When placed on the tongue, it dissolves instantly and gives the user the ability to spit forth spiraling bolts of acidic green energy at an opponent. ________ BANDAGES ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Special: Heals 3 Hit Points Weight: 0 This is a roll of bandages, useful for stanching minor wounds. ___________ BLOOD CHARM ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Special: Heals 18 Hit Points Weight: 0 This glistening drop of blood is as hard and smooth as a pearl. When placed on the tongue, it dissolves instantly and spreads through the character's veins and heart. Like its younger cousin, the clot charm, the blood charm stimulates the user's blood into clotting scabbing over existing wounds, healing damage the user may have suffered before consuming the charm. However, while the blood charm's initial healing effect is more powerful than the clot charm, it has no other lasting effects. _________________________ BLOOD FLY CHARM (ABISHAI) ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Special: Heals 3 Hit Points Increases Regeneration Weight: 0 Blood flies are pests believed to have originated from one of the Lower Planes. In many ways, they resemble mosquitoes with an insatiable appetite -- a cloud of blood flies can suck all the blood from a human body within minutes. Their stingers are capable of penetrating even the skin of fiends. Despite their vicious appetite and temperament, blood flies are used by healers to draw forth diseased blood from an individual or even drain blood from a dead body. On occasion, blood flies are used to siphon off rare types of blood and are then paralyzed with powders or spells and kept in storage for future use. This particular blood fly charm seems to hold the blood of a lesser fiend, an abishai, in its food sac. When this paralyzed fly is consumed, the user heals a small amount of damage immediately and also gains the ability to regenerate for a certain period of time. If the character is already able to regenerate, then the regeneration rate is increased. __________ BONE CHARM ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Special: +2 to Armor Class +2 to Armor Class vs. Crushing Attacks +15% Resistance to Crushing Attacks Weight: 0 This old finger bone charm has been hollowed out and tiny symbols have been scratched on its surface. A user must snap it in two to activate it. When snapped, the bone charm temporarily strengthens the user's skeleton and acts as a ward against breaks and fractures. The charms gives the user an overall bonus to their armor class and additional resistance against crushing attacks. ______________ CHARCOAL CHARM ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Special: +50% Resistance to Fire +25% Resistance to Magical Fire Weight: 0 This piece of charcoal is a charred bone fragment of some creature, perhaps a finger bone or a talon. Various symbols have been scratched onto its surface... the scratchings are so faint you almost missed them. This charcoal charm temporarily protects the user against flames and extreme heat. To use the charm, the charred bone is snapped and both halves are ground to powder, then the charcoal dust is rubbed over the heart of the user. ________________________ CHARM OF INFINITE RECALL ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Special: Lore Skill set to 100 Weight: 0 While practicing, some Mage students discovered a means to condense and store knowledge into a charm form. This particular charm contains the entire resource library of the famed Charon School of Mages. Unfortunately, the effects of this charm are fleeting and the user is rendered unintelligible for a short period of time. ____________________ CLIPPED COPPER CHARM ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Special: Minor Copper Blessing +1 to Luck (temporary) Weight: 0 This copper piece has been "clipped"... most of the copper has been shaved off, no doubt to still keep the appearance it is a coin and allowing the 'clipper' to use the shaved copper to make another coin. Although many Hive dwellers practice this method "making money," when the Fated faction practices it, they do so with a frightening sense of purpose, creating charms that reflect their own miserly natures. In order to create these charms, the Fated faction seek out failed business owners and other individuals who once possessed great wealth, then has a reversal of fortune and were left desitute. These individuals are then given enchanted carving blades and asked to "clip a copper" for the Fated in a tedious day-long ritual, which infuses the copper coin with the last traces of their former luck. The ritual and the nature of the individual clipping the copper allows a minor enchantment to seep into the coin and affect the fortune of the whoever uses it. When the clipped copper charm is flipped into the air, it will spill into a rain of copper pieces, and bestow some luck upon the user. __________ CLOT CHARM ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Special: Heals 9 Hit Points +5% Resistance to Slashing Attacks +10% Resistance to Piercing Attacks Weight: 0 This glistening blood drop is as hard and smooth as a pearl. When placed on the tongue, it dissolves instantly and spreads through the character's bloodstream. The charm stimulates the user's blood into clotting and scabbing over existing wounds, healing any minor damage the user may have suffered before consuming the charm. Furthermore, as long as the charm is in effect, the player's blood becomes more "aware" of new wounds that occur, especially any attacks that draw blood. The charmed individual becomes more resistant to slashing and piercing attacks, as their blood clots and scabs over the wound as soon as the flesh is torn. _______________ COCKROACH CHARM ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Special: +4 to Armor Class +2 to Armor Class vs. Crushing Attacks +10% Resistance vs. Crushing Attacks Weight: 0 Cockroaches are as common on the Planes as other scavengers. The shell of this particular dead cockroach has been dotted with paints and faint arcane symbols. The magic contained within the charm is activated when the roach is consumed. When swallowed, the recipient temporarily gains the protection of the cockroach. Their skin hardens, taking on the strength of a suit of chain mail armor, and the charmed individual becomes difficult to squash, giving them added protection vs. crushing attacks. ________________ CORPSE FLY CHARM ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Invokes: "Swarm Curse" Weight: 0 This corpse fly looks like it was frozen; it appears to be dead, but you can't be sure. The magic contained within the charm is activated when the insect is consumed. When swallowed, the recipient suddenly becomes extremely nauseous... a few seconds later, the charmed individual expels a stream of insects from their nose and mouth. Provided the charmed individual can keep their wits about them after the casting, the caster can send this cloud to attack a target. _________________ CRANIUM RAT CHARM ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Special: +5% Detect Traps Skill Bonus +5 to Lore Skill +1 to Intelligence Weight: 0 The body of this cranium rat has been specially prepared: its insides have been hollowed out and stuffed with various herbs and shreds of papyrus containing arcane symbols. When the charm is consumed, the user gains a temporary increase to their reasoning and perception abilities; it feels as if the player is looking through several pairs of eyes and sifting through several minds at once... the sensation is somewhat dizzying for a minute or two, but there are no harmful side effects. _______________ DIRTY RAT CHARM ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Special: +10% Stealth Skill Bonus +5% Pickpocket Skill Bonus -1 to Charisma Weight: 0 Usable only by Thieves This cranium rat tail charm is particularly filthy and smells faintly of vomit. The tail is stiff, like a wire, and it can be bent into different shapes... it would almost make a great lockpick, except it is too thick. When this rank charm is consumed, the user temporarily becomes much stealthier and shiftier, giving them a greater chance of success with hiding in shadows and picking pockets. People viewing the charmed individual will detect something unsavory about him, however, reducing first impressions accordingly. This unsavoriness will last only as long as the charm is in effect, however. _____________ DIVINE CENSER ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Invokes: "Raise Dead" Weight: 3 When lit, this censer has the power to entice the soul back of the recently departed. Unfortunately, there is only a limited amount of incense left in it. _______________________________ DUSTMAN EMBALMING CHARM, LESSER ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Invokes: "Embalming, Minor" 3 Charges Weight: 0 Usable only on Nameless One and Morte This strange metal bracelet has directions inscribed on the side of it. Judging from the crude text, it appears that the bracelet works by being held by a living creature, then while pronouncing a mantra to the 'True Death,' it is touched to the forehead of a zombie or skeleton. When this is done, the minor enchantment held within the item spreads through the corpse, strengthening their bones, killing traces of corpse rot and/or grave mold, and helping to seal minor tears in the skin. _______________ EMBALMING FLUID ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Special: +2-8 to Hit Points +1 to Armor Class Weight: 1 Usable only by the Nameless One and Morte This is a sealed jar of embalming fluid. It is used as a preservative for dead bodies. As an added benefit, the smell of the fluid is more than sufficient to mask the smell of any rotting bodies it is used on. Effects are temporary. ___________ HEART CHARM ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Special: Heals 27 Hit Points Reduces Fatigue +10% Resistance to Slashing Attacks +20% Resistance to Piercing Attacks Weight: 0 This glistening drop of blood is as hard and smooth as a pearl. When placed on the tongue, it dissolves instantly and spreads through the character's veins and heart. The heart charm is more powerful than the blood and clot charms, and it heals a number of wounds instantly, even serious or critical injuries. Furthermore, the user will also gain a rush of energy, removing any fatigue they may be