Armors
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANNAH'S VEST
Armor Class: 8
Weight: 10
Usable only by Annah
Annah's vest is similar to leather armor, but it seems more flexible and allows
her greater freedom of movement. You're not certain what creature's hide (if
any) was used to make the vest, but it seems durable enough. Three straps help
secure the front, and a staggered series of bracers run down the left arm. If
necessary, Annah can slip her punch daggers into the bracers to conceal them.
BODICE OF THE GODLESS PRIESTESS
Armor Class: 5
Special:
Memorize 3 Additional 1st Level Priest Spells
Memorize 2 Additional 2nd level Priest Spells
Weight: 5
Usable only by Fall-From-Grace
This is a bodice much like the one Fall-From-Grace, Madame of the Brothel of
Slating Intellectual Lusts, often wears. The enchantments woven into it by
Goncalves allow Fall-From-Grace to memorize twice the number of 1st and 2nd
level spells per day as she normally could.
BODICE OF THE PERILOUS QUEST
Armor class: 5
Special: Increases Regeneration
Weight: 6
Usable only by Fall-From-Grace
This is a bodice much like the one Fall-From-Grace, Madame of the Brothel of
Slating Intellectual Lusts, often wears. Goncalves took great care in enchanting
the weave of this particular piece of clothing; not only does it clean itself
and repair minor tears in its fabric, its magic will slowly heal
Fall-From-Grace, as well.
DAK'KON'S ZERTH ARMOR
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.
FALL-FROM-GRACE'S CHASTITY BODICE
Armor Class: 5
Weight: 5
Usable only by Fall-From-Grace
Fall-from-Grace's bodice is made from the tanned hide of some creature. Despite
its prim and proper appearance, it does little to detract from Grace's
sensuality. The bodice possesses no known powers other than some minor
enchantments that prevent it from becoming dirty and repairs minor tears in the
fabric.
JERKIN OF THE BRAZEN ROGUE
Armor Class: 4
THAC0: +1
Weight: 12
Usable only by Annah
This piece of sturdy leather armor was clearly fashioned for a woman. It is a
piece of remarkably skillful craftsmanship; small metal plates and bands are
carefully concealed here and there over the jerkin's surface, providing a great
deal of protection without hampering mobility. The armor seems best suited for a
'flashy' fighter who would make the full use of the free movement it would
afford them. The enchantments woven into it by Goncalves not only serve to
protect such a combatant, but aid them in their balance and the striking of
their foes, as well.
JERKIN OF THE FLITTING SHADOW
Armor Class: 6
Special:
+15% Pick Pocket Skill Bonus
+25% Stealth Skill Bonus
Weight: 8
Usable only by Annah
This piece of light leather armor was clearly fashioned for a woman. Even at a
glance one can tell it is of the highest quality; every part of it, from its
supple leather banding to its quadruple-stitched seams and padded silk lining,
speaks of impeccable craftsmanship. Goncalves wove a number of enchantments into
the lining of the jerkin so that its wearer is more prone to blend into
surrounding shadows, making them difficult to spot and often allowing them to
pass by others entirely unnoticed.
LOWER PLANES VERMIN ARMOR
Armor Class: 5
Weight: 10
Usable only by Annah
This armor has been woven from the hides of various Abyssal vermin. The
stitching thread appears to be a single white hair (though the type of creature
is unknown). There are no metal fixtures, studs, or buckles anywhere on the
armor... it is composed solely from the remains of living creatures.
VHAILOR'S MERCYKILLER ARMOR
Armor Class: 2
Weight: 75
Usable only by Vhailor
This archaic suit of armor is animated by Vhailor's life force. It bears
numerous minor dents and scratches, but otherwise, it seems to have withstood
the test of time...at least better than Vhailor's physical body.
Blades decorate the shoulders of this suit of armor, and the symbol of the
Mercykiller faction (a red dragon with its wings outspread) is emblazoned on the
chest piece.
This suit of armor is part of Vhailor... destroying Vhailor (if such a thing
were possible) would most likely result in the destruction of the armor.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Axes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANTLER AXE
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.
"ASCENSION"
Damage: 3-10 Slashing
Enchanted: +2
Special:
+2 Slashing Damage
+1 to Charisma
+1 to Armor Class
THAC0: +2
Speed: 4
Weight: 4
Proficiency: Axes
Usable only by Fighters
Usable only by Godsmen
"Ascension" is one of the finest weapons created at the Great Foundry, the home
of the Believers of the Source. It is one of three weapons called the "Triad of
Tests", including the hammer "Reason" and the dagger "Enlightenment". The symbol
of the faction is engraved on the axe head, and the edges of the blades are so
sharp they could split a hair lengthwise. You are the first to bear this weapon.
"AXE OF CELESTIAL FIRE"
Damage: 3-18 Slashing
Enchanted: +3
Special:
+2 to Armor Class
+10 Fire Damage
+10% Resistance to Slashing Attacks
THAC0: +2
Speed: 3
Weight: 5
Proficiency: Axes
Usable only by Fighters
Usable only by Lawful Good characters
"Celestial Fire" is the only object that Trias had left to remind him of the
Upper Planes. The blade became an axe in your hands. It is warm to the touch,
and flames have been carved across the surface of the head. The intricacy of the
carvings is breathtaking; they are done with such skill that the axe seems to be
burning with metallic flames...someone must have spent several centuries
rendering them. The metal of the axe is unfamiliar... it is heavy, but it shines
like silver.
The axe looks several millennia old. A faint hum can be felt within it, and the
vibration becomes stronger when it touches human flesh. Not surprisingly,
"Celestial Fire" can be wielded only by those with sufficient strength and
purity of heart. When used in combat, "Celestial Fire" bursts into a holy
radiance that burns any evil creature it strikes in combat.
AXE OF THE JESTER
Damage: 1-2 Slashing
Enchanted: ??? [+3]
Special: ???
THAC0: ??? [+3]
Speed: 3
Weight: 2
Proficiency: Axes
Usably only by Fighters
The person who created this axe must have been mad or a genius. Only the most
skilled of smiths could have forged a weapon using Chaos Matter, the most
unstable and unpredictable element in all the planes.
Stories of this particular axe have been told and retold across the planar
universe. Heroic deeds of men defeating creatures of immense power simply by
touching the axe to the creature and of these same men dying horrible deaths
while doing simple every day tasks.
Zaknar the Simple - Defeated a devourer with a single swipe of this axe. Crushed
to death by a falling boulder in the vast plains of Tabor.
Garkon the Righteous - Struck by a mysterious discharge of energy while fighting
a cranium rat.
Kannas - Tradesman by profession. Buried alive as the stone wall the axe was
mounted on collapsed on him.
Kvry Matterson - A child of only nine seasons, was not only able to ward off a
group of marauding fire bats, he even managed to kill 2 of them!
The list of tragedies and deeds goes on and on.
BATTLE AXE
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
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.
BLINDSIDER
Damage: 2-9 Slashing
Enchanted: +1
Special:
+2 to Armor Class
Immunity to Blindness
THAC0: +1
Speed: 6
Weight: 4
Proficiency: Axes
Usable only by Fighters
This magnificent axe, known as "Blindsider," is truly one of a kind. It is
rumored that it was the creation of one Akyzum Yar, chief metallurgist of an
ancient empire on the Prime Material Plane. The Emperor whom Yar served, a vain
and wicked man, commissioned the creation of "a weapon of unsurpassed beauty."
After years of toiling, Yar succeeded and presented the Emperor with
"Blindsider," whereupon he was promptly put to death so that his work could
never be reproduced.
The various ores and enchantments employed in the forging of this weapon yielded
a new type of metal that is lightweight, durable, and highly reflective. The axe
earned its name from its tendency to reflect light into the eyes of its
opponent, temporarily blinding the target so that its wielder can easily cut him
down. Additionally, its wielder is granted immunity to blinding attacks as a
magical byproduct of its reflective nature.
BUTCHERER OF INNOCENTS
Damage: 3-10 Slashing
Enchanted: +2
Special:
Transfers Hit Points from Target to Wielder
+2 Slashing Damage
THAC0: +2
Speed: 6
Weight: 4
Proficiency: Axes
Usable only by Fighters
Not usable by Good characters
This giant, axe-like cleaver earned its nickname while in the hands of Oswell
Breck, a butcher who once serviced the Clerk's Ward of Sigil. The chant is that
one day this affable and well-respected citizen suddenly went on a murderous and
bloody rampage that lasted ten days and ten nights. Cleaver in hand, Oswell
stalked the streets of the ward, brutally hacking down every man, woman, and
child unlucky enough to cross his path until the Lady herself intervened. It is
rumored that he suffered from a strange disease that slowly caused his body to
waste away, and it was this disease that eroded his sanity and prompted the
murder spree.
The origin of this instrument of carnage is shrouded in mystery. However, the
various wizards and scholars who examined the discarded weapon after Oswell's
mazing have catalogued the nature of its enchantment. The cleaver seems to feed
upon its victims, sucking the very life force from them and bestowing a portion
of it upon its wielder.
CRESCENT HATCHET
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.
EDGE OF OBLIVION
Damage: 2-9 Slashing
Enchanted: +2
Special:
1-6 Cold Damage to target
+50% Resistance to Cold
+25% Resistance to Magical Cold
THAC0: +1
Speed: 8
Weight: 10
Proficiency: Axes
Usable only by Fighters
Not usable by Good characters
When its powers are awakened and its name known, "Edge of Oblivion" becomes
entirely black...where once just the edges were ebony, now the blackness has
spread across the entire blade. The chill the blade radiates has increased
ten-fold, so much so that it is painful to hold it for too long.
"Edge of Oblivion" does disintegration damage every time it strikes an
opponent...for every wound it causes, it also disintegrates the flesh around the
target area, simultaneously cauterizing the wound as it strikes.
There is some speculation that a Sphere of Annihilation has somehow been encaged
within the axe itself, but again this is only speculation. Given that the planes
are infinite, anything is possible.
ENCHANTED BATTLE AXE
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 much 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.
ENTROPIC BLADE
Damage: 3-23 Slashing
Enchanted: +2
THAC0: +2
Speed: 7
Weight: 7
Proficiency: Axes
Usable only by Fighters
This strange item was in your possession after you gave the Modron Cube to the
iron golem in the Siege Tower. It looks to be a small dagger, but its surface
twists and bends as you watch, as if struggling to break free from its shape.
It looks to be made of iron, silver, and any of a number of different metals.
Sometimes they blend together, other times, they submerge into the core of the
blade, only to resurface again minutes later.
FINAL JUDGMENT
(Cursed)
Damage: 5-15 Slashing
Enchanted: +2
Special: 1-6 Fire Damage to target
THAC0: +3
Speed: 10
Weight: 20
Proficiency: Axes
Usable only by Vhailor
Usable only by Lawful characters
This archaic double-bladed battle-axe is reminiscent of an executioner's axe;
the axe head has been forged into the symbol of the Mercykiller Faction (a red
dragon with its wings outspread...the outstretched wings have been shaped into
the blades of the axe). The axe itself is huge; even wielded two-handed, it
would require tremendous strength to use effectively. For a spectral entity,
Vhailor must be extremely strong.
This axe is as much a part of Vhailor as his armor, and the axe itself carries
part of Vhailor's essence within it. As a result, it is utterly devoted to
justice and will not allow the user to rest while "judgments" are left to be
delivered. The considerable damage it causes to an opponent is doubled if the
axe strikes a guilty or chaotic creature. Furthermore, the axe itself lends
some of its strength to the wielder, giving him added protection from attacks.
The origin of this axe is unknown. If you were to hazard a guess, the axe gained
its powers simply from Vhailor's belief. If he were to die a second death, you
don't know what would happen to it.
HATRED'S GIFT
[Cursed]
Damage: 3-13 Slashing
Enchanted: +1
Special: Berserk when used
THAC0: +1
Speed: 7
Weight: 7
Proficiency: Axes
Usable only by Fighters
Not usable by Good characters
It is not exactly clear in the annals of known planar history when "Hatred's
Gift" was created, but by the bloody trail it has left across the planes seems
to have finally reached you.
The axe exists to inspire hatred in one's enemies and fill its wielder with a
berserker rage. When entering combat, the skulls along the shaft come alive,
chittering their teeth, and the teeth (remnants of fiendish victims absorbed
into the axe blade) extend outwards, biting and tearing into opponents with each
strike.
Once equipped, "Hatred's Gift" cannot be dropped unless its curse is removed.
HEARTGRINDER
Damage: 3-10 Slashing
Enchanted: +3
Special: 1-6 Electrical Damage
THAC0: +2
Speed: 6
Weight: 4
Proficiency: Axes
Usable only by Fighters
A single teardrop of the wielder's blood, applied at the border where the axe
meets the handle, is sufficient to awaken "Heartgrinder." Once applied, the drop
of blood freckles across the blade and handle, giving it a dull red radiance.
The glow from Heartgrinder pulses, matching the heartbeat of its wielder.
No matter what the target, Heartgrinder is a powerful weapon, capable of tearing
through nearly any defenses. Against targets with blood running in their veins
(whether their own or another's -- vampires beware), Heartgrinder inflicts
additional damage, as every stroke also smashes the target's heart, no matter
what location the axe struck.
HOLLOW AXE
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.

BLADE OF THE IMMORTAL
(Unique, Artifact)
Damage: 2-3 Piercing
Enchanted: +1
THAC0: +1
Speed: 1
Weight: 0
Proficiency: Edged
Not usable by Priests
This is the strange blade that the iron golem forged using a drop of your blood.
It is an ugly looking weapon, shaped so it resembles one of the symbols on your
left arm. Black veins worm their way across the surface of the metal, and the
edge looks so dull that it couldn't even cut warm butter. It pulses slightly as
you hold it, like a heart. The golem claimed this "blade" could slay even you -
provided it was used in a place that was cut off from the rest of the Planes.
"CELESTIAL FIRE"
Damage: 3-18 Slashing
Enchanted: +2
Special:
+2 to Armor Class
+10 Fire Damage
+10% Resistance to Slashing Attacks
THAC0: +2

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. When the spirit and discipline of
the user begin to falter, the blade itself will react, mirroring the wielder's
thoughts.
Dak'kon must be suffering indeed, for his karach blade has become a dead flat
black, mirroring Dak'kon's eyes. It has become longer, sharper, and a series of
subtle jags, like teeth, now line the edge of the blade.
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 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 had learned to discipline themselves.

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 had 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.

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.

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 it 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.

Usable only by Lawful Good characters
"Celestial Fire" was the only object that Trias had left to remind him of the
Upper Planes. The blade became a club in your hands. It is warm to the touch,
and flames have been carved all along the length of the weapon. The intricacy of
the carvings is breathtaking; they are done with such skill that the club seems
to be burning with metallic flames...someone must have spent several centuries
rendering them. The metal of the hammer is unfamiliar... it is heavy, but it
shines like silver.
The club looks several millennia old. A faint hum can be felt within it, and the
vibration becomes stronger when it touches human flesh. Not surprisingly,
"Celestial Fire" can be wielded only by those with sufficient strength and
purity of heart. When used in combat, "Celestial Fire" bursts into a holy
radiance that burns any evil creature it strikes in combat.

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 more 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.

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.

THAC0: +2
Speed: 4
Weight: 4
Proficiency: Clubs
Usable only by Fighters
This weapon has a black metal handle that seems to have grown into the narrow
skull that is affixed to its top. The metal looks as if it has grown out from
the skull, and spikes pierce through the eye sockets, jaw and from the skull cap
itself.
The "metal" is not metal at all, but the remnants of a creature's forearm that
punched through the base of the fiendish skull that now bedecks the head of this
weapon. The spikes that have pierced through the skull actually appear to be
some sort of quills from the creature's forearm.
When this weapon is used in combat and the spikes of the club penetrate a
creature's skin, acid oozes from the quills into the target, doing additional
damage. This acid also burns the hands of the user, doing some damage to the
wielder every time he strikes someone else.
The common name of this weapon is "Devil's Due." To who or what event it refers
to is unknown, but it was obviously a painful experience for the two parties
involved.

This hammer bears a wounding enchantment and is much lighter than a normal

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.

This strange item was in your possession after you gave the Modron Cube to the
iron golem in the Siege Tower. It looks to be a small dagger, but its surface
twists and bends as you watch, as if struggling to break free from its shape.
It looks to be made of iron, silver, and any of a number of different metals.
Sometimes they blend together, other times, they submerge into the core of the
blade, only to resurface again minutes later.

This tanar'ri femur carries the last traces of a balor's essence within its
marrow. Disgraced in battle and torn apart by its fellow fiends in an ceremonial
execution, the bone has since carried with it a vengeful spite towards all of
its kind.
When the femur strikes any tanar'ri or baatezu, serrated teeth bristle up and
down the length of the bone and cause tremendous damage to any tanar'ri or
baatezu.
FOOLSMITER
Damage: 4-14 Crushing
Enchanted: +2
THAC0: +2
Speed: 10
Weight: 15
Proficiency: Hammers
Usable only by Fighters
This war hammer has a huge stone head in the shape of a rectangular block. Faint
traces of gore and blood are on all sides of the hammer's head. The shaft is of
a thick wood that looks too weak to support the hammer head's weight.
This enchanted hammer was used as a tool by the Athar at one time during their
religious persecution phase of their faction history. The magical war-hammer
"Foolsmiter" was constructed so that it did additional damage against opponents
who were particularly stupid. When it was crafted, however, the enchantment was
twisted such that if the user was less intelligent than the target struck by the
hammer, the wielder would take damage as well. For many years, the hammer became
a test rite between rival members of the Athar as a primitive (and lethal) IQ
test. It was stolen from their headquarters in the Shattered Temple many years
ago and has resurfaced once or twice across the Planes.
It is believed that the Intelligence vs. Intelligence contest the hammer once
inflicted on the wielder and his enemies has dissipated from the hammer over
time, but no one has been been confident enough to put it to the test.

Enchanted: +1
Special: 1-6 Acid Damage
THAC0: +2
Speed: 10
Weight: 10
Proficiency: Hammers
Usable only by Fighters
Research reveals that this is a formidable weapon indeed. Far superior to a
normal sledgehammer, this war hammer (also called "The Hammer of Comminution")
delivers a devastating strike that not only inflicts crushing damage, but also
fractures any surface it contacts, whether bone, metal, or wood, inflicting
extra damage...and if the victim survives, it also "softens" him up for the next
attack.
The Hammer of Comminution was used extensively by Enote, a Doomguard priest, in
14 E.U. A philosopher who was prone to violent mood swings while debating
theology, he was known to espouse the virtues of the hammer as a means of
furthering the decay of dead matter. Whether or not what he struck with the
hammer was dead or alive before the blow is open to debate.

A fearsome aura of power emanates from this massive weapon. Sharp, powerful

the perfectly-shaped sphere, yielding an image that is at once both arresting,

This iron prybar can be used to pry open doors, chests, and even the occasional

for subtlety.
NOTE: To use the prybar to force a locked door or chest, select it as a weapon
then "attack" the container or door you wish to pry open. Although the prybar is
specifically intended for such use, you can attempt to bash open a container or
door with *any* weapon, including your fists.
LEG BONE CLUB

This leg bone is heavy enough to be used as a club. It's not the height of

Although an effective weapon, this leg bone is fragile and has a chance of
breaking if used repeatedly.

Enchanted: +1
THAC0: +1

Proficiency: Clubs
Not usable by Mages
This rickety wooden staff has a crosspiece nailed across the top. The crosspiece
is wrapped in rags, presumably to keep the damn thing from jamming too sharply
into Pharod's armpit when he leans on it. The crutch, not surprisingly, smells
terrible, and every inch of it is covered in dirt, sewage and various
unidentifiable stains.
Something about this crutch makes you wonder - despite its fragile appearance,
it has held up rather well; you even test it with your weight and it holds you
up without so much as creaking. Considering Pharod's scavenging nature, the
crutch may have had some value beyond its surface appearance for him. It might
even be usable as a weapon.
POOR QUALITY MACE

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 even 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.

Primarily intended for heavy work, this huge hammer would make a formidable

leather handgrip with a thong to prevent losing it in the heat of battle. Where
it differs is in the Eye etched in acid on the head of the weapon, a stylized
sigil of the god Horus.
This weapon is The Justifier, a mace created in the city of Heliopolis on the

ACIDIC SPONGE BOLTS
Damage: 1-2 Crushing
Special: 6 Acid Damage on Impact
Speed: 10
Weight: 0
Proficiency: Missiles
The putty-like globes on the heads of these crossbow bolts are actually dried-up
aquatic sponges found in many of the great lakes of Bytopia. Seemingly
unremarkable to most scholars, these tiny sponges were accidentally discovered
to have the property of being able to absorb acids and store them in their
bodies with no harm to themselves.
As a result, great masses of these creatures were gathered and bred for use as
weapons against fiends in the Blood War. After being fed a steady diet of acid
for a few days, the sponges are harvested, dried, and covered with a resin that
keeps a soft bubble around the sponge. The sponge is then mounted on the head of
an arrow or crossbow bolt and is ready for use.
When the tip of the bolt strikes a creature with sufficient force, the resin
bubble bursts, the sponge flattens, and the target is doused with acid.
BOLTS OF ACHERON
Damage: 2-5 Crushing
Enchanted: +1
Special: Causes Stunning
THAC0: +1
Speed: 10
Weight: 0
Proficiency: Missiles
These enchanted bolts have been fashioned from one of the great cubes of
Acheron. According to many planar scholars, Acheron is a plane in perpetual war
with itself, where huge cubes the size of continents float through the ether and
smash against each other. On the surface of these cubes, legions of soldiers
wage war on each other, swarming from cube to cube and attacking whoever else
they can find. The plane is filled with the ringing of steel and the great
thundering impacts of the cubes striking each other.
These bolts carry a portion of Acheron's heart within them. When these bolts
strike an opponent, they do so with so much force that the impact has the
potential to stun an opponent and leave him helpless for a period of time.
BOLTS OF KESSEK THE DEVOURER
(Minor Artifacts)
Damage: 4-8 Piercing
Enchanted: +2
THAC0: +4
Speed: 5
Weight: 0
Proficiency: Missiles
Also called "Kessek's Teeth," the head of these enchanted bolts are made of bone
and have two long fangs curving out from the center. When one of these bolts
strikes an opponent, the fangs takes on a life of their own and begin eating
their way slowly and painfully through the victim's body.
According to legend, Kessek was a bariaur chieftain on the Outlands who was
forced to watch his people starve during a winter storm in the Cleft of Tears
many centuries ago. Trapped in the Cleft because of heavy snows, he sent scouts
from his tribe out to seek aid from his neighbors, the province of Ohinru.
Learning of the bariaurs' plight, the merchant princes of Ohinru saw an
opportunity to wipe out the "nomadic pests" and claim their lands for their own.
The bariaur scouts were executed and their heads mounted on the walls so that,
"the vultures might feed while the bariaurs starved."
When the storms cleared and more than half of his tribe had died of starvation,
Kessek finally learned what had happened to his scouts. Consumed with an insane
fire, he fashioned a sheaf of bolts from the teeth and bones of his people who
had starved to death. Once he had finished, he traveled to Ohinru in the night
and fired his bolts blindly in the city streets, the name of each bariaur that
had died whispered on his lips as he released each shaft.
Each bolt he fired twisted in flight, hungrily searching for a victim and each
found one... then another, then another. The night was filled with the choked
screams of the citizens of Ohinru as the devourers claimed their bodies.
When dawn touched the city, the vultures fed again. No trace of Kessek could be
found.
The bolts of Kessek the Devourer can still be found scattered across the planes.
It is said that for each victim the bolts claim, that another bolt is born...
with the same hunger as the first.

These bolts have somehow captured the deadly harmonic of Pandemonium and then

the air elemental is released. The elemental will whip around the opponent in a
frenzy, making one strike before it vanishes.

These crotch-shaped bolts have been enchanted with one thing in mind:
emasculation. When fired, they home in on the most vulnerable point on a
victim's body, sink into the flesh, then the head of each bolt scissors
outwards, making it nearly impossible to pull out and increasing the damage
considerably. The name of the bolts comes from the reactions of spectators after
the bolts are fired.

NORDOM'S CROSSBOWS
Damage: Varies According to Ammo
Enchanted: +1
THAC0: +1
Speed: 10
Weight: 7
Proficiency: Missiles
Usable only by Nordom
Nordom's home plane of Mechanus is driven by great clockwork gears. Tending
these gears and making sure they run smoothly are given to creatures called
"gear spirits." These gear spirits have the ability to turn themselves into
almost any tool or common mechanical device... even crossbows. Nordom's two
crossbows are actually two gear spirits, and they seem to have willingly fled
with him from Mechanus.
Their duties are so essential to the smooth functioning of Mechanus that the
modrons have officially assigned these spirits to the various gears. While the
gear spirits love the gears they tend so much, their servitude to the modrons
rankles them, making them somewhat disgruntled. As a result, there are tales of
gear spirits that leave the great gears of Mechanus, leaving their duties for a
while to sample the Planes beyond their own. Most likely, Nordom's two crossbows
caught this wanderlust, and they now piggyback along with him, peppering any
hostile creature they see with crossbow bolts. The gear spirits can make endless
supplies of these bolts, so there is never any need for Nordom to reload unless
he wishes to fire new crossbow bolts.
The crossbows occasionally make small clicking and rattling noises. They seem to
be talking to each other, but their conversation is indecipherable. They're most
likely discussing the finer points of crossbow mechanics.

Usable only by Nordom
Nordom's crossbow bolts are created by his gear spirit crossbows. The exact
process they use to create them is unknown, but there does seem to be an
infinite supply of them... the gear spirits seem to be able to make as many as
needed on demand. Whenever the crossbow strings are pulled back, a new crossbow
bolt is there and ready to be fired.
The bolts vanish after they strike an object or once they reach their maximum
range, then they disintegrate. If they should strike a creature with metal
armor, then the crossbow bolts will actually chip away at the metal, reducing
the target's armor class. This seems to be a natural ability of the gear
spirits.
RULE-OF-THREE CROSSBOW BOLTS
Damage: 6-15 Piercing
Special: Head Splits into Three on Impact
Speed: 10
Weight: 0
Proficiency: Missiles
These crossbow bolts are the work of a twisted mechanical genius. Just beneath
the head of each bolt is a small catch, that when pressed, unlocks the head of
the bolt, allowing it to divide. From what you can tell, once the bolts are
unlocked, the pyramid-shaped heads are carefully fashioned so that each one
splits into three on impact. Each triangle-shaped fragment then tears a
different route through the target's body, wreaking havoc on his internal
organs.
WINGED BOLTS

These head of these bolts have been carved to resemble a pair of feathered

bolts. Although not magical, they are more accurate and do more damage when they
strike an opponent than standard crossbow bolts.
ZEPHYR BOLTS

THAC0: +1
Speed: 10
Weight: 0
Proficiency: Missiles
These crossbow bolts have heads with grooves cut into the sides. They do no more
damage than normal crossbow bolts, but they bear a minor enchantment that allows
them to correct their path in flight, making them more likely to hit an
opponent.

