Howdy,

I just noticed that my tabla skin is broken. But, for the heck of me, I can't figure out how to fix it. When I attempt to PUT SKIN ON TABLA, I get the following:

You get a drum skin from atop a donation shelf.

> put my skin on my tabl
You stare at your brass tabla in confusion, turning it this way and that in effort to see where to place your new drum skin, but no matter what you do you can't seem to figure it out! Finally, you give up with a frustrated sigh and vow to learn more about your tabla before trying again.

Also:

You get a repair kit from inside your backpack.

> open my kit

Guess what? It's already open!

100 intelligence, eh...? <<<Always loved this messaging!

> repair tabl with kit
Your brass tabla is not in need of repair.

You search your mind for what you know of the brass tabla...

The brass tabla is a small, hourglass-shaped drum with a base slightly smaller than the top which has been fitted with soft skins or hides. Played singly or in a pair, the tabla makes a brisk accompaniment to the more melodic instruments that the S'Kra Mur of Muspar'i favor.

The sapphire-eyed lizard on Copernicus's shoulder drapes itself limply over his shoulder and, with a contented hiss, goes still.

Am I missing something? I couldn't find anything on Elanthipedia.

If I'm recalling the syntax correctly, it should be PUT (THING) ON MY (INSTRUMENT)

Let me know if that doesn't work, or any of the others suggested.

I wonder if it has something to do with the difficulty of the instrument? The tabla is extremely difficult. If it's trying to tell you your Mech needs to be 1000+, that might be a problem?

Do you need to clean it first? I noticed your appraisal showed it was very dirty.

He's in TF where there is no BUG verb last I remember.

Thanks Evike!