otherwise feeling. __________ KNOT CHARM ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Invokes: "Strength" Weight: 0 This charm is made from a small piece of hemp knotted into a loop. No matter how much you study it, however, you cannot seem to figure out how the knot was tied... it looks like it has been wrapped around, inside and even *through* itself several times. Ironically, despite the knot's complexity, it comes undone easily when pulled. The person undoing the knot charm temporarily gains a rush of strength, allowing them to do more damage with melee attacks and carry more weight. _________________ NEEDLE AND THREAD ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Special: Heals 6 Hit Points Weight: 0 This is a spool of thread and a small bone needle. They look like they're used for stitching up wounds... in living or dead bodies. When used on a creature, it heals 6 hit points of damage. __________________ THRICE-BLIND CHARM ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Invokes: "Blindness" Weight: 0 These three cranium rat tails have been woven into a small charm. Despite the separation from their owners, however, they still twitch occasionally, as if irritated. To use this charm, the caster must select a target within his line of sight, then, while remaining focused on the target, untie the charm. The target's vision will turn black for several minutes, rendering them helpless and reducing their combat ability drastically. ________________ WHISPERING FLASK ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Invokes: "Aid" Special: +2 to Strength Usable only by Githzerai This container holds a peculiar powder called "Whispering Motes" (loose translation of the Gith expression), a form of healing powder commonly used by the githzerai on the Plane of Limbo. When the stopper is pulled and the spice touched on the skin of a wounded person, the spice travels through the injured person's body, generating raw matter to fill up the "holes" in his physical form, no matter how small or large. In order for the spice to work, the user must concentrate on its healing effects... with the proper discipline, a practiced githzerai can even heal the greatest of wounds. In addition to its curative properties, it is also the element in several of their rites of passage... it is believed that the spice also fills in the "holes" in a person's psyche, removing doubts and giving them focus and purpose. ========================================================================================= [02] EDGED WEAPONS ========================================================================================= ___________ BONE DAGGER ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 1-6 Piercing Enchanted: +1 Special: +1 Piercing Damage THAC0: +1 Speed: 2 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests The blade of this dagger seems to be made from the bone of some creature. The edge of this blade is extremely sharp. _______________________________________ DAK'KON'S ZERTH BLADE ("CHAINED BLADE") ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 2-9 Slashing Special: +1 to Armor Class THAC0: +1 Speed: 7 Weight: 5 Proficiency: Edged Usable only by Dak'kon On the githzerai's home plane of Limbo, solid matter is something of a rarity. Limbo itself is a soupy mass of elements, and only through force of will can the githzerai shape these elements into stable matter. A substance called "karach" is a material that can be shaped with the mind. Dak'kon's blade is composed of this substance; through mental discipline alone, Dak'kon maintains the integrity of the blade. He can shape it slightly depending on his skill, adjusting its length, sharpness of the edge. Presumably as he gains levels, he may be able to manipulate the blade in new ways. It is not known whether all githzerai zerth carry such weapons. Certainly a weapon that depends on the integrity of the wielder would be entrusted only to those who have learned to discipline themselves. This blade appears to have special religious significance for Dak'kon. Dak'kon has wound a series of parchments around the hilt of the blade. These appear to be mantras dedicated to Zerthimon. _______________________________________ DAK'KON'S ZERTH BLADE ("CHAINED BLADE") ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 2-9 Slashing Enchanted: +1 Special: +1 to Armor Class Memorize 1 Additional 1st Level Mage Spell THAC0: +1 Speed: 7 Weight: 5 Proficiency: Edged Usable only by Dak'kon On the githzerai's home plane of Limbo, solid matter is something of a rarity.

Found only in the wastelands of Avernus, this peculiar green ore can be tempered into metal much lighter than normal steel. In addition, Green Steel weapons tend to retain their remarkably fine edges and are capable of dealing out more damage than their standard counterparts. _________________ GREEN STEEL KNIFE ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 1-4 Piercing Speed: 1 Weight: 0 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests This razor sharp knife has been forged out of the famed Baatorian Green Steel. Found only in the wastelands of Avernus, this peculiar green ore can be tempered into metal much lighter than normal steel.

It is a one-handed thrusting weapon. __________ IRON SPIKE ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 1-3 Piercing Speed: 2 Weight: 2 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests This is a crude iron spike, covered with rust. If necessary, you could use it as a dagger. ____________ JAGGED KNIFE ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 1-3 Slashing Speed: 2 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests This hooked knife has a thick double-edged blade and a curved wooden handle. Judging from the shape of the blade, it looks like this knife is used primarily as a surgical tool. _____ KNIFE ŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 1-3 Piercing Speed: 2 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests This knife has a four-inch blade, with a plain handle of bone. _____________________ POOR QUALITY STILETTO ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 1-2 Piercing Speed: 2 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests This squat dagger, whil ideally a thrusting weapon, looks like it would be better used as a paperweight. It is not sharp or well-balanced, and might actually hinder you in combat ____________ RUSTY DAGGER ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 1-3 Piercing Special: Fragile, Breakable Speed: 2 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests This is a small rusty dagger. Its blade is chipped and the hilt is loose; it doesn't look like it will stand up to repeated use without breaking. _______ SCALPEL ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 1-3 Piercing Speed: 1 Weight: 0 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests This simple surgical cutting tool looks like it's seen a lot of use. ________________ SMALL STEEL FORK ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 1-2 Piercing Speed: 2 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests This fork is definitely no prize piece of cutlery. Its steel finish is scratched and slightly bent and its tines are crusted with dirt. ___________ STEAK KNIFE ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 1-3 Slashing Special: Fragile, Breakable Speed: 2 Weight: 0 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests This is a common steak knife. You're sure if this dagger could talk, it would have many long-winded stories about cooking and carving large haunches of meat. ________ STILETTO ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 1-3 Piercing Speed: 2 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests This is a short dagger with a slender blade. ========================================================================================= [03] FIST WEAPONS ========================================================================================= _______________________ ENCHANTED PUNCH DAGGERS ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 1-4 Piercing Enchanted: +1 Special: +1 Piercing Damage THAC0: +1 Speed: 2 Weight: 2 Proficiency: Fists Usable only by Fighters and Thieves This weapon is a pair of jagged dagger blades mounted on iron knuckles. The blades have jagged edges to allow them to dish out additional piercing damage when the wearer strikes an opponent. In addition, the blades have been magically enhanced to increase the damage incurred. ____ FIST ŻŻŻŻ (Default Weapon) Damage: 1-3 Crushing Speed: 1 Weight: 0 Proficiency: Fists Your punches are lethal; you CAN kill with repeated blows. As long as you have not filled up all your quick weapon slots, you can always select 'fist' as your current weapon. __________ FIST IRONS ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 2-4 Crushing Speed: 1 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Fists Not usable by Mages This crude iron bar is designed to slip over the fist, with the thick portion resting in the palm and the iron ring facing outwards, over the knuckles. While wearing these fist irons, a single punch can shatter someone's jaw. ______________ INGRESS' TEETH ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 1-6 Crushing Speed: 4 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Fists Usable only by Morte This is a handful of Ingress' living teeth. Apparently, they didn't want to go with her back through the portal to her home plane. They rattle amongst themselves whenever they are held close together; they remind you of a bunch of creepy ivory hopping bugs. ______________ INGRESS' TEETH ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 1-6 Piercing Speed: 4 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Fists Usable only by Morte This is a handful of Ingress' living teeth. Apparently, they didn't want to go with her back through the portal to her home plane. They rattle amongst themselves whenever they are held close together; they remind you of a bunch of creepy ivory hopping bugs. ______________ INGRESS' TEETH ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 1-6 Crushing Enchanted: +1 Special: +1 Crushing Damage THAC0: +1 Speed: 4 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Fists Usable only by Morte This is a handful of Ingress' living teeth. Apparently, they didn't want to go with her back through the portal to her home plane.