The engravings on this bracelet are nothing short of beautiful. The
craftsmanship reflects the skilled work of the Meh 'gahmi Sah 'ma nomadic
tribes. This bracelet was carved for their greatest warrior-priestess, Bell, who
sought to bring peace to the greater southern plains region. The enthralling
purple stones inset along the bracelet give off a soft, warm, royal purple glow.
BRONZE BRACELET
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.
DREAD BOND
Special:
Immunity to Panic
+1 to Strength
Weight: 3
Usable only by Fighters and living creatures
Legend has it that this bracelet was created by Nacek the Sadistic. Tiny razor
sharp spikes cover the entire surface of this item injecting small amounts of
rare reagents into the blood stream of the user. The effect of these chemicals
causes the user to feel a constant adrenaline rush of strength.
DUSTMAN EMBALMING CHARM, GREATER
Invokes: "Embalming, Greater"
3 Charges
Weight: 0
Usable only on Nameless One and Morte
This intricate metal bracelet has directions inscribed on the side of it.
Judging from the 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
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.
It appears that this bracelet has been forged with a great deal of skill and
care. Presumably it is more powerful than some of the standard embalming charms.
DUSTMAN EMBALMING CHARM, LESSER
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.
NOTE: This item will work on either you or Morte. Simply place it in your quick
item slot, then use it from the quick menu on Morte (or have Morte use it on
you) in order for it to take effect. When cast, the target gains +2-8 temporary
hit points and a temporary bonus of +1 AC for a "half-hour." The extra hit
points will heal the target if he is less than max hit points or they will give
him bonus hit points for a half-hour.
GOLD BRACELET
Weight: 0
Although this bracelet is of fine gold, it bears no ornamentation or engravings.
Despite its simplicity, it is bound to be worth something to a local merchant.
INTESTINAL PHYLACTERY
Invokes: "Heal"

Weight: 2
Usable only by living creatures
This ropy mass of bloody intestines is yours; Ravel pulled them quickly and
painlessly out of your body when she reverted to "Marta" during your
conversation in the Black-Barbed Maze. The fluids surrounding these intestines
have congealed into a slick resin, and holding them is like holding a dry,
rubbery cord. You have to admit it makes you uncomfortable to see them outside
of your body.
Ravel... Marta... WHOEVER that insane hag was... mentioned that these intestines
would serve as a powerful charm; it looks like when they are wrapped around
one's wrist like a phylactery, they give the wearer a portion of your immortal
endurance, increasing the person's pain threshold and armor class. Furthermore,
you may call upon this phylactery's power to fully heal a target three
times - even when this ability is exhausted, the intestines will still remain.
You have to confess, however, no matter what blessing these intestines bestow,
they look pretty damn gross when worn as a bracelet.
MAGUS GUARD
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.
MAGUS SHIELD
Armor Class: 4
Weight: 2
Usable only by Mages
This bracelet is a variation of the Magus Guard. Essentially using the same
spells and glyphs as its predecessor, the Magus Shield is better able to focus
the energy of the enchantments placed upon it.
SILVER BRACELET

This thin circlet is of fine silver, with a series of beautiful engravings

In actuality this is a living spider not jewelry. When attached to ones wrist,
the spider will sink its fangs into the users flesh and feed from the host,
providing both beneficial and detrimental effects.
TARNISHED SILVER BRACELET
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.

Proficiency: Edged
Not usable by Priests
This is a gift you received from Adahn when you bid him farewell in the
Smoldering Corpse Bar. It's a featureless metal dagger with a gold plated hilt.
It is difficult to get a feel for its balance, as it is almost weightless. The
dagger blade itself is made of some strange metal that shifts as you watch it,
changing from silver, to bronze, to gold.

Crafted specifically with the adept cross-trader in mind, this magical blade
masks the approach of the wielder by muffling any sounds he or she might make in
passing, thus improving his or her chances of approaching a target by stealth.

The blade of this dagger seems to be made from the bone of some creature. The
edge of this blade is extremely sharp.

THAC0: +1
Speed: 2
Weight: 1
Proficiency: Edged
Not usable by Priests
This feather is ash-gray, fading to black around the edges. It is much larger
than a bird feather, and it creates an unpleasant tingling sensation when held
for more than a minute.
Examination of the feather reveals that is the feather from a Vrock, one of the
many races of tanar'ri that fill the Abyss. The Vrock resemble huge vultures,
and they are often used as socuts for the tanar'ri forces in the Blood War.
This particular feather is believed to have been taken from a Vrock shaman, who
is reported to have died by simply disbelieving himself. Possessed of a certain
mental imbalance and with an odious habit of devouring his followers to gain
strength, this barmy Vrock was rumored to be capable of causing others of his
flock to behave erratically -- much more so than for a normal tan'nari. He
convinced many of his flock to tear off their wings and take up burrowing in the
ground. Other times, he preached the virtues of honesty as being more evil and
destructive than any lie. When he disintegrated, only the feather was left
behind as testament to his fevered existence. Some of the shaman's residue is
believed to reside in this "Chaos Feather."
The Chaos Feather, when used in combat as a dagger, inflicts a minor amount of
damage (about the same as a conventional dagger) and has the power to confuse
any target it strikes. Creatures struck by the feather may be stunned, run away,
or attack their allies.
Most tan'nari consider the feather to be a sacred object. Vrocks will kill
anyone possessing it in order to retrieve it.

"Celestial Fire" is the only object that Trias had left to remind him of the
Upper Planes. The blade became a dagger in your hands. It is warm to the touch,
and flames have been carved across the surface of the surface. The intricacy of
the carvings is breathtaking; they are done with such skill that the dagger
seems to be burning with metallic flames...someone must have spent several
centuries rendering them. The metal of the dagger is unfamiliar... it is heavy,
but it shines like silver.
The dagger looks several millennia old. A faint hum can be felt within it, and
the vibration becomes stronger when it touches human flesh. Not surprisingly,
"Celestial Fire" can be wielded only by those with sufficient strength and
purity of heart. When used in combat, "Celestial Fire" bursts into a holy
radiance that burns any evil creature it strikes in combat.

The second weapon of the Godsmen's "Triad of Tests" - "Ascension" and "Reason"
are the other two weapons in the triad - this dagger is slim, perfectly
balanced, and light as a feather. The symbol of the Godsmen is engraved along
the blade, and the entire weapon seems to shiver as if in anticipation. You are
the first to bear this weapon.

This strange item was in your possession after you gave the Modron Cube to the
iron golem in the Siege Tower. It looks to be a small dagger, but its surface
twists and bends as you watch, as if struggling to break free from its shape.
It looks to be made of iron, silver, and any of a number of different metals.
Sometimes they blend together, other times, they submerge into the core of the
blade, only to resurface again minutes later.

THAC0: +2
Speed: 1
Weight: 1
Proficiency: Edged
Not usable by Priests
Years of being embedded in the flesh of a fiend have imbued this once ordinary
dagger with qualities best left with their kind. Blood of the fiend has infused
itself with the dagger causing it to feel slightly warm to the touch.
When in combat the user of this dagger can hear a constant chittering in the
back of his mind causing him to lose all self-control making him unstoppable in
combat, but vulnerable to spells.
The history of this dagger is for the most part unknown. More than likely some
berk perished while fighting the fiend, losing his dagger as well as his life.
For now the name is but a description, it has yet to earn a proper title.
GREEN STEEL DAGGER
Damage: 2-5 Piercing
Speed: 1
Weight: 0
Proficiency: Edged
Not usable by Priests
This slim dagger 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. In addition, Green Steel weapons tend to
retain their remarkably fine edges and are capable of dealing out more damage
than their standard counterparts.

JAGGED KNIFE

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.
KAARLAC'S KNIFE
Damage: 1-3 Slashing
Special: Doubles all 1st Level Mage Spells
Speed: 1
Weight: 1
Proficiency: Edged
Usable only by Mages
The final achievement of one Kaarlac Cragenmoor, this enchanted knife is a boon
to those who practice the mystic arts. Kaarlac, ever one to aspire to greatness,
sought to create a magic item that could retain an imprint of a portion of his
memory -- particularly the short term memory that contained his considerable
spell repertoire. He theorized that, if successful, he could effectively double
the amount of spell knowledge he could retain at any given time. Unfortunately,
the enchantment was beyond his capability and in the midst of his fervent
casting, Kaarlac went mad and plunged the knife into his own chest. His
sacrifice, however, was not in vain, for the knife possesses enough of the
intended enchantment to bestow upon its wielder the ability to memorize twice
the number of first level spells.
KNIFE

"LAST RESORT"
(Cursed Artifact)
Damage: 1-2 Slashing
Enchanted: +3
Speed: 10
Weight: 1
Proficiency: Edged
Not usable by Priests
This small dagger looks fragile, but a series of jagged teeth line the edge of
the blade. The hilt itself is covered with dried blood, most likely the blood of
the users who held the weapon and were unable to release their grip.
Research indicates that this cursed dagger has had many names, the most
prominent of which was "Last Resort." When equipped, the user cannot release the
grip until death, or until the curse is lifted by spell or divine intervention.
Although the dagger is slower than most two-handed weapons and the damage it
inflicts is comparable to a scratch, it is rumored to be able to hurt almost any
creature it strikes, no matter what the creature's plane of origin or its
defenses. One planewalker who had freed herself from its curse actually chose to
travel with it, figuring that in any instance where she *had* to use it couldn't
be worsened by having it in her possession.

This is a dagger-shaped fragment of stone taken from the statue of
Gangroighydron. It bears a powerful enchantment -- each time someone is stabbed
by the splinter, they have a chance of being Cursed. It is most likely that the
fell curse trapped upon Gangroighydron's lips has soaked into the very stone of
his petrified form, and 'poisons' those the splinter stabs with his malicious
magic.

POOR QUALITY STILETTO

Speed: 2

Proficiency: Edged

This squat dagger, while 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.

The acids of Porphyatys, the fifth layer of Carceri, are dangerous to more than
a body's physical form - they tear at his mind and soul, eating away at his
reason. Weapons forged in this heart of betrayal do the same thing to their
owners, but too many believe that the acidic powers of a weapon created in
Porphatys are worth the risk.
RAVEL'S FINGERNAIL

This twisted fingernail of extruded night hag skin has got to be one of the
ugliest things you have ever seen. Its mottled green, red, and black surface is
almost a foot long, and it seems like it was used alternately as a scratching
aid, nose-picking tool, and gardening trowel. Looking at it makes you wish that
Ravel did chew her nails. Or at least had a nail file with her in the maze.
RUNEBLADE
Damage: 1-4 Piercing
Special +50% Resistance to Magic
THAC0: -4
Speed: 1
Weight: 1
Proficiency: Edged
Usable only by Mages only
Created by a legendary guild of battle mages known as "the Scarlet Seers," these
enchanted blades were specifically designed as a defensive countermeasure
against opposing spellcasters. The tiny runes etched into the blade are powerful
wards that offer the wielder increased resistance against all types of magic.
Unfortunately, with its emphasis on magical defense, the weapon's awkward design
makes it virtually ineffective in physical combat.
RUSTY DAGGER
Damage: 1-3 Piercing
Special: Fragile, Breakable
Speed: 2
Weight: 1
Proficiency: Edged

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

This simple surgical cutting tool looks like it's seen a lot of use.
NOTE: To equip the scalpel, left click it to pick it up, then drop it on the
player character's portrait or in his weapon slot.
SILVER FORK
Damage: 1-2 Piercing
Speed: 2
Weight: 0
Proficiency: Edged
Not usable by Priests
This is a silver dining fork. Its tines are especially sharp. Upon further
consideration, it might be able to be used as a dagger, though it most likely
wouldn't do any more damage than a conventional dagger. It might prove useful
against creatures damaged only by silver weapons.
SILVER HAIRPIN

THAC0: +1
Speed: 1
Weight: 1
Proficiency: Edged
Not usable by Priests
The Sword of Why'nn - also known as the Cheater's Blade - looks more like an
ornamental dagger than a combat-worthy blade. Though not particularly well
balanced, it has been enchanted with powerful magicks and is thus more effective
in battle than a more 'common' knife. The Sword of Wh'ynn's greatest power,
however, lies in its ability to let its bearer cheat: by merely holding the
'sword' aloft in a suitably melodramatic pose, its owner will beat whatever game
the artifact's been found in.

Tempered with the lethal venom of the dreaded hook spider, the magical
properties of this blade, known simply as "Widowmaker," are much sought after by
practicing assassins throughout the Planes. The poison that has been magically
and permanently infused into the dagger immediately infects those cut by it.
Additionally, the wielder of "Widowmaker" immediately develops an improved
resistance to poison simply from holding the blade.

This earring is one of four, each with its own special ability. They are

others to aid the Anarchist in his pursuit of freedom for all. Note that these
earrings, while useful, are not exactly subtle in declaring allegiance to the
Revolutionary League.
This particular earring makes you more attractive, more persuasive, and better
able to infiltrate the strongholds of the overweening power structure.
ANARCHIST EARRING #2
Invokes: "Blindness"
Weight: 0
This earring is one of four, each with its own special ability. They are
designed to enable their wearer to escape detection from the law, or to persuade
others to aid the Anarchist in his pursuit of freedom for all. Note that these
earrings, while useful, are not exactly subtle in declaring allegiance to the

This particular earring causes blindness in the target creature. Use it
carefully.
ANARCHIST EARRING #3

This particular earring allows its user to function with a clear mind against
the terrors of enemies.
ANARCHIST EARRING #4
Invokes: "Pacify"
Weight: 0
This earring is one of four, each with its own special ability. They are
designed to enable their wearer to escape detection from the law, or to persuade
others to aid the Anarchist in his pursuit of freedom for all. Note that these
earrings, while useful, are not exactly subtle in declaring allegiance to the
Revolutionary League.
This particular earring allows its owner to overpower its target with a mental
barrage, leaving the target weak-minded and vulnerable.
ANCIENT COPPER EARRING (CLOSED)
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.
NOTE: If you're ever capable of examining an object further, or performing an
action on the object outside of the world screen, a "USE" button will appear for
the object on this examine screen. This button allows you to manipulate it
through a dialogue screen. If you wish to examine the grooves on the earring
further, select the USE button below.
ANCIENT COPPER EARRING (HOLLOW)
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.
CHAINED-TEETH EARRINGS
Special: +5% Open Locks Skill Bonus
Weight: 0
Usable only by Thieves
Perhaps the idea that Annah would wear anything solely for ornamental value
makes you suspicious of these earrings.
Upon closer examination, you discover these thin metal earrings are actually a
series of well-crafted lockpicks. If need be, you can unhook them and use them
to pick open stubborn locks.
NOTE: These earrings will only add to your Open Locks skill when they are
equipped.
COPPER EARRING
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.
CRIMSON SPHERE EARRING
Special:
+10% Resistance Fire
+5% Resistance to Magical Fire
Weight: 0
Not usable by Ignus
This small red gem set into this earring acts like a heat sponge, protecting the
wearer from heat or flame attacks. Whenever the wearer is exposed to fire, the
gem draws some of the heat into itself, shielding its wearer from part of the
damage.
It is rumored that each of these earrings holds a tiny fire mephit inside, and
that they are so starved for heat that they will drink deep of any fire in the
vicinity. This has never been proven, mostly because no one really cares to
investigate the matter.
DUSTMAN EARRING
Special:
+30% Resistance to Cold
+30% Resistance to Magical Cold
+30% Resistance to Fire
+30% Resistance to Magical Fire
+2 Saving Throw vs. Death Magic
Weight: 0
Usable only by Dustmen
This earring has the smell of ash and dust about it and is icy cold to the
touch. When worn, the earring shields the wearer from temperature extremes,
granting the wearer partial resistance to heat and cold. Furthermore, the
earring also protects the wearer from mind-influencing magics and magics that
attack the body, including paralyzation and death magic.
The earring signifies the wearer's allegiance to the Dustmen and can only be
worn by a member of the Dustman faction. According to rumor, this earring helps
dull the Dustmen to the effects of the outside world.
FALL-FROM-GRACE'S EARRINGS
Special:
+1 to All Saving Throws
+5% Resistance to Magic
Weight: 0
Usable only by Females
These are Fall-From-Grace's earrings. They give her a slight amount of
protection from spells and other magic, and like almost everything else, they
look really good on her.
GOLD EARRING
Weight: 0
This simple gold pendant may have once hung from a nobleman's ear.
INDEP EARRING
Special:
+1 to Armor Class
+1 to All Saving Throws
+1 to Save vs. Spells
Immunity to Confusion
Weight: 0
Usable only by Indeps
This barbed earring marks the wearer as a member of the Indep faction. This
earring is the home of an independent spirit which accompanies the wearer and
does its best to protect him from harm. Whenever possible, the spirit gives its
wearer a mental nudge to get them out of harm's way... the tiny counseling
spirit provides the user with +1 to all Saving Throws, and its mere presence
gives the wearer an additional bonus to avoid spells and confusion effects.
Many of these enchanted items were made in the bazaars of Sigil by a silversmith
from Oerth, who had found a way of shaping metal in such a way that it attracted
'free spirits' to the metal and caused them to take up residence there. The
spirit is not bound to the earring by any means; from what scholars have
determined, there is something about the earring that the spirits find "cozy."
OBSIDIAN EARRING
Special: +10% Stealth Skill Bonus
Weight: 0

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.
RULE-OF-THREE EARRING
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

This simple silver circlet earring has faint engravings on its surface, but you

This is a small silver earring you recovered from the drunken harlot outside the
Smoldering Corpse Bar.
STINGER EARRING
Special:
+2 to Armor Class
+2 to Armor Class vs. Piercing Attacks
Weight: 0
This earring has been made from the hardened shell of a segmented, larva-like
creature. Its shell has been treated with some sort of glazed finish that makes
it look disturbingly alive. The wire that hooks to the ear looks like it is part
of the larva itself, perhaps its stinger or antenna.
To activate the earring's power, the wearer must prick his thumb with the
stinger, allowing it to bond with its new owner. When "awakened," this earring
helps protect the wearer from attacks, giving the wearer's skin the same
strength and durability of the larva's shell.

ANGLE-LESS EYE
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.

Apparently, some modron once foolishly asked a wizard what it was like to be
intoxicated, and these goggles were fashioned. When this lens is equipped, the
wearer becomes "braver," "stronger," but can't see targets too well, reducing
his chances to hit and damage an enemy.

Many tales are told of the arch-lich Vecna.
It is said that Vecna was one of the Planes' mightiest sorcerers, able to draw
life from dust and send it back again, extinguish lives with a glance, and make
the earth shudder beneath his touch. He was said to be so powerful that when the
end of his life drew near, death refused to take him into its kingdom.
And so Vecna died, yet lived on.
Abandoned by death, Vecna became the master of a vast kingdom on a prime world
called Oerth. Neither kind nor just, Lord Vecna's rule was one of great horror
and suffering, and it is said his reach was so great that even the Powers of
Oerth feared to cross him for fearing of drawing his eye.
Yet, while Vecna's gaze traveled ever outward in search of new conquests, he
failed to see his own end when it came for him... in the form of his lieutenant,
Kas.
As was fitting for Vecna's left hand servant, the arch-lich had fashioned a
terrible weapon for his lieutenant as a symbol of his authority. Vecna made this
weapon with such skill it is said that part of the sorcerer entered the blade,
and it was this sliver of Vecna that gave the blade its life and its treacherous
nature. Where once there was lifeless steel, there became thought, intent, and,
perhaps most horrible of all, a voice.
The sword whispered treacheries to the ambitious Kas, night upon night, month
upon month, year upon year, until one night, the remains of Kas' discipline was
seduced by the rippling edge of the blade. Convinced by his blade that he was
Vecna's superior, Kas confronted his dread master upon his Dessicated Throne,
and the two of them fought a terrible battle.
During the battle, Kas was killed, but before he fell, his blade had dismembered
his former master, scattering his remains so that no one may draw them together
again. And so it has come to pass that pieces of Vecna have made their way
across the Planes... one of these is the Eye of Vecna. It carries with it a
bloody, violent history, so much so that many scholars refuse to speak of its
treacheries, for fear the eye will come to them, seeking to add another victim
to its bloody chronology.
The Eye of Vecna was instrumental in the extermination of the House of Hyeric,
once the ruling dynasty in Nyrond. It is said to have been behind the sundering
of the Conclave of Tyssis-on-the-Sea, which led to the three-cycle war that
poisoned the seas of Malhatai and left the oceanic world barren of life. On the
ashen Plane of Ghalentir, it possessed the gentle father of Sasaran, a babe with
the potential to lead his suffering people from their shadowed lands to the
Gates of Paradise... had not the eye drove Sasaran's father to murder his son as
he lay sleeping in his crib. All these kingdoms, all these futures, the Eye of
Vecna laid waste.
The Eye's powers are said to shift with each new owner, but one thing is
certain: no good ever comes from whoever has the misfortune to possess it. It is
destined to betray its wearer at a critical moment, failing him when he needs
its power the most.
GLASS EYE

THAC0: -1

This glass eye is a poor replacement for a real one. The wearer's depth

KALEIDOSCOPIC EYE
Invokes: "Chromatic Orb" when held
Special: Equipped
+1 to All Saving Throws
+1 to Save vs. Spells
+5% Resistance to Magic
Weight: 0
Usable only by Good creatures
This shimmering jewel is actually the corpse of a radiance spirit from the Upper
Plane of Elysium. When these creatures pass away, they leave their shimmering
husks behind. These husks are often mistaken for jewels or semi-precious stones.
Their essence is still that of harmony and goodness, and they can only be
employed by a creature whose heart is filled with good intentions.
The kaleidoscopic eye can either be wielded in the hand or placed in an empty
eye socket, depending on whether its owner wishes to use it for defense or
offense. When held, the user may summon its power to harness ambient light,
twist it, then turn it against his enemies.
When placed in the owner's eye socket, the eye grafts itself to the wearer's
skull and helps shield its new owner. It absorbs a portion of the energies from
incoming attacks and provides proof against all manner of magical attacks.
When the Kaleidoscopic Eye's offensive power is exhausted, it cracks and turns
to dust.
LENS OF CONFOUNDING
Special: +2 to Armor Class
Weight: 0
Usable only by Modrons
This scope possesses a strange ability; it clouds the eyesight of anyone who
intends to harm the wearer, making him seem blurry and indistinct to his
enemies. The Lens of Confounding makes the wearer harder to hit, giving him a
bonus to their Armor Class.
LENS OF INHERENT VICIOUSNESS
Special: +2 to Damage
THAC0: +2 to Missile Weapons

Usable only by Modrons
This snap-on magnifying lens somehow seems inherently vicious to you. You can't
really explain why this is... you have a strange feeling it's looking at you
sometimes, sizing you up.
LENS OF PERSPICACITY
Special:

+1 Save vs. Spells
+3 to Lore Skill
THAC0: +1 to Missile Weapons
Weight: 0
Usable only by Modrons
This powerful lens heightens the perceptions and the thoughts of the wearer when
worn. It grants the wearer enhanced deduction abilities, the knowledge of
spell-casting (and how to thwart it), and also gives any missile attack greater
range and damage.
LENS OF SEEING DOUBLE
Special: +8 to Damage
THAC0: -2 to Missile Weapons
Weight: 0
Usable only by Modrons
This bizarre bubble shaped scope has two lenses mounted side by side. When
looking through it, everything appears double, which makes it difficult to
distinguish which target is the real one.
The benefit of the lens, however, is any projectile the user fires at a target
IS doubled while he is wearing the lens. When equipped, any projectile fired by
the lens-wearer splits into two, doubling its damage.
LENS OF THE BAT

Special:
Induces "Blindness"
-4 to Damage
THAC0: -4 to Missile Weapons
Weight: 0
Usably only by Modrons
Whether a joke or the result of a bizarre experiment, some insane machinist
dabbling in the Art has crafted a lens that "gifts" the user with the vision of
a bat. The inventor must have wanted to force the user to appreciate the
perspective, as the lens cannot be removed without a Remove Curse spell.
LENS OF THE HORIZON
Special: -50 to Lore Skill
THAC0: +5 to Missile Weapons
Weight: 0
Usable only by Modrons
This aqua-marine lens of this scope is a drop of water of Oceanus. The water
drop has been frozen with the reflection of the Elysium's skies on its surface,
giving anyone who looks through it the ability to see objects at an incredible
distance. It increases the wearer's chance to hit, but it reduces their ability
to look closely at objects.

NORDOM'S OCULAR
THAC0: +1 to Missile Weapons

This snap-on magnifying lens serves as a sighting scope for Nordom's crossbows.
It improves his accuracy and looks really intimidating when he slides it down

"OPTIX"
(Cursed Minor Artifact)
Invokes: "Knock"
Special:
+2 to Damage
+15% Critical Hit Chance
+1 Luck
THAC0: +2 to Missile Weapons
Weight: 0
Usable only by Modrons
Nordom's Crossbows are not the only gear spirits to have fled from Mechanus -
Optix, a somewhat older and more curmudgeonly gear spirit, has been living his
last few centuries in an alchemy lab in Sigil. When the alchemist passed away,
Optix moved on to various odd jobs, including keg taps, cuckoo clocks,
metronomes, corkscrews, and so on, never settling very long in one place. His
most recent form, that of a sniper scope, seems to content him for now.
Although Optix is an irritating nag to the two younger crossbow gear spirts, he
*has* studied the physiology of creatures throughout the Planes. The two
youngsters grudgingly admit (with reluctant, strained clicks) that his advice on
how to aim for the eyes and other vital areas of creatures is quite valuable.
Although it runs contrary to his nature, Optix can actually force itself to be
charming to other small mechanical devices... just not for too long . While in
Nordom's possession, Optix can be convinced to 'talk' to any locks you encounter
and try to persuade them to unlock. This ability is the equivalent of a Knock
spell, but it can only be used a certain number of times before Optix gets fed
up and refuses to do it anymore.
Another unfortunate aspect of Optix's presence is that once he's "comfortable,"
he doesn't like to come off. A Remove Curse will be needed to pull him off of
Nordom's head if he becomes too irritating.
RETRACTABLE SCOPE
Special: +1 to Damage
THAC0: +2 to Missile Weapons
Weight: 0
Usable only by Modrons
This intricately designed sighting scope folds up into itself when not in use.
When activated, it clamps into place over the user's left eye and immediately
begins tracking any targets in range with a series of low, threatening *clicks.*
The tracking system gives the user greater accuracy with missile weapons and
makes projectiles more damaging.

Usable only by Modrons
This scope looks as if it's missing its lens, but in fact, the lens itself is
displaced in space: if you use your peripheral vision, you can make it out a few
feet to your left, just hanging in space.
When this scope is equipped, a portion of the wearer phases out, and he becomes
EXTREMELY difficult to hit with missile weapons or spells. Furthermore, the
wearer is just hard to see, period; it's almost like he's not all there.
Depending on who's wearing this lens, it may complement his personality just
fine.

