Enchanting Projects Gone Bad

Hhooru provides the following disclaimers.

• Enchanting is dangerous !!!
• Enchanting is subject to catastrophic failure !!!
• Hhooru does NOT hold you responsible if your friends die.
• Hhooru does NOT hold you responsible if your enchantment project kills someone.
• Hhooru guarantees NOTHING ! Any SPECIAL items that are one of a kind are subject to inherent risks. Please be aware that CATASTROPHIC FAILURE is an inherent risk involved in any project.
• CATASTROPHIC FAILURE: Your payment is LOST. Your item is LOST. Hhooru to this date, has not had a catastrophic failure yet. But he has had multiple failures on some items. Plate armor, because of the size and weight of the item, tends to be a lot harder to enchant. And Hhooru is not rich! So be aware of the risks. If you give Hhooru a sword of four enchantments and that weapon becomes a product of catastrophic failure, you will need to pay for a new enchantment and supply a new weapon. Furthermore, Hhooru, does not enchant without payment up front.
• And just when you thought it was safe to go back into the enchanting room, MORE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE does exist... Saberwolv vouches.

The Real TRUE Story!

You see Saberwolv and Hhooru. Both are standing in the Wizard Workroom in Twilight Hall. The area looks normal and everything feels normal... But something isn't right... Hhooru didn't realize it, but he was about to become part of Elanthian History. And here it is, the actual recording of how Elanthia Disappeared!

Saberwolv removes an ancient moon-crested tome from in his black silk cloak.

Hhooru picks up a leather skull cap.

Saberwolv carefully flips to the next page of his moon-crested tome.

Hhooru picks up a wooden shield. ( Hhooru will never see this shield again. )

Saberwolv grumpily says, "enchantin..."

Saberwolv carefully flips to the next page of his moon-crested tome.

Saberwolv carefully flips to the next page of his moon-crested tome.

Saberwolv peers over the rim of his spectacles.

Saberwolv gently traces his finger across a page in his moon-crested tome as he studies it intently.

Hhooru tries to put a wooden shield in the brown Hhooru disk that is on the floor.

The disk quietly evades him. He chases the brown disk around for exactly twenty-one seconds before sneaking up on it.

Hhooru successfully puts a wooden shield into the brown Hhooru disk. ( This is the shield that Hhooru will never ever see again. )

(Saberwolv nods to himself.)

Hhooru puts a leather skull cap in the brown Hhooru disk that is on the floor.

Hhooru closes the brown Hhooru disk after chasing it and grabbing it. Hhooru is quick! ( Hhooru thinks the items in the disk are safely tucked away. )

Saberwolv put an ancient moon-crested tome in his black silk cloak.

Knowing how enchantments go, Hhooru gets ready for a big battle.  Hhooru removes a slender filet knife from in his silk gem pouch.

With knife in hand, Hhooru is still not satisfied and must protect himself further.

Hhooru slings a midnight blue vultite shield emblazoned with a silver crescent moon off from over his shoulder.

Hhooru takes a defensive stance.

Hhooru looks puzzled and confused for a moment. He wonders if he's paranoid. He then postures himself into a more relaxed defensive stance and walks around confidently in a neutral stance.

Saberwolv mutters loudly.

Hhooru proudly states, "I am ready."

Saberwolv grumpily says, "stand back, this'un is a powerful enchant"

Hhooru becomes paranoid and feels like he may not be strong enough to dodge a failed enchantment. He recites a series of mystical phrases while raising his hands, invoking a powerful spell...

Saberwolv gets an odd twinkle in his eyes as they start to glow a bright blue momentarily.

Hhooru gestures and appears much stronger.

Hhooru grins confidently.

Saberwolv recites a series of mystical phrases while raising his hands...

Hhooru nods.

Saberwolv gestures.
Saberwolv looks considerably more imposing.

Saberwolv shrugs.

Hhooru moves to stand behind Saberwolv.

Saberwolv traces a series of glowing runes while chanting an arcane phrase...
Saberwolv mutters loudly.
Saberwolv gestures at an enruned black leather hauberk.
Saberwolv looks pleased.

Hhooru beams!  He his very happy to be alive.

Hhooru happily says, "Looked good from this end."

Saberwolv grumpily says, "Seems to have been successful"

>wear my shield ( Hhooru attempts to wear his shield. )
>put my knife in my pouch ( Hhooru attempts to put his knife in his pouch. )
>"Guess there's no need to ... ( Hhooru attempts to say something. )
>peer ( Hhooru is really confused now and starts to get nervous. He attempts to peer at the environment surrounding him. He realizes something very bad is happening... He wonders what he put in the brown Hhooru disk... )
 green beams... Yes green beams is the last thing he ever saw...
>grimace ( Hhooru can not even grimace... )

Elanthia disappears.

When Hhooru awakens...

Hhooru realizes he's still standing up... but something just isn't right... things are different... some things are missing...

Hhooru glances down at his hands and notices a leather skull cap in his right hand.

The skull cap is still here... but something is funny... he remembers he stuck it in his disk. Hhooru searches around and mutters something nasty about invisible brown disks.

Some thoughts are felt...

You feel Hhooru's thoughts in your head, "Saberwolv disenchanted the lands with his last enchantment. Careful with your enchanting folks!"

( Saberwolv did say it was a powerful one. )

You feel Dantrotic's thoughts in your head, "That's why an advocate a Saberwolv Decapitation policy."

Hhooru feels a private thought from Maiv, "are you jokeing, or is it possible to screw things up that bad with enchanting?"

You feel Hhooru's thoughts in your head again, "There goes Jezabel again!"

Ouch! Hhooru, hereby, states that Saberwolv did NOT provide consent to the publication of these events.
