Merentesh has just received a shipment of fresh new artefacts! Head to Delos for your chance to pick up one or more of the following:
A gilded pike - 150cr
-------------
What better way to prove your combat prowess than with this imbued pike. Once planted, it will last for 5 Achaean months, and will allow the owner to pike multiple heads on the one spike. Each additional head will add an Achaean month until the pike resets.
Syntax for use: PIKE <head>/ PIKE <head> ON <pike>.
Explorers tome - 500cr
--------------
Invested with incantations tied in to the very earth, this tome will report how much of the current area has been explored.
Syntax for use: READ <tome>.
Bag of Sharing - 800cr
--------------
A linked storage space that shares its contents between two bags. Buy one with a friend and easily pass anything from cakes to weapons to each other. Hold up to five items. To purchase this bag, visit the Miscellaneous Artefact Shop in Delos with your intended partner and BUY <bag> PAIRED WITH <person>. Like with Earrings of Sinope, the bag has one owner, who can change the partner at any time for a 150cr fee.
Parrot in a cage - 400cr
----------------
A master of mimicry, these birds will memorise any conversation they're privy to (up to an Achaean day in length), and can recite them back with unerring accuracy! Being a somewhat small-brained creature, the can only retain their memory of a conversation for 2 Achaean months. From the tavern bard to the esteemed city leader, this is a must-have.
Syntax for use: TELL <parrot> TAKE NOTE - Start the Parrot's memorisation.
TELL <parrot> THAT'S ALL - Cease memorising a conversation
TELL <parrot> REPEAT WHAT WAS SAID - Recite a conversation
TELL <parrot> FASTER - Increase the speed of a recitation.
TELL <parrot> SLOWER - Decrease the speed of a recitation.
TELL <parrot> FORGET - Forget the memorised conversation.
Robes of the Grand Magi - 2500cr
-----------------------
Missed out on your chance to pick up a set of these robes during the Reckoning? Now's your chance to grab them! For those who are unaware, these robes are an upgraded version of the Robes of the Magi, conveying a 1/3rd reduction in the mana and willpower costs of almost all abilities.
Sash of Eternal Battle - 1000cr
----------------------
Much like the Robes of the Magi, this sash will reduce the endurance cost of almost all endurance-using abilities by 1/3.
Talisman of Binding - 1000cr
-------------------
This talisman invests the power to lay a powerful room effect, preventing most forms of magical transport out of the room that is enacted in. This item's power is finite, with every 10 seconds of effect costing 5% of its charge. When it is depleted, you'll have to wait for it to recharge. You can check the item's charge level at any time by probing it.
Syntax for use: DISRUPT TRAVEL FOR <x> SECONDS|MINUTES
