Heart of the Dragon: Essence Trading & Imbuement!

Post by Mart »

Essence Trading and Imbuement Center








Let none among you be destined to any particular journey but rather let you tread the path of your heart.
- Ferghalicous, Hermit Wizard of the Isle

Ferghalicous, Hermit Wizard of the Isle, calls upon the champions to imbue their wondrous items, but recognizes that these powers would be ineffective if granted to incompatible wielders, and has requested that the Outback provide both the means and methods through which to trade these tangible essences amongst themselves.


___________________________________


(( Important Information: Reply to this thread to trade essences and redeem them (imbue your item).

You must have ten (10) essences from a single (1) “Opal” before you can redeem/imbue an item. Generic essences are considered “wild” and can be used to supplement any Opal, but you must have at least one (1) specific essence (for example, at least one (1) FireStar essence) to imbue an item; 10 generic essences will not work. For example: an item may be imbued with FireStar if the character/pair has 7 FireStar and 3 generic essences, but may not be if the character/pair has 6 FireStar, 1 IceDancer, and 3 generic essences.

In order for a trade to be considered complete and tracked, both characters must reply to this thread, agreeing to the trade in separate replies. Characters working in declared pairs will be considered to have the same essence pool to trade from. Either character may post or accept trades for essences, or redeem essences/imbue items; if it is posted the assumption shall be that both partners agreed to the potential trade/imbuement. You are not required to trade essences 1:1; if you have in-demand essences you can trade 2:1 or for even greater “profits” if you wish! If a character is donating/giving an essence to another character that they are not in a partnership with, the giver must post but it does not need to be accepted by the recipient.

In order to redeem essences/imbue the character’s item, please write a short story post (as short as a sentence or as long as you want) reflecting that one of the event wizards (or the storied Ferghalicous himself!) is imbuing the item with the specific Opal benefit you’re seeking to add to the item. If successful (i.e. you have enough essences), the redeemed benefit will be reflected on the tracker. For example: Arganon found one of the wizards sleeping in the back room of the Outback and nudged him awake before presenting his FireStar essences in a small pouch. “Please empower my book, kind sir!” he requested.

The tracker is available here: Tri-Sport Essences Tracker. ))

Ring The Boiler 9: Caleb Feren scores! (FeSN / JB | 3 - 5, Caleb Feren leads.)
FINAL: Caleb Feren def. Nayun, 5 - 3 in 9 rounds. - dof
With the close of the final round, the essence of FireStar
swirls and condenses around Caleb Feren, leaving behind a mote,
while a lesser essence forms near Nayun

Trading the essence to Karma (Strawberry)

Nayun — Today at 7:41 PM
"Yes. It is I." unsure of what else to say due to the statement. She followed after but spoke while doing so, "Are you interested in this object?" the object she spoke of being an essence in hand.

Strawberry — Today at 7:42 PM
It was a larger version of the one that had come to find her after her own fight, but colored differently. "Oooooh, I would, yes. May I?" She held a hand out, all the while hosing down the boots to get every last bit of muck off of them.

Nayun — Today at 7:44 PM
A soft hm followed with a nod of her head. She set the essence in Karma's waiting hand.

Once they were clean, she stepped out of the water's spray and took a towel to the boots one at a time. When that was done, she peered at the essence with a little smile. "They're like shards but... not. Weird." Looking back up to Nayun. "Thank you."

Ring The Boiler 10: Morgan LaFey scores! (LS / SN | 2 - 5, Morgan LaFey leads.)
FINAL: Morgan LaFey def. Nayun, 5 - 2 in 10 rounds. - dof
With the close of the final round, the essence of FireStar
swirls and condenses around Morgan LaFey, leaving behind a mote,
while a lesser essence forms near Nayun

Nayun — Today at 8:36 PM
She looked to the offered hand and stared at it briefly before taking it for a shake. He wanted to shake her hand, or that's what she was assuming. She then noticed she had another of these essences. "Would you like this?" she held it up while asking.

Morgan LaFey — Today at 8:36 PM
He looked at the essence as he crawled out of the boiler, and blinked. "You don't want it?"

