p felix
Felix is a taller than average human man, with a big-boned structure and a slightly rounded belly.
His rounded proportions protrude slightly from beneath a stark white buttoned-down chef's uniform,
complete with a signature chef's hat. A handlebar mustache lends his facial features a slightly
comical appearance.
Felix, the Gourmand looks weak and feeble.
He weighs about 240 pound(s).

(Spinesreach): Piper says, "Aaah! I'm about to go watch that. Anyone else going to be a spectator?"
p valerie
Valerie is dressed in a stark white chef's uniform, crisp and clean of stains and tears. Great pains
have been taken to keep her appearance free of the usual kitchen splatters and spills, and her
blonde hair is tightly wound behind her head into a bun. She is a human of average stature and
slightly stockier build.
Valerie, a chef's assistant looks weak and feeble.
She weighs about 240 pound(s).
Thick strands of twinkling starlight drape Aldric as she arrives from the ether.
p garzo
Quite short for a human, Garzo's size is supplemented by his starched white chef's hat, which adds
nearly a meter to his height. Dressed in a stark white chef's uniform that is meticulously-cared for
and free of mess, the man wears nothing else save for a pair of polished black shoes and an apron.
Garzo, a chef's assistant looks weak and feeble.
He weighs about 240 pound(s).

in a battle on the kitchen stage!"
Saraut gives the world a smart salute.
Aymah arrives from the ether.

Alexina kneels down and closes her eyes. You watch in amazement as her earthen flesh begins to flow
into the ground.
Alexina puts on a skintight dress of finespun white silk.

Aymah inclines her head politely to those around her.
Within moments Alexina stands, her body released from its earthen form.

A ghostly apparition glides into view from the ether.
The sandstorm whips around Konnorn, opening small lacerations in his flesh.

Felix, the Gourmand says, "Welcome, welcome!"

Saraut inclines his head politely to Felix, the Gourmand.

Prior Konnorn Ket'Hedj-Cardinalis smiles and says to Felix, the Gourmand, "Thank you."

Saraut puts some gold sovereigns in a reinforced leather pack.
Aldric nods his head at Felix, the Gourmand.
Felix, the Gourmand says, "I'll ask that all who aren't here to cook please exit to the OUT. You

Piper tells you, "I got money on you, Comrade Eleanor! Whip up the best!"

Felix, the Gourmand says, "While you're all waiting, why don't you check out your DISH and
familiarize yourself about my kitchen?"

Konnorn takes a deep breath, shifting his weight slightly.
Aldric recalls a powerful mastiff from the kennels, the hound jumping up on him with a loud bark on
its arrival.
Aldric declares a powerful mastiff to be his active warhound.

You say, "Are we adhering to the guild's standard design business, or is this contest a little more

A cloaked figure says to you, "Good question."

L' gareth uss, Saraut D'veldrin says, "Also, do we have to adhere to the same limitations on length
as normal?"

Felix, the Gourmand says, "Well, as you may have noticed, you have the freedom to take your diners
on a much more elaborate tasting experience, with second and third eating messages."
Konnorn tilts his head and listens intently to Felix, the Gourmand.

Aarbrok ripples into existence before you.
Aarbrok UNPHASED
Aarbrok UNPHASED
Aarbrok UNPHASED
Aarbrok projects a net of light about herself, and you watch as her image becomes faded and ghostly.
Aarbrok tosses a sparkling cloud of dust over herself, and vanishes little by little into
invisibility.
l aarbrok
She is a dexterous Azudim vampire Mystborn, her visage rising to an astounding height of six foot.
Lithe and covered in lean muscle, her arms and legs are toned perfectly for battle, her curvaceous
body giving her appealing assets in all the right places. An ample bosom lay concealed within the
confines of her clothing, pressing the tanned leather and fabric to its limitations. The ashen grey
skin of this Mystborn is wreathed in tendrils of shadow, her visible flesh accented in bruising that
is violet in colour making the skin seem quite lifeless. Spiraling from the front of her head are
two imposing obsidian horns, twisting back over the arch of the head, and ending in a wickedly
barbed point. Flowing, ebon locks of hair flow down behind her shoulders to the middle of her back,
small braids adorned with feathers intermingled within. Through the shadowy hair, two pointed ears
poke out from either side of her head, ending in small pointed tips. Through the wisps of hair that
hang across half of her oval shaped face, a crimson thumbprint has been imprinted within her flesh,
marking her as property of the Ultraist. Carefully observing the surroundings, two golden amber eyes
 gaze upon you hauntingly, flecked slightly with a crimson streaks, the fire within bringing the
irises to a fierce intensity. Completing her terrifying visage a set of ebon feathered wings,
wreathed in shadowy essence protrude from her back, adding an intimidating yet elegant touch to this
visual amalgamation of terror. She is wearing:
a dragon skull mask of scorched iron
a rugged Bahkatu fur cloak
a torc of wolf teeth
an opalescent mask trinket
oddly-shaped prayer beads of Niurian faith
a feral-looking weaponbelt of shrunken heads
a tenebrous gown of pale fur and bone
4 Hearts of Darkness ring
a grisly bone darkbow
a bone-accented quiver of sleek leather
a claw amulet holding an exquisite gem
claw-bearing bracers
a mysterious, starry night owl ring
an ominous carved bone band
a kite shield clad in dark dragon-scales
savage fur-lined scalemail
a blown glass pendant holding a feather
a pair of black, leather-wrapped boots
She walks in the favor of Maghak.
She walks with the boon of Maghak.

