Hi folks,

I've just updated our Cryptic Chests with some new goodies! Details as follows:


======== NEW CONSUMABLE =======

a charm of the Atav
-------------------
Simply RAISE this charm to instantly be transported to 'On the clouds'. You'll typically find 3-6 of these in a chest at once, and you can PROMO TRADEIN them for 2cr each. This item is free from the normal restrictions applied to the Wings artifact. Consumed on use.


======== NEW RELICS ========

The pieces for these new relics are replacing the current pieces available in the chests.

a wand of shrubbing
-------------------
4x a sliver of wood

A fun gag item to prank your friends! Point this wand at either yourself or someone else and temporarily give them the guise of being shrubbed! (Un)Fortunately this is just an illusion, and only affects your in-room appearance - you can still act like normal. You also gain access to the RUSTLE command so you can shake your leaves in communication typical of shrubs. One rustle yes, two rustles no!


an angled mirror
----------------
4x a chunk of mirror and metal

This mirror allows you to look around corners, so you can be extra careful when moving through dangerous areas! Simply GLANCE <dir> <dir2> to work it.


a horn of the storm
-------------------
4x a section of curved ivory

Blow this horn in a specific direction, and it will cause a great gust to rise up and make everybody line-of-sight from you in that direction fall over. Usage: BLOW <horn> <dir>.


a trapped gold coin
-------------------
4x a piece of unmolded gold

Drop this coin somewhere, and it'll show up in the room as a typical single gold coin. However, when someone tries to take it they'll be stunned for a long time and you'll be alerted, allowing you to get the drop on them! Sadly cannot be forced.


a jar of mist
-------------
4x a piece of smoky glass

Releasing this mist prevents people from glancing in or out of the room it is released in, and also conceals the exits. Simply RELEASE <jar> to release the mist, which will last for 5 minutes or until you CAPTURE MIST again.


a wrap of the Althasai
----------------------
4x a strip of black cloth

While wearing this wrap, any non-ally that attempts to sense your location (e.g. farsee) will suffer a backlash of significant damage.


afterimage racial
-----------------
4x a shimmering essence

This racial relic ability can be activated with the AFTERIMAGE command. For the next 20 seconds, any movement you make will leave an afterimage of yourself in the room that will linger for a few minutes. Can only be used once every hour.


flame-wreathed racial
---------------------
4x a ball of condensed fire

Your character is now wreathed in flames, causing enemies to sometimes take fire damage when attacking you. Additionally this ability is stronger when being attacked by basic punch and kicks - it'll always fire (ha) and will also set the attacker ablaze. Great for those of you with friends that like to randomly kick you!