Weight: 0
A well-known and respected fiend from the Lower Planes, Kalem'Darr was a member
of the Fated faction in Sigil. His businesses were spread far and wide, and it
was said he had a glittering touch, for every enterprise he undertook was
successful. He planned carefully, took few risks, and prospered. Occasionally,
he was forced to collect on debts - which could be bloody undertakings, but in
the end, he always received his payments.
One day, one of his debtors came to Kalem'Darr and told him he could not settle
his debt with coin... but would provide something of greater worth, if the fiend
was interested. The man was a hedge wizard of little power, but he claimed he
knew the ways of blessing a businessman's eye so that no opportunity would ever
escape his sight. Kalem'Darr, both greedy and intrigued, agreed to accept the
enchantment as payment.
It worked... too well, as perhaps the wizard has intended.
Kalem'Darr's enchanted eye soon saw opportunities *everywhere.* Too many to be
exploited, and many others the fiend did not know HOW to take advantage of. What
his "blessed" eye saw, his hands made broken - every opportunity he tried to
take advantage of, his ineptitude mangled. His businesses fell apart, his
financial empire crumbled. He soon found himself in debt to his fellows, who had
little sympathy for their former competitor.
Kalem'Darr, unable to bear his reversal of fortune, finally plucked the
offending eyeball from his socket and placed it within a cube of glass upon his
mantle-piece. Then one day... the eye simply vanished.
It is said the eyeball itself saw a better opportunity as a free agent, but
this has never been proven.
When placed within an empty eye socket, not only does the fiendish eye grants
the wearer a trace of Kalem'Darr's fiendish immunities, it also grants the
wearer a bonus to their dealings with others, allowing them to thread their way
through a conversation and take what they need. Still, the blinding array of
opportunities the eye presents to the wearer blinds him to the opportunities he
does take, reducing how much he learns from his experiences.

Proficiency: Fists
Usable only by Annah

a quick death.

This strange item was in your possession after you gave the Modron Cube to the
iron golem in the Siege Tower. It looks to be a small dagger, but its surface
twists and bends as you watch, as if struggling to break free from its shape.
It looks to be made of iron, silver, and any of a number of different metals.
Sometimes they blend together, other times, they submerge into the core of the
blade, only to resurface again minutes later.

NOTE: Your fist is your default attack. Although the amount of damage you can do
with your fists is relatively small, you can attack quickly and the damage you
do *is* affected by your Strength.
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

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.
NOTE: Many weapons in Torment do similar amounts of damage... but the *type* of
damage each weapon does varies. Some creatures are more vulnerable to certain
types of damage than others; if your current weapon isn't doing much damage
against a creature, chances are it is resistant to it. Switch off weapons and
see which one works best.

Usable only by Lawful Good characters
"Celestial Fire" was the only object that Trias had left to remind him of the
Upper Planes. The blade became a pair of gauntlets in your hands. They is warm
to the touch, and flames have been carved across the knuckles of the gloves. The
intricacy of the carvings is breathtaking; they are done with such skill that
the gauntlets seem to be burning with metallic flames...someone must have spent
several centuries rendering them. The metal of the gauntlets is unfamiliar... it
is heavy, but it shines like silver.
The gauntlets look several millennia old. A faint hum can be felt within them,
and the vibration becomes stronger when they touch human flesh. Not
surprisingly, the "Gauntlets of Celestial Fire" can be wielded only by those
with sufficient strength and purity of heart. When used in combat, the
"Gauntlets of Celestial Fire" burst into a holy radiance that burns any evil
creature they strike in combat.

These leather gloves give the user the ability to use his hands like claws. When
the wearer attacks a foe with his hands, long black talons lance forth from the
fingers of the gauntlets and allow the user to rake an opponent for additional
slashing damage. When the wearer is not attacking, the talons recede back into
the gauntlets...although they seem to do so reluctantly. When the talons are not
extended, the gauntlets appear to be nothing more than stiff leather gloves.

Usable only by Fighters and Thieves
These gauntlets have had many names over the centuries. Some have termed the
gauntlets the 'Gauntlets of Hunger.' Other terms have ranged from 'Gloves of
Greed,' or, among the stupidest, 'the Gnashing Gloves.' The Githzerai called
them 'they-which-devour,' and believed them to be an artifact fashioned by the
slaadi, the intelligent carnivorous frog-like beings that inhabit the plane of
Limbo.
The most common name for this item is the "Gauntlets of Teeth." The exact
creature from which the bones originate from is unknown. Nonetheless, when the
nature of the gloves is revealed, their power awakens as soon as they are used
in combat. When the user punches an enemy, the bone exteriors of the gloves peel
back to reveal several rows of teeth. These teeth sink greedily into the foe's
body. These teeth are not jagged -- they are mostly wide and blunt, but they
clamp onto a target with the strength of a giant, doing additional crushing
damage when punching an opponent.
IGNUS' FIREBALL

Cleverly designed, this object splits into two pieces to form punch daggers.
When properly used they are deadly in combat. The easily accessible levers and
gears shoot out and twist various blades almost as if they were extensions of
the hand. Although excellent as a combat weapon, those same mechanisms used to
shred the flesh of an enemy can also be used for the delicate procedures of
opening locks and disarming traps.
Only the most gifted of thieves possess items such as this. As it takes keen
mind and skill hand to properly operate.

These daggers were once wielded by Moorin, the jinxed. Moorin 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 in 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.

of some merit who decided to specialize in the 'removal' of mages for large sums
of gold. To further her goal she commissioned the creation of these blades by
the mage Thex Voorton. With her new weapons in hand she was quite successful at
her craft.
Shar met her demise when she was hired to assassinate the very mage who created
the daggers. Much to her surprise the weapons failed to harm their creator,
Thex, nor did they grant Shar protection against his spells...

high in the ranks of his guild by assassinating everyone who got in his way. His
career came to an end when one of his 'possibly next' victims noticed that the
upcoming thief was never without his daggers, keeping them with him even while
bathing. When the daggers mysteriously disappeared, so did Zar 'anun.

slowly bleed to death from the jagged wounds the spikes inflict.

These punch daggers seems to almost slip from your grasp as you hold it, yet at
the same time, it invokes a strange sensation as you wield it, as if fate itself
was changing in your favor. As a dagger-type weapon, it is massive and fearsome,
with sharp serrated edges along both sides. It is bathed in a vibrant, royal
purple hue. Along the hilt is carved the word: "Hii 'toh 'mi."

ABYSSAL PIPE

of the Abyss.
ADDER'S TEAR
Invokes: "Adder's Kiss"

ASHES OF THE PABULUM
Summons Trelons
Weight: 1
Not usable by Mages
Usable only by Nameless One
These ashes are all that remains of a school of illusionists called the Pabulum.
According to their expedition logs, they traveled to the Plain of Shale in
search of the lost works of the Fosterer, a powerful sorcerer who once ruled an
empire where the Plain of Shale now lies.
The naive illusionists were successful, and they stumbled across one of his lost
works: a hive of vicious creatures called the Trelons. The remains of the mages
were found days later by two bariaur scouts and were burned over a pyre as a
symbol of their folly.
To unlock the power of these ashes, one only needs to stir them with the index
finger of the left hand, then sprinkle a pinch of the ashes into the air in a
circular pattern. The smell of the remains of these dead mages is said to cause
a Trelon to appear to serve the user.
No one knows where the Trelons originated from, but they seem to combine the
worst characteristics of demons and insects. They seem to bear an insane hatred
for mages, but the reason for this is unknown.
BANDAGES
Special: Heals 3 Hit Points
Weight: 0
This is a roll of bandages, useful for stanching minor wounds.
NOTE: When used, bandages will heal a character for 3 hit points of damage. To
use them, either select the 'Use' button below or place them in one of your
quick slots and use them on the quick action menu on the world screen.
NOTE: Bandages are "stackable" items. When you pick them up, they automatically
stack on top of one another in your inventory, freeing up slots for other items.
If you wish to unstack them for any reason, simply double click on the item. You
will then be given an option to divide the stack.
BLACK-BARBED CHARM
Invokes: "Black-Barbed Shield"
Weight: 0
This is a string of black barbed seeds linked together by one of Ravel's long
gray hairs. This is one of Ravel's improvised charms; when the string of seeds
is sliced in the right spot, the necklace unravels around the caster,
surrounding the user with a black-barbed shield that will help protect them from
attacks and will also damage anyone attempting to harm the caster.
BLACK-BARBED WAND
Invokes: "Black-Barbed Shield"
Invokes: "Black-Barbed Curse"
Weight: 1
Usable only by Mages
This twisted branch is actually composed of three black branches that have grown
tightly around each other. The branches look much like the ones in Ravel's maze,
but the branches have none of the black barbs that covered the trees in her
maze.
This black-barbed branch is a wand forged from the trees in Ravel's maze and
endowed with a fraction of her magical power. By calling on the power within the
wand, the wielder may summon forth a shield of black brambles to protect the
caster from harm or cause a series of black brambles to rip from the earth
around a target and enfold them in their constricting embrace. The wand itself
only holds a certain amount of Ravel inside it, and once expended, it becomes
useless.
NOTE: To change which spell is cast from this item, first place the wand into
your quick item slot. Now right click on wand to bring up the description. By
selecting the abilities button you will be able to change which spell you may
cast.
BLESSED CANDY
Invokes: "Bless"
Weight: 0
This piece of delicious milk chocolate has had its creamy, caramel center
blessed by a powerful priest of an unnamed power of good. Eating it will confer
this blessing upon the devourer.
BLOOD CHARM
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 and 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)
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
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 charm gives the user an overall
bonus to their armor class and additional resistance against crushing attacks.
CANDLESTICK
Weight: 2
This candlestick has seen much use. Dents and nicks adorn the tarnished surface.
CHARCOAL CHARM
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
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.
NOTE: This charm can be used to "identify" unknown items. It can *only* be used
on the quick item menu on the world screen. After the charm is used, the user
must then enter their inventory screen and right-click (i.e., "examine") each
item they want to identify. The charm will only allow the user to identify
objects that are in his possession -- items in other character's inventories
cannot be identified this way. The effects of this charm are temporary and must
be used quickly.
CLIPPED COPPER CHARM
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 of "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 had 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
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
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.
CODEX OF THE INCONCEIVABLE
Weight: 3
What you had first taken to be a rather unassuming book held closed by a tiny
brass lock is, in actuality, bound in strange leathers and enchanted bronze. It
is labeled simply: 'The Codex of the Inconceivable.'
CORPSE FLY CHARM
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
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.
CRUNCHITY CANDY
Invokes: "Armor"
Weight: 0
This piece of chocolate is coated with a crisp, sugary shell. Eating it
temporarily coats the devourer with a magically crisp, crunchy coating of their
own.
DHALL'S QUILL PEN
Special: Permanent +1 to Lore Skill
Weight: 0
Usable only by Mages
Examination of the quill pen reveals that the feather is from a Vrock, one of
the many races of tanar'ri that fill the Abyss. The Vrock resemble huge
vultures, and they are often used as scouts for the tanar'ri forces in the
Blood War.
Dhall used this quill pen all of his life, and as such, it carries some of his
experiences and memories inside it. By snapping it, you will absorb a portion of
his knowledge, giving you a permanent bonus to your Lore skill.
DIRTY RAT CHARM
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
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.
EMBALMING FLUID
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.
FANGED MIRROR OF YEHCIR-EYA
(Minor Artifact)
Invokes "Soul Exodus"
Weight: 1
The Fanged Mirrors of Yehcir-Eya were the hope of an empire.
The last Great Matriarch of the Sea of Black Sand, Yehcir-Eya, found herself
slowly dying. Surrounded by rival nations that wished to claim her lands for her
own, Yehcir-Eya sought to choose one of the Lesser Matriarchs from the
surrounding nations and enter into an alliance, preserving her nation against
invasion. Yet she knew not which of the Lesser Matriarchs to trust.
Consulting her oracles, she asked them for a means of testing the hearts of the
Lesser Matriarchs. They told her to travel to the edges of the Sea of Black
Sand - there, where the shifting black sand gave way to slate, she would find
what she sought.
The Great Matriarch journeyed many leagues, travelling on foot until she reached
the edges of the Great Sea. There, her feet fell upon a great plate of silvered
glass the size of a courtyard embedded in the floor of the desert.
Her oracles instructed her to cut the great glass and fashion thirty-three
mirrors. These mirrors were sent to the Lesser Matriarchs of the surrounding
nations as gifts. The mirrors would test their hearts, the oracles predicted.
No one is certain what happened on that final night, but with every mirror that
was delivered, a Lesser Matriarch fell dead. There were wild tales of spectral
forms that crawled from the bodies of the Lesser Matriarchs as they gazed upon
the mirrors, and the howling cries as they strangled their owners.
In response to the assassination of their leaders, the surrounding nations
attacked the nation of Yehcir-Eya and razed it to the ground. The Fanged Mirrors
of Yehcir-Eya were scattered and lost.
According to several planar scholars, the Fanged Mirrors had the ability to
cause a soul to slip from its owner and take on physical form. Whether it was
because the Lesser Matriarchs were consumed by greed and a desire for conquest
or whether the great plate of silvered glass found on the edges of the Sea of
Black Sand was evil in itself, the mirrors created a vicious reflection of their
owners. Their souls took on substance and killed their owners.
The fanged mirror can be used against an opponent - when used, it will reflect a
spectral version of the target that will appear and attempt to kill him.
FROSTY MINT CANDY
Invokes: "Friends"
Weight: 0
This small, round bit of hard candy makes the devourer's breath so winter cool
and frosty, minty fresh that their Charisma is increased considerably for a
period of time.
GORDIAN KNOT
(Unique, Artifact)
Special:
Permanent +2 to Charisma
Permanent -1 to Wisdom
Weight: 0
Usable only by Fighters
The knot binding the two ends of this rope together holds a powerful magic. When
this knot is severed by a fighter with an edged weapon, the warrior gains a rush
of confidence and arrogance, reducing their Wisdom but raising their Charisma.
The user is also beset with the urge to gather an army and rush out and conquer
the Planes, but this urge does not rule the user's actions.
It is said that this is a knotted piece of rope that was cut in two by a
conqueror on a distant prime material world. Every time the knot is severed, it
disappears, showing up years later in the hands of another who can make use of
its power.
HEALING SCROLL
Special: Heals 33 Hit Points
Weight: 0
This tissue-thin vellum scroll was part of Deionarra's legacy. The scroll is
neatly rolled up and wrapped with a red ribbon. When the ribbon is opened, the
healing magic contained within the scroll is released.
The scroll will heal even the most critical of wounds. It disintegrates into
powder when used.

Heal 27 Hit Points
Reduces Fatigue
+10% Resistance to Slashing Attacks
+20% Resistance to Piercing Attacks
Weight: 0

the tongue, it dissolves instantly and spreads through the character's veins and
heart.

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.
HEART OF THE FOSTERER
(Minor Artifacts)
Special: Summons the Sohmien
Weight: 1
Usable only by Evil and Neutral Characters
This strange object is said to be the "Heart of the Fosterer." According to
legend, the Fosterer was a sorcerer who built his empire upon the Plane of Shale
many centuries ago. He was rumored to have 3,333 hearts, and each of them
carried in it a different evil he had committed in his lifetime. One of the
evils he committed was the discovery of how to summon the Sohmien and bind them
to his will. It is said that the Fosterer was carried away by these beasts after
he invoked them against some ancient foe, leaving only his hearts behind.
According to planar scholars, the Sohmien are fiendish horses, said to have been
born from the blood of the last of the nightmare lords. They're not so much
flesh and blood as an abstract given substance. They come to anyone who seeks
revenge and bind themselves to them.
They were born from a great treachery at the Gloom Meet, the time when the
fiends gather to speak to the others of their kind. The nightmares ride the
skies to gather the fiends to this meeting, acting as messengers. While the
fiends saw the nightmares are helpful, convenient allies, they had grown tired
of bartering with the last of the nightmare lords for his consent to use them.
So the fiends called a Gloom Meet only for the purpose of killing. They lured
the nightmare lord there to kill him, and when he arrived, the fiends set upon
him. He beseeched the other nightmares for aid, but they only watched, their
eyes aflame as their lord was attacked.
The fiends tried to put him in the dead book - they scattered the earth with
caltrops covered with the foulest poisons in the hells, hurled barbed cold-iron
spears a league wide into him, and when he tried to take to the air to escape,
they turned the sky alight with magick, blinding his eyes white. They struck at
him with everything in their hateful arsenal - but no matter what they struck
him with, he was too proud to die. They hounded him to the edge of the Outlands,
firing their cruel arrows and spears into him until he staggered into the
Hinterland mists and died there... or so it is said.
It's said that as the nightmare lord stumbled into the mists of the Hinterlands,
his dark blood left a steaming trail across the landscape. Wherever his blood
fell, the Outland itself cried out, wailing like a banshee, uttering the cries
the nightmare lord would not.
Less than a year later, the Sohmien rode from the Hinterlands, seeking out any
nightmares and fiends where they could find them. Their cries were the same as
had risen from the blood wounds on the Outlands, and their minds were focused
solely on revenge.
It is said that gripping the heart of the Sohmien and wishing harm upon another
will cause them to appear. The Sohmien will answer the user's call, then fade
into the mists from which they came.
HOLY CANDY
Invokes: "Protection From Evil"
Weight: 0
This piece of sweet, dark chocolate has had its crunchy, praline-filled center
prayed over by the Eoialn, an order of wise, mystical monks from the Prime World
of Irm. Eating it will protect the user against the forces of evil for a time.
KASSEG, CEREBRAL PARASITE
Special:
+3 to Intelligence
+1 to Wisdom
Immunity to Panic
Weight: 1
The *kasseg* are a species of mental parasite feeds on the nervous energy of
sentient creatures. Believed to be a deviant branch of the dreaded intellect
devourers, the kasseg is different in that it soothes the mind and bolster its
host's higher mental processes, taking over certain mundane thinking tasks in
exchange for feeding on his nervous energy for a time.
To "use" the *kasseg*, the user simply attaches it to his bare skin. The
*kasseg* then excretes a mucus-like resin that acts as a means of communication
between the victim in itself. Once "attached," the *kasseg* lifespan drops to
only a few hours.
KNOT CHARM
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.
LADY OF PAIN RAG DOLL
Weight: 1
The years haven't been kind to this tiny rag doll; it is coming apart at the
seams, and it looks like its threads are unraveling. It is obviously intended to
be a replica of the Lady of Pain, but the button eyes and its plush softness
don't strike much fear into your heart.
LUCKY CANDY
Invokes: "Luck"
Weight: 0
This moon-shaped piece of chocolate is filled with tasty marshmallow creme.
Eating it increases the devourer's luck for a time.

of damage per charge.
MECHANUS CANDY
Invokes: "Call Lightning"
Weight: 0
The piece of hard candy is shaped like a small gear or cog. It is
chocolate-flavored with a slight, metallic aftertaste. Placed in the mouth, it

eater of such candy.

vomiting forth great clouds of angry insects.
MIRROR OF IMAGING
Special: Creates 1-4 Mirror Images of self
Weight: 2
This magical mirror creates duplicates of anyone reflected in it's surface. The
effect is similar to the wizard spell 'Magic Mirror'. From 1 to 4 images are
created. Each image is identical to the user of the mirror and may confuse
enemies. There is a chance that an image will be targeted rather than the mirror
user.
MODRON CUBE
Weight: 1
This small metal toy is a replica of a cube-like mechanical creature with huge
eyes on one of its faces. The toy has two legs, two arms, two folding wings, and
at least eighteen points of articulation. Maybe it's a collector's item.
The intricacy of this toy is incredible; its joints are composed of tiny gears,
cogs, pulleys, and swivel joints, and there are even tiny springs on the legs
that help support the feet. There is a little switch on the back that moves the
eyes back and forth, and the wings are made of some tissue-like metal that folds
up neatly when the wings are flush with the body. Despite the toy's awkward
shape, it rests easily on any surface, no matter how uneven.
MONSTER JUG
Weight: 4
This is a heavy, plain-looking, metallic jug with a hinged stopper. Despite its
common appearance, you feel reluctant to touch the thing, as if it might bite
you. You've been told there's some sort of monster trapped inside of it - but
peering into the jug's mouth reveals nothing but inky blackness.
MURK
Invokes: "Blacksphere"
Weight: 0
This is a small bottle containing some dark liquid. The liquid contained within
seems to be thicker and blacker than ordinary liquid. The blackness of the
liquid is so dark that light seems to be absorbed into the liquid.
NEEDLE AND THREAD
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.
PORTAL LENS

attaching itself to known, existing portals. This allows the user access to the

+2 to Armor Class
+1 to Strength
+1 to Constitution
-2 to Wisdom
Weight: 0
Usable only by Chaosmen
This strange charm of woven rat tails was made by Barking-Wilder, and it has
been infused with some of his chaotic spirit. When worn, it helps the wearer
shrug off physical attacks and gives him an insane rush of strength and energy
(but reduces the wearer's wisdom accordingly). When held in the hand, it can
also be used to confound others for a limited period of time. This item can be
used only by Xaositects.
ROD OF MODRON MIGHT

SCENT OF THE STORM
Invokes: "Acid Storm"
This is a perfume bottle. A small atomizer is attached to the bottle that
produces a fine mist when used. There seems to be a small amount of liquid left
in the bottle.
Spraying this into the air will call forth a storm of acid to fall upon your
enemies.
SHACKLES OF LIGHT
Invokes: "Chain Lightning Storm"
Weight: 10
Somehow someone or something has managed to transform the power of lightning and
turn it into a solid form. These shackles contain all the power and fury of a
lightning storm and at one time could probably contain even the most powerful of
creatures. Now, it looks as if the spells that have bound the lightning are
failing, as evident by the constant discharge of energy.
Throwing the chains should be enough to release the energy contained in the
chains.
SHAMANIC ROD
Invokes: "Magic Missile"
Damage: 2-5 Points of Damage per Missile

Duration: Instant

great gouts of toxic fumes when consumed.
STONE GULLET OF L'PHAHL THE GROSS
(Unique, Artifact)
Special:
Permanent +1 to Save vs. Poison
Permanent +15% Resistance to Acid
Weight: 3
The Gurgling Stone Gullet of L'Phahl the Gross is not as well known as most
artifacts tend to be; no wars have been waged over it, no betrayals, no epic
journeys into the underworld... only a few moralizing sorcerers, a fat man, and
his stomach.
As the "legend" goes, L'Phahl the Gross was said to have been a promising
practitioner of the Art, a sorcerer's apprentice to one of the Last Seers of
Es-Annon. Despite his skill at the Art, however, his gluttony was the subject of
much ridicule among his peers.
During the last great Massing of Es-Annon, L'Phahl was invited to dine at the
center table, but unknown to him, his peers had filled his wine goblet with an
elixir of turning flesh to stone to teach the rotund student a "lesson."
L'Phahl consumed such great amounts of food and drink during the Mass, however,
that it diluted the potion's effects. Complaining of a stomach ache hours after
the feast, the local healers discovered that L'Phahl's stomach had turned into
stone, yet was still capable of digesting food. L'Phahl lived the rest of his
days happily eating, though his gullet was a few pounds heavier than before.
When he finally died, his stomach was removed as an oddity... and since then, it
has 'wandered' the Planes in search of new stomachs.
To use the artifact, one must consume it (it has the consistency of stale
bread)... so doing will turn the eater's stomach into the stone gullet.
Devouring the stone gullet of L'Phahl will grant the user the blessing of stone
and rock and slight resistance to (stomach) acid.
SYMBOL OF TORMENT
(Greater Artifact)
Invokes: "Rune of Torment"
Weight: 0
Usable only by Nameless One
This strip of flesh holds the symbol of Torment that you have always worn; it
peeled away from your arm when you realized your true name.
The symbol no longer rules you, and you may harness its power to bring
retribution against your enemies. Merely holding it and invoking its power will
summon all the pain and suffering from your past incarnations upon your foes.
TEAR OF SALIERU-DEI
(Artifact)
Special: Permanent +1 Constitution
Weight: 0
Usable only by Lawful Good Characters
This glistening red tear was shed by the martyred Harmonium officer Salieru-Dei
when he was put to death on the Harmonium's home plane of Ortho. Mistaken as a
member of the hated Revolutionary League, Salieru-Dei's obedience and loyalty
was such he could not bring himself to challenge the allegations of his
superiors. At the moment of his execution, three tears fell from his right eye
and turned to stone as they fell upon the flagstones of the square.
Ironically enough, an anarchist subsequently revealed the Harmonium's mistake to
the public, discrediting them. Ever since, the tears of Salieru-Dei have been
considered relics of the Harmonium... and used as a lesson to the evils of
unquestioning obedience by the Revolutionary League.
TEARS OF SORROW
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 GRIMOIRE OF PESTILENTIAL THOUGHT
Weight: 2
This black-bound tome seems to radiate a slight rotting smell, and the covers
are unpleasant to the touch - like uncured human flesh left out in the sun.
Rusted buckles on the cover seal it against the elements.
It is the Grimoire of Pestilential Thought, an arcane tome created ages ago for
purposes unknown, the purpose of which is to teach mortals the nature of evil.
Some sages warn against its use, while others urge it. It is said to grant
mighty magical powers when services are performed for it.
THE UNBROKEN CIRCLE OF ZERTHIMON
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.
THRICE-BLIND CHARM
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.
TOME O' CHEATS
Weight: 4
This is the infamous Tome o' Cheats, a massive libram of sleazy little loopholes
and the like written through the collaboration of dozens of dastardly
power-gamers.
As soon as it's decided exactly how much of its possible functions can be
implemented in the short amount of time we want to allot to it, you'll be able
to cheat, cheat, *cheat* like mad with it. Hoody-hoo!
WHISPERING FLASK
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.
WHISTLE OF WARDING
Invokes: "Anti-Magic Shell"
Weight: 0
Carved of human bone, the Whistle of Warding is a favorite artifact of the
practicing Necromancer. The enchantments placed upon the item allow its
possessor to invoke its magic simply by blowing a tune on the whistle. The
whistle can only be blown one time, for once its enchantment is released, its
power is spent and the item crumbles to dust.
XACHARIAH'S HEART
(Minor Artifact)
Special:
Permanent +1 to Dexterity when broken
Permanent +1 to Armor Class vs. Missiles
Weight: 10
Usable only by Fighters
This blackened, fist-sized object looks more like a lump of burned charcoal than
Xachariah's heart. It is extremely heavy for its size, and cracks run across its
surface... it looks like it might break in two at any moment. Handling it leaves
strange rust-colored streaks on your hands that won't come off.
Something about the object's weight makes you curious enough to study it for a
while; upon closer examination, what you at first took for Xachariah's heart is,
in fact, a stone. As far as you can tell, there is no sign that this was ever
living tissue. How Xachariah survived with -this- beating in his chest is
unknown.
Whatever blessing was laid upon Xachariah's eyes that allowed his arrows to fly
true has left its mark upon his heart as well. When Xachariah's heart is broken
in two, the breaker of his heart will gain a portion of Xachariah's sight,
agility and perception. This gives the breaker a bonus to their dexterity and a
chance of spotting and dodging any missiles aimed at them.