Aarbrok peers about herself suspiciously.
Alexina nods politely at Aarbrok.

Aarbrok inclines her head politely to Alexina.

Felix, the Gourmand says, "Beyond that, barring any breaking of the laws of physics and whatnot, you
should permit your dish to be as free as your creativity allows it!"
Sarita strides in from the ether, his colossal form sending tremors through the ground.
Felix, the Gourmand says, "Remember! There can only be ONE winner of the Iron Epicurean! Allow me to
introduce my fellow judges - Valerie, and Garzo! They'll be keeping a close eye on you as you
perfect your dish."
You see Felix, the Gourmand shout, "No more chefs!"

Shadows dissipate from around Macavity's feet, rendering his footfalls audible again.

Flecking the darkened sky with streaks of orange and magenta, rays of early morning light streak
upwards from a newly awakened sun.

Felix, the Gourmand nods his head at Valerie, a chef's assistant.

Felix, the Gourmand nods his head at Garzo, a chef's assistant.
Prior Konnorn Ket'Hedj-Cardinalis says, "Pleasure to meet you both."

Felix, the Gourmand says, "And now... without further ado..... I give you - the SECRET INGREDIENT!"

The secret theme ingredient is...

Macavity slowly fades into view, returning to the realm of perception.
Macavity utters a short incantation, his body slowly fading from sight. Only his laboured breathing
warns you of his presence, and in seconds even this grows muffled and silent.
Garzo, a chef's assistant says, "You must impress your guests and the judges. Do not forget that!"
L' gareth uss, Saraut D'veldrin says, "Do we have a time limit?"
A cloaked figure asks, "How do we add more ingredients?"
Alexina says, "What other ingredients are we allowed to use? Any?"

Felix, the Gourmand says, "Now, now! I will explain everything. Patience, now!"
Aldric smirks.

The corners of a cloaked figure's mouth turn up as he grins mischievously.

Felix, the Gourmand says, "The second round of the Epicurean is the INGREDIENT CHALLENGE."

The body of Erzsebet appears in a flash and her soul descends to fill it, causing the previously
expressionless face to fill with emotion.

The Iron Epicurean Kitchen.
-----

 [+]

-----
Once the hull of the massive airship, this section of the eatery has been rebuilt into a fully
functional kitchen. A simple layout keeps things moving in and out of the busy cooking areas, with
several stations set up in the rectangular hull for food preparation, cooking, and plating. A
counter in the center of the room provides additional space for food serving, and corrugated
aluminum shelves welded into the walls are well-stocked with pantry supplies, spices, and
ingredients. Felix, the Gourmand stands here, presiding over the kitchen. Valerie stands here,
keeping a quiet eye on the kitchen. Garzo, a chef's assistant mulls about the kitchen. A large
mastiff is here, growling softly. A pair of wooden dice lies here, ready to be thrown. The monstrous
form of Sarita is here, her stony body towering over you. She wields a tower shield in her left hand
and a gruesome makeshift flail in her right. L' gareth uss, Saraut D'veldrin is here, draped with
thick strands of twinkling starlight. He wields a needle-pointed dirk in his left hand and an iron-
tipped whip in his right. Alexina is here, hidden. She wields a menacing flail in her left hand and
an ice-glazed adamant shield in her right. Azure Rose, Lady Phoenecia Sinclair is here. Prior
Konnorn Ket'Hedj-Cardinalis is here. He wields a sleek volcanic darkbow in his hands. Envoy of
Knowledge, Elder Macavity Gravz-Dar'sroth is here, shrouded. He wields a rune-inscribed staff of
Mystery in his left hand and a reinforced tower shield in his right. Wild Huntress, Aymah Adesso is
here. Doyen Aarbrok Sarraski, the Mystborn Vicar is here, shrouded. Nucemail Erzsebet Ve'kahi,
Padishe Nimir'a is here, draped with thick strands of twinkling starlight. She wields a gnarled,
fiery emerald-topped staff in her left hand. Postulant Aldric Adariel is here, draped with thick
strands of twinkling starlight. A massive sandstorm threatens to choke out the life in this area.
You see a single exit leading out.
[No current room set.]

