Event Descriptions


WHITE HAVEN'S ICY KISSES:
Send the object of your affection a heartfelt, glacier sent, one-of-a-kind, real live KISS at House White Haven's ICY KISSES event at the Inaugural Faire of the North! We will have our Kissing Booth open from 10pm to 12am on 7th Charlatos. The cost is just 2500 silver to have a sloppy soul-jolting smooch from a troll, bear, vereri, or cobra! Do you have a friend who loves practical jokes, or are you often the target of these jokes? Here's your chance to get even once and for all! Come drop a few silvers and watch the object of your affection (or ire) get smooched by an icky messenger!

THE ICEMULE TOWN GUARD'S BAR BRAWL AND RECRUITMENT:
Feel like punching someone right in the jaw sometimes? Want to make them put their weapons down and just whale your frustrations away? Looking for a spot where magic is prohibited? Look no further! The Icemule Town Guard will host a fisticuffs tournament at Icemule's classic Icehouse Tavern, where brawling is in and everything else is OUT! Come swing a few rounds and see if you are named champion... it's always a hilarious time at this bar! While you're there, meet the officers of the Town Guard and see if you might be interested in joining and serving the town. Hope to see you there!

THE NORTHERN FURY'S TOWN DEFENSE TOUR:
Come take a tour with Olgretien and Co., some of the most ancien--err, respectable citizens and defenders of Icemule! Let them show you how to take advantage of the town walls and other defensive strategies during invasions, and learn a lot about Icemulian lore along the way. Knowledge is power!

FENOG'S REGULARS' MUSICAL SNOWFLAKES:
Come play Fenog's Regulars' version of Musical Snowflakes! Much like musical chairs, except with less moving around. Listen to the music, but when it stops, make sure you grab some snowflakes, because there aren't enough for everyone! If you're too slow, you're out! Rounds will be played until there are three top winners. We'll play as many rounds as time allows. You don't want to miss out on the great prizes and fun! We'll start on 3/8 @ 8pm. Meet us at the Fenog's Regulars Lodge, Annex that is just outside the Icemule Trace East Gate and north a few steps. Look for our encampment and cross the bridge. Can't wait to see you there!

ICICLE'S SIEGERY TOURNAMENT:
Attention siegery fans all across Elanthia! Jalodg is pleased to announce ICICLE's first Siegery Tournament to be held on 8th Charlatos from 9pm - 11pm Elven. There will be prizes for winners and miniatures to give away to all participants, as well as siegery miniatures to use for those who do not have their own. Come have fun at this exciting event happening during our great Faire of the North. You can pre-register for the tournament at https://sites.google.com/view/icicle-imt/events or you can register in person with any ICICLE member beforehand or on the day of the event. Siegery miniatures will be pitted against one another until they grind to a dramatic halt. Come "snow" them what you got!

FENOG'S REGULARS' TIERS GAME:
TIERS is coming! Or, as we like to call it, The Icemule Entertainment Revelry Spectacular! Join Fenog's Regulars as they host everyone's favorite game for fun and prizes! That's right, PRIZES! Action, fun, and good times are all heating up and waiting for you in chilly Icemule Trace. Look for the tent located on the new Faire of the North festival founds on 3/8 @ 11pm. Are you feeling lucky? Come and have a good time, meet new people, and win some prizes.

WHITE HAVEN'S SNOW SEARCH:
The search is on... the Snow Search, that is! Join Kittai and House White Haven for their incredibly Icemulian Snow Search Scavenger Hunt on 8th Charlatos from 12am to 2am at the Inaugural Faire of the North! Great prizes, lots of camaraderie, a little mayhem, a bit of mischief, and glacial-sized prizes! The weekend is coming, and the party is on at the Inaugural Faire of the North’s very own SNOW SEARCH! Agent Kittai and House White Haven challenge you to show off your investigative skills and win this very special Scavenger Hunt! Get there for registration at 12am on 8th Charlatos and uncover the hidden halfling treasures of Icemule!