Quest Items
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ACASTE'S SKULL
Weight: 2
This is Acaste's bloody skull.
ANGYAR'S DEAD CONTRACT
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
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.
BLOODY HANDKERCHIEF
Weight: 0
This silk handkerchief has some of Kesai-Serris' blood on it.
BRONZE SPHERE
Weight: 5
This simple bronze sphere is about a foot across, but it is surprisingly light,
as if hollow inside.
Although its basic appearance is normal enough, this sphere somehow manages to
offend the rest of your senses. The texture of the sphere, just the 'feel' of it
gives you the impression it's an egg that just about to burst open -- just
touching it makes your skin crawl. To make matters worse, the faint smell of
rotten custard emanates from it, and it makes your eyes water.
CHOCOLATE QUASIT
Weight: 1
This is a twisted little imp-like creature - a quasit, a sort of fiendish
familiar - that has been polymorphed by powerful magic into sweet, milk
chocolate. Imported from the Lower Planes, they are quite prized by lovers of
chocolate and confections.
CHARCOAL PENCIL
Weight: 0
This is an ordinary charcoal pencil used for writing and drawing.
CRANIUM RAT TAIL
Weight: 0
This is a tail from a cranium rat.
CRIMSON VEIL
Weight: 0
This is a beautiful crimson veil. Whatever textile it's made of is so light and
gauzy that it's like a sheaf of pure, brilliant color, rather than an object of
dyed cloth.
CRUMPLEPUNCH'S LEGACY
Weight: 0
This legacy is inscribed on a wadded-up piece of old vellum, creased and
soot-covered. It has obviously been much pored over by someone with very dirty
hands. It belongs to Crumplepunch the smith, and from what you can decipher, it
appears that his father was both uneducated and sloppy in his handwriting. The
little you can make out appears to order the division of the smithy and the
distillery between the two brothers, but does not provide detail as to how the
division is to be accomplished.
DEAD NATIONS KEY
Weight: 0
This heavy iron key came from Hargrimm the Bleak, Skeleton Priest of the Dead
Nations.
DECANTER OF ENDLESS WATER
Weight: 2
This is an ordinary-looking, stoppered flask that somehow holds an endless
supply of water. It might be useful for putting out fires or some such task.
DEVA'S TEARS
Weight: 1
This is a small glass phial labeled as 'Deva's Tears.' They were collected from
a deva who was captured during a Blood War skirmish. The fiends tormented the
imprisoned angel for eons before he at last escaped - this small bottle holds
the twelve tears he shed in that time. Deva's tears are said to soothe the most
savage anger... even that of a fiend's tongue.
DECANTER OF ENDLESS WATER
Weight: 2
This is an ordinary-looking, stoppered flask that somehow holds an endless
supply of water. You know the command word for this item - "Nildenosaj" - and
you're confident you can put out most any fire, no matter how intense.
NOTE: This item can only be used through dialogue with an object or creature.
DODECAHEDRON
Weight: 2
This heavy dodecahedron - about the size of both your fists balled together -
seems inexplicably familiar to you. It texture is cold and smooth, but whether
it's metal or stone, you cannot tell. A certain, almost intangible 'tension'
runs over the object, as if it were ready to spring into the air at any moment.
DREAM CAGE
Weight: 0
This is a fine-wrought birdcage adorned with razors that you obtained from
Coaxmetal the Golem. You are supposed to take it back to Nihl Xander for use in
the Dream Builder.
DREAM KEY
Weight: 0
This is a simple, black feather, used to operate the Dream Builder in the Great
Foundry.
DREAM PILLOW
Weight: 1
This small embroidered pillow came from a coffin at the Coffin-Maker's
establishment.
DREAM VIAL
Weight: 0
This vial contains scrapings of skin and some of your blood, to be used in
powering the Dream Builder of Nihl Xander.
DUSTMAN COSTUME
Weight: 5
This is a well-crafted replica of the dull black robes commonly worn by members
of the Dustmen faction. Unlike a true Dustman's robes, however, it is made of
fine materials and lined with silken padding.
ELIXIR OF HORRIFIC SEPARATION
Weight: 1
This vial of Elixir of Horrific Separation was compounded by a scholar who'd
found she possessed a darker half - a side of her which took control, at times,
and bade her do awful things. This potion was to have 'split' the darker half
away from her, creating two separate beings. Mercykillers, however, found and
executed her for a string of depraved murders before she could use it.
Unless the imbiber is actually more than one being existing within a single
body - possessed by a fiend, for instance - the elixir will have no effect.
EMBALMING ROOM KEY
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.
NOTE: When using keys in Torment, you only need to have them in your inventory
to unlock a door. In some cases, the key will vanish after it is used... this is
done when the key is no longer needed and frees up your inventory slots for
other, more important items.
FESTHALL ROOM KEY
Weight: 0
This is the key to a room within the Civic Festhall.
FIEND'S TONGUE
Weight: 2
This is a fiend's silvery tongue floating in a jar of brine. It's said that,
once placed into the mouth of any living thing, it will give the ability of
speech, even if there was none before.
FIN ANDLYE'S NOTES
Weight: 1
These are the notes of the deceased linguist Fin Andlye. They are composed of
his research into the language of the Uyo.
FINAM'S BOOK
Weight: 1
This is the research journal of a linguist named Finam.
FINGER-BONE
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.
FINGER BONE KEY
Weight: 0
This key is fashioned from a human finger, cunningly fitted with grooves,
flanges, and rings. The lock that would take this key would be complicated
indeed.
FORGE HAMMER
Weight: 4
A hammer used to beat heated iron ore into shape. It's very heavy.
FROST-ALE MUG
Weight: 2
This large, pewter ale stein is of unusual manufacture, its surface etched with
strange runes. It keeps its contents icy cold, whatever the surrounding
temperature.
FROST-ALE MUG WITH DARK BIRD
Weight: 3
This large, pewter ale stein is of unusual manufacture, its surface etched with
strange runes. It keeps its contents icy cold, whatever the surrounding
temperature. Currently, it's holding a Dark Bird of Ocanthus - a shard of black
ice from an exhibit in Yvana's Galleria in the Clerk's Ward.
GILTSPUR'S HANDBILL
Weight: 1
This is the handbill Giltspur asked you to deliver to Scofflaw Penn for
printing. It's nothing special. It's a little promotional note for Giltspur's
auctioneering services:
"COME ONE, COME ALL TO GILTSPUR'S AUCTION"
And so forth.. It's not much to read, but it certainly reflects his personality
accurately.
GILTSPUR'S NOTE
Weight: 1
This is the note Giltspur has asked you to deliver to Keldor of Durian, in the
Great Foundry. It looks like it's a private note, but you don't seem to have any
scruples about reading it.
Upon further examination, it appears that it's just a bill for Giltspur's
promotional services. You're a little disappointed that it's not something more
exciting.
GILTSPUR'S POSTING BILL
Weight: 1
This is the handbill Giltspur asked you to deliver to Barkis at the Smoldering
Corpse Bar. It's a copy of the bill Penn printed up for him. Giltspur must be
hard up for messengers if he'll pay you two hundred coins for this.
GODSMAN COSTUME
Weight: 5
These are well-crafted replicas of the plain, sturdy clothes and work-boots that
make up the typical Godsman's working garb. Unlike a true Godsman's clothes,
however, these are made of fine materials and lined with silken padding.
GODSMAN RECEIPT
Weight: 0
A receipt stamped with the symbol of the Godsmen. Probably redeemable at the
Great Foundry.
GODSMAN TOKEN
Weight: 0
The bearer of this token - a brass coin embossed with the seal of the Believers
of the Source - has proven himself to the Godsmen. It is a symbol of trust, and
as such, it allows its bearer into the portions of the Foundry that are normally
off-limits except to the high-ups of the faction. Guard it carefully.
GORGON SALVE
Weight: 1
A small bottle labeled as 'Gorgon Salve.' Smeared onto the surface of any being
turned to stone, it will revert them to flesh.
HANDKERCHIEF
Weight: 0
This is an unremarkable silk handkerchief.
HARGRIMM'S SKULL
Weight: 2
Nothing remarkable about it, really. Without the headdress, it looks like just
another skull.
IANNIS'S VAULT KEY
Weight: 0
This thick metal key looks like it may unlock the vaults in the advocate's
office.
INK-FILLED TANKARD
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.
IRON ORE
Weight: 5
A lump of iron ore.
JUNK
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.
KESTER'S LEGACY
Weight: 0
This legacy is inscribed on a carefully-folded piece of well-tended, old vellum.
It belongs to Kester the distiller, and from what you can decipher, it appears
that his father was both uneducated and sloppy in his handwriting. The little
you can make out appears to suggest that the two brothers devote themselves to
increasing their wealth by building the businesses... and here the ink smudges
into unreadability. The rest of the document does not provide detail as to how
the division is to be accomplished.
KEYS TO DOLORA'S HEART
Weight: 0
This pair of keys is attached to a key-chain from which a heart-shaped charm
dangles. The surface of the heart is inscribed with hundreds of tiny numbers,
and the word 'DOLORA.'
LEATHER APRON
Weight: 5
This looks to be a heavy apron made from hide of some creature. Aprons such as
these are used to protect workers clothes from the heat of the forge.
LINGUIST'S ASHES
Weight: 3
This is an urn full of ashes and charred bits of bone. Etched into the base of
the urn are the words 'Fin Andlye - Beloved Husband, Father, and Scholar of One
Hundred Languages.'
LOAN DOCUMENT
Weight: 0
This document shows that Trist's loan from Byron Pikit was paid in full.
LOVE LETTER
Weight: 0
This is a passionate, steamy, and rather graphic love letter. Who it's to and
whom it's from, however, are quite vague.
LUMP OF OBSIDIAN
Weight: 1
This is a chunk of rough obsidian, recently burnt by Avernus' fires.
MEBBETH'S WASH
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
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
Weight: 0
This is a large, unimaginative iron key. For some reason, its somber appearance
reminds you of the Mortuary.
NOTE: When using keys in Torment, you only need to have them in your inventory
to unlock a door. In some cases, the key will vanish after it is used... this is
done when the key is no longer needed and frees up your inventory slots for
other, more important items.
MORTUARY SANCTUM KEY
Weight: 1
This heavy key is a strange fusion of bone and an unidentifiable blood-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.
NOTE: When using keys in Torment, you only need to have them in your inventory
to unlock a door. In some cases, the key will vanish after it is used... this is
done when the key is no longer needed and frees up your inventory slots for
other, more important items.
ORNATE BOX
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.
PHINEAS' KEY
Weight: 0
This is the key to Phineas' basement at the Office of Vermin and Disease
Control.
PRAYER BEADS
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
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.
NOTE: When using keys in Torment, you only need to have them in your inventory
to unlock a door. In some cases, the key will vanish after it is used... this is
done when the key is no longer needed and frees up your inventory slots for
other, more important items.
PROMISSORY NOTE
Weight: 0
This is a promissary note in the amount of one thousand copper commons that the
possessor can collect upon from the Brothel of Slating Intellectual Lusts. Ecco
gave it to you in order to purchase the Deva's Tears with; it's doubtful you
could do anything else with it.
QUINT'S POISON CHARM
Special: Cures Poison
Weight: 1
This is a necklace made of pointed teeth. Examining it more closely, you see
that each of the teeth has been hollowed out, as if it could carry a small
amount of liquid.
It is Quint's poison charm. When used it has the ability to cure various types
of poisons.
RAVEL'S GRAY HAIR
Weight: 0
This is one of Ravel's long gray hairs; it's so old, it looks like her normally
gray hair is turning an even whiter shade of gray. It must be a few feet long...
and it looks pretty tough, to boot.
SCENTED VEIL
Weight: 0
This is a beautiful perfumed, crimson veil. Whatever textile it's made of is so
light and gauzy that it's like a sheaf of pure, brilliant color, rather than an
object of dyed cloth. More remarkable than the veil's appearance, though, is its
scent - doubtlessly one of the most intensely exotic and arousing aromas you
have ever had the pleasure of inhaling.
SCROLL OF EVIDENCE
Weight: 0
This is a scroll listing the criminal activities of Byron Pikit.
SKIN OF REGRETS
Weight: 1
This is a scrap of your flesh with a regret inscribed upon it. It is a small,
tattered thing, but just looking at it makes you feel uncomfortable. It has a
strange weight about it and feels heavier than it should.
SKULL OF MANTUOK
Weight: 2
This is the skull of the wererat Mantuok.
SKULL OF THE SILENT KING
Weight: 2
This is the head of the Silent King.
SMALL RED KEY
Weight: 0
Taken from the Starved Dog sentry in the main hall of the Tenement of Thugs,
this slender strongbox key is ornately crafted and appears as though it might be
of significance to the Starved Dogs Barking gang.
SMALL STEEL FORK
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.
SOEGO'S SKULL
Weight: 2
This skull used to be attached to Soego's body before his unfortunate...
"accident."
SOUNDING STONE
Weight: 2
This dark stone is covered in dust, as if it has been sitting here for years -
it looks like a piece of one of the statues that was chipped away. A tracery of
strange runes and markings cover the stone's surface.
It feels strangely familiar somehow.
STALE MARY'S SKULL
Weight: 2
This is Stale Mary's head. The strong rotting smell coming from it makes you
slightly nauseous.
STEEL BOX
Weight: 10
This sturdy steel box has a thick leather handle on the top, but there's no
apparent way to open the thing - it appears to be welded shut. There are a
number of very narrow slits along one side, though you can't quite see into the
box through them. A sickly-sweet, rotting smell wafts out from the slits.
STRIP OF SKIN
Weight: 0
Usable only by Nameless One
This scrap of skin has been peeled from the back of your left forearm. Its
scarred, gray surface reminds you of a zombie's hide; it feels more like a piece
of cured leather than a strip of skin.
NOTE: To inscribe a regret on this skin, select the "Use" command.
TENEMENT KEY
Weight: 0
This small, plain key is fashioned of wrought iron and appears to be of no
particular value.
TENEMENT STOREROOM KEY
Weight: 0
This plain iron key is scratched and worn from repeated use.
THILDON'S AWL
Weight: 1
This is a well-fashioned awl, with the name "Thildon" burnt expertly into the
wood handle.
TOMB KEY1
Weight: 0
This key seems vaguely familiar somehow... as you hold it, you suddenly know its
purpose. It's supposed to allow you to teleport to one of the inner chambers of
the Weeping Stone Catacombs tomb -- but only if you use it in the entrance
corridor; once inside the chamber, it's useless. If you could somehow get back
to the entrance chamber, you might be able to use it to use the key to jump
somewhere else...
TOMB KEY2
Weight: 0
This is a portal key.
TOMB KEY3
Weight: 0
This is a portal key.
TOMB KEY4
Weight: 0
This is a portal key.
TOMB PLANS
Weight: 0
These are the plans of a custom made tomb. Stenciled proudly across the top edge
are the words 'Engineered for Eternity.'
TOME OF BONE AND ASH
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.
TONGS
Weight: 5
Soot-covered tongs used to hold iron ore in the heat of a foundry fire.
UHIR'S KNIFE
Damage: 1-3 Piercing
Special +1 to Luck
Speed: 1
Weight: 0
Proficiency: Edged
Not usable by Priests
This unremarkable, dirt-caked dagger has the letters 'UHIR' carved into its
handle. Despite its shoddy appearance, the blade is well-balanced.
UNFOLDING PORTAL
Weight: 10
Usable only by Nameless One
This is a shimmering piece of filigreed metalwork that you picked up in the
Great Foundry. It looks almost gauzy. Sharp edge protrude from it. You have no
idea where it goes right now, but it must be important if you commissioned it
for yourself.
All you need to do to activate it is find the proper key.
VLASK'S PORTAL KEY
Weight: 0
A small fragile glass bead containing the reagents needed to open a certain
portal once. Simply crush to activate.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rings
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADAHN'S RING
Weight: 0
This is a gift you received from Adahn when you bid him farewell in the
Smoldering Corpse Bar. It's a featureless metal ring looks extremely thick and
heavy, but it is almost weightless. It shifts as you watch, changing from
silver, to bronze, to gold.
AEGIS OF TORMENT
Special:
+3 to Constitution
+15 to Base Hit Points
+3 to Armor Class
Weight: 0
Rows and rows of minute skulls line the outer edge of this ring. It is crowned
by an over-sized skull with fire-red gems that serves as its eyes. This ring is
the physical manifestation of the suffering of the tormented slaves of Dahnthur.
It was their ultimate wish to gain protection from their oppressors, and with
this magical ring, their wish was finally realized. Even with the fiery red
gems, a royal purple hue continually emanates outward.
ARKIN'S RING
Weight: 0
This ring belongs to Arkin, Sheryl's father.
BRONZE RING
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.
DEIONARRA'S WEDDING RING
Special:
+1 to All Saving Throws
+1 to Armor Class
+3 to Armor Class vs. Piercing
Weight: 0
Usable only by Nameless One
This ivory ring was part of Deionarra's legacy. It radiates a slight glow, and
though it is cold to the touch, the chill is strangely comforting. The ivory
band stretches to fit the width of any finger.
Among the many secrets of the Society of Sensation is the ability to shape a
peculiar stone from Elysium, dubbed "soulstone." While this stone is not as
powerful as the sensory stones, the soul stone is said to carry an imprint of
the shaper's feelings. These rings are often used in Sensate marriage
ceremonies, each ring inscribed with the feelings of the other. This ring was
obviously intended for you.
When wearing Deionarra's ring, you gain added protection from all attacks, and
additional protection from any piercing attacks... presumably, the ring's
purpose is to shield the heart from shock and trauma, and this extends to any
physical pain the wearer suffers as well.
DEIONARRA'S WEDDING RING
Special:
+3 to All Saving Throws
+3 to Armor Class
+3 to Armor Class vs. Piercing
Weight: 0
Usable only by Nameless One
This ivory ring was part of Deionarra's legacy, and through some unknown means,
she has enhanced its power three-fold. Where it radiated only a slight glow
before, it now burns with a cold, white fire along the edges. The fire does not
burn - if anything, it's touch is comforting.
As with wearing Deionarra's normal soulstone ring, you gain added protection
from all attacks, and additional protection from any piercing attacks...
presumably, the ring's purpose is to shield the heart from shock and trauma, and
this extends to any physical pain the wearer suffers as well.
DISPLACER RING
Special: +2 to Armor Class
Weight: 0
Created from the blood of a displacer beast, this ring is able to partially
redirect the force of any ordinary weapon. This results in making the user
harder to hit and when hit takes less damage than normal.
GEHRAISE'S RING
Special: +3 to Save vs. Poison
Weight: 0
This small silver ring looks like it belongs on a woman's finger. It feels
slightly warm to the touch and it has the power to offset poison that has
entered the wearer's bloodstream.
GOLD RING
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.
MEMPA'S BITING RING
(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
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.
RING OF FALLEN STARS
Invokes: "Meteor Storm Bombardment"
Weight: 0
The band of this ring is made of stone recovered from a fallen star. When used
this ring can call others of its kind to rain down upon the users enemies.
RING OF THE TRAVELER
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.
RING OF THEX
Special:
+20 to Base Hit Points
+4 to Armor Class
+2 to All Saving Throws
Weight: 0
Usable only by Mages
This ornate silver ring is set with a single red stone of an unknown type. The
ring is believed to have been created by an adventuring mage named Thex. Thex
claimed she was tired of sitting back and flinging spells at enemies while the
rest of her adventuring party was able to get into the thick of battle. She felt
that the ring would allow her to become what she chose to call a Battlemage. The
Ring of Thex was the crowning achievement of her short career.
RING ZERO

Usable only by Mages
From a Hero of ancient times during the Year of Gii 'on, AC195, this exquisite
ring is smartly carved, with spiked edges. The ring is made of a metal that is
unidentifiable, with a center stone that is ice cold to the touch. It emanates a
strange, royal purple glow.
SERPENT RING
Special:
Immune to Poison
+33% Resistance to Magic
+2 Save vs Spells
Weight: 0
Usable only by Thieves
This appears to be a baby serpent of some sort that has been frozen into the
shape of a ring. Its eyes glitter and swirl like jewels and even appear to move
occasionally.
SILVER RING
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.
TWISTED RING
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.
YEVRAH'S RING OF ALMOST INVISIBILITY
Special: +1 to Armor Class
Weight: 0
This is Yevrah's Ring of Almost Invisibility. It makes its wearer invisible -
almost. Sometimes, for brief periods, the wearer becomes really, *really* close
to being invisible - an event which is often disconcerting to an attacker - and
is thus more difficult to strike in combat.

ANCIENT SCROLL
Weight: 0
Despite it's age, this scroll is amazingly well preserved. Strange symbols have
been carefully penned onto the parchment.
BAATOR SPELL KEY
Weight: 0
This symbol of Baator is inscribed upon a piece of human flesh. It smells burnt,
and it is frayed around the edges. As long as you carry it on your person, it
will prevent your spells from going awry while on the plane of Baator.
BONE-FRAMED JOURNAL
Weight: 2
This appears to be some sort of journal. Sheets of dried human skin have been
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.
CARCERI SPELL KEY
Weight: 0
This symbol of Carceri is inscribed upon a piece of human flesh. It has a
rose-colored tint about it, and it feels cold to the touch, almost like a sheet
of ice. As long as you carry it on your person, it will prevent your spells from
going awry while on the plane of Carceri.
DEIONARRA'S LEGACY
Weight: 0
My Love,
If you are reading this, then the tragedy I have Seen has come to pass. I have
died, and you have remained to suffer the loss.
Know this, my Love... I know why you were forced to shield your feelings from
me. You sought to protect me from the terrible burden you carry with you. The
distance you kept between us was your way of protecting me, and the brief
moments when we were alone and you let your feelings be known, *that* was when I
knew you cared for me. Carry no regrets with you, carry no guilt, for I came
with you on your haunted journey of my own accord, and no matter how death came
for me, I know that you did everything in your power to save me.
Our lives are intertwined my Love, and death shall not be a wall between us.
For my Sight has seen what is to come, only in staccato segments, but it is
enough for me to know that we will be separated for a time, but we shall be
reconciled again. Thus, do not see my death as a farewell, but only as an
interval before we meet again. Carry my ring with you, and these other pieces of
me, and think of me. Keep me in your mind and heart, and that will be the beacon
that brings us together.
Forever,
Deionarra.
DUSTMAN REQUEST
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."
FORGED DEAD CONTRACT
Weight: 0
This false 'Dead Contract' is similar to a standard Dustman Dead Contract, but
the tiny cramped writing on it hides the fact that the signer in fact does not
owe his corpse to the Dustman after death at all... essentially, any Dustman who
signs the contract will essentially be paying the signer for doing nothing but
putting his signature to paper.
MORTUARY REMINDER MESSAGE
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 maintaining 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 this matter would be appreciated,
An unreadable signature has been scrawled beneath the message.
MORTUARY TASK LIST
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.
NEGATIVE MATERIAL PLANE SPELL KEY
Weight: 0
This symbol of the Negative Material Plane is inscribed upon a piece of human
flesh. It smells of dust and corpse rot, yet it feels dry to the touch, like a
serpent's tongue. As long as you carry it on your person, it will prevent your
spells from going awry while on the Negative Material Plane.
NOTE FROM CORPSE #1201
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. Despite
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.
NOTE: If you are ever capable of examining an object further, or performing an
action on the object outside of the world screen, a "USE" button will appear for
the object on this examine screen. This button allows you to manipulate the item
through a dialogue screen. If you wish to examine the diagram on this note
further, select the USE button below.
PENN'S NOTE
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.

RECEIVING LOG PAGE
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
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.
REMINDER NOTE
Weight: 0
"Elsin:
For the love of whatever powers you hold dear, don't make the same mistake
thrice. You're not trying to open the door to the Inner Sanctum, so DO NOT step
on the trigger plate. The first time you made that mistake, it cost you your
foot. The second time, it was most of your leg. I shudder to think what
atrocities you might inflict on yourself should you step on it a third time.
Destroy this note when you've finally gotten this message through that blockade
of stone you call a skull."
SCRAWLED NOTE
Weight: 0
Looks like someone has scrawled a reminder to themselves:
- The lock to the door to the Eastern Preparation Room is jammed shut again. See
to it that it is fixed. I tire of having to force it open just to walk to the
Embalming Room. -
NOTE: To bash a locked door or a chest, select the attack key (either through
the quick menu on the world screen or by holding down the CTRL key) and "attack"
the door or chest. This will not always be successful, but it can open objects
that are stuck or might otherwise need a key. Usually, your success will depend
on the strength of the door or container and your character's Strength score.
STRAHAN'S DIARY
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 about 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 Factol 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 Factol 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 Factol 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 Factol 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

SUSPICIOUS SEALED SCROLL
Weight: 1
This scroll has been tightly bound with red ribbon and sealed with wax. You
can't put your finger on it, but you've got a bad feeling about the thing - as
if opening and reading the scroll could be somehow dangerous.
THE SCROLL OF AGRIL-SHANAK
Weight: 1
This scroll is covered with gold leaf and scrawled upon with an ink that looks
suspiciously like dried blood. The writing is irregular and chaotic, without any
pattern that you can discern, and the feeling that rises from it is of
incredible malevolence.

These malevolent seeds contain a portion of the black-barbed maze within

one. In *knowing* the self, one becomes strong."
"*Know* that if you *know* a course of action to be true in your heart, do not
betray it because the path leads to hardship. *Know* that without suffering, the
Rising would have never been, and the People would never have come to *know*
themselves."
"*Know* that there is nothing in all the Worlds that can stand against unity.
When all *know* a single purpose, when all hands are guided by one will, and all
act with the same intent, the Planes themselves may be moved."
"A divided mind is one that does not *know* itself. When it is divided, it

Inscribed upon this circular stone plate is the Fifth Circle of Zerthimon:
"Zerthimon 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."

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 remain 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."

This is your charred right index finger; the tip has been snapped off, and the
flesh that once surrounded the bone has been turned to ash. It was but a
*touch* from Ignus, but it was enough to leave lingering, blackened, scars on
your hand. To make matters worse, you notice that your flesh has healed slowly
and poorly from the wound... if Ignus were to attack you with a rage, he might
be able to muster enough heat and flames that recovering would be difficult...
perhaps even destroy you? The thought doesn't please you.
Ignus has hinted that this charred remain of your finger somehow holds a
fraction of his infernal power... now passed on to you. To invoke its power, you
must slice off your finger again, place this stump there, then let the flesh
heal over it. When this occurs, the traces of Ignus that remain upon the finger
will 'kindle' a small portion of knowledge within you.