Apparently, they didn't want to go with her back through the portal to her home plane. They rattle amongst themselves whenever they are held close together; they remind you of a bunch of creepy ivory hopping bugs. _____________ IRON KNUCKLES ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 1-3 Crushing Speed: 1 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Fists Not usable by Mages Iron knuckles that slip over the fingers, giving your fists the extra "oomph" they need to deliver bone-crushing punches. ____________ MORTE'S BITE ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ (Default Weapon) Damage: 1-3 Piercing Speed: 1 Weight: 0 Proficiency: "Fists" (Don't ask) Morte's bite is lethal, and he CAN masticate someone to death.

The blades have jagged edges to allow them to dish out additional piercing damage when the wearer strikes an opponent. ________________________ PUNCH DAGGERS OF MOORING ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 2-8 Piercing Enchanted: +2 Special: +1 Piercing Damage +2 to Armor Class +1 to Luck THAC0: +1 Speed: 2 Weight: 2 Proficiency: Fists Usable only by Fighters and Thieves These daggers were once wielded by Moorin, the jinxed. Mooring was a hapless young woman who became a thief through a series of disasters. Each of these "accidents" resulted in the death of the trainer for whatever profession she chose. Out of desperation Moorin trained herself an the art of Thievery with laughable results. Moorin's thieving career was filled with numerous mishaps that involved her in combat situations. Each such combat often ended with Moorin being seriously wounded and thrown into prison. When it became obvious that Moorin was not long for this world her father, Arch-mage Xoorcon, created these magical blades for her use. With the luck provided by her new blades, Moorin was actually able to successfully strike an opponent in combat (which came as a shock to her). While her opponent was busy bleeding, Moorin would make good her escape. Unfortunately, during one such escape, Moorin tripped, fell on her dagger and died before she could staunch the bleeding from her wounds. _______________ SPIKED KNUCKLES ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 1-6 Piercing Enchanted: +1 THAC0: +1 Speed: 1 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Fists Not usable by Mages These iron knuckles have been improved upon by the addition of tiny spikes. In addition, a minor enchantment has been placed on them making them lighter and stronger than ordinary iron. __________________ TEETH OF THE VIPER ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 2-7 Piercing Enchanted: +1 Special: Poisons Target Immunity to Poison Speed: 2 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Fists Usable only by Morte These teeth appear to be a set of hollow fangs, much like those of a viper. Although long removed from their original host, the teeth still drip poison from their sharp tips. ========================================================================================= [04] CLUBS ========================================================================================= ____________ BAATEZU MACE ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 3-9 Crushing THAC0: +1 Speed: 6 Weight: 10 Proficiency: Clubs Usable only by Fighters Made from ore found only in the wastelands of Avernus. Baatezu have created a metal called Baatorian Green Steel. Weapons produced from this metal are lighter and stronger than those forged of ordinary steel and tend to inflict greater damage. Although produced in great quantities for the Blood Wars, weapons such as these are rarely found outside of Baator. _______________ CLUB OF NETTLES ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 1-6 Crushing Special: Causes Confusion THAC0: +2 Speed: 3 Weight: 4 Proficiency: Clubs Usable only by Thieves This club seems to be made from some sort of prickly plant. Small thorns adorn the head of the club and can easily be broken off. This particular club is one of the most favored weapons of thieves. Upon making a successful hit on an opponent, tiny barbed thorns lodge into the skin and cause the victim to become disoriented for a brief period of time. This allows the thief time to safely rob and escape the victim. ________________ CORPSE LIMB #985 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 1-6 Crushing Speed: 4 Weight: 3 Proficiency: Clubs Not usable by Mages This arm snapped clean off corpse #985 when it, uh, accidentally toppled. As much as the corpse's knee was rotted clean through, it looks like the combination of thick applications of embalming fluid and rigor mortis has made this arm almost as hard as wood. If you needed to, you could either use it to shake someone's hand from a distance or use it to bash their skull in. ___________ IRON PRYBAR ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 1-6 Crushing Speed: 4 Weight: 3 Proficiency: Clubs Usable only by Fighters and Thieves This iron prybar can be used to pry open doors, chests, and even the occasional reluctant ribcage. It also makes a good bludgeoning weapon when there's no time for subtlety. _____________ LEG BONE CLUB ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 1-6 Crushing Special: Fragile, Breakable Speed: 4 Weight: 2 Proficiency: Clubs Not usable by Mages This leg bone is heavy enough to be used as a club. It's not the height of fashion, but it sure makes a satisfying sound when you strike someone. Although an effective weapon, this leg bone is fragile and has a chance of breaking if used repeatedly. ____ MACE ŻŻŻŻ Damage: 2-8 Crushing Speed: 7 Weight: 12 Proficiency: Clubs Usable only by Fighters This seems to be a standard variety mace. Used properly, this weapon can deliver a crushing blow to an opponent. _________________ POOR QUALITY MACE ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 1-7 Crushing THAC0: -1 Speed: 8 Weight: 13 Proficiency: Clubs Usable only by Fighters This mace seems to be of very poor construction. The balance and weight lend itself to an awkward and almost erratic swing. Most likely this was constructed by an apprentice blacksmith. _________________________ POOR QUALITY SLEDGEHAMMER ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 2-7 Crushing Speed: 8 Weight: 10 Proficiency: Clubs Usable only by Fighters This hammer is little more than a heavy lump of metal on the end of a stout stick. It's powerful, yes, but the balance is poor and it's entirely ungraceful. ___________ SEVERED ARM ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 1-8 Crushing Enchanted: +1 Special: +2 Crushing Damage New Tattoos Speed: 4 Weight: 5 Proficiency: Clubs Usable only by Fighters and Thieves This severed arm is as hard as a wooden club. It looks like it was severed cleanly at the shoulder (most likely by a scythe blade), and eve though it looks many decades old, it is more petrified than rotted. It has an unhealthy gray pallor and is covered with scars. Intricate tattoos decorate its surface, spiraling up from the wrist all the way to the remains of the shoulder. Upon closer inspection, you know for a fact that this arm is yours. How long it has been lying around waiting for you is anyone's guess. You can't explain why, but you feel like you should take this arm to a tattoo artist and have it examined... the tattoos might tell something of what happened to your previous incarnation when this arm was still attached to him. ___________ WOODEN CLUB ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 1-6 Crushing Speed: 4 Weight: 3 Proficiency: Clubs Not usable by Mages This crude wooden club has seen better days, but it still looks sturdy enough to be used as a weapon. ========================================================================================= [05] HAMMERS ========================================================================================= ________________ BRIMSTONE HAMMER ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 2-9 Crushing Enchanted: +1 Special: +4 Fire Damage +25% Resistance to Fire THAC0: +1 Speed: 7 Weight: 5 Proficiency: Hammers Usable only by Fighters This type of weapon, thought to be forged by the flames of the elemental plane of fire, is extremely rare, even in Sigil. The elemental properties of the hammer grants its wielder an increased resistance to fire and fire-based attacks. In addition, when used in combat, the hammer deals out additional damage when it successfully connects, searing its target with crackling flames. ________________ ENCHANTED HAMMER ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 2-9 Crushing Enchanted: +1 THAC0: +1 Speed: 7 Weight: 5 Proficiency: Hammers Usable only by Fighters This hammer bears a wounding enchantment and is much lighter than a normal hammer, allowing it to be swung faster and do more damage in combat. Any history or legends concerning this hammer have been eclipsed by other, more famous weapons in the Encyclopedia Magica. Nonetheless, this sledgehammer carries itself with a quiet dignity. _________________ HAMMER OF QUALITY ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 2-5 Crushing THAC0: +1 Speed: 6 Weight: 6 Proficiency: Hammers Usable only by Fighters This is a finely crafted war hammer. Godsman etchings and