Potsearch command, Kobaloi and Shouggoth Goals

Potsearch (potion search):

There is a new feature called ‘potsearch’ to help players find potions, scrolls, wands, pills or staves containing a specific spell. As with eqsearch, it does not cover all items in the game, but does cover all open clan equipment, the potions in Aylor, and a few more easily acquired items.

The syntax is:

Potsearch [spell name] [object type] 'details'
 
Type will filter the output to only items of that type and can be any of:
   
   pill, potion, staff, stave, wand.
      
The optional 'details' argument will list all of the spells on each items 
returned rather than just a list of the items themselves.

Venomist Update

A few changes to the venomist subclass skills:

• When a venomist uses the envenom skill, it will cause the flag to do some damage when it fires during combat. This only works for a venomist in combat regardless of who actually added the flag.
• When a venomist uses the envenom skill, it will also add a small amount of average damage to the item. The amount is based on dex but is also capped based on the item level (ie, no level 1 items with +20 avg dam).
• The benefits of the venomist skill ‘cell potential’ will now increase slightly with level as well as stats. The amount that dex affects the bonus has also been increased.
• When an item has been envenomed, using the full identify spell will now show the duration of the spell remaining.
• The lag on a failed ‘necrotic’ is now just a single round of combat. The recovery timer on success has not changed.

Temple of Shouggoth – New Goal:

The god Shouggoth is known throughout Andolor as the god of decay, ruin, and unlife. Years ago, he paid a visit to a temple tucked away in the Demon’s Halo Mountains of Alagh. At the time, the temple was dedicated to a now-unknown god. Shouggoth took it over, murdering the clergy and turning them into zombies. He cursed the temple with decay and through his powers of unlife he maintained the unholy life of the zombies. Thus the Temple of Shouggoth was born.

However, the temple did not keep Shouggoth’s interest for long. Soon he became distracted by Yurgach. Yet he desired to maintain a foothold in the temple and so left a statue containing some of his presence in the temple so the curse of decay would continue. This statue was intended to work in conjunction with a vile beast, however, for for some reason, the curse is weakening…

Keep of the Kobaloi – New Area and Goal:

Who are the Kobaloi? They are an odd little race that many take for unusually intelligent kobolds. However, the Kobaloi would be insulted by such an assumption. They are, rather, akin to Ratlings, and are on very friendly terms with that race.

The Kobaloi tend to be shy, and rarely leave the confines of their mountain home known as The Keep of the Kobaloi. The Kobaloi live in a fairly rigid social structure, organized into four factions. Those who tend to the Royal Family (the Keepers of the Palace); those who tend to the Kobaloi Gods (the Keepers of the Temple); those who farm the subterranean ponds within the mountain depths (the Keepers of the Ponds) and those who guard all of the above (the Keepers of the Peace).

The Kobaloi are suspicious of strangers, but will, on occasion, accept an outsider as one of their own. Perhaps, with a little effort, you might gain their trust and become an Honorary Keeper of the Kobaloi.
