Subj: Uh, that's just nasty, Thandiwe
Now that I have your attention…
There will be at least one scrying shop at Ebon Gate this year and I’ve created a brand new scrying device for it.
It is based on the Apdo Gno Burzka’ask, which is a krolvin seer that uses Haruspex as a divination method.
Here is a sample of it:
The black rolton collapses to the ground, emits a final bleat, and dies.
You glance down to see a femur-hilted obsidian zirah bouk in your right hand and nothing in your left hand.
Laying your hands upon the soft expanse of the rolton’s stomach, you make a deep cut in the flesh with your zirah bouk. Innards begin to spill upon the ground, and you fish around in them for a moment before you prize free a waxy fat-saturated stomach.
You glance down to see a femur-hilted obsidian zirah bouk in your right hand and a waxy fat-saturated stomach in your left hand.
You analyze your fat-saturated stomach and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
A waxy fat-saturated stomach is created by using the blade of an Apdo Gno Burzka’ask on a dead creature. It can be turned up to three times to discern various features about the type of organ it is, and those can be used to predict the future. Once it has been turned three times, it will be destroyed.
A waxy fat-saturated stomach can not be altered, sold, or eaten. It must be used while fresh from the kill as it will rot.
You analyze your obsidian zirah bouk and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
This is the blade of an Apdo Gno Burzka’ask, which is a Krolvin seer. It will gut an animal, and only an animal, to steal its organs. You can do this by typing POINT zirah bouk at {animal}. It is your task to divine the future from those organs.
This particular zirah bouk is at the off-the-shelf tiering and can be unlocked once, and it traps for point, rub, and exhale.
It has a chance to create one of four different types of organs.
You may alter this zirah bouk freely, but please try to keep its material as either glass, obsidian, or metal. It should only ever be a small knife or dagger, and it can never have any kind of special flares, weighting, or enhancive abilities.
Enjoy!

Just to be clear…
No animal companions and no familiars.
I don’t want any misunderstandings here.

Very cool. Can anyone use the extracted organ, or is it linked to holding the blade?

Can the user choose the organ? Or is that linked to the item? (This for a liver, this for a stomach, this for a heart…)

These seem rather neat. Definitely getting one for my swamp hag.
Out of curiosity…are these wearable, and what does the T1 unlock do?

Hah!
Might this be a nod to the kingdom of Cherek, and the propensity for fondling sheep (and horse?!) guts in augury?
Well done! I don’t portray a seer of any type among my characters, but this almost makes me want to start. . .

I’m glad you asked about tiers…
Every blade that is off the shelf can be unlocked one time. There is a special, raffle quality tier on the blade that does more. It can only be found in jackpot prizes and is usually on a completely altered blade.
That being said, here’s a breakdown for you:
Of-the-shelf : 4 organ types & 3 verbs Tier 1 : 6 organ types & 5 verbs Raffle Tier: 8 organ types & 7 verbs
Here’s an example of using the organ:
>turn my stomach ou turn the stomach over in your hands, examining it in minute detail. As your eyes rove over it, you notice that the greater curve of stomach is pockmarked with puckered flesh. G>turn my stomach You turn the stomach over in your hands, examining it in minute detail. As your eyes rove over it, you notice pockets of fatty membranes fused to the exterior wall. >turn my stomach You turn the stomach over in your hands, examining it in minute detail. As your eyes rove over it, you notice a snakeskin-like pattern that trails across the wall that is interrupted by nodules of yellowish fat.
Sensing that you have gleaned all you can from the stomach, you feel it begin to transform under your touch. The flesh loses its elasticity and suddenly turns brittle. Within seconds it is nothing more than sanguine ash that sifts through your fingers.

8 different organs! That’s more organs than an Ordim has!

It’s not an accident that you chose “turn my stomach,” was it?

Purchasing the weapon and unlocks will be exclusive to Duskruin for now. The same goes for the parasite weapons.

eat my intestines
You bring an artery-lined length of intestines to your lips, whispering a soft prayer to its still hot flesh, and, as if in answer, it flashes into a sudden blinding white light that completely incinerates the tissue until nothing remains.
Sorry, gang. It’s a non-negotiable topic.

Ah, there’s still a lot that can be done with that messaging! I hope it’s as neat in the third person. 😀