symbology decorate the head of the weapon and work their way down the shaft. Despite its heavy appearance, it feels much lighter than it looks. _________________________ HIGH QUALITY SLEDGEHAMMER ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 1-10 Crushing Speed: 8 Weight: 9 Proficiency: Hammers Usable only by Fighters This is a well-crafted hammer, well-balanced and pleasing to the eye. Don't be fooled by its appearance - this weapon is dangerous. It requires two hands and the desire to inflict crushing damage on your enemies. ___________ WORK HAMMER ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 1-6 Crushing Speed: 6 Weight: 6 Proficiency: Hammers Usable only by Fighters This is a heavy work hammer. It has a long handle and a metal head that looks like it could shape steel and crush skulls with ease. ========================================================================================= [06] AXES ========================================================================================= __________ ANTLER AXE ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 2-7 Slashing Speed: 8 Weight: 8 Proficiency: Axes Usable only by Fighters Primitive cultures often times used parts of animals as weapons. This appears to be the horns of some creature that have been made into a crude battle axe of sorts. __________ BATTLE AXE ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 1-8 Slashing Speed: 7 Weight: 7 Proficiency: Axes Usable only by Fighters This huge axe is a double-bladed weapon topped with a spike. The edges are razor-sharp, and the long handle allows the wielder to put considerable force into the swing. _____________________ BATTLE AXE OF QUALITY ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 2-9 Slashing THAC0: +1 Speed: 7 Weight: 8 Proficiency: Axes Usable only by Fighters Intricate runes are etched on the shaft and the blades of this axe. The edges of the axe are razor-sharp; it looks like it would be possible to shave with it, though that's not something that you would try until you had consumed several tankards of ale. The handle itself is made of ironwood, and leather is wrapped tightly around the handle to help secure the user's grip. ________________ CRESCENT HATCHET ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 2-7 Slashing THAC0: -1 Speed: 10 Weight: 10 Proficiency: Axes Usable by Fighters only This huge hatchet has a crescent-shaped head. Although an intimidating weapon, it looks more decorative than functional: not only is it extremely heavy, but the balance is poor and the edge is dull and pitted. Despite the difficulty in using the hatchet in combat, the long handle allows the wielder to put considerable force into the swing. ____________________ ENCHANTED BATTLE AXE ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 2-9 Slashing Enchanted: +1 THAC0: +1 Speed: 6 Weight: 4 Proficiency: Axes Usable only by Fighters Closer examination of the weapon reveals a strange symbol, very faint, on the surface of the axe head. Tracing it with your finger, there is a sudden charge, and the axe head changes before your eyes into a silvery-looking metal. The edge is incredibly sharp, so mush so it looks like it could hack through stone if necessary. The symbol you traced on the weapon is now glowing brilliantly, and if anything, the axe has become even lighter than before, so much so that you can almost wield it one-handed. __________ HOLLOW AXE ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damage: 1-8 Slashing Speed: 3 Weight: 5 Proficiency: Axes Usable only by Fighters This huge axe is a double-bladed weapon topped with a spike. The edges are razor-sharp, and the long handle allows the wielder to put considerable force into the swing. This axe is of a different alloy than normal steel - it's *light* and easy to swing. It causes the same amount of damage as an ordinary axe, but it strikes much more quickly. ========================================================================================= [07] ARMOR ========================================================================================= _____________________ DAK'KON'S ZERTH ARMOR ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Armor Class: 5 Weight: 25 Usable only by Dak'kon Dak'kon's ceremonial zerth armor. It is fashioned of interlocking metal rings, formed of the same substance that Dak'kon's blade is made of. (Unlike the blade, however, it does not appear that the armor changes based on the mental state of the wielder.) The armor is worn over a padded red tunic, and spiked bracers and shoulder pads have been added to give greater protection to the arms and upper body. While Dak'kon's armor is similar to chain mail, it is lighter and more flexible, allowing him to wield his sword more effectively. It seems that when the sword and armor are used in tandem, the armor actually becomes lighter in weight and more flexible, more like cloth than chain mail. Whether this is a unique property of karach, or whether this is some magical effect of the two items, is unknown. _____________ DUSTMAN ROBES ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Special: Disguises user as a Dustman Weight: 5 Usable only in the Mortuary These frayed robes are commonly worn by members of the Dustmen faction. They have an old, musty smell about them, and they don't fit you very well. You doubt the Dustman disguise will hold up under scrutiny -- and certainly not if the Dustmen are looking for an intruder. ========================================================================================= [08] MAGIC SPELLS ========================================================================================= _________________________ FIFTH CIRCLE OF ZERTHIMON ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Allows user to copy "Power of One" into Spell Book Range: Touch Duration: 30 mins per level Speed: 2 Area of Effect: Person touched Saving Throw: None Weight: 1 Usable only by Mages and Nameless One Inscribed upon this circular stone plate is the Fifth Circle of Zerthimon: "Zerhimon was the first to *know* the way of freedom. Yet it was not he that first came to *know* the way of rebellion." "The *knowing* of rebellion came to the warrior-queen Gith, one of the People. She had served the *illithids* upon many of the False Worlds as a soldier, and she had come to *know* war and carried it in her heart. She had come to *know* how others might be organized to subjugate others. She *knew* the paths of power, and she *knew* the art of taking from the conquerors the weapons by which they could be defeated. Her mind was focused, and both her will and her blade were as one." "The turning in which Zerthimon came to *know* Gith, Zerthimon ceased to *know* himself. Her words were as fires lit in the hearts of all who heard her. In hearing her words, he wished to *know* war. He *knew* not what afflicted him, but he *knew* he wished to join his blade to Gith. He wished to give his hate expression and share his pain with the *illithid.*" "Gith was one of the People, but her *knowing* of herself was greater than any Zerthimon had ever encountered. She *knew* the ways of flesh, she *knew* the *illithids* and in *knowing* herself, she was to *know* how to defeat them in battle. The strength of her *knowing* was so great, that all those that walked her path came to *know* themselves." "Gith was but one. Her strength was such that it caused others to *know* their strength. And Zerthimon laid his steel at her feet." __________________________ FOURTH CIRCLE OF ZERTHIMON ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Allows user to copy "Vilquar's Eye" into Spell Book Range: 45 ft. + 15 ft. / level Duration: 30 seconds Speed: 1 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: Neg. Weight: 1 Usable only by Mages and Nameless One Inscribed upon this circular stone plate is the Fourth Circle of Zerthimon: "*Know* that the Rising of the People against the *illithid* was a thing built upon many ten-turnings of labor. Many of the People were gathered and taught in secret the ways of defeating their *illithid* masters. They were taught to shield their minds, and use them as weapons. They were taught the scripture of steel, and most importantly, they were given the *knowing* of freedom." "Some of the People learned the nature of freedom and took it into their hearts. The *knowing* gave them strength. Others feared freedom and kept silent. But there were those that *knew* freedom and *knew* slavery, and it was their choice that the People remained chained. One of these was Vilquar." "Vilquar saw no *freedom* in the Rising, but opportunity. He saw that the *illithid* had spawned across many of the False Worlds. Their Worlds numbered so many that their vision was turned only outwards, to all they did not already touch. Vilquar's eye saw that much took place that the *illithid* did not see. To the Rising, the *illithid* were blinded." "Vilquar came before his master, the *illithid* Zhijitaris, with the *knowing* of the Rising. Vilquar added to his chains and offered to be their eyes against the Rising. In exchange, Vilquar asked that he be rewarded for his service. The *illithid* agreed to his contract." "At the bonding of the contract, a dark time occurred. Many