Remember to MARK your new purchases from the Festival and REGISTER them in the unlikely event of Ghezresh Eating GemStone again. REGISTER it every time you get something done to it, whether it be unlocking, lightening, deepening, or altering. If you need a GM to find it, it might also be a good idea to be able to describe it… |
