Soulless Seduction (Spring 2021)

Town Criers throughout Sosaria have news <strong>Royal City Celebrates Gargish Art</strong> Travelers from near and far are enjoying a new art exhibit on display in the Royal City. Queen Zhah herself has spoken of how much she enjoys looking at the exhibit from her balcony at the rear of the Royal Palace! The exhibit showcases Gargish Art and the centerpiece, an ode to the Gargish breakthrough of Imbuing, is a masterfully carved totem that is leaving onlookers speechless! Speaking to one guest, The Town Cryer learned these exhibits are a true testament to the abilities and gifts of the Gargish. The exhibit is open daily and is free to the public <h3>The Gargish Art Exhibit</h3> <a href="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Yukio-garg-art.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-24667" src="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Yukio-garg-art.jpg" alt="" width="472" height="601" /></a> There seems to be much excitement, many people chatting. Engage some in conversation by greeting them. <strong>Holmes the Alchemist<a href="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/yukio-holmes.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-24668" src="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/yukio-holmes.jpg" alt="" width="98" height="100" /></a></strong> Greetings <p style="padding-left: 40px">Despicable isn't it? They fawn over imbuing like it is some kind of remarkable breakthrough. The true breakthroughs are in ALCHEMY!</p> Alchemy <p style="padding-left: 40px">The true masters of arcane know alchemy is what can bring life from death, cure from poison, and strength from weakness. It is only the ALCHEMIST that can do these things</p> Alchemist <p style="padding-left: 40px">I have studied alchemy for years and know its true power. Just recently alchemists have managed to harness the power of transmogrify magics between items using alchemy the GARGISH can't even do that.</p> Gargish <p style="padding-left: 40px">Look as that TOTEM, peculiar isn't it? Doesn't even look like a gargoyle! Merely an artists representation of their own perceived self grandeur. Would never see a true ARTISAN do anything so bold.</p> Artisan <p style="padding-left: 40px">Artisans - Hah! Fawn for them and their trinkets like the others do, not me! I am a master of the arcane. Careful research and study has lead me to mastering what I know. I've had enough of this already. *Hrmph*</p> <strong>Zeamina The Artifact Hunter<a href="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/yukio-zeamina.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-24670" src="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/yukio-zeamina.jpg" alt="" width="102" height="101" /></a></strong> Greetings <p style="padding-left: 40px">What a beautiful totem. Just wonder what has taken so long, the Gargish have been the master of ARTIFACTS for years now!</p> Artifacts <p style="padding-left: 40px">Ya, that's my game. I can find just about any artifact in the realm. You mean you haven't heard of me? I find that hard to BELIEVE!</p> Believe <p style="padding-left: 40px">It's the honest truth! You mention Zeamina anywhere around the ORCHID and you'll hear about how great an Artifact Hunter I am - legendary they'd say!</p> Orchid <p style="padding-left: 40px">Ya, you ever been? It's great - the most comfortable place and wonderful service you can find in Buccaneer's Den. The took the old BATHS and really spruced the place up!</p> Baths <p style="padding-left: 40px">You know, the Buccaneer's Den baths. Was a ratty place, but now it's real classy. Might head over there myself after this, amazing what the new OWNERS have done.</p> Owners <p style="padding-left: 40px">A mother daughter pair, orcs. *Laughs* What? Afraid of orcs? Don't be - the service is great and the drinks are strong! Should take a visit some time!</p> <h3><strong>Buccaneer's Den Bath House</strong></h3> <a href="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/yukio-buccs.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-24671" src="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/yukio-buccs.jpg" alt="" width="673" height="642" /></a>There have been some big changes to the old bath house, speak to the manager <strong>Grunk the Manager<a href="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/grunk.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-24673" src="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/grunk.jpg" alt="" width="97" height="99" /></a></strong> Greetings <p style="padding-left: 40px">Welcome to the ORCHID!</p> Orchid <p style="padding-left: 40px">The newly renovated Buc's baths, with lots of fresh orchids from the Black Market, and we feature lots of AMENITIES!</p> Amenities <p style="padding-left: 40px">Whether ye be fer relaxation or recreation our new OWNERS have spared no expense!</p> Owners <p style="padding-left: 40px">The mother daughter pair of GHORZA AND DURA are the proprietors here, they've spared no expense!</p> Ghorza and Dura <p style="padding-left: 40px">Been a while since we seen them, I'm just the manager.

Smart! I love it here, do you see this place? It's so relaxing and luxurious, even for orcs! Listen, I'm gonna take some much needed rest and relaxation but if you are looking to make a score I hear the Black Market has Hook's Map! Bring me one of them and I'll definitely make it worth your time! In the meantime, have you thought about taking a steam? You can afford it right?</p> The map has a cost of 150,000 Doubloons from the <a href="https://uo.com/wiki/ultima-online-wiki/combat/pvm-player-versus-monster/rising-tide/the-black-market-merchant/">Black Market Merchant</a>. Mark it as a quest item and return to the bath house <p style="padding-left: 40px">Ha! Didn't think you'd pull this off! Maybe I misjudged your thirst for artifacts. Well thanks for this, oh ya I guess I should reward you. The treasure coordinates are 157o, 41'N by 56o31'E. But good luck beating me there, I'm a famed artifact hunter after all! And you, well you're you. *laughs* <a href="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/action-figure.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-24672" src="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/action-figure.jpg" alt="" width="35" height="69" /></a>Oh, here's this for your troubles as well!

I guess.</p> <p style="padding-left: 40px">Trinkets</p> <p style="padding-left: 80px">They could be worth something, or not. I dunno.