THE GLACIAL GALA COSTUME CONTEST:
Co-hosted by all the sponsoring organizations and the Town Council, this is a first for the town! Put on your best gala-ish costume and head to the Ancient Keep, Ballroom on 3/10 @ 10pm to close out the festival with a bang! Prizes will be provided by all organizations for the following three categories: best matched couple, funniest/ugliest, and "most halfling".

Thank you for having a shop with 4x runestaves with an assortment of flares, especially +2 mana flares.


As I gaze over the horizon, the wind tugs at my cloak and whispers, "Adventure" in my ear.

Yes, thank you very much! The selection is very impressive, and the mana flares are especially great. I did notice one discrepancy, though. On the sign it states:

All staves are four times enchanted except for the irregularly enchanted woods (deringo +16, hoarbeam +17, and villswood +18).
Staves flare according to the color added to their wood:
-- heat: sunstone-hued
-- cold: dark teal
-- electricity: sallow
-- void: perse smoke-hued
-- impact: blood red
-- mana (+2): chalky



But then the INSPECT on the hoarbeam runestaff shows...

You carefully inspect a bent mossbark crook with chalky lines along the length for sale.
It imparts a bonus of +15 more than usual.
It has been infused with mana.
It appears to weigh about 4 pounds.
It looks like this item has been mainly crafted out of mossbark.

The whole Faire is amazing so far. I had a great time making s'mores with friends last night and receiving kisses from strange creatures. The shop selections have far exceeded my expectations, so whoever designed the goods - kudos to you!

Thank you to the GMs, White Haven officers, MHO's, and all Icemulers who made this happen. These fun and completely free events are one of the best things in Gemstone.

The entrance is missing in SF.

...

You duck just in time to avoid a flying ball of snow. A large battle is in progress here, with halflings of all ages flinging wet snowballs in all directions, occasionally managing to hit each other. Several forts have been erected in nearby yards, where the combatants can briefly escape the war. One entrepreneurial halfling seems to be selling towels for each side to dry off with, although his wares seem to be only marginally dry.

Obvious paths: west

...

(Its another case of the "You also see ..." line being suppressed, which in this case includes the Faire entrance)

Thanks for all the feedback, everyone!

Regarding the incorrect enchant on the mossbark staff, this is now fixed in all instances. If you purchased "a mottled mossbark crosier with a perse smoke-hued band" from Elementary Elementals before the time of this posting, please ASSIST. Ask to speak to a GM to have the enchant adjusted to +20 and the value of the item changed appropriately. You can refer them to this post and they will check your purchasing records.

The lip tint wonked out in a major way last night. PM Wyrom came to the rescue with an item to trade! I am rolling in a table of flavored lipgloss in Brrr Necessities right now for your tasty smooching needs. (Kissing has become a theme of the faire for some reason, so I hope you make out well.)

The "You also see" bug on Lumnis Street is beyond my capabilities to fix, but I know it is being looked into. Even if you can't see it, the entrance is GO TUNNEL. Thanks to everyone else who has spotted typos and smaller, squishable bugs.

The goods were built by me with assistance and approvals from others, and lots of conceptual and design input from the mayor, her advisors, and the council. If you see them, send them your best as well.

More to come tonight, and merchant mania begins tomorrow! :o)

i too had an amazing time at the faire. Got some amazing services done as well. I was just wondering why the IMT Shop/Home Facade merchant never showed. Will there be a time when this merchant will reschedule an appearance?

I just finally read this, and I had to let you know that I'm snickering.

Sorry, just now seeing this. I thought I posted it in another thread. The person behind the merchant had an unexpected, unavoidable conflict, and as this is a special service that requires special training, not anyone can offer it. Will get it on the calendar with plenty of notice and a post in the Icemule folder when it will happen. It is not forgotten! :)