were betrayals Vilquar committed and many were the People that the *illithids* fed upon to stem the Rising. It seemed that the Rising would die before it could occur, and the *illithid* were pleased with Vilquar's eye." "It was near the end of this dark time when Zerthimon came to *know* Vilquar's treacheries. In *knowing* Vilquar's eye, Zerthimon forced the Rising to silence itself, so that Vilquar might think at last his treacheries had succeeded, and the Rising had fallen. He *knew* that Vilquar eye was filled only with the reward he had been promised. He would see what he wished to see." "With greed beating in his heart, Vilquar came upon the *illithid* Zhijitaris and spoke to his master of his success. He said that the Rising had fallen, and the *illithids* were safe to turn their eyes outwards once more. He praised their wisdom in using Vilquar's eye, and he asked them for his reward." "In his greed-blindness, Vilquar had forgotten the *knowing* of why the People had sought freedom. He had lost the *knowing* of what slavery meant. He had forgotten what his *illithid* masters saw when they looked upon him. And so Vilquar's betrayal of the People was ended with another betrayal. Vilquar came to *know* that when Vilquar's eye has nothing left to see, Vilquar's eye is useless." "The *illithid* gave to Vilquar his reward, opening the cavity of his skull and devouring his brain. Vilquar's corpse was cast upon the Fields of Husks so its blood might water the poison-stemmed grasses." ____________________ RECIPE: BLOOD BRIDGE ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Allows user to copy "Blood Bridge" into Spell Book Range: 0 Duration: Instant Speed: 2 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None Weight: 0 Usable only by Mages This tattered card has the recipe for the ingredients and the incantations necessary for the necromantic spell, "Blood Bridge."

And while in the end, many generally agree that a color's greatness is in the eye of the beholder, this spell establishes the fact that some colors are deadlier than others. This summons a large, magical Orb of Color, which can then be hurled at a target using the caster's normal Attack roll +3. The color of the Orb changes depending on the caster's level.

In *knowing* this, Zerthimon became free." "*Know* that the tentacled ones were of flesh. They relied on the flesh and used it as tools for their will. One of the places where flesh served their will were the Fields of Husks on the False Worlds of the *illithids.*" "The Fields were where the bodies of the People were cast after the *illithids* had consumed their brains. When the brain had been devoured, the husks came to be fertilizer to grow the poison-stemmed grasses of the *illithids.* Zerthimon worked the Fields with no *knowing* of himself or what he had become. He was a tool of flesh, and the flesh was content." "It was upon these Fields that Zerthimon came to *know* the scripture of steel. During one of the turnings, as Zerthimon tilled the Fields with his hands, he came across a husk whose brain remained within it. It has not been used as food. Yet it was dead." "The thought that one of the husks had died a death without serving as food for the *illithids* was a thought Zerthimon had difficulty understanding. From that thought, came a desire to *know* what had happened to the husk." "Embedded in the skull of the husk was a steel blade. It had pierced the bone. Zerthimon realized that was what had killed the husk. The steel had marked the flesh, but the flesh had not marked the steel." "Zerthimon took the blade and studied its surface. In it, he saw his reflection. It was in the reflection of the steel that Zerthimon first *knew* himself. Its edge was sharp, its will the wearer's. It was the blade that would come to be raised against Gith when Zerthimon made the Pronouncement of Two Skies." "Zerthimon kept the blade for many turnings, and many were the thoughts he had about it. He used it in the fields to aid his work. In using it, he thought about how it was not used." "The *illithids* were powerful. Zerthimon had believed that there was nothing that they did not *know.* Yet the *illithids* never carried tools of steel. They only used flesh as tools. Everything was done through flesh, for the tentacled ones were made of flesh and they *knew* flesh. Yet steel was superior to flesh. When the blade had killed the husk, it was the flesh that had been weaker than the steel." "It was then that Zerthimon came to *know* that flesh yielded to steel. In *knowing* that, he came to *know* that steel was stronger than the *illithids.*" "Steel became the scripture of the People. *Know* that steel is the scripture by which the people came to *know* freedom." _________________________ THIRD CIRCLE OF ZERTHIMON ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Allows user to copy "Submit the Will" into Spell Book Range: 10 feet Duration: 12 sec. / level Speed: 1 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None Weight: 1 Usable only by Mages and Nameless One Inscribed upon this circular stone plate in the Third Circle of Zerthimon: "Zerthimon labored many turnings for the *illithid* Arlathii Twice-Deceased and his partnership in the cavernous heavens of the False Worlds. His duties would have broken the back of many others, but Zerthimon labored on, suffering torment and exhaustion." "It came to pass that the *illithid* Arlathii Twice-Deceased ordered Zerthimon before him in his many-veined galleria. He claimed that Zerthimon had committed slights of obstinance and cowardice against his partnership. The claim had no weight of truth, for Arlathii only wished to *know* if flames raged within Zerthimon's heart. He wished to *know* if Zerthimon's heart was one of a slave or of a rebel." "Zerthimon surrendered to the *illithid* punishment rather than reveal his new-found strength. He *knew* that were he to show the hatred in his heart, it would serve nothing, and it would harm others that felt as he. He chose to endure the punishment and was placed within the Pillars of Silence so he might suffer for a turning." "Lashed upon the Pillars, Zerthimon moved his mind to a place where pain could not reach, leaving his body behind. He lasted a turning, and when he was brought before Arlathii Twice-Deceased, he gave gratitude for his punishment to the *illithid* as was custom. In so doing, he proved himself a slave in the *illithid* eyes while his heart remained free." "By enduring and quenching the fires of his hatred, he allowed Arlathii Twice-Deceased to think him weak. When the time of the Rising came, Arlathii was the first of the *illithid* to *know* death by Zerthimon's hand and die a third death." ========================================================================================= [09] TATTOOS ========================================================================================= ______________________ THE NUMBER OF KU'U YIN ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Special: Protection from Chaotic creatures Weight: 0 Not usable by Chaotic characters This is a tattoo of a number, an intricate weaving of ink and flesh. It squirms when held, as if it sought out a host. It is the number of Ku'u Yin, a personal identifier that radiates Law. When applied, the tattoo works itself into the skin of its owner, protecting it against the depredations of strongly chaotic creatures. It cannot be used by someone of chaotic alignment. ========================================================================================= [10] JEWELRY & ACCESSORIES ========================================================================================= ______________ AMBER EARRINGS ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Special: +2 to Armor Class Memorize 2 Additional 1st Level Mage Spells Weight: 0 Usable only by Mages Usable only by Nameless One These earrings are made from hardened sap of the razor vine. When properly prepared, items made from this substance can be enchanted with powerful spells of protection. _______________________________ ANCIENT COPPER EARRING (CLOSED) ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 0 Unusable (Closed) This copper earring looks ancient. Oddly enough, there doesn't seem to be a hook or any means of actually attaching it to your ear. A series of strange grooves have been carved on the inside of the earring, however, which might merit a closer examination. _______________________________ ANCIENT COPPER EARRING (HOLLOW) ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 0 This ancient copper earring has a series of grooves cut along the inside. Although there doesn't appear to be an obvious way to wear it, it can be unlocked by hooking your fingernail into the third groove from the top and pressing inwards. Not only does this allow the earring to be worn, but it also opens up a hollow compartment inside the earring where messages or other small items can be stored. The earring might be worth more to a merchant as a result. ______________ ANGLE-LESS EYE ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Special: +1 to Armor Class vs. Missile Attacks -1 to Armor Class vs. Crushing Attacks +10% Detect Traps Skill Bonus THAC0: +1 Weight: 0 At first glance, this