A rather amazing contraption sits outside of the Obsidian Heart Inne, looking very much like an oversized tea kettle on wheels! The gnome inventor, Fizzwinken Lugburt Gadgetcracker came into town pushing it along with a bit of effort. Fizzwinken has been given permission from Maria to set up outside the inne. As you approach the tap room's door, he calls out to you,
"Ahh yes, intrepid adventurers the lot of you aye? Lookee what Fizzwinken's got here, come up with it in me own laboratory, took me YEARS to build yes indeedly YEARS! Introducing the Gyroscopic Blending Retroknitter Adaptation Booster! Look at it, isn't it a beauty? Long name, yes, yes, so we'll just call it the Gyro-Blender."
A pause, as he allows you to look over his contraption.
"What does the Amazing Gyro-Blender do? My dear, it blends, knits and adapts whatever you toss into it, completely rebuilding it into something EVEN BETTER!! Well, most of the time. Sometimes it just spits out a pile of broken parts. But, that's the thing with technology right?"
He opens up the tea kettle like area and motions.
"Just toss your pieces in there, and after a little bit it pops out something right in the middle here. C'mon, give it a try! Just 3,000 gold coins, a drop in the bucket for a wealthy adventurer! And it's not as if you won't find more treasure down the road, if it screws up, right-o?"

Here's the deal! This event will not last forever! When Fizzwinken heads out of town, you won't have the opportunity to use his machine until he decides to come back into town!
You may toss two items into the Gyro-Blender for 3,000gp. For guaranteed success it costs 6,000gp.
Before anything else is done, a plain d20 roll will be made by Fizzwinken for "Use Object". If a "1" is rolled, then whatever you have dropped into the machine is mangled beyond repair and lost forever (no you may not use Stitch in Time to fix it, it is utterly destroyed). Fizzwinken, feeling very sorry for you, will give you back your 3,000 gold.
If you'd like a guaranteed success, then you can pay 6,000gp and Fizzwinken will spend extra time to ensure that an actual item of use is created. "Use Object" is considered a success.
Choose two items you own. Toss them into the Gyro-Blender and see what comes out! No two items the same! If you wish to add a third item, it has to be completely mundane such as a dagger, pair of shoes, a cloak, a belt, a plain gemstone.
NOTE: If you pay 3,000gp I will roll dice on the message board, if I roll a 1 you lose both items for good but get back your gold. It's a risk!
LIMITS: You may use the Gyro-Blender once per character. If you have your items destroyed, then you may try again with other items if you wish until you actually have a creation.
TERMS: Go to the event page and reply, on your reply you must roleplay out your use of the machine, stating very clearly at the top your character name, your screen name, and how much gold you are spending. YOU MUST HAVE THE GOLD. Then post EXACTLY what you are tossing into the machine, I want full descriptions and even worth if you know it.
