You get a silver flute with golden engravings.

Object 'lute elven' is type instrument, extra flags magic anti-evil anti-neutral.
Weight is 3, value is 8000, level is 17.
restrict flags none.
Affects hp by 20.

Is it a lute or a flute? ;)

Other thing about this (f)lute is that it's anti-neutral while being carried by neutral elf mob.

Oh my, that's nothing...ever been to the Snifver-whatever ambassador?  He's a gnome, carries the long word signet ring, it's anti-good, anti-evil and draconian only! *cackles* ;D
But on the subject of the (f)lute, how can Serril play his merry jigs in the square properly without knowing what he's playing? ;D

hmm I wonder for whom the sword you mentioned is designed...

found another mistake meanwhile:

'ring set with two sapphires' has the keywords 'ring two diamonds'.
Maybe it's supposed I can't distinguish sapphire from diamond?

That explain why I stayed hours trying to put the right rings.

The plot thickens! ;D

You drop a silver flute with golden engravings.

[Exits: east south west]
     (Magical) A delicate lute is on the ground.

Well,  a flute and lute really are two different things. A flute, as I am sure you are aware, is silver, and in the wind instruments? A lute is a stringed instrument. So, maybe that needs to be corrected for sure.

Two different instruments? *shrugs*

Jemma Jemma, that was precisely the point ;) :P
I was posting this to point out that exact problem, because it's all the same item ;D :P

Same item? I was saying they are diffenent...I think?

*giggles*
I mean to say, the reason of this post is that the same item, in Solace, seems to be both a flute and a lute in different cases, which are clearly 2 different instruments. ;D