This is the scorched remains of your eye, blistered by Ignus' touch. Ignus has
hinted that this charred remain of your eye somehow holds a fraction of his
infernal power... now passed on to you.
To invoke its power, you must crush the blackened eyeball between both your
hands, then take the ashes and touch them to each eyelid. Doing so will transfer
a small portion of Ignus' arcane knowledge to you, giving you the knowledge of
how to show others brief, terrible glimpses of the elemental forces Ignus draws
upon. The sight is usually enough to cause living creatures to flee for their

This is your charred hand; it has been severed at the wrist, and the flesh that
once surrounded the bone has been scoured clean, leaving only the stark white
bones behind. Despite the lack of muscle and skin, however, the bones of the
hand have been fused together so that the bones do not fall apart. The pain of
having the hand separated from you was almost more than you could bear, and it
left lingering, blackened, scars on your wrists and arm. To make matters worse,
you notice that your flesh has healed slowly and poorly from the wound... if
Ignus were to attack you with a rage, he might be able to muster enough heat and
flames that recovering would be difficult... perhaps even destroy you? The
thought doesn't please you.
Ignus has hinted that this charred remain of your hand somehow holds a fraction
of his infernal power... now passed on to you. To invoke its power, you must
slice off your hand again, place the skeletal hand there, then let the flesh
heal over it. When this occurs, the traces of Ignus that remain upon the charred
bones will 'kindle' a portion of Ignus' knowledge within you.

this spell, the ground shall split open and the victim dragged into the
Tanar'rian Madness. Welcome to Hell.
This spell opens a planar portal beneath a specified victim and drags them down
into the Abyss. The portal remains open even after the victim is swallowed in.
The only sound bystanders hear is the incessant screaming of the victim as

seconds (which is more than an eternity for the victim in the Abyss), the victim
(or what's left of him) gets spit back out of the portal.
(1) If the victim makes a successful saving throw, he will get spit out of the
portal in 'one piece,' but while the victim sensed nothing at first, after a
split-second, all the Wrath of the Tanar'ri will surface. The victim will suffer
5d10 pts. of damage as he suffers multiple 'delayed' attacks and slashes from
all angles.
(2) If the victim fails the saving throw, it is instant death. All that is left
are body parts.

This 'spell' is actually a complex mathematical equation accidentally discovered
by the modron, Enoll Eva, while calculating the multiplication factor on various
linear algebraic formulas. The results are devastating: This equation allows all

twice the amount of damage.
This spell affects a single target. No Saving Throw required. When cast, all
subsequent attacks (physical or magical) will be duplicated once: For example,
after attacking once with a weapon, the attack will be immediately duplicated -
same for spells (cast a Magic Missile, and immediately afterwards, another Magic
Missile spell will launch). This spell will last for approximately 2 minutes

Few know the true terror of Baator, let alone the gruesome Fifth Layer. This
devastating spell summons the harshest cold and bitter ice of the Fifth Layer of
Baator, Stygia, to annihilate all enemies within range. As the River Styx flows
through the Stygian Ice, so it does in this spell as well. Perhaps if the
victims are strong enough to survive this devastation they may live to tell
others about the true terror... but the River Styx has a tendency to make people
forget.
Ice from Stygia is summoned to crush all creatures within sight for 8-64 pts. of

suffer confusion for 5-30 seconds due to the immediate contact with the frozen,

Inscribed upon this circular stone plate is the Second Circle of Zerthimon:
"*Know* that flesh cannot mark steel. *Know* that steel may mark flesh. 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."

"*Know* that the Rising of the People against the *illithid* was a thing built
upon many turnings. Many were the People who lived and died under time's blade
while the Rising was shaped."
"The Rising was shaped upon a slow foundation. Steel was gathered so that it
might mark *illithid* flesh. A means of *knowing* the movements of the
*illithids* were established, at first weak and confused, then stronger, like a
child finding its voice. When the movements were *known,* then the *illithids*
were observed. In observing them, their ways of the mind were *known.*"
"When the ways of the *illithid* were *known,* many of the People were gathered
and taught in secret the means to shield their minds, and the way to harness
their will as weapons. They were taught the scripture of steel, and most
importantly, they were given the *knowing* of freedom."
"These things were not learned quickly. The *knowing* of much of the ways was
slow, and in all these things, time's weight fell upon all. From the *knowing*
of one's reflection in a steel blade, to the *knowing* of submerging the will,
to the *knowing* of seeing itself. All of these things and more the People built
upon. In time, they came to *know* the whole."

Inscribed upon this circular stone plate is the Sixth Circle of Zerthimon:
"Upon the Blasted Plains, Zerthimon told Gith there cannot be two skies. In the
wake of his words, came war."
"So it came to pass that the People had achieved victory over their *illithid*
masters. They *knew* freedom. Yet before the green fires had died from the
battlefield, Gith spoke of continuing the war. Many, still filled with the
bloodlust in their hearts, agreed with her. She spoke of not merely defeating
the *illithids,* but destroying all *illithids* across the Planes. After the
*illithids* had been exterminated, they would bring war to all other races they
encountered."
"In Gith's heart, fires raged. She lived in war, and in war, she *knew* herself.
All that her eyes saw, she wanted to conquer."
"Zerthimon spoke the beginnings of that which was against Gith's will. He spoke
that the People already *knew* freedom. Now they should *know* themselves again
and mend the damage that had been done to the People. Behind his words were many
other hearts of the People who were weary of the war against the *illithid.*"
"*Know* that Gith's heart was not Zerthimon's heart on this matter. She said
that the war would continue. The *illithid* would be destroyed. Their flesh
would be no more. Then the People would claim the False Worlds as their own.
Gith told Zerthimon that they would be under the same sky in this matter. The
words were like bared steel."
"From Zerthimon came the Pronouncement of Two Skies. In the wake of his words
came war."

Inscribed upon this circular stone plate is 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 backs 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."
TWISTED GEAR OF ENOLL EVA
(Minor Artifact)
Special: Teaches User "Enoll Eva's Duplication"
Weight: 2
Usable only by Mages
The heavy gear that lies in the middle of this twisted mass of junk holds the
last algebraic ruminations of Enoll Eva, the recently disintegrated Creative
Director of Rubikon. Inscribed upon this twisted gear is a complex mathematical
equation the modron discovered while attempting to calculate the permutations of
the Rubikon maze. It is likely the presence of Limbo had an impact on his
thoughts, inspiring the narrow-minded modron to think of something both
brilliant and extremely dangerous.
Once "calculated" (cast), Enoll Eva's equation allows all subsequent actions to
be doubled or duplicated. During confrontations, all physical or magical attacks
are doubled - dealing twice the amount of damage.
How it ended up inside Nordom's frame is unknown, but the rogue modron may have
picked it up while gathering wayward items in the Rubikon maze.

ANARCHIST TATTOO
Invokes: "Haste"
Weight: 0
This tattoo is created from the four symbols of the Revolutionary League.
Wearing this openly is not a good idea.
The Revolutionary League believes that all power structures should be
overthrown, and they have devoted themselves to seeing that this occurs. They
are the natural enemies of nearly all the other factions, and so they must move
quickly when identified.
The problem with this tattoo, of course, is that it immediately identifies its
wearer as an Anarchist. Authority figures have a problem with this.
RAZOR ANGEL INK

Usable only by Nameless One
Some of Annah's presence must be rubbing off on you, for this tattoo allows you
to call upon some of her cat-like skills and grace to hone your thief abilities.
Unfortunately, it also inherits some of Annah's brashness and impulsiveness,
reducing your Charisma and Wisdom accordingly.
TATTOO OF AVERNUS

+33% Resistance to Magical Fire
Immunity to Panic
Weight: 0

Weight: 0
Usable only by Nameless One

death. Whether it was the intensity of Dimtree's gratitude or channeling of the
power in the words you spoke to free him, this tattoo now allows you to draw

This tattoo will only work three times before it fades from the skin.
TATTOO OF DREAMS OF ES-ANNON
Special:
+1 to Save vs. Spells
+2 to Base Hit Points
Weight: 0
For some reason, the tale of the Crier of Es-Annon filled you with a strange
nostalgia, which you have related to Fell. This tattoo draws upon both this
nostalgia and the perseverance of the Criers of Es-Annon, granting you a boon to
your health and your endurance.
Artistically, this is some of Fell's best work: although this tattoo shows the
barest image of Es-Annon that you heard from the Crier of Es-Annon, you can
almost *feel* the great spiraling parks and avenues of light through this
intricate symbol. This tattoo helps preserve the memory of the city and the
dream of its people that its majesty might be remembered.
TATTOO OF DEVOURING VERMIN
Special:
+1 to Save vs. Poison
+5% Resistance to Acid
Weight: 0
This tattoo represents your inhuman appetite for vermin. It also raises your

of Es-Annon. This symbol draws upon the suffering of the Criers and uses it as a
shield against harm, allows you a greater chance of avoiding the Criers' fate.

+15% Resistance to Magical Fire
Special: Equipped
+1 to Constitution
+3 to Base Hit Points
-15% Resistance to Magic
-1 to Wisdom
Weight: 0
Usable only by Nameless One
Having Ignus as a companion is allowing you to see flames and madness in a
different... light. When this tattoo is worn, you may draw upon Ignus' fury to
shrug off flame attacks and increase your Constitution, making your threshold of
pain that much higher. Unfortunately, since Ignus' strength lies in his madness,
your Wisdom is impaired when this tattoo is worn upon the skin and your
susceptibility to magical attacks increases.
This tattoo can only call upon its ability to protect the wearer from flames for
a limited number of times. When the tattoo's power is exhausted, however, the
Constitution bonus will remain.
TATTOO OF INSIGHT
Special: +1 to Intelligence

greater chance of gaining memories and aiding his mage skills.
TATTOO OF JUSTICE'S EYE
Invokes: "Detect Evil"
Special: +1 to Strength

of Byron Pikit. This tattoo bolsters the eye and mind of the wearer - it allows
the wearer to perceive injustices and grants the user the strength to correct
them.
The tattoo's power may only be used a limited number of times, but when Detect
Evil is exhausted, the tattoo will remain.
TATTOO OF LOGIK CUBED
Special:
Temporary +3 to Intelligence
Temporary -3 to Wisdom
Weight: 0
Usable only by Nameless One
Some of Nordom's presence must be rubbing off on you, for this tattoo allows you
to tap into his (mostly) ordered and logical mind for brief periods of time.
When this occurs, however, your ability to comprehend the world around you takes
a fall, making it more difficult to learn from your experiences.
This tattoo must be invoked in order to take effect. When its ability is used
up, the tattoo disappears.
TATTOO OF MIGHT
Special: +1 to Strength

This tattoo adds a slight bonus to the user's strength, making his physical
attacks more damaging and allowing him to carry more weight.
TATTOO OF MORTE
Special: Temporary
+1 Save vs. Paralyzation
+1 to Luck
Special: Equipped
+1 to Charisma
-1 to Wisdom
Weight: 0
Usable only by Nameless One
For all Morte's faults, having him as a companion makes you seem more capable
and not so much of a stranger to Sigil's streets. This tattoo reinforces that
bond, giving you +1 to Charisma and, when invoked, it also lends you some of
Morte's luck and his ability to shrug off anything that would otherwise cause
him to stop talking (such as paralyzation or stunning). Unfortunately, it also
gives the user a penalty for their Wisdom... which is not hard to understand,
considering how little Morte has to spare.
This tattoo can only call upon its luck ability a limited number of times. When
the tattoo's power is exhausted, however, the Charisma bonus will remain.
TATTOO OF PRESENCE
Special: +1 Charisma
Weight: 0
This tattoo gives the wearer an edge when interacting with others, giving them a
higher presence and leadership ability.
TATTOO OF RAVEL
Special:
+1 to Charisma
Immunity to Panic
Weight: 0
You have met a creature of legend, myth and mystery, and there are few who can
claim to have met the night hag Ravel and NOT met some horrible fate. This
tattoo tells of your encounter with the mythological figure; merely wearing it
marks you as someone to be respected... and feared. In addition to the respect
you now command, common terrors that would terrify a normal human being now
slide off of you.
TATTOO OF RAVEL'S KISS
Special:
-1 to Wisdom
-1 to Intelligence
+2 to Strength
+2 to Constitution
+1 to Save vs. Paralyzation
Weight: 0
Usable only by Nameless One
Your lips have touched the night hag, Ravel, and there are few who have met her
and lived, much less caused her to feel some emotion other than contempt and
hatred. This tattoo is blood red, and reminds you of the blood that Ravel drew
when your lips touched hers. It may not have been the wisest decision, but it
took tremendous bravery and strength to kiss her. When inscribed on the skin,
the tattoo steels the heart and body and helps the wearer throw off the effects
of paralyzation, but at the same time, it dulls your intelligence and wisdom
somewhat.
TATTOO OF REVELATION
Special: +2 to Intelligence
Weight: 0
Usable only by Mages
This tattoo bolster's the user's intelligence, allowing him a greater chance of
gaining memories and aiding his mage skills.

Usable only by Nameless One
Some of Fall-From-Grace's presence must be rubbing off on you, for this tattoo
allows you to steady your thoughts and take events from a calm perspective,
allowing you to gain more experience from your encounters. Furthermore, this
tattoo helps calm the mind and allows you to control your impulsiveness, panic
and harness your adrenaline rush to shrug off spells, paralyzation, and any
other attacks that rely on chance to pierce your defenses.
TATTOO OF SEBASTION'S END
Invokes: "Flamewalk"
Weight: 0
This tattoo tells of your betrayal of Sebastion's intentions to Grosuk the
abishai. This tattoo draws upon that experience, allowing you to enhance the
barest trace of the abishai's evil gratitude and magnify it. When inscribed on
the skin, this tattoo has the power to radiate heat away from the body.
Much like the gratitude of any baatezu, this tattoo's power is limited. When its
power is exhausted, it will vanish without a trace.
TATTOO OF SENSATION
Special:
+1 to Damage with all Attacks
+5% to Damage from All Physical Attacks
THAC0: +1
Weight: 0
Usable only by Sensates
This tattoo enhances the player's senses; as a side effect, the wearer can use
their enhanced senses to pinpoint a target's vulnerable points and inflict more
damage. Unfortunately, the tattoo also enhances any sensations of pain the
wearer feels, so he takes more damage from physical attacks.

Grants Experience Points when invoked
Grants permanent +3% Pick Pocket Skill when invoked
+5% Pick Pocket Skill Bonus when worn
Weight: 0
Usable only by Nameless One
Usable only by Thieves
This tattoo came from the severed arm you found in the Dismembered Crypt.

incarnations... the symbols and tales are unfamiliar to you, but it seems to
tell of a time when you lived as a thief on Sigil's streets, before being driven
down into the catacombs because of your thieving nature.
In activating the tattoo, some of the memories of living on Sigil's streets will
return to you, giving you more experience. Furthermore, it will give you a
permanent bonus to your pick pocket skill. Even when the tattoo is invoked and
the experience has been gained, however, the tattoo and the pick pocket bonus
will remain.

TATTOO OF TENEMENT SHADOWS
Special: +15% Stealth Skill Bonus
Weight: 0
Usable only by Thieves
This tattoo tells of your experiences in escaping the Tenement of the Starved
Dogs; the tattoo has the same color as the Adder's Tear which Sybil gave you. It
gives you an additional bonus to stealth as long as it is inscribed on your
flesh.
TATTOO OF THE ANARCHISTS
Special: Causes Confusion
Weight: 0
This tattoo is created from the four symbols of the Revolutionary League.
Wearing this openly is not a good idea.
The Revolutionary League believes that all power structures should be
overthrown, and they have devoted themselves to seeing that this occurs. They
are the natural enemies of nearly all the other factions, and so they must move
quickly when identified. The problem with this tattoo, of course, is that it
immediately identifies its wearer as an Anarchist. Authority figures have a
problem with this.
This tattoo creates confusion in the enemies of the Anarchist, lasting up to
30 seconds.

Weight: 0
Usable only by Mages
Usable only by Nameless One

echoes the terrible sensation that flooded you when you called upon the power
within the maze... and the Trigits answered in their own speech, something that
impressed Ravel herself. This tattoo allows you to call upon that power again
for a limited period of time and use it protect yourself against your enemies;
it seems that enemies of you are enemies of Ravel AND the Trigits...
This tattoo has only a limited amount of power... when it is exhausted, the
tattoo will vanish.

Invokes: "Black Barbed Curse"
Weight: 0
Usable only by Mages
Usable only by Nameless One
This tattoo calls upon your experience within Ravel's Black-Barbed Maze, and it
echoes the terrible sensation that flooded you when you attempted to call upon
the power within the maze. This tattoo allows you to call upon that power again
for a limited period of time and turn it against your enemies; it seems that
enemies of you are enemies of Ravel...
This tattoo has only a limited amount of power... when it is exhausted, the
tattoo will vanish.
TATTOO OF THE BONESINGER
Invokes "Hold Undead"
Weight: 0
You have learned to speak with the dead and hear their stories, even from beyond
the Eternal Boundary. This tattoo draws upon your powers over undeath and
heightens them, allowing you to chain the undead within range with a single
command.
This tattoo has only a limited number of uses before it vanishes.
TATTOO OF THE CUTPURSE
Special:
"Copper Blessing"
Grants Experience Points When Invoked
Weight: 0
Usable only by Thieves
This tattoo recognizes your mastery of the art of picking pockets, so much so
that you may pick the pockets of anyone on the same plane as you - no matter
where they are and whether you can even see them or not. Simply close your palm
once per day, then open it, and it will be filled with a handful of coins. This
ability goes just beyond picking pockets, however; when you invoke the tattoo's
power, you gain an insight into the mind of the 'mark' from whom the coins were
taken, giving you a small experience point bonus as well.
When the Copper Blessing ability is used up, the tattoo vanishes.
TATTOO OF THE DECEIVER
Special: +3 to Damage with all Attacks
THAC0: +3

TATTOO OF THE LOST INCARNATION
Special:
Grants Experience Points when invoked
Increases Regeneration Rate when worn
Weight: 0
Usable only by the Nameless One
This tattoo came from the severed arm you found in the Dismembered Crypt.
Apparently, this tattoo tells of the experiences of one of your past
incarnations... the symbols and tales are unfamiliar to you, but it seems to
tell of a time when you were lost and abandoned on the streets of the Hive,
barely able to make a living robbing and stealing from others you encountered.
The crimes the lost incarnation committed eventually drove him to seek shelter
in the Weeping Stone catacombs, where he survived for almost a year.
When worn, the tattoo seems to bring out a survival instinct in you, forcing
your body to react to any damage you take and heal wounds faster.
If you choose to tap into the tattoo's power, some of the memories of hiding
beneath Sigil will return to you, giving you the benefit of the previous
incarnation's experience. It can only do this once, but even after the tattoo is
invoked, the increased regeneration rate will remain.

TATTOO OF THE SHADOWS
Invokes: "Shroud of Shadows"
Grants Experience Points When Invoked
Weight: 0

bonus as well.

open, giving you a small experience point bonus as well.

Temporary: +3 to Charisma
Equipped:+2 to Charisma
Weight: 0
Usable only by Nameless One
You have met a creature of legend, myth and mystery, and there are few who can
claim to have met the night hag Ravel and NOT met some horrible fate. In
addition, your skills of speech and presence actually stirred Ravel's heart,
marking you as a master of flattery. Although merely wearing it heightens your

limited number of times.
When the tattoo's charisma bonus ability is used up, the tattoo will remain.

+10% Resistance to Cold when worn
+10% Resistance to Magical Cold when worn
+1 to Armor Class when worn
-1 to Charisma when worn
Weight: 0
Usable only by Nameless One
This tattoo came from the severed arm you found in the Dismembered Crypt.
Apparently, this tattoo tells of the experiences of one of your past
incarnations... the symbols and tales are unfamiliar to you, but it seems to
tell of a time when the catacombs beneath Sigil's streets were your second home.
It tells of you travelling down into the tombs, living in darkness, and coming
to learn the nature of why the stones beneath Sigil weep.
When worn, the tattoo makes you more resilient to cold and hardens your body,
giving your skin the texture and strength of the weeping stone walls. In so
doing, however, it also gives you a hungry gaunt look, as if you are starving.
If you choose to tap into the tattoo's power, some of the memories of living
beneath Sigil will return to you, giving you the benefit of the previous
incarnation's experience. It can only do this once, but even after the tattoo is
invoked, the resistance to cold and the bonus to your armor class will remain.
TATTOO OF TRIST

+1 to Armor Class when worn
+5% Stealth Skill Bonus when worn
-1 to Charisma when worn
Usable only by Nameless One
Usable only by Thieves
This tattoo came from the severed arm you found in the Dismembered Crypt.
Apparently, this tattoo tells of the experiences of one of your past
incarnations... the symbols and tales are unfamiliar to you, but it seems to
tell of a time when you were seeking shelter beneath the catacombs and were
forced to live as a shadow might, hiding from detection by the Sigil authorities
and trying to conceal yourself from the more dangerous inhabitants of the
Weeping Stone catacombs.
When worn, the tattoo makes concealing yourself easier; it allows you to shape
the shadows around you like a cloak. This makes it harder for your enemies to
hurt you when they see you and harder for you to find when you don't wish to be
seen. It lends you a sinister appearance, however, which will cause many to shun
you.
If you choose to tap into the tattoo's power, some of the memories of hiding
beneath Sigil will return to you, giving you the benefit of the previous
incarnation's experience. It can only do this once, but even after the tattoo is
invoked, the ability to shape shadows around you will remain.
THE NUMBER OF KU'U YIN
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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INGRESS' TEETH
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.

MORTE'S BITE
(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. As long as his
quick weapon slots are not all filled, Morte can always select bite as his
current weapon.
NOTE: Morte's bite is his default attack. Although the amount of damage he can
do with his bite is relatively small, it allows him to attack quickly, which can
infuriate any mage who's trying to cast a spell.

Damage: 1-6 Slashing
Enchanted: +1
Special:
3-8 Fire Damage
Immunity to Fire
Speed: 4
Weight: 1
Proficiency: Fists
Usable only by Morte
These teeth look more like lumps of charred bones than actual teeth. Although
their origin is unknown, it can be deduced that they were taken from some fire
breathing creature. Using the teeth grants the wearer certain benefits normally
possessed by such creatures.
TEETH OF THE VIPER
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.

"You now have a better understanding of what is going on..."
A GOODY!
Weight: 0
It looks like a small stone rod of some sort. Interesting, but useless.
A MAGIC ITEM!
Weight: 0
It's something, but Baator be damned if you can figure out what. It does radiate
magic however.
BAG OF COINS
Weight: 0
A small bag filled with some strange coins. The coins have unusual pictures and
writing on them. They don't appear to be of any value.
BLANK JOURNAL
Weight: 4
This is a rather unremarkable book. Its pages are blank.
CHALK
Weight: 0
An ordinary piece of chalk.
CHEESE
Weight: 0
This is a piece of cheese.
CLEANING RAGS
Weight: 1
This damp mass of rags look like it's been used to mop up blood and other less
savory bodily fluids.
COBBLESTONE
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.
COPPER-EYES DEAD CONTRACT
Weight: 0
You obtained this blank contract from Copper-Eyes, and it has a faint metallic
smell about it. 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 an
as-of-yet unnamed signer. In exchange for thirty copper pieces, the signer gives
away the rights to his corpse to the Dustmen, presumably so that they can use
him as a worker in the Mortuary.
CRANIUM RAT TAILS
Weight: 0
This is a collection of cranium rat tails.
DEAD LIM-LIM
Weight: 5
This tiny corpse was your pet Lim-Lim... whatever forces are at work on the
Negative Material Plane, it didn't allow the Lim-Lim to survive here.
FALL-FROM-GRACE'S DIARY
Weight: 1
This book looks like it is made from paper-thin silver sheets. The engraving of
a woman is on the cover of the text, and there is a small lock on the side of
the book. No matter how you try, the lock resists your attempts to open it.
GOLD INGOT
Weight: 15
This is a gold ingot. It weighs a ton, but if it's worth its weight in gold...
INKWELL
Weight: 1
This small, ceramic inkwell and quill pen are common tools among scribes and
scholars.
INTESTINES
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.
LEATHER PURSE
Weight: 0
This is common leather pouch used to store coins and other valuables.
LEATHER STRAP
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.
PARCHMENT
Weight: 0
This is an ordinary blank sheet of parchment.
PENDANT OF YEMETH
Weight: 1
The Pendant of Yemeth is constructed of some silvery metal. Six crystals radiate
from the skull in a circle, forming a crown of sorts. A leather lanyard is
looped though an eyehole attached to the top of the skull.
The item is named for its creator, a sorcerer of a by-gone age. Though Yemeth's
power was great, time began to take its toll on him; he began to grow weak and
sodden. The Pendant was commissioned by the dying wizard to serve as a vessel
for souls -- souls which Yemeth himself would draw from dying mortals, and later
use to power his waning life-force. Yemeth was eventually slain in a battle,
destroyed utterly, and the Pendant was lost. Sages said that, even if the
Pendant were to be recovered, no mortal knows the secrets of its use.
PET LIM-LIM

This is your pet Lim-Lim.
POISON CHEESE
Weight: 0
This cheese has been laced with a powerful poison.

A small bag made of some unidentifiable material.
RAGS
Weight: 1
This thick mass of rags look as if they were torn from a tapestry or someone's
robes.
SOEGO'S DUSTMAN HOLY SYMBOL
Weight: 1
This holy symbol used to belong to the Dustman Soego. The symbol is of heavy
iron, designed to be wrapped around the wearer's wrist with a series of small,
tightly linked chains. The symbol itself reminds you of a screaming face.
SKULL
Weight: 2
This is a generic human skull. It is not as talkative as Morte, but perhaps
that's just as well.
STONE LIM-LIM
Weight: 10
This was your pet Lim-Lim that you had Marissa turn to stone with her petrifying
glance. It weighs at least twice as much as it did before. Its tiny, smiling
mouth has been forever transfixed in such a manner that you can practically hear
it gleeful chirp: 'Piyo!'
WERERAT SKULL
Weight: 2
This is a wererat skull. Man, are they ugly critters.
XACHARIAH'S LIVER
Weight: 3
Xachariah's liver looks like a huge, dead slug -- it has the texture of a
wineskin that has been sitting in a mud puddle for a few years. Enough embalming
fluid has been pumped into the organ to preserve it, but the smell of rot and
the smell formaldehyde seem to be fighting for dominance.