glass eye seems a poor replacement for a real one. However, when inserted into an empty eye socket facing inwards, its power awakens. Although the eye dulls the wearer to colors and sights, it increases his awareness of angles and shapes, giving the wearer greater accuracy with weapons and giving him a greater chance of dodging incoming missile attacks. Furthermore, mechanical traps stand out to the wearer's vision, making it easier to spot and disarm them. The user becomes more vulnerable to crushing attacks, however - some of the fragility of the glass eye seems to be transferred to its wearer. _______________ BRONZE BRACELET ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 0 This thick bronze bracelet is heavy, simple, and uninteresting. You could probably sell it to a local merchant for a bit of coin. ___________ BRONZE RING ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 0 This crude bronze ring looks like it might have doubled as someone's nose ring in the past. Despite the dents and scratches, it might be worth a few coins to a local merchant. ______________ COPPER EARRING ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 0 This crude copper circlet looks like it was the victim of an eager lover... or something that enjoys eating metal... for it is bent on one side and bears teeth marks. _________ GLASS EYE ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Special: -1 to Damage with All attacks THAC0: -1 Weight: 0 This glass eye is a poor replacement for a real one. The wearer's depth perception is impaired while this eye is worn. ____________ GOLD EARRING ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 0 This simple gold pendant may have once hung from a nobleman's ear. _________ GOLD RING ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 0 The exterior of this gold ring has a series of engravings on its surface, but you can't make out their significance. Whatever its past purpose, it might be worth quite a few coins to a local merchant. ___________ MAGUS GUARD ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Armor Class: 6 Weight: 2 Usable only by Mages Considered standard equipment for any adventuring mage, bracelets such as these can be found across the planes. Judging by the markings on this particular bracelet it appears to have been made in a style quite common to Sigil. Various glyphs of warding are meticulously carved along the surface producing an almost hypnotic effect when looked at. When worn this bracelet protects the wearer from normal attacks as if they were wearing scale armor. ___________________ MEMPA'S BITING RING ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ (Cursed) Special: +2 to Armor Class Weight: 0 Mempa was a mage obsessed with the possibility of having her magic items lost or burgled while she was asleep or otherwise incapacitated. While the vast majority of her carried possessions were inseparable from her corpse and thus buried with her, some of her weaker items - early experiments, perhaps - were left behind and remain in the world of the living. Mempa's Biting Ring, whose powerful aura protects its bearer from bodily harm, is one such item. However, once placed upon one's finger, the ring bites down and holds on so tenaciously that it is nigh impossible to remove it from the 'bitten' digit. ______________ NEGATIVE TOKEN ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Special: Ward against Shadows Special: Holds Shadow Creatures Temporarily Weight: 0 This is a "negative token": a flat, black disk that appears to have no substance to it at all. Turning it over reveals that it has no third dimension - there is no thickness to this item at all. It gives you some command over creatures of shadow - you can command them to stand still for a few precious seconds. The more powerful the shadow, the less likely it will obey your command. As an added benefit, as long as this token is carried by *any* of your party members, it acts as a ward against shadows. It will not prevent shadows from attacking your group, but the shadows will find it more difficult to harm you while the Token is carried. ________________ OBSIDIAN EARRING ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Special: +10% Stealth Skill Bonus Weight: 0 Usable only by Thieves This small earring is made from polished obsidian. Despite the smoothness of its surface, it reflects no light whatsoever. Commonly referred to as "a rogue's best friend," the black gem this earring is made from possesses magical properties that absorb light, making it easier for its wearer to move undetected in the shadows. ____________________ RING OF THE TRAVELER ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Special: +1 to Armor Class Weight: 0 These rings are quite common across the planes. Simple to make and in great demand, Mages usually create these items as a way to raise quick money. This particular ring has a minor enchantment on it that protects the wearer from harm. _____________________ RULE-OF-THREE EARRING ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Minor Copper Blessing Weight: 0 You received this small earring from folding a note in the mouth of one of the walking corpses in the Mortuary. It's a beautiful earring, but despite its beauty, all it seems to do is remind you how strange this world you've woken up in is. This earring carries a minor blessing from one of the gods of wealth on some backwater prime world; when held in the hand and the word "copper" is whispered, it gives the wearer 33 copper commons. This blessing can be used three times before the enchantment is exhausted. ______________ SILVER EARRING ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 0 This simple silver circlet earring has faint engravings on its surface, but you can't make out the designs. ___________ SILVER RING ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 0 This simple band of silver has no ornamentation; it may have once been a wedding ring. Whatever its past purpose, it may be worth a few coins to a local merchant. _________________________ TARNISHED SILVER BRACELET ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 1 This tarnished silver bracelet has a number of dents and scratches on it. It doesn't look old, but it looks as if it has seen a lot of use. Despite its appearance, it might be worth a few coins to a local merchant. ____________ TWISTED RING ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Special: +1 to Armor Class Weight: 0 This ring looks like three rings that have been wrapped around each other. Just looking at it makes you dizzy. ========================================================================================= [11] MISC ITEMS ========================================================================================= _____________ CLEANING RAGS ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 1 This damp mass of rags look like it's been used to mop up blood and other less savory bodily fluids. ___________ COBBLESTONE ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 3 This is a polished cobblestone that was lodged in the zombie's skull. It still has traces of brain matter dripping from it. ________________ CRANIUM RAT TAIL ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 0 This is a tail from a cranium rat. _______ EYEBALL ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 0 This is your eye. It looks like it's seen better days. ___________ FINGER-BONE ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 0 This is a well-decayed and nearly meatless finger bone from a humanoid of roughly your size. There is still some sort of odd ring on the finger. It is an intricate thing, sculpted with dozens of tiny, ornate flanges and decorative protrusions. Oddly enough, it seems firmly rooted to the finger, and no amount of pulling or prying will budge the thing... almost as if the ring's jagged edges have dug into the lifeless finger itself and refuse to release it. __________ INTESTINES ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 2 This ropy mass of bloody intestines appears to be yours. You have to admit it makes you uncomfortable to see them outside of your body. ____ JUNK ŻŻŻŻ Weight: 1 This is a collection of junk... small springs, broken bolts, and a cracked gear or two. It looks like someone felt these pieces might be useful one day, but they seem pretty useless to you. _____________ LEATHER STRAP ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 1 This is a leather strap used to bind the skeleton worker's bones together. Although the strap is frayed along the edges, it still looks pretty strong. ___________ PET LIM-LIM ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 5 This is your pet Lim-Lim. ____ RAGS ŻŻŻŻ Weight: 1 This thick mass of rags look as if they were torn from a tapestry or someone's robes. ______________ SADISTIC FRAME ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Invokes: "Pain Mirror" Weight: 1 When used, this item causes an attacker to feel the same pain and hurt that he has inflicted upon the user. ____________ SHAMANIC ROD ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Invokes: "Magic Missile" Damage: 2-5 Points of Damage per Missile Range: 180 ft. + (30 ft. / level) Duration: Instant Speed: 