Note System

General Information

The note system in Avlis allows a character to write notes using Scribing Supplies via the resulting user interface (NUI) that launches. The written notes can be either a plain note, an open letter, or a sealed envelope (signed or unsigned). The envelope can be opened, breaking the seal and revealing the text of the original note.

Items

Scribing Supplies
Indulgance

Instructions

The system is started by activating Scribing Supplies. This launches a graphical user interface that allows you to select Note or Letter and then add a Title and Text. Upon clicking Done for either type, you will have a chance to review your text, which also allows you to return to Modify it.

Notes

Upon completing a note, the item is created in your inventory.

Name - the Title that you typed
Description - The Text that you typed.

To read a note, you can simply examine the note item in your inventory.

Letters

Upon completing a letter, you have the option to put it in an envelope; if not selected, the letter sheet is created in your inventory.

Name - the Title that you typed
Description - The Text that you typed.

To read an unsealed letter, you can simply examine the letter item in your inventory.

If you choose to put it in an envelope, the following item is created in your inventory:

Unsigned Envelope

Name - Sealed Letter
Description - "A letter within a sealed envelope."

Signed Envelope

Name - Sealed Letter from [PC's name or alias]
Description - "A letter within a sealed envelope."

Examining an envelope does not read the letter. To read a letter, right-click the item in your inventory, select Use: Unique Power Self Only, and this will destroy the envelope and create the letter item in your inventory, which you can read as described above.

Indulgance

Using the indulgance item on a note or letter item will copy the note into an energy form that the gods and goddesses of this world may take notice of. In game mechanic terms, the contents of the note are sent to the DM chat channel of the current server and the note or letter is destroyed.

Storing or Binding Notes and Letters

Binding notes and letters into a book is not currently supported. If books are your thing, see the link below.