Armors
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANNAH'S VEST
Armor Class: 8
Weight: 10
Usable only by Annah
Annah's vest is similar to leather armor, but it seems more flexible and allows
her greater freedom of movement. You're not certain what creature's hide (if
any) was used to make the vest, but it seems durable enough. Three straps help
secure the front, and a staggered series of bracers run down the left arm. If
necessary, Annah can slip her punch daggers into the bracers to conceal them.
BODICE OF THE GODLESS PRIESTESS
Armor Class: 5
Special:
Memorize 3 Additional 1st Level Priest Spells
Memorize 2 Additional 2nd level Priest Spells
Weight: 5
Usable only by Fall-From-Grace
This is a bodice much like the one Fall-From-Grace, Madame of the Brothel of
Slating Intellectual Lusts, often wears. The enchantments woven into it by
Goncalves allow Fall-From-Grace to memorize twice the number of 1st and 2nd
level spells per day as she normally could.
BODICE OF THE PERILOUS QUEST
Armor class: 5
Special: Increases Regeneration
Weight: 6
Usable only by Fall-From-Grace
This is a bodice much like the one Fall-From-Grace, Madame of the Brothel of
Slating Intellectual Lusts, often wears. Goncalves took great care in enchanting
the weave of this particular piece of clothing; not only does it clean itself
and repair minor tears in its fabric, its magic will slowly heal
Fall-From-Grace, as well.
DAK'KON'S ZERTH ARMOR
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.
FALL-FROM-GRACE'S CHASTITY BODICE
Armor Class: 5
Weight: 5
Usable only by Fall-From-Grace
Fall-from-Grace's bodice is made from the tanned hide of some creature. Despite
its prim and proper appearance, it does little to detract from Grace's
sensuality. The bodice possesses no known powers other than some minor
enchantments that prevent it from becoming dirty and repairs minor tears in the
fabric.
JERKIN OF THE BRAZEN ROGUE
Armor Class: 4
THAC0: +1
Weight: 12
Usable only by Annah
This piece of sturdy leather armor was clearly fashioned for a woman. It is a
piece of remarkably skillful craftsmanship; small metal plates and bands are
carefully concealed here and there over the jerkin's surface, providing a great
deal of protection without hampering mobility. The armor seems best suited for a
'flashy' fighter who would make the full use of the free movement it would
afford them. The enchantments woven into it by Goncalves not only serve to
protect such a combatant, but aid them in their balance and the striking of
their foes, as well.
JERKIN OF THE FLITTING SHADOW
Armor Class: 6
Special:
+15% Pick Pocket Skill Bonus
+25% Stealth Skill Bonus
Weight: 8
Usable only by Annah
This piece of light leather armor was clearly fashioned for a woman. Even at a
glance one can tell it is of the highest quality; every part of it, from its
supple leather banding to its quadruple-stitched seams and padded silk lining,
speaks of impeccable craftsmanship. Goncalves wove a number of enchantments into
the lining of the jerkin so that its wearer is more prone to blend into
surrounding shadows, making them difficult to spot and often allowing them to
pass by others entirely unnoticed.
LOWER PLANES VERMIN ARMOR
Armor Class: 5
Weight: 10
Usable only by Annah
This armor has been woven from the hides of various Abyssal vermin. The
stitching thread appears to be a single white hair (though the type of creature
is unknown). There are no metal fixtures, studs, or buckles anywhere on the
armor... it is composed solely from the remains of living creatures.
VHAILOR'S MERCYKILLER ARMOR
Armor Class: 2
Weight: 75
Usable only by Vhailor
This archaic suit of armor is animated by Vhailor's life force. It bears
numerous minor dents and scratches, but otherwise, it seems to have withstood
the test of time...at least better than Vhailor's physical body.
Blades decorate the shoulders of this suit of armor, and the symbol of the
Mercykiller faction (a red dragon with its wings outspread) is emblazoned on the
chest piece.
This suit of armor is part of Vhailor... destroying Vhailor (if such a thing
were possible) would most likely result in the destruction of the armor.

"Celestial Fire" is the only object that Trias had left to remind him of the
Upper Planes. The blade became an axe in your hands. It is warm to the touch,
and flames have been carved across the surface of the head. The intricacy of the
carvings is breathtaking; they are done with such skill that the axe seems to be
burning with metallic flames...someone must have spent several centuries
rendering them. The metal of the axe is unfamiliar... it is heavy, but it shines
like silver.
The axe looks several millennia old. A faint hum can be felt within it, and the
vibration becomes stronger when it touches human flesh. Not surprisingly,
"Celestial Fire" can be wielded only by those with sufficient strength and
purity of heart. When used in combat, "Celestial Fire" bursts into a holy
radiance that burns any evil creature it strikes in combat.

The person who created this axe must have been mad or a genius. Only the most
skilled of smiths could have forged a weapon using Chaos Matter, the most
unstable and unpredictable element in all the planes.
Stories of this particular axe have been told and retold across the planar
universe. Heroic deeds of men defeating creatures of immense power simply by
touching the axe to the creature and of these same men dying horrible deaths
while doing simple every day tasks.
Zaknar the Simple - Defeated a devourer with a single swipe of this axe. Crushed
to death by a falling boulder in the vast plains of Tabor.
Garkon the Righteous - Struck by a mysterious discharge of energy while fighting
a cranium rat.
Kannas - Tradesman by profession. Buried alive as the stone wall the axe was
mounted on collapsed on him.
Kvry Matterson - A child of only nine seasons, was not only able to ward off a
group of marauding fire bats, he even managed to kill 2 of them!
The list of tragedies and deeds goes on and on.

Usable only by Fighters
This magnificent axe, known as "Blindsider," is truly one of a kind. It is
rumored that it was the creation of one Akyzum Yar, chief metallurgist of an
ancient empire on the Prime Material Plane. The Emperor whom Yar served, a vain
and wicked man, commissioned the creation of "a weapon of unsurpassed beauty."
After years of toiling, Yar succeeded and presented the Emperor with
"Blindsider," whereupon he was promptly put to death so that his work could
never be reproduced.
The various ores and enchantments employed in the forging of this weapon yielded
a new type of metal that is lightweight, durable, and highly reflective. The axe
earned its name from its tendency to reflect light into the eyes of its
opponent, temporarily blinding the target so that its wielder can easily cut him
down. Additionally, its wielder is granted immunity to blinding attacks as a
magical byproduct of its reflective nature.

This giant, axe-like cleaver earned its nickname while in the hands of Oswell
Breck, a butcher who once serviced the Clerk's Ward of Sigil. The chant is that
one day this affable and well-respected citizen suddenly went on a murderous and
bloody rampage that lasted ten days and ten nights. Cleaver in hand, Oswell
stalked the streets of the ward, brutally hacking down every man, woman, and
child unlucky enough to cross his path until the Lady herself intervened. It is
rumored that he suffered from a strange disease that slowly caused his body to
waste away, and it was this disease that eroded his sanity and prompted the
murder spree.
The origin of this instrument of carnage is shrouded in mystery. However, the
various wizards and scholars who examined the discarded weapon after Oswell's
mazing have catalogued the nature of its enchantment. The cleaver seems to feed
upon its victims, sucking the very life force from them and bestowing a portion
of it upon its wielder.

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.

When its powers are awakened and its name known, "Edge of Oblivion" becomes
entirely black...where once just the edges were ebony, now the blackness has
spread across the entire blade. The chill the blade radiates has increased
ten-fold, so much so that it is painful to hold it for too long.
"Edge of Oblivion" does disintegration damage every time it strikes an
opponent...for every wound it causes, it also disintegrates the flesh around the
target area, simultaneously cauterizing the wound as it strikes.
There is some speculation that a Sphere of Annihilation has somehow been encaged
within the axe itself, but again this is only speculation. Given that the planes
are infinite, anything is possible.

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 much 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.

twists and bends as you watch, as if struggling to break free from its shape.
It looks to be made of iron, silver, and any of a number of different metals.
Sometimes they blend together, other times, they submerge into the core of the
blade, only to resurface again minutes later.

Usable only by Vhailor
Usable only by Lawful characters
This archaic double-bladed battle-axe is reminiscent of an executioner's axe;
the axe head has been forged into the symbol of the Mercykiller Faction (a red
dragon with its wings outspread...the outstretched wings have been shaped into
the blades of the axe). The axe itself is huge; even wielded two-handed, it
would require tremendous strength to use effectively. For a spectral entity,
Vhailor must be extremely strong.
This axe is as much a part of Vhailor as his armor, and the axe itself carries
part of Vhailor's essence within it. As a result, it is utterly devoted to
justice and will not allow the user to rest while "judgments" are left to be
delivered. The considerable damage it causes to an opponent is doubled if the
axe strikes a guilty or chaotic creature. Furthermore, the axe itself lends
some of its strength to the wielder, giving him added protection from attacks.
The origin of this axe is unknown. If you were to hazard a guess, the axe gained
its powers simply from Vhailor's belief. If he were to die a second death, you
don't know what would happen to it.

It is not exactly clear in the annals of known planar history when "Hatred's
Gift" was created, but by the bloody trail it has left across the planes seems
to have finally reached you.
The axe exists to inspire hatred in one's enemies and fill its wielder with a
berserker rage. When entering combat, the skulls along the shaft come alive,
chittering their teeth, and the teeth (remnants of fiendish victims absorbed
into the axe blade) extend outwards, biting and tearing into opponents with each
strike.
Once equipped, "Hatred's Gift" cannot be dropped unless its curse is removed.
HEARTGRINDER

A single teardrop of the wielder's blood, applied at the border where the axe
meets the handle, is sufficient to awaken "Heartgrinder." Once applied, the drop
of blood freckles across the blade and handle, giving it a dull red radiance.
The glow from Heartgrinder pulses, matching the heartbeat of its wielder.
No matter what the target, Heartgrinder is a powerful weapon, capable of tearing
through nearly any defenses. Against targets with blood running in their veins
(whether their own or another's -- vampires beware), Heartgrinder inflicts
additional damage, as every stroke also smashes the target's heart, no matter
what location the axe struck.

swing. It causes the same amount of damage as an ordinary axe, but it strikes
much more quickly.

This is the strange blade that the iron golem forged using a drop of your blood.
It is an ugly looking weapon, shaped so it resembles one of the symbols on your
left arm. Black veins worm their way across the surface of the metal, and the
edge looks so dull that it couldn't even cut warm butter. It pulses slightly as
you hold it, like a heart. The golem claimed this "blade" could slay even you -
provided it was used in a place that was cut off from the rest of the Planes.

damage. Although produced in great quantities for the Blood Wars, weapons such
as these are rarely found outside of Baator.

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 it 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.

"Celestial Fire" was the only object that Trias had left to remind him of the
Upper Planes. The blade became a club in your hands. It is warm to the touch,
and flames have been carved all along the length of the weapon. The intricacy of
the carvings is breathtaking; they are done with such skill that the club seems
to be burning with metallic flames...someone must have spent several centuries
rendering them. The metal of the hammer is unfamiliar... it is heavy, but it
shines like silver.
The club looks several millennia old. A faint hum can be felt within it, and the
vibration becomes stronger when it touches human flesh. Not surprisingly,
"Celestial Fire" can be wielded only by those with sufficient strength and
purity of heart. When used in combat, "Celestial Fire" bursts into a holy
radiance that burns any evil creature it strikes in combat.
CLUB OF NETTLES

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 more 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.

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.

THAC0: +2
Speed: 4
Weight: 4
Proficiency: Clubs
Usable only by Fighters
This weapon has a black metal handle that seems to have grown into the narrow
skull that is affixed to its top. The metal looks as if it has grown out from
the skull, and spikes pierce through the eye sockets, jaw and from the skull cap
itself.
The "metal" is not metal at all, but the remnants of a creature's forearm that
punched through the base of the fiendish skull that now bedecks the head of this
weapon. The spikes that have pierced through the skull actually appear to be
some sort of quills from the creature's forearm.
When this weapon is used in combat and the spikes of the club penetrate a
creature's skin, acid oozes from the quills into the target, doing additional
damage. This acid also burns the hands of the user, doing some damage to the
wielder every time he strikes someone else.
The common name of this weapon is "Devil's Due." To who or what event it refers
to is unknown, but it was obviously a painful experience for the two parties
involved.

This hammer bears a wounding enchantment and is much lighter than a normal

weapons in the Encyclopedia Magica. Nonetheless, this sledgehammer carries
itself with a quiet dignity.

This strange item was in your possession after you gave the Modron Cube to the

twists and bends as you watch, as if struggling to break free from its shape.
It looks to be made of iron, silver, and any of a number of different metals.
Sometimes they blend together, other times, they submerge into the core of the
blade, only to resurface again minutes later.

This tanar'ri femur carries the last traces of a balor's essence within its
marrow. Disgraced in battle and torn apart by its fellow fiends in an ceremonial
execution, the bone has since carried with it a vengeful spite towards all of
its kind.
When the femur strikes any tanar'ri or baatezu, serrated teeth bristle up and
down the length of the bone and cause tremendous damage to any tanar'ri or
baatezu.
FOOLSMITER

Enchanted: +2
THAC0: +2

Weight: 15
Proficiency: Hammers
Usable only by Fighters
This war hammer has a huge stone head in the shape of a rectangular block. Faint
traces of gore and blood are on all sides of the hammer's head. The shaft is of
a thick wood that looks too weak to support the hammer head's weight.
This enchanted hammer was used as a tool by the Athar at one time during their
religious persecution phase of their faction history. The magical war-hammer
"Foolsmiter" was constructed so that it did additional damage against opponents
who were particularly stupid. When it was crafted, however, the enchantment was
twisted such that if the user was less intelligent than the target struck by the
hammer, the wielder would take damage as well. For many years, the hammer became
a test rite between rival members of the Athar as a primitive (and lethal) IQ
test. It was stolen from their headquarters in the Shattered Temple many years
ago and has resurfaced once or twice across the Planes.
It is believed that the Intelligence vs. Intelligence contest the hammer once
inflicted on the wielder and his enemies has dissipated from the hammer over
time, but no one has been been confident enough to put it to the test.

Enchanted: +1
Special: 1-6 Acid Damage
THAC0: +2
Speed: 10
Weight: 10
Proficiency: Hammers
Usable only by Fighters
Research reveals that this is a formidable weapon indeed. Far superior to a
normal sledgehammer, this war hammer (also called "The Hammer of Comminution")
delivers a devastating strike that not only inflicts crushing damage, but also
fractures any surface it contacts, whether bone, metal, or wood, inflicting
extra damage...and if the victim survives, it also "softens" him up for the next
attack.
The Hammer of Comminution was used extensively by Enote, a Doomguard priest, in
14 E.U. A philosopher who was prone to violent mood swings while debating
theology, he was known to espouse the virtues of the hammer as a means of
furthering the decay of dead matter. Whether or not what he struck with the
hammer was dead or alive before the blow is open to debate.

the perfectly-shaped sphere, yielding an image that is at once both arresting,

This iron prybar can be used to pry open doors, chests, and even the occasional

for subtlety.
NOTE: To use the prybar to force a locked door or chest, select it as a weapon
then "attack" the container or door you wish to pry open. Although the prybar is
specifically intended for such use, you can attempt to bash open a container or
door with *any* weapon, including your fists.
LEG BONE CLUB

Not usable by Mages
This leg bone is heavy enough to be used as a club. It's not the height of

Although an effective weapon, this leg bone is fragile and has a chance of
breaking if used repeatedly.

Essentially a variation of the standard sledgehammer, the maul has a wedge shape

PHAROD'S CRUTCH

Enchanted: +1
THAC0: +1
Speed: 4

Proficiency: Clubs
Not usable by Mages
This rickety wooden staff has a crosspiece nailed across the top. The crosspiece
is wrapped in rags, presumably to keep the damn thing from jamming too sharply
into Pharod's armpit when he leans on it. The crutch, not surprisingly, smells
terrible, and every inch of it is covered in dirt, sewage and various
unidentifiable stains.
Something about this crutch makes you wonder - despite its fragile appearance,
it has held up rather well; you even test it with your weight and it holds you
up without so much as creaking. Considering Pharod's scavenging nature, the
crutch may have had some value beyond its surface appearance for him. It might
even be usable as a weapon.
POOR QUALITY MACE

THAC0: -1

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 even 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.

Primarily intended for heavy work, this huge hammer would make a formidable

leather handgrip with a thong to prevent losing it in the heat of battle. Where
it differs is in the Eye etched in acid on the head of the weapon, a stylized
sigil of the god Horus.
This weapon is The Justifier, a mace created in the city of Heliopolis on the

ACIDIC SPONGE BOLTS
Damage: 1-2 Crushing
Special: 6 Acid Damage on Impact
Speed: 10
Weight: 0
Proficiency: Missiles
The putty-like globes on the heads of these crossbow bolts are actually dried-up
aquatic sponges found in many of the great lakes of Bytopia. Seemingly
unremarkable to most scholars, these tiny sponges were accidentally discovered
to have the property of being able to absorb acids and store them in their
bodies with no harm to themselves.
As a result, great masses of these creatures were gathered and bred for use as
weapons against fiends in the Blood War. After being fed a steady diet of acid
for a few days, the sponges are harvested, dried, and covered with a resin that
keeps a soft bubble around the sponge. The sponge is then mounted on the head of
an arrow or crossbow bolt and is ready for use.
When the tip of the bolt strikes a creature with sufficient force, the resin
bubble bursts, the sponge flattens, and the target is doused with acid.
BOLTS OF ACHERON
Damage: 2-5 Crushing
Enchanted: +1
Special: Causes Stunning
THAC0: +1
Speed: 10
Weight: 0
Proficiency: Missiles
These enchanted bolts have been fashioned from one of the great cubes of
Acheron. According to many planar scholars, Acheron is a plane in perpetual war
with itself, where huge cubes the size of continents float through the ether and
smash against each other. On the surface of these cubes, legions of soldiers
wage war on each other, swarming from cube to cube and attacking whoever else
they can find. The plane is filled with the ringing of steel and the great
thundering impacts of the cubes striking each other.
These bolts carry a portion of Acheron's heart within them. When these bolts
strike an opponent, they do so with so much force that the impact has the
potential to stun an opponent and leave him helpless for a period of time.
BOLTS OF KESSEK THE DEVOURER
(Minor Artifacts)
Damage: 4-8 Piercing
Enchanted: +2
THAC0: +4
Speed: 5
Weight: 0
Proficiency: Missiles
Also called "Kessek's Teeth," the head of these enchanted bolts are made of bone
and have two long fangs curving out from the center. When one of these bolts
strikes an opponent, the fangs takes on a life of their own and begin eating
their way slowly and painfully through the victim's body.
According to legend, Kessek was a bariaur chieftain on the Outlands who was
forced to watch his people starve during a winter storm in the Cleft of Tears
many centuries ago. Trapped in the Cleft because of heavy snows, he sent scouts
from his tribe out to seek aid from his neighbors, the province of Ohinru.
Learning of the bariaurs' plight, the merchant princes of Ohinru saw an
opportunity to wipe out the "nomadic pests" and claim their lands for their own.
The bariaur scouts were executed and their heads mounted on the walls so that,
"the vultures might feed while the bariaurs starved."
When the storms cleared and more than half of his tribe had died of starvation,
Kessek finally learned what had happened to his scouts. Consumed with an insane
fire, he fashioned a sheaf of bolts from the teeth and bones of his people who
had starved to death. Once he had finished, he traveled to Ohinru in the night
and fired his bolts blindly in the city streets, the name of each bariaur that
had died whispered on his lips as he released each shaft.
Each bolt he fired twisted in flight, hungrily searching for a victim and each
found one... then another, then another. The night was filled with the choked
screams of the citizens of Ohinru as the devourers claimed their bodies.
When dawn touched the city, the vultures fed again. No trace of Kessek could be
found.
The bolts of Kessek the Devourer can still be found scattered across the planes.
It is said that for each victim the bolts claim, that another bolt is born...
with the same hunger as the first.

These bolts have somehow captured the deadly harmonic of Pandemonium and then

the air elemental is released. The elemental will whip around the opponent in a
frenzy, making one strike before it vanishes.

These crotch-shaped bolts have been enchanted with one thing in mind:
emasculation. When fired, they home in on the most vulnerable point on a
victim's body, sink into the flesh, then the head of each bolt scissors
outwards, making it nearly impossible to pull out and increasing the damage
considerably. The name of the bolts comes from the reactions of spectators after
the bolts are fired.

NORDOM'S CROSSBOWS
Damage: Varies According to Ammo
Enchanted: +1
THAC0: +1
Speed: 10
Weight: 7
Proficiency: Missiles
Usable only by Nordom
Nordom's home plane of Mechanus is driven by great clockwork gears. Tending
these gears and making sure they run smoothly are given to creatures called
"gear spirits." These gear spirits have the ability to turn themselves into
almost any tool or common mechanical device... even crossbows. Nordom's two
crossbows are actually two gear spirits, and they seem to have willingly fled
with him from Mechanus.
Their duties are so essential to the smooth functioning of Mechanus that the
modrons have officially assigned these spirits to the various gears. While the
gear spirits love the gears they tend so much, their servitude to the modrons
rankles them, making them somewhat disgruntled. As a result, there are tales of
gear spirits that leave the great gears of Mechanus, leaving their duties for a
while to sample the Planes beyond their own. Most likely, Nordom's two crossbows
caught this wanderlust, and they now piggyback along with him, peppering any
hostile creature they see with crossbow bolts. The gear spirits can make endless
supplies of these bolts, so there is never any need for Nordom to reload unless
he wishes to fire new crossbow bolts.
The crossbows occasionally make small clicking and rattling noises. They seem to
be talking to each other, but their conversation is indecipherable. They're most
likely discussing the finer points of crossbow mechanics.
NORDOM'S CROSSBOW BOLTS
Damage: 2-5 Piercing

Proficiency: Missiles
Usable only by Nordom
Nordom's crossbow bolts are created by his gear spirit crossbows. The exact
process they use to create them is unknown, but there does seem to be an
infinite supply of them... the gear spirits seem to be able to make as many as
needed on demand. Whenever the crossbow strings are pulled back, a new crossbow
bolt is there and ready to be fired.
The bolts vanish after they strike an object or once they reach their maximum
range, then they disintegrate. If they should strike a creature with metal
armor, then the crossbow bolts will actually chip away at the metal, reducing
the target's armor class. This seems to be a natural ability of the gear
spirits.
RULE-OF-THREE CROSSBOW BOLTS
Damage: 6-15 Piercing
Special: Head Splits into Three on Impact
Speed: 10
Weight: 0
Proficiency: Missiles
These crossbow bolts are the work of a twisted mechanical genius. Just beneath
the head of each bolt is a small catch, that when pressed, unlocks the head of
the bolt, allowing it to divide. From what you can tell, once the bolts are
unlocked, the pyramid-shaped heads are carefully fashioned so that each one
splits into three on impact. Each triangle-shaped fragment then tears a
different route through the target's body, wreaking havoc on his internal
organs.
WINGED BOLTS

THAC0: +1

Proficiency: Missiles
These head of these bolts have been carved to resemble a pair of feathered

This intricate metal bracelet has directions inscribed on the side of it.
Judging from the 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
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.
It appears that this bracelet has been forged with a great deal of skill and
care. Presumably it is more powerful than some of the standard embalming charms.

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.
NOTE: This item will work on either you or Morte. Simply place it in your quick
item slot, then use it from the quick menu on Morte (or have Morte use it on
you) in order for it to take effect. When cast, the target gains +2-8 temporary
hit points and a temporary bonus of +1 AC for a "half-hour." The extra hit
points will heal the target if he is less than max hit points or they will give
him bonus hit points for a half-hour.
GOLD BRACELET
Weight: 0
Although this bracelet is of fine gold, it bears no ornamentation or engravings.
Despite its simplicity, it is bound to be worth something to a local merchant.
INTESTINAL PHYLACTERY
Invokes: "Heal"
Special:
+9 to Base Hit Points
+2 to Armor Class
Weight: 2
Usable only by living creatures
This ropy mass of bloody intestines is yours; Ravel pulled them quickly and
painlessly out of your body when she reverted to "Marta" during your
conversation in the Black-Barbed Maze. The fluids surrounding these intestines
have congealed into a slick resin, and holding them is like holding a dry,
rubbery cord. You have to admit it makes you uncomfortable to see them outside
of your body.
Ravel... Marta... WHOEVER that insane hag was... mentioned that these intestines
would serve as a powerful charm; it looks like when they are wrapped around
one's wrist like a phylactery, they give the wearer a portion of your immortal
endurance, increasing the person's pain threshold and armor class. Furthermore,
you may call upon this phylactery's power to fully heal a target three
times - even when this ability is exhausted, the intestines will still remain.
You have to confess, however, no matter what blessing these intestines bestow,
they look pretty damn gross when worn as a bracelet.
MAGUS GUARD
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.
MAGUS SHIELD
Armor Class: 4
Weight: 2
Usable only by Mages
This bracelet is a variation of the Magus Guard. Essentially using the same
spells and glyphs as its predecessor, the Magus Shield is better able to focus
the energy of the enchantments placed upon it.
SILVER BRACELET
Weight: 1
This thin circlet is of fine silver, with a series of beautiful engravings
surrounding its exterior. It is bound to be worth something to a local merchant.
SPIDER BRACELET
Special:
+25% Resistance to all Normal Attacks
+10 to Base Hit Points

Weight: 0
Usable only by Thieves
In actuality this is a living spider not jewelry. When attached to ones wrist,
the spider will sink its fangs into the users flesh and feed from the host,
providing both beneficial and detrimental effects.
TARNISHED SILVER BRACELET
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.

Proficiency: Edged
Not usable by Priests
This is a gift you received from Adahn when you bid him farewell in the
Smoldering Corpse Bar. It's a featureless metal dagger with a gold plated hilt.
It is difficult to get a feel for its balance, as it is almost weightless. The
dagger blade itself is made of some strange metal that shifts as you watch it,
changing from silver, to bronze, to gold.

Crafted specifically with the adept cross-trader in mind, this magical blade
masks the approach of the wielder by muffling any sounds he or she might make in
passing, thus improving his or her chances of approaching a target by stealth.

Speed: 2
Weight: 1
Proficiency: Edged
Not usable by Priests
This feather is ash-gray, fading to black around the edges. It is much larger
than a bird feather, and it creates an unpleasant tingling sensation when held
for more than a minute.
Examination of the feather reveals that is the feather from a Vrock, one of the
many races of tanar'ri that fill the Abyss. The Vrock resemble huge vultures,
and they are often used as socuts for the tanar'ri forces in the Blood War.
This particular feather is believed to have been taken from a Vrock shaman, who
is reported to have died by simply disbelieving himself. Possessed of a certain
mental imbalance and with an odious habit of devouring his followers to gain
strength, this barmy Vrock was rumored to be capable of causing others of his
flock to behave erratically -- much more so than for a normal tan'nari. He
convinced many of his flock to tear off their wings and take up burrowing in the
ground. Other times, he preached the virtues of honesty as being more evil and
destructive than any lie. When he disintegrated, only the feather was left
behind as testament to his fevered existence. Some of the shaman's residue is
believed to reside in this "Chaos Feather."
The Chaos Feather, when used in combat as a dagger, inflicts a minor amount of
damage (about the same as a conventional dagger) and has the power to confuse
any target it strikes. Creatures struck by the feather may be stunned, run away,
or attack their allies.
Most tan'nari consider the feather to be a sacred object. Vrocks will kill
anyone possessing it in order to retrieve it.

Usable only by Lawful Good characters
"Celestial Fire" is the only object that Trias had left to remind him of the
Upper Planes. The blade became a dagger in your hands. It is warm to the touch,
and flames have been carved across the surface of the surface. The intricacy of
the carvings is breathtaking; they are done with such skill that the dagger
seems to be burning with metallic flames...someone must have spent several
centuries rendering them. The metal of the dagger is unfamiliar... it is heavy,
but it shines like silver.
The dagger looks several millennia old. A faint hum can be felt within it, and
the vibration becomes stronger when it touches human flesh. Not surprisingly,
"Celestial Fire" can be wielded only by those with sufficient strength and
purity of heart. When used in combat, "Celestial Fire" bursts into a holy
radiance that burns any evil creature it strikes in combat.