Nayun — Today at 8:37 PM
"I've no time to give beyond tonight, so whatever this is for will not be on my schedule." She then offered the essence over.

Morgan LaFey — Today at 8:38 PM
He raised an arm to Eden as she called out to him, swiping sweat from his face. He then glanced to Nayun, and nodded. "Sure thing. I'll grab it after?"

Nayun — Today at 8:38 PM
"I will leave it at the bar." she then offered a bow of her head and left the boiler behind.
Nayun left the lesser essence at the Outback bar for Morgan LaFey to pick up.

Morgan LaFey — Today at 10:51 PM
A swirl of mist appeared and hovered over the essence left to Morgan by Nayun... And then seemed to swallow it up.

Ellie is giving her earned essence to Salvador Delahada.

BOT
Nexus Guide:
At the close of the final round, a lesser essence forms near both Delahada and Ellie Luisante

...

[1:07 AM] Delahada: The fact that she got up so quick, giggling, had him grinning as he rose up from his crouch. That little soot shadow snapped out to grab the essence that floated near him, and then darted back under his shirt. "You want that?" He pointed out the other one for Ellie.

[1:11 AM] Ellie Luisante: "Huh. Nah, I don't need it. You can have it, as thanks for the great Magic duel!" You push the thingie over to Salvador, then look over to Gatito with a smile and a wave.

Jaycy gifted an essence to Caleb.

(( Jaycy Ashleana: Taking the hand, she shook (assuming that's what he'd meant, mostly standing) - firm without being overbearing. "Want that?" Nodding to the essence near her feet that she'd not yet collected.

Jaycy Ashleana: "All yours." Picking it up, she tossed it his way. ))

Jaycy gave her second essence to Eregor.

(( Jaycy Ashleana: Grimacing, once she recovered, she saluted and picked up the essence that had formed near her. "Nice win. Want it?" Offering it to Gory.

Jaycy Ashleana: Passing it over, she winked and climbed the ladder to get out of the Boiler. ))

Jaycy gave her third essence of the evening to Karma.

(( Jaycy Ashleana: Lighter contact, she still grunted, then bowed. "Well tried." On her way back up, she picked up her essence and offered it to Karma. "Caleb said you're collecting them."

Jaycy Ashleana: "Mmm. Helping people get them." Small grin, handing it over. ))

Accepting the gifted essence, Eregor let Jaycy exit the Boiler first and then followed.

Ellie doesn't need any of the essences she's getting; she gives her most recently acquired one to Rachael.

[12:44 AM] Ellie Luisante: You fall down on your butt and groan. You look over at the essence and push it over to Rachael. "Here, cherie. I don't need this."
[12:45 AM] Rachael Blackthorne: "Merci. It will be quite useful to imbue the weapon that... called to moi after the battle." That lesser essence melted into her black leather gloved hand.

Post by Yuzuki Kuwabara »

Yuzuki made a special trip to the Isle through the portal after gathering the last of the essences needed. Of course, the delinquent had made a stop by home to call and check with the Watanabe Twins and to drop Koro off! She made her way down the trails and past the old bit of glade that she and her Rappapa friends had used for camping on their vacation once upon a time. Finding the wizard at last, she turned in her two Icedancer essences and eight wild ones. Two from the generic rings of her own and the two blue Icedancer ones to combine with the six the Watanabe twins had hunted out and discovered. She also handed over the chainmail jacket that had been her hand pick from the treasure hoard.

The young Wizard took the chainmail and essences from Yuzuki, and with a few special words and phrases, the essences turned to dust, then swirled about and into the item! When all was said and done, a faint bluish glow enlivened the jacket.

The ritual was a success!

Silas gifted an essence to Maggie (Mairead Harker).
SIlas — Today at 12:51 AM::Again, he isn't quite sure what she's talking about, nor what the essence is there for, so he glances at it for a moment before bumping fists with Maggie and exiting the ring, ignoring the essence situation::
Mairead Harker — Today at 12:52 AM
"You mind if I take it if you don't want it?"
SIlas — Today at 12:52 AM
::glancing back to Maggie, he shrugs:: All yours!
Mairead Harker — Today at 12:53 AM
"Thanks!"
Maggie picked up the essence piece and pocketed both.