Dish owner: Eleanor        Ingredients: bacon, rice, clams
-------- CURRENT DESCRIPTIONS -----------------
Appearance   : a decadent salted rice and bacon pudding with sweet clam cakes
Dropped      : A dish with a luxurious rice and bacon pudding waits here.
Examined     : A large dish holds this rich and decadent dessert, the base of which is a full-bodied
and smooth rice pudding. Cooked to tender perfection, the white grains have been blended with cream
and brown sugar. The main feature of the pudding, however, adding a salty flavour to the sweet dish,
is bits of bacon stirred throughout- their pinkish flecks balance in flavour perfectly with the
sweeter base. Arranged on top of the pudding are a number of artful additions to the dish- a
luxurious scoop of velvety icecream, flavoured with vanilla bean and yet more of the smoky, salty
bacon, sits next to a few artful twists of hardened maple toffee. These golden, crystalline spires
are embedded into the pudding like a fan, accompanied by some thin and crunchy strips of maple
candied bacon. Piled next to the candied flourish is a small handful of golden, deep fried cakes
which contain a mixture of sweet potato and shredded clam, adding another sweet-salty combination to
the dish. Each of the cakes has been rolled in a cinnamon sugar mixture, to give a hint of spice
that rounds out the play of flavours present in the dish.
-------- OPTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS ----------------
Taste        : Rich rice pudding brings the flavours of brown sugar and salty bacon to your tongue
as you taste the decadent dessert. The icecream is smooth and velvety, vanilla bean bringing an
aromatic hint to the taste. The candied bacon and maple toffee are a perfect balance of sweet and
salty, and the sweet clam cakes add a light and fluffy change in texture that makes for a dish that
delivers a varied and harmonious experience.
Smell        : The scents of brown sugar and bacon waft from this dish, salty and sweet blending for
a mouth-watering aroma that begs for tasting.
Eaten 1p     : You dip a spoon into the pudding, indulging in a mouthful of the rich, smooth, salty
and sweet dessert. Little flecks of bacon make themselves apparent alongside the soft grains of rice
as you chew.
Eaten 3p     : $(name$) dips a spoon into $(his$) pudding, indulging in a mouthful of the decadent
dessert.
2nd Eaten 1p : Sampling the icecream and the candied flourish, you are rewarded with flavours of
maple, more bacon, and vanilla bean- the smoky meat makes a perfect balance to the other, sweeter
tones, and the crispness of the candy and toffee are supported brilliantly by the velvety chilled
dessert.
2nd Eaten 3p : Now sampling the icecream and candied flourish, $(name$) continues to try the various
flavours and textures of the decorative dish.
3rd Eaten 1p : The clam cakes are crisply fried, adding a crunch as you bite into them- your tongue
is met with another sweet-salty balance, the shredded seafood accompanied by sugar and the cinnamon
coating. Overall, the warmth of the pudding and cakes, the cool of the icecream, and the various
meticulously-balanced flavours make for a glorious dessert which you find yourself wishing there was
more of. Before long, however, you have finished the dish entirely.
3rd Eaten 3p : Devouring the sweet clam cakes and the remainders of the garnish, $(name$) soon
reaches the end of a decadent salted rice and bacon pudding, leaving the dish empty of all but a few
grains of rice at the bottom.

up in a large cabbage leaf. The cabbage balls, in turn, have been wrapped with a pair of bacon
strips, and then carefully braised until the bacon is cooked, and the cabbage tender and

First to catch the eye in this unique and elegant dish is the generously scooped dollop of pink-hued
ice cream. The creamy concoction melting slightly upon the toasted bread that has been hammered to
mold the dish in which this sits.  The bread itself is simplistic, toasted and liberally dusted with
a coating of honey and powdered sugar, offering a bit of texture for the nesting of this culinary
delight.  Rising up from the mound in a towering spire are strips of bacon, woven together and baked
to a crisp, the pork fat rendered beautifully leaving them a dark colour and firm to the touch.
Strands of candied sugar wrap around the bacon spire in a cyclonic fashion, adding a touch of

Diced and cooked fresh pancetta has been mixed with cayenne pepper, butter, and sauteed leeks. The
scallops have been seasoned on both sides with just a bit of salt and then pan-seared with fresh
lemon juice. Just before finishing, the scallops have been wrapped in fresh pancetta to keep in the
flavors. Placing down the mixture of pancetta and leeks, the pan seared scallops are placed atop the
bed and seasoned with just a bit more fresh lemon and some of the oil from the sauteed pancetta.

