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 yet again as it was so popular last summer.
As you approach the tap room's door, he calls out to you,
"My favorite adventurers, and oh! You look like you've grown in numbers, WEE! 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. You all had such a fine time with it before, Maria called me back!"
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 5,000 gold coins, a drop in the bucket for a wealthy adventurer! Aye, my price has gone up, supply and demand me friends, supply and demand! And it's not as if you won't find more treasure down the road, if it screws up, right-o? If you wanna pay me more, let's say....10,000 gold coins, I'll make sure it doesn't break anything! Still can't guarantee you'll like what it spits out though, it's RANDOM!"
*Your character must be physically able to go to the gyroblender to use it. This means that Scarred Lands SL Characters cannot participate in this event at this time. At a later date, the gyroblender will show up in the Scarred Lands.*

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 5,000gp. For guaranteed success it costs 10,000gp.
Before anything else is done, a plain d20 roll will be made by Fizzwinken for "Use Object". If a "1" is rolled, then EVERYTHING 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 5,000 gold.
If you'd like a guaranteed success, then you can pay 10,000gp and Fizzwinken will spend extra time to ensure that an actual item of use is created - though he (nor you) have any control over what is created. His "Use Object" roll is considered an auto-success.
Choose two items you own: magic items, enchanted weapons, special materials, etc. 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 and flavor-only such as a plain dagger, pair of shoes, a cloak, a belt, a plain gemstone, a hunk of regular leather, a feather, etc. It cannot have ANY properties, magical or otherwise. It cannot have defense, or anything. Just flavor objects.
NOTE: You may not add in any previous Fizzwinken items. If you have any items created the last times Fizzwinken was here, those are NOT to be put into the machine.
NOTE: If you pay 5,000gp 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.
"The Gar Clause": ONCE PER CHARACTER means one item per character, it doesn't mean you can con or finagle or pay or harass other players or use your other characters to drop in items FOR YOU in order to be greedy and get more than one Fizz item. I reserve the right to BAN any player that attempts to cheat the system from ever using Fizzwinken again.
TERMS: Post on this forum thread, and on your post you must have the following:
1) State your Character Name, Screen Name
2) How much gold you are spending. YOU MUST HAVE THE GOLD.
3) Post EXACTLY what you are tossing into the machine. I want full descriptions, and worth if you have that.
4) Roleplay out the use of the machine.
VERY IMPORTANT to REMEMBER: You cannot further enchant, or paragon, or add defense points or add anything to a Fizzwinken item except LEGACY and MAGICALLY WARDED. Also, you may rename your Fizz item but you need to mark it with the full Fizzwinken name on your dossier as well so everyone knows it is a Fizz item.
