried sinew forms a tight, binding knot in the middle, serving to bond the bones into the traditional bowtie shape.
>look caril
What may have once been a harmonious musical mechanism is now nothing more then dying metal, producing a tintinnabulation that assaults defenseless ears. Several of the rusted iron tongues are drooping far past the lips due to improper care, adding to the carillons' already decrepit appearance.
(4 actions)
>look pant
A frayed, yellowed rope has been passed through unsewn parts of the pants where the sewing has become undone and prove as makeshift loops. The cuffs share a striking similarity with the belt in that the sewing, there too, is completely worn out and several strands of hemp drag down to the feet.
(2 tiny pockets)
>look boot
Crafted from thick leather to stand up against all kinds of terrain, the boots are a mottled hue, allowing them to blend in easily almost anywhere. Frayed laces loop through a line of dark rolaren eyelets on either side of the boots, their threads wiry and torn. Dried and caked mud lines the bottom of the boots, along with bits of grass and other various muck.
(1 tiny pocket)
I think its a deity symbol...huntress, maybe?
Bitterly-cold dice...?
>lick dice
You lick the cold steel dice.
It tastes bitter!
>look dice
These dice have been painstakingly crafted to produce twelve perfect right angles and six commensurate sides. A toss of these dice would create only the most honest and fair results. Each of the pips on the ones have been inset with two tiny green emeralds and engraving extends from them in a sinuous fashion.
>roll dice
You give the dice a good shake for luck and roll them on the ground.
The dice bounce a few times and come to rest on 1 and 1.