The second weapon of the Godsmen's "Triad of Tests" - "Ascension" and "Reason"
are the other two weapons in the triad - this dagger is slim, perfectly
balanced, and light as a feather. The symbol of the Godsmen is engraved along
the blade, and the entire weapon seems to shiver as if in anticipation. You are
the first to bear this weapon.

Usable only by Fighters
This strange item was in your possession after you gave the Modron Cube to the
iron golem in the Siege Tower. It looks to be a small dagger, but its surface
twists and bends as you watch, as if struggling to break free from its shape.
It looks to be made of iron, silver, and any of a number of different metals.
Sometimes they blend together, other times, they submerge into the core of the
blade, only to resurface again minutes later.

THAC0: +2

Proficiency: Edged
Not usable by Priests
Years of being embedded in the flesh of a fiend have imbued this once ordinary
dagger with qualities best left with their kind. Blood of the fiend has infused
itself with the dagger causing it to feel slightly warm to the touch.
When in combat the user of this dagger can hear a constant chittering in the
back of his mind causing him to lose all self-control making him unstoppable in
combat, but vulnerable to spells.
The history of this dagger is for the most part unknown. More than likely some
berk perished while fighting the fiend, losing his dagger as well as his life.
For now the name is but a description, it has yet to earn a proper title.
GREEN STEEL DAGGER
Damage: 2-5 Piercing
Speed: 1
Weight: 0
Proficiency: Edged
Not usable by Priests
This slim dagger 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. In addition, Green Steel weapons tend to
retain their remarkably fine edges and are capable of dealing out more damage
than their standard counterparts.

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.
KAARLAC'S KNIFE
Damage: 1-3 Slashing
Special: Doubles all 1st Level Mage Spells
Speed: 1
Weight: 1
Proficiency: Edged
Usable only by Mages
The final achievement of one Kaarlac Cragenmoor, this enchanted knife is a boon
to those who practice the mystic arts. Kaarlac, ever one to aspire to greatness,
sought to create a magic item that could retain an imprint of a portion of his
memory -- particularly the short term memory that contained his considerable
spell repertoire. He theorized that, if successful, he could effectively double
the amount of spell knowledge he could retain at any given time. Unfortunately,
the enchantment was beyond his capability and in the midst of his fervent
casting, Kaarlac went mad and plunged the knife into his own chest. His
sacrifice, however, was not in vain, for the knife possesses enough of the
intended enchantment to bestow upon its wielder the ability to memorize twice
the number of first level spells.

"LAST RESORT"
(Cursed Artifact)
Damage: 1-2 Slashing
Enchanted: +3
Speed: 10
Weight: 1
Proficiency: Edged
Not usable by Priests
This small dagger looks fragile, but a series of jagged teeth line the edge of
the blade. The hilt itself is covered with dried blood, most likely the blood of
the users who held the weapon and were unable to release their grip.
Research indicates that this cursed dagger has had many names, the most
prominent of which was "Last Resort." When equipped, the user cannot release the
grip until death, or until the curse is lifted by spell or divine intervention.
Although the dagger is slower than most two-handed weapons and the damage it
inflicts is comparable to a scratch, it is rumored to be able to hurt almost any
creature it strikes, no matter what the creature's plane of origin or its
defenses. One planewalker who had freed herself from its curse actually chose to
travel with it, figuring that in any instance where she *had* to use it couldn't
be worsened by having it in her possession.

This is a dagger-shaped fragment of stone taken from the statue of
Gangroighydron. It bears a powerful enchantment -- each time someone is stabbed
by the splinter, they have a chance of being Cursed. It is most likely that the
fell curse trapped upon Gangroighydron's lips has soaked into the very stone of
his petrified form, and 'poisons' those the splinter stabs with his malicious
magic.

This squat dagger, while ideally a thrusting weapon, looks like it would be

actually hinder you in combat.

The acids of Porphyatys, the fifth layer of Carceri, are dangerous to more than
a body's physical form - they tear at his mind and soul, eating away at his
reason. Weapons forged in this heart of betrayal do the same thing to their
owners, but too many believe that the acidic powers of a weapon created in
Porphatys are worth the risk.

This twisted fingernail of extruded night hag skin has got to be one of the
ugliest things you have ever seen. Its mottled green, red, and black surface is
almost a foot long, and it seems like it was used alternately as a scratching
aid, nose-picking tool, and gardening trowel. Looking at it makes you wish that
Ravel did chew her nails. Or at least had a nail file with her in the maze.
RUNEBLADE
Damage: 1-4 Piercing
Special +50% Resistance to Magic
THAC0: -4
Speed: 1
Weight: 1
Proficiency: Edged
Usable only by Mages only
Created by a legendary guild of battle mages known as "the Scarlet Seers," these
enchanted blades were specifically designed as a defensive countermeasure
against opposing spellcasters. The tiny runes etched into the blade are powerful
wards that offer the wielder increased resistance against all types of magic.
Unfortunately, with its emphasis on magical defense, the weapon's awkward design
makes it virtually ineffective in physical combat.
RUSTY DAGGER
Damage: 1-3 Piercing
Special: Fragile, Breakable
Speed: 2

This simple surgical cutting tool looks like it's seen a lot of use.

player character's portrait or in his weapon slot.
SILVER FORK

This is a silver dining fork. Its tines are especially sharp. Upon further
consideration, it might be able to be used as a dagger, though it most likely
wouldn't do any more damage than a conventional dagger. It might prove useful
against creatures damaged only by silver weapons.

THAC0: +1
Speed: 1
Weight: 1
Proficiency: Edged
Not usable by Priests
The Sword of Why'nn - also known as the Cheater's Blade - looks more like an
ornamental dagger than a combat-worthy blade. Though not particularly well
balanced, it has been enchanted with powerful magicks and is thus more effective
in battle than a more 'common' knife. The Sword of Wh'ynn's greatest power,
however, lies in its ability to let its bearer cheat: by merely holding the
'sword' aloft in a suitably melodramatic pose, its owner will beat whatever game
the artifact's been found in.

Tempered with the lethal venom of the dreaded hook spider, the magical
properties of this blade, known simply as "Widowmaker," are much sought after by
practicing assassins throughout the Planes. The poison that has been magically
and permanently infused into the dagger immediately infects those cut by it.
Additionally, the wielder of "Widowmaker" immediately develops an improved
resistance to poison simply from holding the blade.

This particular earring makes you more attractive, more persuasive, and better
able to infiltrate the strongholds of the overweening power structure.
ANARCHIST EARRING #2
Invokes: "Blindness"
Weight: 0
This earring is one of four, each with its own special ability. They are
designed to enable their wearer to escape detection from the law, or to persuade

the terrors of enemies.

Invokes: "Pacify"
Weight: 0
This earring is one of four, each with its own special ability. They are
designed to enable their wearer to escape detection from the law, or to persuade
others to aid the Anarchist in his pursuit of freedom for all. Note that these
earrings, while useful, are not exactly subtle in declaring allegiance to the
Revolutionary League.
This particular earring allows its owner to overpower its target with a mental
barrage, leaving the target weak-minded and vulnerable.
ANCIENT COPPER EARRING (CLOSED)
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.
NOTE: If you're ever capable of examining an object further, or performing an
action on the object outside of the world screen, a "USE" button will appear for
the object on this examine screen. This button allows you to manipulate it
through a dialogue screen. If you wish to examine the grooves on the earring
further, select the USE button below.
ANCIENT COPPER EARRING (HOLLOW)
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.
CHAINED-TEETH EARRINGS
Special: +5% Open Locks Skill Bonus
Weight: 0
Usable only by Thieves
Perhaps the idea that Annah would wear anything solely for ornamental value
makes you suspicious of these earrings.
Upon closer examination, you discover these thin metal earrings are actually a
series of well-crafted lockpicks. If need be, you can unhook them and use them
to pick open stubborn locks.
NOTE: These earrings will only add to your Open Locks skill when they are
equipped.
COPPER EARRING
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.
CRIMSON SPHERE EARRING
Special:
+10% Resistance Fire
+5% Resistance to Magical Fire
Weight: 0
Not usable by Ignus
This small red gem set into this earring acts like a heat sponge, protecting the
wearer from heat or flame attacks. Whenever the wearer is exposed to fire, the
gem draws some of the heat into itself, shielding its wearer from part of the
damage.
It is rumored that each of these earrings holds a tiny fire mephit inside, and
that they are so starved for heat that they will drink deep of any fire in the
vicinity. This has never been proven, mostly because no one really cares to
investigate the matter.
DUSTMAN EARRING
Special:
+30% Resistance to Cold
+30% Resistance to Magical Cold
+30% Resistance to Fire
+30% Resistance to Magical Fire
+2 Saving Throw vs. Death Magic
Weight: 0
Usable only by Dustmen
This earring has the smell of ash and dust about it and is icy cold to the
touch. When worn, the earring shields the wearer from temperature extremes,
granting the wearer partial resistance to heat and cold. Furthermore, the
earring also protects the wearer from mind-influencing magics and magics that
attack the body, including paralyzation and death magic.
The earring signifies the wearer's allegiance to the Dustmen and can only be
worn by a member of the Dustman faction. According to rumor, this earring helps
dull the Dustmen to the effects of the outside world.
FALL-FROM-GRACE'S EARRINGS
Special:
+1 to All Saving Throws
+5% Resistance to Magic
Weight: 0
Usable only by Females
These are Fall-From-Grace's earrings. They give her a slight amount of
protection from spells and other magic, and like almost everything else, they
look really good on her.
GOLD EARRING
Weight: 0
This simple gold pendant may have once hung from a nobleman's ear.
INDEP EARRING
Special:
+1 to Armor Class
+1 to All Saving Throws
+1 to Save vs. Spells
Immunity to Confusion
Weight: 0
Usable only by Indeps
This barbed earring marks the wearer as a member of the Indep faction. This
earring is the home of an independent spirit which accompanies the wearer and
does its best to protect him from harm. Whenever possible, the spirit gives its
wearer a mental nudge to get them out of harm's way... the tiny counseling
spirit provides the user with +1 to all Saving Throws, and its mere presence
gives the wearer an additional bonus to avoid spells and confusion effects.
Many of these enchanted items were made in the bazaars of Sigil by a silversmith
from Oerth, who had found a way of shaping metal in such a way that it attracted
'free spirits' to the metal and caused them to take up residence there. The
spirit is not bound to the earring by any means; from what scholars have
determined, there is something about the earring that the spirits find "cozy."
OBSIDIAN EARRING
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.
RULE-OF-THREE EARRING
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
Weight: 0
This simple silver circlet earring has faint engravings on its surface, but you
can't make out the designs.
SILVER EARRING
Weight: 0
This is a small silver earring you recovered from the drunken harlot outside the
Smoldering Corpse Bar.
STINGER EARRING
Special:
+2 to Armor Class
+2 to Armor Class vs. Piercing Attacks
Weight: 0
This earring has been made from the hardened shell of a segmented, larva-like
creature. Its shell has been treated with some sort of glazed finish that makes
it look disturbingly alive. The wire that hooks to the ear looks like it is part
of the larva itself, perhaps its stinger or antenna.
To activate the earring's power, the wearer must prick his thumb with the
stinger, allowing it to bond with its new owner. When "awakened," this earring
helps protect the wearer from attacks, giving the wearer's skin the same
strength and durability of the larva's shell.

ANGLE-LESS EYE
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.

Apparently, some modron once foolishly asked a wizard what it was like to be
intoxicated, and these goggles were fashioned. When this lens is equipped, the
wearer becomes "braver," "stronger," but can't see targets too well, reducing
his chances to hit and damage an enemy.

Many tales are told of the arch-lich Vecna.
It is said that Vecna was one of the Planes' mightiest sorcerers, able to draw
life from dust and send it back again, extinguish lives with a glance, and make
the earth shudder beneath his touch. He was said to be so powerful that when the
end of his life drew near, death refused to take him into its kingdom.
And so Vecna died, yet lived on.
Abandoned by death, Vecna became the master of a vast kingdom on a prime world
called Oerth. Neither kind nor just, Lord Vecna's rule was one of great horror
and suffering, and it is said his reach was so great that even the Powers of
Oerth feared to cross him for fearing of drawing his eye.
Yet, while Vecna's gaze traveled ever outward in search of new conquests, he
failed to see his own end when it came for him... in the form of his lieutenant,
Kas.
As was fitting for Vecna's left hand servant, the arch-lich had fashioned a
terrible weapon for his lieutenant as a symbol of his authority. Vecna made this
weapon with such skill it is said that part of the sorcerer entered the blade,
and it was this sliver of Vecna that gave the blade its life and its treacherous
nature. Where once there was lifeless steel, there became thought, intent, and,
perhaps most horrible of all, a voice.
The sword whispered treacheries to the ambitious Kas, night upon night, month
upon month, year upon year, until one night, the remains of Kas' discipline was
seduced by the rippling edge of the blade. Convinced by his blade that he was
Vecna's superior, Kas confronted his dread master upon his Dessicated Throne,
and the two of them fought a terrible battle.
During the battle, Kas was killed, but before he fell, his blade had dismembered
his former master, scattering his remains so that no one may draw them together
again. And so it has come to pass that pieces of Vecna have made their way
across the Planes... one of these is the Eye of Vecna. It carries with it a
bloody, violent history, so much so that many scholars refuse to speak of its
treacheries, for fear the eye will come to them, seeking to add another victim
to its bloody chronology.
The Eye of Vecna was instrumental in the extermination of the House of Hyeric,
once the ruling dynasty in Nyrond. It is said to have been behind the sundering
of the Conclave of Tyssis-on-the-Sea, which led to the three-cycle war that
poisoned the seas of Malhatai and left the oceanic world barren of life. On the
ashen Plane of Ghalentir, it possessed the gentle father of Sasaran, a babe with
the potential to lead his suffering people from their shadowed lands to the
Gates of Paradise... had not the eye drove Sasaran's father to murder his son as
he lay sleeping in his crib. All these kingdoms, all these futures, the Eye of
Vecna laid waste.
The Eye's powers are said to shift with each new owner, but one thing is
certain: no good ever comes from whoever has the misfortune to possess it. It is
destined to betray its wearer at a critical moment, failing him when he needs
its power the most.
GLASS EYE
Special: -1 to Damage with All Attacks.
THAC0: -1

This glass eye is a poor replacement for a real one. The wearer's depth
perception is impaired while this eye is worn.
KALEIDOSCOPIC EYE
Invokes: "Chromatic Orb" when held
Special: Equipped
+1 to All Saving Throws
+1 to Save vs. Spells
+5% Resistance to Magic
Weight: 0
Usable only by Good creatures
This shimmering jewel is actually the corpse of a radiance spirit from the Upper
Plane of Elysium. When these creatures pass away, they leave their shimmering
husks behind. These husks are often mistaken for jewels or semi-precious stones.
Their essence is still that of harmony and goodness, and they can only be
employed by a creature whose heart is filled with good intentions.
The kaleidoscopic eye can either be wielded in the hand or placed in an empty
eye socket, depending on whether its owner wishes to use it for defense or
offense. When held, the user may summon its power to harness ambient light,
twist it, then turn it against his enemies.
When placed in the owner's eye socket, the eye grafts itself to the wearer's
skull and helps shield its new owner. It absorbs a portion of the energies from
incoming attacks and provides proof against all manner of magical attacks.
When the Kaleidoscopic Eye's offensive power is exhausted, it cracks and turns
to dust.
LENS OF CONFOUNDING
Special: +2 to Armor Class
Weight: 0
Usable only by Modrons
This scope possesses a strange ability; it clouds the eyesight of anyone who
intends to harm the wearer, making him seem blurry and indistinct to his
enemies. The Lens of Confounding makes the wearer harder to hit, giving him a
bonus to their Armor Class.
LENS OF INHERENT VICIOUSNESS
Special: +2 to Damage
THAC0: +2 to Missile Weapons

Usable only by Modrons
This snap-on magnifying lens somehow seems inherently vicious to you. You can't
really explain why this is... you have a strange feeling it's looking at you
sometimes, sizing you up.
LENS OF PERSPICACITY

+1 Save vs. Spells

THAC0: +1 to Missile Weapons
Weight: 0
Usable only by Modrons
This powerful lens heightens the perceptions and the thoughts of the wearer when
worn. It grants the wearer enhanced deduction abilities, the knowledge of
spell-casting (and how to thwart it), and also gives any missile attack greater
range and damage.
LENS OF SEEING DOUBLE
Special: +8 to Damage
THAC0: -2 to Missile Weapons
Weight: 0
Usable only by Modrons
This bizarre bubble shaped scope has two lenses mounted side by side. When
looking through it, everything appears double, which makes it difficult to
distinguish which target is the real one.
The benefit of the lens, however, is any projectile the user fires at a target
IS doubled while he is wearing the lens. When equipped, any projectile fired by
the lens-wearer splits into two, doubling its damage.
LENS OF THE BAT

Special:
Induces "Blindness"
-4 to Damage
THAC0: -4 to Missile Weapons
Weight: 0
Usably only by Modrons
Whether a joke or the result of a bizarre experiment, some insane machinist
dabbling in the Art has crafted a lens that "gifts" the user with the vision of
a bat. The inventor must have wanted to force the user to appreciate the
perspective, as the lens cannot be removed without a Remove Curse spell.
LENS OF THE HORIZON
Special: -50 to Lore Skill
THAC0: +5 to Missile Weapons
Weight: 0
Usable only by Modrons
This aqua-marine lens of this scope is a drop of water of Oceanus. The water
drop has been frozen with the reflection of the Elysium's skies on its surface,
giving anyone who looks through it the ability to see objects at an incredible
distance. It increases the wearer's chance to hit, but it reduces their ability
to look closely at objects.

NORDOM'S OCULAR
THAC0: +1 to Missile Weapons

This snap-on magnifying lens serves as a sighting scope for Nordom's crossbows.
It improves his accuracy and looks really intimidating when he slides it down

"OPTIX"
(Cursed Minor Artifact)
Invokes: "Knock"
Special:
+2 to Damage
+15% Critical Hit Chance
+1 Luck
THAC0: +2 to Missile Weapons
Weight: 0
Usable only by Modrons
Nordom's Crossbows are not the only gear spirits to have fled from Mechanus -
Optix, a somewhat older and more curmudgeonly gear spirit, has been living his
last few centuries in an alchemy lab in Sigil. When the alchemist passed away,
Optix moved on to various odd jobs, including keg taps, cuckoo clocks,
metronomes, corkscrews, and so on, never settling very long in one place. His
most recent form, that of a sniper scope, seems to content him for now.
Although Optix is an irritating nag to the two younger crossbow gear spirts, he
*has* studied the physiology of creatures throughout the Planes. The two
youngsters grudgingly admit (with reluctant, strained clicks) that his advice on
how to aim for the eyes and other vital areas of creatures is quite valuable.
Although it runs contrary to his nature, Optix can actually force itself to be
charming to other small mechanical devices... just not for too long . While in
Nordom's possession, Optix can be convinced to 'talk' to any locks you encounter
and try to persuade them to unlock. This ability is the equivalent of a Knock
spell, but it can only be used a certain number of times before Optix gets fed
up and refuses to do it anymore.
Another unfortunate aspect of Optix's presence is that once he's "comfortable,"
he doesn't like to come off. A Remove Curse will be needed to pull him off of
Nordom's head if he becomes too irritating.
RETRACTABLE SCOPE
Special: +1 to Damage
THAC0: +2 to Missile Weapons
Weight: 0
Usable only by Modrons
This intricately designed sighting scope folds up into itself when not in use.
When activated, it clamps into place over the user's left eye and immediately
begins tracking any targets in range with a series of low, threatening *clicks.*
The tracking system gives the user greater accuracy with missile weapons and
makes projectiles more damaging.
STEALTH LENS

+2 to Armor Class vs. Missile Weapons

+50% Resistance to Missile Weapons
Weight: 0
Usable only by Modrons
This scope looks as if it's missing its lens, but in fact, the lens itself is
displaced in space: if you use your peripheral vision, you can make it out a few
feet to your left, just hanging in space.
When this scope is equipped, a portion of the wearer phases out, and he becomes
EXTREMELY difficult to hit with missile weapons or spells. Furthermore, the
wearer is just hard to see, period; it's almost like he's not all there.
Depending on who's wearing this lens, it may complement his personality just
fine.

+5% Resistance to Magical Cold
-1 Wisdom
Weight: 0
A well-known and respected fiend from the Lower Planes, Kalem'Darr was a member
of the Fated faction in Sigil. His businesses were spread far and wide, and it
was said he had a glittering touch, for every enterprise he undertook was
successful. He planned carefully, took few risks, and prospered. Occasionally,
he was forced to collect on debts - which could be bloody undertakings, but in
the end, he always received his payments.
One day, one of his debtors came to Kalem'Darr and told him he could not settle
his debt with coin... but would provide something of greater worth, if the fiend
was interested. The man was a hedge wizard of little power, but he claimed he
knew the ways of blessing a businessman's eye so that no opportunity would ever
escape his sight. Kalem'Darr, both greedy and intrigued, agreed to accept the
enchantment as payment.
It worked... too well, as perhaps the wizard has intended.
Kalem'Darr's enchanted eye soon saw opportunities *everywhere.* Too many to be
exploited, and many others the fiend did not know HOW to take advantage of. What
his "blessed" eye saw, his hands made broken - every opportunity he tried to
take advantage of, his ineptitude mangled. His businesses fell apart, his
financial empire crumbled. He soon found himself in debt to his fellows, who had
little sympathy for their former competitor.
Kalem'Darr, unable to bear his reversal of fortune, finally plucked the
offending eyeball from his socket and placed it within a cube of glass upon his
mantle-piece. Then one day... the eye simply vanished.
It is said the eyeball itself saw a better opportunity as a free agent, but
this has never been proven.
When placed within an empty eye socket, not only does the fiendish eye grants
the wearer a trace of Kalem'Darr's fiendish immunities, it also grants the
wearer a bonus to their dealings with others, allowing them to thread their way
through a conversation and take what they need. Still, the blinding array of
opportunities the eye presents to the wearer blinds him to the opportunities he
does take, reducing how much he learns from his experiences.

Speed: 2
Weight: 2
Proficiency: Fists
Usable only by Annah

any would be assassin. When used correctly this weapon will stun an opponent

spells. To finish the job, the blades are coated with an exotic poison to ensure
a quick death.

Proficiency: Fists
Usable only by Fighters and Thieves
This strange item was in your possession after you gave the Modron Cube to the
iron golem in the Siege Tower. It looks to be a small dagger, but its surface
twists and bends as you watch, as if struggling to break free from its shape.
It looks to be made of iron, silver, and any of a number of different metals.
Sometimes they blend together, other times, they submerge into the core of the
blade, only to resurface again minutes later.

NOTE: Your fist is your default attack. Although the amount of damage you can do
with your fists is relatively small, you can attack quickly and the damage you
do *is* affected by your Strength.
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

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.
NOTE: Many weapons in Torment do similar amounts of damage... but the *type* of
damage each weapon does varies. Some creatures are more vulnerable to certain
types of damage than others; if your current weapon isn't doing much damage
against a creature, chances are it is resistant to it. Switch off weapons and
see which one works best.

Usable only by Fighters and Thieves
Usable only by Lawful Good characters
"Celestial Fire" was the only object that Trias had left to remind him of the
Upper Planes. The blade became a pair of gauntlets in your hands. They is warm
to the touch, and flames have been carved across the knuckles of the gloves. The
intricacy of the carvings is breathtaking; they are done with such skill that
the gauntlets seem to be burning with metallic flames...someone must have spent
several centuries rendering them. The metal of the gauntlets is unfamiliar... it
is heavy, but it shines like silver.
The gauntlets look several millennia old. A faint hum can be felt within them,
and the vibration becomes stronger when they touch human flesh. Not
surprisingly, the "Gauntlets of Celestial Fire" can be wielded only by those
with sufficient strength and purity of heart. When used in combat, the
"Gauntlets of Celestial Fire" burst into a holy radiance that burns any evil
creature they strike in combat.
GAUNTLETS OF RENDING

Usable only by Fighters and Thieves
These leather gloves give the user the ability to use his hands like claws. When
the wearer attacks a foe with his hands, long black talons lance forth from the
fingers of the gauntlets and allow the user to rake an opponent for additional
slashing damage. When the wearer is not attacking, the talons recede back into
the gauntlets...although they seem to do so reluctantly. When the talons are not
extended, the gauntlets appear to be nothing more than stiff leather gloves.
GAUNTLETS OF TEETH

THAC0: +2

Proficiency: Fists
Usable only by Fighters and Thieves
These gauntlets have had many names over the centuries. Some have termed the
gauntlets the 'Gauntlets of Hunger.' Other terms have ranged from 'Gloves of
Greed,' or, among the stupidest, 'the Gnashing Gloves.' The Githzerai called
them 'they-which-devour,' and believed them to be an artifact fashioned by the
slaadi, the intelligent carnivorous frog-like beings that inhabit the plane of
Limbo.
The most common name for this item is the "Gauntlets of Teeth." The exact
creature from which the bones originate from is unknown. Nonetheless, when the
nature of the gloves is revealed, their power awakens as soon as they are used
in combat. When the user punches an enemy, the bone exteriors of the gloves peel
back to reveal several rows of teeth. These teeth sink greedily into the foe's
body. These teeth are not jagged -- they are mostly wide and blunt, but they
clamp onto a target with the strength of a giant, doing additional crushing
damage when punching an opponent.
IGNUS' FIREBALL

Cleverly designed, this object splits into two pieces to form punch daggers.
When properly used they are deadly in combat. The easily accessible levers and
gears shoot out and twist various blades almost as if they were extensions of
the hand. Although excellent as a combat weapon, those same mechanisms used to
shred the flesh of an enemy can also be used for the delicate procedures of
opening locks and disarming traps.
Only the most gifted of thieves possess items such as this. As it takes keen
mind and skill hand to properly operate.

These daggers were once wielded by Moorin, the jinxed. Moorin 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 in 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.

of gold. To further her goal she commissioned the creation of these blades by
the mage Thex Voorton. With her new weapons in hand she was quite successful at
her craft.
Shar met her demise when she was hired to assassinate the very mage who created
the daggers. Much to her surprise the weapons failed to harm their creator,
Thex, nor did they grant Shar protection against his spells...

high in the ranks of his guild by assassinating everyone who got in his way. His
career came to an end when one of his 'possibly next' victims noticed that the
upcoming thief was never without his daggers, keeping them with him even while
bathing. When the daggers mysteriously disappeared, so did Zar 'anun.

purple hue. Along the hilt is carved the word: "Hii 'toh 'mi."