1 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None Weight: 1 Usable only by Mages This is the severed foot of some large bird. For whatever reason, someone has enchanted it, making it capable of casting the spell "Magic Missile" for a limited number of times. _____ SKULL ŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 2 This is a generic human skull. It is not as talkative as Morte, but perhaps that's just as well. _______________ TEARS OF SORROW ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Invokes: "Elysium's Tears" Weight: 1 Contained in this bottle are the tears of sorrow that were shed by this persons relatives. All the rage and anguish of this person's senseless death in battle are contained in this smiling bottle. By throwing this bottle at an enemy, their wrath can be unleashed. ________________________________ THE UNBROKEN CIRCLE OF ZERTHIMON ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 2 Usable only by Dak'kon This small round stone is the "Unbroken Circle of Zerthimon." The Unbroken Circle is a *zerth* religious text, containing teachings of Zerthimon, the founder of the githzerai people. The Circle is made up of a series of interlocking circles that fold out from one another, depending on which branch the reader wishes to follow in the path of teachings... it is said that some zerths spend years poring over the combinations of the plates, looking for new significance in the teachings. Dak'kon seems to use the text as a means of focusing his spell casting abilities, for he pores over the tablet occasionally, memorizing the words. _____________ WERERAT SKULL ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 2 This is a wererat skull. Man, are they ugly critters. ========================================================================================= [12] QUEST ITEMS ========================================================================================= ______________________ ANGYAR'S DEAD CONTRACT ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 0 This crisp parchment has a musty smell about it, like it has been stored in an attic for too long. From what you can make out from the tiny, cramped writing, this document seems to be a contract between two parties: The Dustman faction and a man named "Angyar." In exchange for thirty copper pieces, Angyar has signed away the rights to his corpse to the Dustmen, presumably so that they can use him as a worker in the Mortuary. ________________ BATTERED TANKARD ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 3 This battered tankard is covered with dents, and its handle looks ready to fall off. Judging from the size of some of the dents, it looks like it was used to bash in someone's skull. _________________ BLACK-BARBED SEED ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 0 This tiny black seed has a series of small barbs sprouting from its surface. ___________________ BONE-FRAMED JOURNAL ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 2 This appears to be some sort of journal. Sheets of dried human skin have beed stretched across a framework of bone, and strangely enough, it appears the sheets of skin have healed together at the seams, forming the spine of a makeshift book. It looks like the outer sheets of skin form a cover for a series of other skin sheets locked inside the bone frame. A series of symbols have been written in blood across the exterior of the sheets of skin, but you can't make them out; they appear to be some form of writing, but they seem to be written upside down, right to left, and at odd angles that make your eyes hurt. Despite the crudity of the writing, you have to admit the design of the bone frame is actually quite intricate; the bones have been carved so that they snap neatly together. It looks like the bones can be unhooked from each other, allowing the book to be opened and read. ________________ DEAD NATIONS KEY ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 0 This heavy iron key came from Hargrimm the Bleak, Skeleton Priest of the Dead Nations. _______________ DUSTMAN REQUEST ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 0 A note written on a scrap of dry parchment: "Contact the necromancer responsible for Raising contractual worker 42. I know he's examined the skeleton before, but I am certain the initial Raising of the body was warped. The worker still responds to commands, but when it has completed a task, it resumes pacing in the same circular pattern as it did before. "Dhall recently informed me that worker 42 exhibited that same walking pattern when it was a zombie decades ago. There may be a soul echo in the marrow or the skeleton's age may have caused the magic animating him to decay. One of the Initiates suggested it may be following an order issued by a higher-ranking Dustman in the past, but I have found no records of such an order. "Whatever the reason for its behavior, the matter is to be resolved or the worker replaced." _____________ EMBALMING KEY ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 0 This long, thin key has a spiral head and smells faintly of embalming fluid. It looks extremely old, and numerous scratches cover its surface. __________________ INK-FILLED TANKARD ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 4 This battered tankard is covered with dents, and its handle looks ready to fall off. Judging from the size of some of the dents, it looks like it was used to bash in someone's skull. This tankard is currently holding a mass of ink from a *brogota-fin* fish. Hopefully, this is the last damn thing Mebbeth needs from the marketplace. ______________ MEBBETH'S WASH ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 15 This is a flattened mass of green rags, thin as paper, yet so stiff they look like they could double as wooden boards. The rags are so caked with a greenish-lime starch that they look like it would take years of soaking to relax them. Perhaps Mebbeth can find a way to salvage them, but you think that would be beyond anyone's abilities. ______________ MORIDOR'S RUBY ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 0 This is a fairly large ruby recovered from Moridor's Box. Gems of this quality are valued by practitioners of the 'art' as a component for various spells. _______________________ MORTUARY FRONT GATE KEY ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 0 This is a large, unimaginative iron key. For some reason, its somber appearance reminds you of the Mortuary. _________________________ MORTUARY REMINDER MESSAGE ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 0 This rolled up piece of parchment appears to be some sort of message the skeleton in the Mortuary was supposed to deliver: "This is the third and *last* request for the prybar; if it has been misplaced, *tell* me and I shall go to the Hive market and purchase another. I have no objection to mantaining the Contracted workers, but I've been trying to repair the skeletons, and the bolts are wedged in so tight I can't get them out. "Also, some of the locks on the storage cabinets on the third floor have become stuck again due to the heat, and I need the prybar to snap them open as well. If the prybar is indeed lost, I will see about procuring the services of a locksmith and having the cabinet locks replaced. "Your aid in the matter would be appreciated, An unreadable signature has been scrawled beneath the message. ____________________ MORTUARY SANCTUM KEY ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 1 This heavy key is a strange fusion of bone and an unidentifiable lood-red metal. Its jagged C-shaped head looks like its ready to clamp down on whoever holds it. This key is used to open the inner gates in the Mortuary. __________________ MORTUARY TASK LIST ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 0 Someone has penned a series of tasks in red ink on this scrap of parchment: - I would like the Contracted Workers to be inspected thrice-daily, at the end of each work shift when the new Initiates come on duty. We have experienced too many Contracted collapses while engaged in heavy labor as of late, and I fear the embalming enchantments initially used on the corpses may be decaying or may have been warped somehow. - If the Contracted workers could be inspected every eight hours and Raised if they have collapsed, then this would prevent the backlog of shells in the Preparation Rooms and free up more Contracted workers for other duties. - I do not wish collapsed bodies to be disposed of; when possible, the original Contracted shells are to be Raised and be made to resume their duties. - I have included spare embalming charms within the shelves for the Initiates on duty. They are to be used only when the shells cannot be repaired with stitching, bandaging, or applications of embalming fluid. ______________________ NOTE FROM CORPSE #1201 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 0 This is a foul-smelling note retrieved from the mouth of one of the Mortuary zombies; it looks like it was sewn into the corpse's mouth by accident. Dspite its condition, the writing is legible: "Please, to whatever Dustman reads this; I beg of you. I know of my legal obligation under the terms of the Dead Contract, but I am prepared