Update 3.32
Greetings, OH Members:
What a wild week we've had! From undead being created by poisoned perfume, to daleks and cybermen down by the docks (and a visit from a very handsome fellow in a blue box), it's certainly been eventful! All to end it up with a triple eclipse during which the undead began to dig themselves up from the ground they were buried in!
Fizzwinken is still by the OH Inne doing combinations. We will be finishing up some of the storylines that are left hanging from last week this week. Hope you all have a good week.
CRAFTING POINTS
Don't forget, if you have crafting skills it's time for you to ask for your 10 crafting points from (psionicwanderer) . If you have skills or items that give you more points, you need to claim that on your email.
THE AMAZING FIZZWINKEN LUGBURT GADGETCRACKER
Fizzwinken Gadgetcracker and his Gyro-Blender are still outside the OH Inne combining items for either 3000gp or 6000gp. You can combine pretty much anything - weapons, consumables, magic items, slot items, etc. If you have had Fizzwinken create something for you, please keep the Fizzwinken name by your item on your dossier - even if you decide to call it something else, so that I (and any DM's) know that this is a Fizzwinken item.
Here's a few of the amazing creations that have been spit out of his machine:
Fizzwinken's Modified Profane Triple Staff 2d10
This unholy weapon has two forms, that of a gnarled, blackened ironshod staff, and that of a three sectioned staff connected by steel rings, and the wielder can easily change between the two types with but a swift movement to pull it apart. If desired, when the staff is tugged apart into it's sections, the wielder can choose to have the weapon to be covered in shadow, acid, frost, fire, or lightning. The wielder takes no damage from any of these elements while using the weapon. The enchantments Defiant and Shadowreach work in both forms of the weapon.
Fizzwinken's Nightstar Pistol 2d6
This pistol has undergone quite a change, the metal has taken on a deep purplish-blue hue, and it is heavier than it was, but still considered a one-handed weapon. Inside the barrel of the gun are spirals of adamantine, causing any bullet that passes through to be considered adamantine. Each bullet's range is given a telekinetic push doubling it's range. The user of the Nightstar Pistol gains darksight.
Fizzwinken's Pauldron-Cape of Sorcerous Power +5 DEF
These dark leather pauldrons are embroidered with arcane sigils and mystic designs and fit firmly over the shoulders of a mage, and attached to the pauldrons is a half cape that covers one arm of a thick, rich scarlet silk. Along the edges of the red cape are also stitched with various arcane runes, giving the item it's power. Not only does this item protect with defense, but it adds a +2 to the dice of any invocation that the wearer uses that deals hit point damage. Once per combat, the wearer can draw out more of it's innate magical power to cast an extra spell in combat, when it is used the cape flutters with it's own magical wind.
Fizzwinken's Regenerative Targeting Ultraflute
This beautifully crafted flute's wood has darkened with the influx of the water from Lilae's spring, leaving it dark, glossy, and always in tune. In fact, if the flute is played around running water such as a fountain, spring or river, the water's natural sounds begins to flow in tune to the music. Once per adventure, this flute can target a wounded individual and heal them of all damage, or cure disease, cure poison or even regrow a lost limb. If the person targeted needs any or all of these done at the same time, then it will happen!
DARK OMENS STORY ARC UPDATE
The Triple Eclipse has happened, and undead have arisen all over the world. As far as we know, the Masters are behind this as Manuu was there when it happened for our group in the Shalott Islands. Not only are we facing more skeletons than we've ever seen before, but ugly creatures with intense power (Devourers) as well as incorporeal Wraiths. We fight, and we hope to win.
WEEKLY CHALLENGE
Your challenge this week is to create a mixed drink to be served in the OH Inne. This needs to have an appropriate name to our time frame (medieval fantasy/steampunk) and include what is available to us in our time frame. Mixed drinks that get approved will be added to our list of drinks on the message board.
You may come up with as many as 3 mixed drinks, and earn 500gp for the recipe. Be sure to let me know which character you wish for the gold to be given when you send in your recipe/s, with the subject line as always reading "Weekly Challenge".
NEW CHARACTER BONUS & RECRUITMENT INCENTIVE
We have an incentive to new characters! New characters will start at Crystal Adept with 30XP and 2d32 dice. They will also be given 3,000gp to outfit their character.
Recruiters, if you recruit a new player (not just someone's new character), then you will receive 10XP & 2000gp per player that actually fills out an application correctly and is accepted! You may put this xp & gp on any character you wish.

UPDATES, PATCHES, CLARIFICATIONS
1.GRAPPLING
This week we are testing the new grappling rules, but beyond testing we still ask that no grappling occurs!
2. SHIFT ENCHANTMENT
The skill "Shift Enchantment" has been removed. If you wish to shift an enchantment it must go through the Emporium. If you have that skill, you are welcome to take a free skill switch to replace it.
3. UNARMED FIGHTERS
If you are an unarmed fighter who gets a free fighter's weapon, you need to actually choose a weapon with dice such as one of the unarmed techs. If you choose something like "fists", "feet", "claws" etc... then you will never be able to get your fighter's bonus if you decide to pick up another weapon ie decide to purchase a tech later. Even if the tech incorporates those body sections, it is still not the weapon you chose. Like someone who chooses a dagger, if they then decide to use a sword, it might still be sharp and pointy but they did not choose sword, they chose dagger so they do not get their bonus.
4. FREE ARMOR / FREE WEAPONS & MATERIALS
If you get a free armor, or free weapon by a class or profession, or even skill then you may retroactively purchase materials at the full material price for that armor or weapon. You must prove to the Emporium that it was free, and then you will be allowed to simply pay for the material.

Last Week's Answer: Hidden Kingdom of Dewshine
This Week's Extra Credit: Answer a question for 2XP. Remember, one per player. Tell me where you want the 2XP when you reply! This question can always be found somewhere on our OH message board.
What is this drink called?
This drink is a favorite of goblins, boggards, and other primitive humanoids. It is made by soaking a poisonous toad or frog (or its eggs) in weak beer, or by “milking” these animals for their poison and mixing it with the beer (which allows the animal to be used over and over again). Some tribes use wide-mouthed jugs and leave the dead animal inside as a crunchy treat for eating once the drink is gone. (5 cp a tankard) DC 12
