[Temple, Meditation Sanctum]
The silent simplicity of this small room brings contemplative thoughts to mind.  
Several small mats cover the polished wood floors and two worn oak benches sit empty 
along the wall.  A modest rosewood altar 
stands at one end of the room, topped with two white candles.  A gentle breeze wafts 
from a hallway of gleaming white marble 
leading to the east.
Also here: GameMaster Roxia

You turn to Roxia and cheer!

You softly say, "Thanks for coming."

Roxia says, "Okay, so I have a question...."

You listen carefully to Roxia.

Roxia says, "I think the August Premium contest and the Wandering Merchant contest 
are the 

Roxia says, "But I'm not quite sure."

You softly say, "There was a wandering merchant one."

You softly say, "And one to create an artifact."

You softly say, "For the harbor."

You softly say, "There are certainly two seperate lists."

You softly say, "Mebbe I got it wrong - didn't think so but will check."

You softly say, "Don't wanna get something I not eentitled to."

{I do some checking}

You softly say, "Nope I am correct."

Roxia bounces around happily.

You softly say, "Ahh."

Roxia exclaims, "You were right!"


You plop down to the ground in a sitting position.

Roxia asks, "So, you want two alterations and a feature?"

You softly say, "Indeed please."

You softly say, "You'll be pleased to hear I come prepared."

Roxia says, "That always makes it easier."

You softly say, "She has gentle laugh lines at the corner of her deep-set 
dark eyes."

You grin.

You softly ask, "None of it is?"

Roxia says, "In another life, I used to see Silversoft hunting."

You grin.
Roxia says, "She was like 100, and I was maybe 15."

You softly say, "Hope she didn't die as much then."

You chuckle.

Roxia says, "And she was finding diamonds while I was finding brown zircons."

Roxia nods.
Roxia says, "It made me wonder if perception wasn't more valuable than I 
thought."

Roxia says, "Anyway..."

You softly say, "Well I perceive just as far as my claid reaches."

You softly say, "Sorry - digressing."

You grin.

Roxia says, "It looks like most of your feature fields have already been 
altered."

Roxia says, "There is one field that I could add laugh lines to."

You softly say, "We can ignore the feature then - I was wavering so perhaps that 
was for a reason."

Roxia nods.

You softly say, "Lets face it, no amount of changing is gonna make a female 
dwarf a princess."

You softly say, "I can live with what I have."

Roxia chuckles.

You softly say, "Will go for three alters."

wanted to know."

You softly say, "Not even ale would make that palitable."

Roxia asks, "What's a radical femur?"

Roxia taps a bleached bone key, which is in her right hand.

You softly ask, "The arm ...or is it leg... bone of a radical?"

You softly ask, "Not able to have that?"

You drool.