to offer *more* than my signing fee if you will cremate my body rather than Raising it. I have arranged for this note to be left with my body upon my death. If you are reading this, then please use this note as instructed and accept the result in exchange for my Contracted duty. Let my Contract number serve as the key." It looks like the corpse was too late to prevent the Raising... but you notice that beneath the writing is a diagram. It looks like directions for folding the parchment into a strange pattern. __________ ORNATE BOX ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 2 This appears to be a small wooden box. Intricate designs etched in gold adorn the box. At one time this box would have been worthy enough to be displayed at any aristocrat's estate. However, years of neglect have taken their toll and it appears to be falling apart. If not for the large ruby mounted to the front of the box, it would be worthless. Feelings of dread seem to emanate from the box. ___________ PENN'S NOTE ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 0 This note has been written with remarkable penmanship upon the finest parchment: Vaxis, If you are reading this, then you have undoubtedly failed in your task and have been forced to use the escape route I arranged. I told you that your little disguise idea was ridiculous. In any case, you'll need to lay low for a while. The Dustmen may be deluded, but they are not fools, and they will certainly seek retribution for our intrusion. I've left you some coins. Use them to secure a hiding place in the Hive, preferably in Ragpicker's Square. The Dustmen will be unwilling to look for you there. Once you have secured a new hiding place, I have a new mission for you: find out where Pharod is getting those bodies he's delivering to the Mortuary. It's apparently causing the Dustmen a great deal of upset, and I wouldn't mind knowing myself. Reports are that that stone-faced Dustman at the Gathering Dust Bar -- Initiate Emoric, I think the fool's name is -- has been sending out finders to try and mark Pharod's movements. See if you can find out how far along he is and hinder his efforts until we know more about Pharod's activities. I don't want Emoric finding out something before we do. - Penn ____________ PRAYER BEADS ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 1 This is a necklace of red and black prayer beads. A web of black lines swirls around the edges of the prayer beads as you hold them, moving in some strange pattern you cannot decipher. ____________________ PREPARATION ROOM KEY ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 0 The head of this bronze key has been twisted around itself several times, so that it resembles a screw. If Morte is to be believed, it unlocks one of the doors in the Preparation Room. __________________ RECEIVING LOG PAGE ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 0 This ragged page looks like it was cut neatly out of a book. It is written in a tight, crabbed script: 16537, 5th Night: Drunk -- Chest Wound -- Cause of Death: Mauling/Abishai? -- Collector: Pox -- 3 Commons Paid -- No possessions. 16538, 5th Night: Desiccated Corpse -- Cause of Death: Indeterminable - Age of Shell prevents identification* -- Collector: Pharod -- 3 Commons Paid -- No possessions (Stripped? Knife marks evident from dissection.) 16539, 5th Night: Scarred Shell -- Cause of Death: Indeterminable (scars do not appear to be cause of death - shock trauma?) -- Collector: Pharod -- 3 Commons Paid -- Possessions Logged: - Fist Irons - Thirteen Commons - Middle Table, Receiving Room. 16540, 5th Night: Desiccated Corpse #2 -- Cause of Death: Indeterminable - Age of Shell prevents identification* -- Collector: Pharod -- 3 Commons Paid -- Possessions Logged: Knife marks evident from dissection, but the dissection was not thorough enough - Copper earring found lodged in abdomen; earring has been locked in Southeast Preparation Room. Have an Initiate from the Third Circle examine it; it has strange markings, like those on Contracted Worker #79. 16541, 5th Night: Skeleton -- Cause of Death: Indeterminable - Age of Shell prevents identification* -- Collector: Pharod -- 3 Commons Paid -- No possessions (Stripped? Knife marks evident from dissection.) * As with the previous entries, these shells Pharod has brought also shows signs of having been prepared. I have asked that Initiate Emoric launch an investigation into the matter. Furthermore, Entry 16542 is one of Pharod's gang. I have seen the individual before - I would ask Emoric to pay heed to how the man died. 16542, 5th Night: Tiefling, Male -- Cause of Death: Slash marks/discoloration of wounds are consistent with grave rot (ghoul claws?) -- Collector: Pharod -- 3 Commons Paid -- No possessions (Stripped? Knife marks evident from dissection.) _______________________ RECEIVING ROOM LOG BOOK ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 2 This huge log book lists Mortuary procedures in a tight, crabbed script: - All shells entering the Mortuary are to be delivered to the Receiving Room and logged with the scribe on duty before being embalmed or cremated. - The records are to be checked to determine if the shell is one of the Contracted, and if so, do not prepare the shell. Move the shell to one of the Preparation Rooms, contact the scribe on duty, and notify him that a Contracted shell is to be Raised. - Be certain that a shell is thoroughly stripped of its possessions before being sent to the Preparation Rooms. The Contracted workers are intended for simple manual labor and do not have the capacity to search and strip a shell. - The faction is not responsible for any possessions lost or items stolen by Collectors who have brought the shells to the Mortuary. - The shell's possessions are to be stored in the Receiving Room until an Initiate can be sent to claim them. Please catalogue all possessions in the log book. Following this list is thousands of entries of bodies that have been sent to the Receiving Room. As you flip through the rest of the book, however, you notice the last page has been cut out. _____________ SOEGO'S SKULL ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 2 This skull used to be attached to Soego's body before his unfortunate... "accident." _______________ STRAHAN'S DIARY ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 1 This leather-bound tome is cracked and worn with age. Some sort of crest has been burned into the cover. You can make out a series of interlocking triangles centered around the initials SR. The writing upon its pages has faded considerably, but the last few entries seem to have been penned recently. Day 2 of the 127th Year of Factor Hashkar's reign: At last, I have found it! The missing page of the Ap'Tarj Grimoire is now in my possession. As I had guessed, the page detailed the necessary components for the casting of the final transformation spell. I have all but one of the components. A drop of an immortal's blood is all that stands between me and the eternal power of lichdom. But where can I find such a rarity? Perhaps I should seek the answer through divination. Day 14 of the 127th Year of Factor Hashkar's reign: After days of taxing divination spells, I finally have my answers. The divination revealed the location of an immortal to be somewhere within an ancient Mausoleum located in the Hive section of Sigil. I must make haste. I must find this creature and draw its blood before it moves on. Day 15 of the 127th Year of Factor Hashkar's reign: I have arrived at the Mausoleum. Immediately, I was set upon by a shade that guards the remains of those interred within this place. I managed to elude the spirit and found my way into what appears to have been some sort of inner sanctum. Protected by some minor wards to prevent any further interruptions by that supernatural twit, I have set about raising some of the locals to conduct a search for the immortal. If the divination was accurate and the immortal is here, then likely it is interred within one of the many crypts that line these halls. It is only a matter of time now. Day 17 of the 127th Year of Factor Hashkar's reign: I am not alone. Someone has entered the Mausoleum and is interfering with my servants. Could this be the one I seek? The divination revealed only that I would find the immortal here. Could it be that MY presence in this place has prompted that which I seek to seek ME out? What a delightful twist, I shall have to The ink of this last entry is still wet. ____________________ TOME OF BONE AND ASH ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Weight: 5 This worn, leather-bound tome lists diagrams and charts detailing several minor wards and enchantments. There are numerous drawings of skeletons, bones, and the manner by which they may be preserved over time. Of particular interest is the section regarding "guardians." Apparently, the Dustmen animate corpses of fallen giants to serve as guardians for the Mortuary. To make them even deadlier, armoring enchantments are woven into their breastplates to help shield them from attacks. The book is much too complex for you to absorb all at once, but it looks as if you could refer to certain sections when the need arises. TOTAL ITEM COUNT: 167
