Description

All clergy of the mighty god Galduron, Lord of Wealth and Finance, have the common attribute of an overwhelmingly precise understanding of the principles of value and fiscal policy. In line with these traits, Galduron grants his priests the use of an interdimensional portal to the vault of the Temple of Galduron in Sanctuary. The portal takes the form of a golden hoop, which allows Gatherers can place items within and thereby transport them to the vault, where the divinity of Galduron will transmute them directly into their proper value in gold coins. See 'help hoop' for details.

In order to maintain the favor of Galduron, all priests must maintain a certain level of value either in the bank or on their person, in the form of both coinage and the value of carried objects. Those who fail to maintain the favor of Galduron in this manner will be stricken with illnesses as the ailments of their finances are reflected in their bodies and spirits.

Lastly, Gatherers may perform religious devotions for others, known simply as 'banking services', and use the sacred litanies of Galduron to withdraw gold from or desposit gold into Galduron's divine realm. For additional details, see 'help banking services'.


Induction Text

   You purr, ~/ I wish to devote myself to Galduron \~ in lyrically-accented Anglic.
   You are now a second-degree specialist in finance and ownership. [event logged]
   Krassus nods approvingly at you.
   Krassus says, $ Welcome to the Gatherers, wealthy one. $
   Krassus gives you a large gold hoop.


help hoop

   The magical hoop you carry as a symbol of your devotion to Galduron will respond to the following commands:
 $ l<ook> in hoop $
   shows the contents of Galduron's Vault within the hoop
 $ get/take <item(s)> from hoop $
   retrieves something from the vault or hoop
 $ put <item(s)> in hoop $
   puts something inside the hoop to be transferred to the vault

The Vault is shared by all Gatherers. As noted in change #6755, worthless items will be deleted when placed in the Vault. Also, artifacts and kept items will not be transmuted to gold.


help start banking services

   Gatherer Service Activity

Change #6439
Galduron's Vault (also known as the place where things go when Gatherers put them in the hoop) now transforms objects into wealth automatically when they are placed in the vault. Caution should be taken not to place things in the hoop that you want to continue existing as things other than gold coins. The amount of gold produced by this effect is, on average, roughly what you would get from selling the items to an indifferent vendor with moderate parity in one's respective haggling skills (ie a roughly average amount relative to what is possible for an expert haggler/trader).

Powers

Immanent Authority

Gatherer Combat Maneuver
Usage: perform immanent authority [[upon] <target> with <<amount> gold>]
Typical Activity Cost: 20

Those who worship Galduron know that gold is the true path to power.  By sacrificing a few one of one's gold to Galduron, one may call down His authority upon a foe to a degree of
severity in accordance with the amount of gold sacrificed.  The more gold one sacrifices, the greater the power -- but also the greater loss to the executor's wealth.  If an
amount is not specified, a random amount will be chosen based on the executor's net wealth, though this value will never be larger than one-tenth of the executor's coins on hand.

Example:

You offer up five hundred gold coins and call down the authority of Galduron against Frajel, and a bolt of godly wrath leaps from your large gold hoop toward Frajel and
existentially nullifies her right arm, despite her attempt to dodge.