This shallow wooden bowl bears a large, ripe red tomato, its leafy top carefully removed along most
of its pulp. Inside, bacon sauteed to a gold crisp has been chopped up into crunchy morsels,
suffused in a mixture of fresh olive oil and cream, seasoned with coriander, and a dash of salt and
pepper, and just a trace of sugar, into a fragrant vinaigrette. Small cubes of avocado further grant
the dish a fresh taste, all combining into the stuffing of this treat.

This dish consists of a base of sliced potato and onions covered by a layer of crisp, delicious, and
not particularly healthy bacon. Furthermore, finely chopped bits of bacon has even nestled itself
within the layers of base ingredients, the slightly salty meat permeating every facet of the gratin.
A thin layer of goat cheese has been grated over its surface before it was cooked, giving it an
appealing, golden brown surface as well as enhancing all the flavours of the dish; the bacon
especially benefits from the addition of those very tasty cheese flakes.

A sturdy, earthenware bowl painted in a cheery pattern of white and red is the vessel for this
broccoli and cheddar soup, which has been topped liberally with bite-sized pieces of crispy bacon.
The soup base is mild cheddar melted in cream, lightly seasoned with black pepper. The majority of
the broccoli pieces come from the stem and are cooked to a soft texture capable of being swallowed
without chewing. In contrast, the bacon is cooked crisply, adding a unique bite and saltiness to the
otherwise silky soup.

A large dish holds this rich and decadent dessert, the base of which is a full-bodied and smooth
rice pudding. Cooked to tender perfection, the white grains have been blended with cream and brown
sugar. The main feature of the pudding, however, adding a salty flavour to the sweet dish, is bits
of bacon stirred throughout- their pinkish flecks balance in flavour perfectly with the sweeter base.
 Arranged on top of the pudding are a number of artful additions to the dish- a luxurious scoop of
velvety icecream, flavoured with vanilla bean and yet more of the smoky, salty bacon, sits next to a
few artful twists of hardened maple toffee. These golden, crystalline spires are embedded into the
pudding like a fan, accompanied by some thin and crunchy strips of maple candied bacon. Piled next
to the candied flourish is a small handful of golden, deep fried cakes which contain a mixture of
sweet potato and shredded clam, adding another sweet-salty combination to the dish. Each of the
cakes has been rolled in a cinnamon sugar mixture, to give a hint of spice that rounds out the play
of flavours present in the dish.

A succulent green pepper has been masterfully hollowed to make room for a rather interesting-looking
filling within. The filling itself seems to be composed almost entirely from meat, though only two
different shades within it are immediately discernible. Amidst the meaty, mush-like filling, bits of
parsley, chive, and other spices can be subtly noted. As if a more decorative afterthought, a few
larger chunks of bacon have been strategically sprinkled atop the pepper and its meaty filling.

A simple platter has been chosen to host a perfectly broiled and sizable chicken, which has been
cooked thoroughly in butter and herbs, with hints of rosemary, basil and sage floating amongst the
butter that oozes out to rest in a pool on the plate. The chicken, which was not small to begin with,
 has been stuffed full, bacon lining its insides, which has then been filled with a mixture of sweet
corn and bacon that has been chopped up into smaller pieces. Strips of perfectly cooked bacon adorns
the platter artfully around and beneath the main dish, hinting at the contents of the glorious
stuffing within. The succulent bird has been cooked to a delicious-looking golden brown.

The massive former airship hull has been repurposed into a rustic eatery. Though it retains its
overall appearance as a giant hulk of scrap metal, it has definitely been shaped by the hands of
construction professionals into a solid, working building. The room is bisected by a long, aluminum-
sided counter, behind which the eatery's customers can be served their orders and make their
requests. Behind the counter northwards leads into an enclosed kitchen, and the exit to the eatery
is southwest. Directly west is an outdoor patio with a spacious seating area. A stout donkey stands
patiently by, waiting for a burden. A massive golem made of clay stands here. Arms held above her
head, Piper is here, cheering wildly. You see a sign here instructing you that WARES is the command
to see what is for sale.
You see exits leading southwest and west (open pine door).

[No current room set.]
From the kitchen, you see action:
Tapping his fingers together anxiously, Felix walks out to the out in a hurry.
A tall, portly man enters in from the in and stands off to one side.

From the kitchen, you see action:
Valerie exits without a word, headed out.
Clasping her hands behind her back, Valerie walks in calmly from the in.
