Painting Restoration, etc 11/16/2012 03:18 AM CST
Recently appraised the art in Raven Court with my necro platside - thought some of the messaging might have been guild-related, so then did identical piece with my primeside trader - and the results were identical. It seems some of the artwork is badly in need of restoration.


The kneeling figure of the chained man sits the height of a humanoid forearm.
Cast in bronze, it has taken on a deep green patina typical of long submersion in the murky tannins of a stagnant bog.
The androgynous figure's exaggerated limbs are shackled,
and its broken frame bends beneath the weight of the chains.
It cradles its head in its hands, but between the too-long fingers, you are certain that it is smiling.
A small golden plaque underneath the figurine reads, "Recovered from beneath the Zaulfung Swamp.
Craftsperson unknown."

<<You deduce the metal is rather dingy and soiled and will be lost to time's wrath if not taken care of immediately.>>



Perhaps when the Artistry part of Crafting is released, an "event" could be tied into this, as "The Raven's Court <as many modern-day museums do> seeks endowments to keep their works of art in pristine quality".

An arisen dummy zombie bellows, "You will all be ssslaughtered!"