ASHES OF THE PABULUM
Summons Trelons
Weight: 1
Not usable by Mages
Usable only by Nameless One
These ashes are all that remains of a school of illusionists called the Pabulum.
According to their expedition logs, they traveled to the Plain of Shale in
search of the lost works of the Fosterer, a powerful sorcerer who once ruled an
empire where the Plain of Shale now lies.
The naive illusionists were successful, and they stumbled across one of his lost
works: a hive of vicious creatures called the Trelons. The remains of the mages
were found days later by two bariaur scouts and were burned over a pyre as a
symbol of their folly.
To unlock the power of these ashes, one only needs to stir them with the index
finger of the left hand, then sprinkle a pinch of the ashes into the air in a
circular pattern. The smell of the remains of these dead mages is said to cause
a Trelon to appear to serve the user.
No one knows where the Trelons originated from, but they seem to combine the
worst characteristics of demons and insects. They seem to bear an insane hatred
for mages, but the reason for this is unknown.

NOTE: When used, bandages will heal a character for 3 hit points of damage. To
use them, either select the 'Use' button below or place them in one of your
quick slots and use them on the quick action menu on the world screen.
NOTE: Bandages are "stackable" items. When you pick them up, they automatically
stack on top of one another in your inventory, freeing up slots for other items.
If you wish to unstack them for any reason, simply double click on the item. You
will then be given an option to divide the stack.
BLACK-BARBED CHARM
Invokes: "Black-Barbed Shield"
Weight: 0
This is a string of black barbed seeds linked together by one of Ravel's long
gray hairs. This is one of Ravel's improvised charms; when the string of seeds
is sliced in the right spot, the necklace unravels around the caster,
surrounding the user with a black-barbed shield that will help protect them from
attacks and will also damage anyone attempting to harm the caster.
BLACK-BARBED WAND
Invokes: "Black-Barbed Shield"
Invokes: "Black-Barbed Curse"
Weight: 1
Usable only by Mages
This twisted branch is actually composed of three black branches that have grown
tightly around each other. The branches look much like the ones in Ravel's maze,
but the branches have none of the black barbs that covered the trees in her
maze.
This black-barbed branch is a wand forged from the trees in Ravel's maze and
endowed with a fraction of her magical power. By calling on the power within the
wand, the wielder may summon forth a shield of black brambles to protect the
caster from harm or cause a series of black brambles to rip from the earth
around a target and enfold them in their constricting embrace. The wand itself
only holds a certain amount of Ravel inside it, and once expended, it becomes
useless.
NOTE: To change which spell is cast from this item, first place the wand into
your quick item slot. Now right click on wand to bring up the description. By
selecting the abilities button you will be able to change which spell you may
cast.
BLESSED CANDY
Invokes: "Bless"
Weight: 0
This piece of delicious milk chocolate has had its creamy, caramel center
blessed by a powerful priest of an unnamed power of good. Eating it will confer
this blessing upon the devourer.
BLOOD CHARM
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 and 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)
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
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 charm gives the user an overall
bonus to their armor class and additional resistance against crushing attacks.
CANDLESTICK
Weight: 2
This candlestick has seen much use. Dents and nicks adorn the tarnished surface.
CHARCOAL CHARM
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
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.
NOTE: This charm can be used to "identify" unknown items. It can *only* be used
on the quick item menu on the world screen. After the charm is used, the user
must then enter their inventory screen and right-click (i.e., "examine") each
item they want to identify. The charm will only allow the user to identify
objects that are in his possession -- items in other character's inventories
cannot be identified this way. The effects of this charm are temporary and must
be used quickly.
CLIPPED COPPER CHARM
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 of "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 had 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
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
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.
CODEX OF THE INCONCEIVABLE
Weight: 3
What you had first taken to be a rather unassuming book held closed by a tiny
brass lock is, in actuality, bound in strange leathers and enchanted bronze. It
is labeled simply: 'The Codex of the Inconceivable.'
CORPSE FLY CHARM
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
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.
CRUNCHITY CANDY
Invokes: "Armor"
Weight: 0
This piece of chocolate is coated with a crisp, sugary shell. Eating it
temporarily coats the devourer with a magically crisp, crunchy coating of their
own.
DHALL'S QUILL PEN
Special: Permanent +1 to Lore Skill
Weight: 0
Usable only by Mages
Examination of the quill pen reveals that the feather is from a Vrock, one of
the many races of tanar'ri that fill the Abyss. The Vrock resemble huge
vultures, and they are often used as scouts for the tanar'ri forces in the
Blood War.
Dhall used this quill pen all of his life, and as such, it carries some of his
experiences and memories inside it. By snapping it, you will absorb a portion of
his knowledge, giving you a permanent bonus to your Lore skill.
DIRTY RAT CHARM
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
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.
EMBALMING FLUID
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.
FANGED MIRROR OF YEHCIR-EYA
(Minor Artifact)
Invokes "Soul Exodus"
Weight: 1
The Fanged Mirrors of Yehcir-Eya were the hope of an empire.
The last Great Matriarch of the Sea of Black Sand, Yehcir-Eya, found herself
slowly dying. Surrounded by rival nations that wished to claim her lands for her
own, Yehcir-Eya sought to choose one of the Lesser Matriarchs from the
surrounding nations and enter into an alliance, preserving her nation against
invasion. Yet she knew not which of the Lesser Matriarchs to trust.
Consulting her oracles, she asked them for a means of testing the hearts of the
Lesser Matriarchs. They told her to travel to the edges of the Sea of Black
Sand - there, where the shifting black sand gave way to slate, she would find
what she sought.
The Great Matriarch journeyed many leagues, travelling on foot until she reached
the edges of the Great Sea. There, her feet fell upon a great plate of silvered
glass the size of a courtyard embedded in the floor of the desert.
Her oracles instructed her to cut the great glass and fashion thirty-three
mirrors. These mirrors were sent to the Lesser Matriarchs of the surrounding
nations as gifts. The mirrors would test their hearts, the oracles predicted.
No one is certain what happened on that final night, but with every mirror that
was delivered, a Lesser Matriarch fell dead. There were wild tales of spectral
forms that crawled from the bodies of the Lesser Matriarchs as they gazed upon
the mirrors, and the howling cries as they strangled their owners.
In response to the assassination of their leaders, the surrounding nations
attacked the nation of Yehcir-Eya and razed it to the ground. The Fanged Mirrors
of Yehcir-Eya were scattered and lost.
According to several planar scholars, the Fanged Mirrors had the ability to
cause a soul to slip from its owner and take on physical form. Whether it was
because the Lesser Matriarchs were consumed by greed and a desire for conquest
or whether the great plate of silvered glass found on the edges of the Sea of
Black Sand was evil in itself, the mirrors created a vicious reflection of their
owners. Their souls took on substance and killed their owners.
The fanged mirror can be used against an opponent - when used, it will reflect a
spectral version of the target that will appear and attempt to kill him.
FROSTY MINT CANDY
Invokes: "Friends"
Weight: 0
This small, round bit of hard candy makes the devourer's breath so winter cool
and frosty, minty fresh that their Charisma is increased considerably for a
period of time.
GORDIAN KNOT
(Unique, Artifact)
Special:
Permanent +2 to Charisma
Permanent -1 to Wisdom
Weight: 0
Usable only by Fighters
The knot binding the two ends of this rope together holds a powerful magic. When
this knot is severed by a fighter with an edged weapon, the warrior gains a rush
of confidence and arrogance, reducing their Wisdom but raising their Charisma.
The user is also beset with the urge to gather an army and rush out and conquer
the Planes, but this urge does not rule the user's actions.
It is said that this is a knotted piece of rope that was cut in two by a
conqueror on a distant prime material world. Every time the knot is severed, it
disappears, showing up years later in the hands of another who can make use of
its power.
HEALING SCROLL
Special: Heals 33 Hit Points
Weight: 0
This tissue-thin vellum scroll was part of Deionarra's legacy. The scroll is
neatly rolled up and wrapped with a red ribbon. When the ribbon is opened, the
healing magic contained within the scroll is released.
The scroll will heal even the most critical of wounds. It disintegrates into
powder when used.
HEART CHARM
Special:
Heal 27 Hit Points
Reduces Fatigue
+10% Resistance to Slashing Attacks
+20% Resistance to Piercing Attacks
Weight: 0

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.
HEART OF THE FOSTERER
(Minor Artifacts)
Special: Summons the Sohmien
Weight: 1
Usable only by Evil and Neutral Characters
This strange object is said to be the "Heart of the Fosterer." According to
legend, the Fosterer was a sorcerer who built his empire upon the Plane of Shale
many centuries ago. He was rumored to have 3,333 hearts, and each of them
carried in it a different evil he had committed in his lifetime. One of the
evils he committed was the discovery of how to summon the Sohmien and bind them
to his will. It is said that the Fosterer was carried away by these beasts after
he invoked them against some ancient foe, leaving only his hearts behind.
According to planar scholars, the Sohmien are fiendish horses, said to have been
born from the blood of the last of the nightmare lords. They're not so much
flesh and blood as an abstract given substance. They come to anyone who seeks
revenge and bind themselves to them.
They were born from a great treachery at the Gloom Meet, the time when the
fiends gather to speak to the others of their kind. The nightmares ride the
skies to gather the fiends to this meeting, acting as messengers. While the
fiends saw the nightmares are helpful, convenient allies, they had grown tired
of bartering with the last of the nightmare lords for his consent to use them.
So the fiends called a Gloom Meet only for the purpose of killing. They lured
the nightmare lord there to kill him, and when he arrived, the fiends set upon
him. He beseeched the other nightmares for aid, but they only watched, their
eyes aflame as their lord was attacked.
The fiends tried to put him in the dead book - they scattered the earth with
caltrops covered with the foulest poisons in the hells, hurled barbed cold-iron
spears a league wide into him, and when he tried to take to the air to escape,
they turned the sky alight with magick, blinding his eyes white. They struck at
him with everything in their hateful arsenal - but no matter what they struck
him with, he was too proud to die. They hounded him to the edge of the Outlands,
firing their cruel arrows and spears into him until he staggered into the
Hinterland mists and died there... or so it is said.
It's said that as the nightmare lord stumbled into the mists of the Hinterlands,
his dark blood left a steaming trail across the landscape. Wherever his blood
fell, the Outland itself cried out, wailing like a banshee, uttering the cries
the nightmare lord would not.
Less than a year later, the Sohmien rode from the Hinterlands, seeking out any
nightmares and fiends where they could find them. Their cries were the same as
had risen from the blood wounds on the Outlands, and their minds were focused
solely on revenge.
It is said that gripping the heart of the Sohmien and wishing harm upon another
will cause them to appear. The Sohmien will answer the user's call, then fade
into the mists from which they came.
HOLY CANDY
Invokes: "Protection From Evil"
Weight: 0
This piece of sweet, dark chocolate has had its crunchy, praline-filled center
prayed over by the Eoialn, an order of wise, mystical monks from the Prime World
of Irm. Eating it will protect the user against the forces of evil for a time.
KASSEG, CEREBRAL PARASITE
Special:
+3 to Intelligence
+1 to Wisdom
Immunity to Panic
Weight: 1
The *kasseg* are a species of mental parasite feeds on the nervous energy of
sentient creatures. Believed to be a deviant branch of the dreaded intellect
devourers, the kasseg is different in that it soothes the mind and bolster its
host's higher mental processes, taking over certain mundane thinking tasks in
exchange for feeding on his nervous energy for a time.
To "use" the *kasseg*, the user simply attaches it to his bare skin. The
*kasseg* then excretes a mucus-like resin that acts as a means of communication
between the victim in itself. Once "attached," the *kasseg* lifespan drops to
only a few hours.
KNOT CHARM
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.
LADY OF PAIN RAG DOLL
Weight: 1
The years haven't been kind to this tiny rag doll; it is coming apart at the
seams, and it looks like its threads are unraveling. It is obviously intended to
be a replica of the Lady of Pain, but the button eyes and its plush softness
don't strike much fear into your heart.
LUCKY CANDY
Invokes: "Luck"
Weight: 0
This moon-shaped piece of chocolate is filled with tasty marshmallow creme.
Eating it increases the devourer's luck for a time.
MASLOW'S PYRAMID

MECHANUS CANDY
Invokes: "Call Lightning"
Weight: 0
The piece of hard candy is shaped like a small gear or cog. It is
chocolate-flavored with a slight, metallic aftertaste. Placed in the mouth, it

eater of such candy.

Invokes: "Swarm Curse"
Weight: 0
Eating this moldering, bitter piece of chocolate will result in the devourer
vomiting forth great clouds of angry insects.
MIRROR OF IMAGING
Special: Creates 1-4 Mirror Images of self
Weight: 2
This magical mirror creates duplicates of anyone reflected in it's surface. The
effect is similar to the wizard spell 'Magic Mirror'. From 1 to 4 images are
created. Each image is identical to the user of the mirror and may confuse
enemies. There is a chance that an image will be targeted rather than the mirror
user.
MODRON CUBE
Weight: 1
This small metal toy is a replica of a cube-like mechanical creature with huge
eyes on one of its faces. The toy has two legs, two arms, two folding wings, and
at least eighteen points of articulation. Maybe it's a collector's item.
The intricacy of this toy is incredible; its joints are composed of tiny gears,
cogs, pulleys, and swivel joints, and there are even tiny springs on the legs
that help support the feet. There is a little switch on the back that moves the
eyes back and forth, and the wings are made of some tissue-like metal that folds
up neatly when the wings are flush with the body. Despite the toy's awkward
shape, it rests easily on any surface, no matter how uneven.
MONSTER JUG
Weight: 4
This is a heavy, plain-looking, metallic jug with a hinged stopper. Despite its
common appearance, you feel reluctant to touch the thing, as if it might bite
you. You've been told there's some sort of monster trapped inside of it - but
peering into the jug's mouth reveals nothing but inky blackness.
MURK
Invokes: "Blacksphere"
Weight: 0
This is a small bottle containing some dark liquid. The liquid contained within
seems to be thicker and blacker than ordinary liquid. The blackness of the
liquid is so dark that light seems to be absorbed into the liquid.
NEEDLE AND THREAD
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.
PORTAL LENS

This magical device can form a gateway to other locations by temporarily
attaching itself to known, existing portals. This allows the user access to the
portal without traveling to it.
QUIVERING CANDY

+1 to Strength
+1 to Constitution
-2 to Wisdom
Weight: 0
Usable only by Chaosmen
This strange charm of woven rat tails was made by Barking-Wilder, and it has
been infused with some of his chaotic spirit. When worn, it helps the wearer
shrug off physical attacks and gives him an insane rush of strength and energy
(but reduces the wearer's wisdom accordingly). When held in the hand, it can
also be used to confound others for a limited period of time. This item can be
used only by Xaositects.
ROD OF MODRON MIGHT

SCENT OF THE STORM
Invokes: "Acid Storm"
This is a perfume bottle. A small atomizer is attached to the bottle that
produces a fine mist when used. There seems to be a small amount of liquid left
in the bottle.
Spraying this into the air will call forth a storm of acid to fall upon your
enemies.
SHACKLES OF LIGHT
Invokes: "Chain Lightning Storm"
Weight: 10
Somehow someone or something has managed to transform the power of lightning and
turn it into a solid form. These shackles contain all the power and fury of a
lightning storm and at one time could probably contain even the most powerful of
creatures. Now, it looks as if the spells that have bound the lightning are
failing, as evident by the constant discharge of energy.
Throwing the chains should be enough to release the energy contained in the
chains.
SHAMANIC ROD
Invokes: "Magic Missile"
Damage: 2-5 Points of Damage per Missile

Duration: Instant

great gouts of toxic fumes when consumed.
STONE GULLET OF L'PHAHL THE GROSS
(Unique, Artifact)
Special:
Permanent +1 to Save vs. Poison
Permanent +15% Resistance to Acid
Weight: 3
The Gurgling Stone Gullet of L'Phahl the Gross is not as well known as most
artifacts tend to be; no wars have been waged over it, no betrayals, no epic
journeys into the underworld... only a few moralizing sorcerers, a fat man, and
his stomach.
As the "legend" goes, L'Phahl the Gross was said to have been a promising
practitioner of the Art, a sorcerer's apprentice to one of the Last Seers of
Es-Annon. Despite his skill at the Art, however, his gluttony was the subject of
much ridicule among his peers.
During the last great Massing of Es-Annon, L'Phahl was invited to dine at the
center table, but unknown to him, his peers had filled his wine goblet with an
elixir of turning flesh to stone to teach the rotund student a "lesson."
L'Phahl consumed such great amounts of food and drink during the Mass, however,
that it diluted the potion's effects. Complaining of a stomach ache hours after
the feast, the local healers discovered that L'Phahl's stomach had turned into
stone, yet was still capable of digesting food. L'Phahl lived the rest of his
days happily eating, though his gullet was a few pounds heavier than before.
When he finally died, his stomach was removed as an oddity... and since then, it
has 'wandered' the Planes in search of new stomachs.
To use the artifact, one must consume it (it has the consistency of stale
bread)... so doing will turn the eater's stomach into the stone gullet.
Devouring the stone gullet of L'Phahl will grant the user the blessing of stone
and rock and slight resistance to (stomach) acid.
SYMBOL OF TORMENT
(Greater Artifact)
Invokes: "Rune of Torment"
Weight: 0
Usable only by Nameless One
This strip of flesh holds the symbol of Torment that you have always worn; it
peeled away from your arm when you realized your true name.
The symbol no longer rules you, and you may harness its power to bring
retribution against your enemies. Merely holding it and invoking its power will
summon all the pain and suffering from your past incarnations upon your foes.
TEAR OF SALIERU-DEI
(Artifact)
Special: Permanent +1 Constitution
Weight: 0
Usable only by Lawful Good Characters
This glistening red tear was shed by the martyred Harmonium officer Salieru-Dei
when he was put to death on the Harmonium's home plane of Ortho. Mistaken as a
member of the hated Revolutionary League, Salieru-Dei's obedience and loyalty
was such he could not bring himself to challenge the allegations of his
superiors. At the moment of his execution, three tears fell from his right eye
and turned to stone as they fell upon the flagstones of the square.
Ironically enough, an anarchist subsequently revealed the Harmonium's mistake to
the public, discrediting them. Ever since, the tears of Salieru-Dei have been
considered relics of the Harmonium... and used as a lesson to the evils of
unquestioning obedience by the Revolutionary League.
TEARS OF SORROW
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 GRIMOIRE OF PESTILENTIAL THOUGHT
Weight: 2
This black-bound tome seems to radiate a slight rotting smell, and the covers
are unpleasant to the touch - like uncured human flesh left out in the sun.
Rusted buckles on the cover seal it against the elements.
It is the Grimoire of Pestilential Thought, an arcane tome created ages ago for
purposes unknown, the purpose of which is to teach mortals the nature of evil.
Some sages warn against its use, while others urge it. It is said to grant
mighty magical powers when services are performed for it.
THE UNBROKEN CIRCLE OF ZERTHIMON
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.
THRICE-BLIND CHARM
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.
TOME O' CHEATS
Weight: 4
This is the infamous Tome o' Cheats, a massive libram of sleazy little loopholes
and the like written through the collaboration of dozens of dastardly
power-gamers.
As soon as it's decided exactly how much of its possible functions can be
implemented in the short amount of time we want to allot to it, you'll be able
to cheat, cheat, *cheat* like mad with it. Hoody-hoo!
WHISPERING FLASK
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.
WHISTLE OF WARDING
Invokes: "Anti-Magic Shell"
Weight: 0
Carved of human bone, the Whistle of Warding is a favorite artifact of the
practicing Necromancer. The enchantments placed upon the item allow its
possessor to invoke its magic simply by blowing a tune on the whistle. The
whistle can only be blown one time, for once its enchantment is released, its
power is spent and the item crumbles to dust.
XACHARIAH'S HEART
(Minor Artifact)
Special:
Permanent +1 to Dexterity when broken
Permanent +1 to Armor Class vs. Missiles
Weight: 10
Usable only by Fighters
This blackened, fist-sized object looks more like a lump of burned charcoal than
Xachariah's heart. It is extremely heavy for its size, and cracks run across its
surface... it looks like it might break in two at any moment. Handling it leaves
strange rust-colored streaks on your hands that won't come off.
Something about the object's weight makes you curious enough to study it for a
while; upon closer examination, what you at first took for Xachariah's heart is,
in fact, a stone. As far as you can tell, there is no sign that this was ever
living tissue. How Xachariah survived with -this- beating in his chest is
unknown.
Whatever blessing was laid upon Xachariah's eyes that allowed his arrows to fly
true has left its mark upon his heart as well. When Xachariah's heart is broken
in two, the breaker of his heart will gain a portion of Xachariah's sight,
agility and perception. This gives the breaker a bonus to their dexterity and a
chance of spotting and dodging any missiles aimed at them.

Quest Items

ACASTE'S SKULL
Weight: 2
This is Acaste's bloody skull.
ANGYAR'S DEAD CONTRACT
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
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.
BLOODY HANDKERCHIEF
Weight: 0
This silk handkerchief has some of Kesai-Serris' blood on it.
BRONZE SPHERE
Weight: 5
This simple bronze sphere is about a foot across, but it is surprisingly light,
as if hollow inside.
Although its basic appearance is normal enough, this sphere somehow manages to
offend the rest of your senses. The texture of the sphere, just the 'feel' of it
gives you the impression it's an egg that just about to burst open -- just
touching it makes your skin crawl. To make matters worse, the faint smell of
rotten custard emanates from it, and it makes your eyes water.
CHOCOLATE QUASIT
Weight: 1
This is a twisted little imp-like creature - a quasit, a sort of fiendish
familiar - that has been polymorphed by powerful magic into sweet, milk
chocolate. Imported from the Lower Planes, they are quite prized by lovers of
chocolate and confections.
CHARCOAL PENCIL
Weight: 0
This is an ordinary charcoal pencil used for writing and drawing.
CRANIUM RAT TAIL
Weight: 0
This is a tail from a cranium rat.
CRIMSON VEIL
Weight: 0
This is a beautiful crimson veil. Whatever textile it's made of is so light and
gauzy that it's like a sheaf of pure, brilliant color, rather than an object of
dyed cloth.
CRUMPLEPUNCH'S LEGACY
Weight: 0
This legacy is inscribed on a wadded-up piece of old vellum, creased and
soot-covered. It has obviously been much pored over by someone with very dirty
hands. It belongs to Crumplepunch the smith, and from what you can decipher, it
appears that his father was both uneducated and sloppy in his handwriting. The
little you can make out appears to order the division of the smithy and the
distillery between the two brothers, but does not provide detail as to how the
division is to be accomplished.
DEAD NATIONS KEY
Weight: 0
This heavy iron key came from Hargrimm the Bleak, Skeleton Priest of the Dead
Nations.
DECANTER OF ENDLESS WATER
Weight: 2
This is an ordinary-looking, stoppered flask that somehow holds an endless
supply of water. It might be useful for putting out fires or some such task.
DEVA'S TEARS
Weight: 1
This is a small glass phial labeled as 'Deva's Tears.' They were collected from
a deva who was captured during a Blood War skirmish. The fiends tormented the
imprisoned angel for eons before he at last escaped - this small bottle holds
the twelve tears he shed in that time. Deva's tears are said to soothe the most
savage anger... even that of a fiend's tongue.
DECANTER OF ENDLESS WATER
Weight: 2
This is an ordinary-looking, stoppered flask that somehow holds an endless
supply of water. You know the command word for this item - "Nildenosaj" - and
you're confident you can put out most any fire, no matter how intense.
NOTE: This item can only be used through dialogue with an object or creature.
DODECAHEDRON
Weight: 2
This heavy dodecahedron - about the size of both your fists balled together -
seems inexplicably familiar to you. It texture is cold and smooth, but whether
it's metal or stone, you cannot tell. A certain, almost intangible 'tension'
runs over the object, as if it were ready to spring into the air at any moment.
DREAM CAGE
Weight: 0
This is a fine-wrought birdcage adorned with razors that you obtained from
Coaxmetal the Golem. You are supposed to take it back to Nihl Xander for use in
the Dream Builder.
DREAM KEY
Weight: 0
This is a simple, black feather, used to operate the Dream Builder in the Great
Foundry.
DREAM PILLOW
Weight: 1
This small embroidered pillow came from a coffin at the Coffin-Maker's
establishment.
DREAM VIAL
Weight: 0
This vial contains scrapings of skin and some of your blood, to be used in
powering the Dream Builder of Nihl Xander.
DUSTMAN COSTUME
Weight: 5
This is a well-crafted replica of the dull black robes commonly worn by members
of the Dustmen faction. Unlike a true Dustman's robes, however, it is made of
fine materials and lined with silken padding.
ELIXIR OF HORRIFIC SEPARATION
Weight: 1
This vial of Elixir of Horrific Separation was compounded by a scholar who'd
found she possessed a darker half - a side of her which took control, at times,
and bade her do awful things. This potion was to have 'split' the darker half
away from her, creating two separate beings. Mercykillers, however, found and
executed her for a string of depraved murders before she could use it.
Unless the imbiber is actually more than one being existing within a single
body - possessed by a fiend, for instance - the elixir will have no effect.
EMBALMING ROOM KEY
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.
NOTE: When using keys in Torment, you only need to have them in your inventory
to unlock a door. In some cases, the key will vanish after it is used... this is
done when the key is no longer needed and frees up your inventory slots for
other, more important items.
FESTHALL ROOM KEY
Weight: 0
This is the key to a room within the Civic Festhall.
FIEND'S TONGUE
Weight: 2
This is a fiend's silvery tongue floating in a jar of brine. It's said that,
once placed into the mouth of any living thing, it will give the ability of
speech, even if there was none before.
FIN ANDLYE'S NOTES
Weight: 1
These are the notes of the deceased linguist Fin Andlye. They are composed of
his research into the language of the Uyo.
FINAM'S BOOK
Weight: 1
This is the research journal of a linguist named Finam.
FINGER-BONE
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.
FINGER BONE KEY
Weight: 0
This key is fashioned from a human finger, cunningly fitted with grooves,
flanges, and rings. The lock that would take this key would be complicated
indeed.
FORGE HAMMER
Weight: 4
A hammer used to beat heated iron ore into shape. It's very heavy.
FROST-ALE MUG
Weight: 2
This large, pewter ale stein is of unusual manufacture, its surface etched with
strange runes. It keeps its contents icy cold, whatever the surrounding
temperature.
FROST-ALE MUG WITH DARK BIRD
Weight: 3
This large, pewter ale stein is of unusual manufacture, its surface etched with
strange runes. It keeps its contents icy cold, whatever the surrounding
temperature. Currently, it's holding a Dark Bird of Ocanthus - a shard of black
ice from an exhibit in Yvana's Galleria in the Clerk's Ward.
GILTSPUR'S HANDBILL
Weight: 1
This is the handbill Giltspur asked you to deliver to Scofflaw Penn for
printing. It's nothing special. It's a little promotional note for Giltspur's
auctioneering services:
"COME ONE, COME ALL TO GILTSPUR'S AUCTION"
And so forth.. It's not much to read, but it certainly reflects his personality
accurately.
GILTSPUR'S NOTE
Weight: 1
This is the note Giltspur has asked you to deliver to Keldor of Durian, in the
Great Foundry. It looks like it's a private note, but you don't seem to have any
scruples about reading it.
Upon further examination, it appears that it's just a bill for Giltspur's
promotional services. You're a little disappointed that it's not something more
exciting.
GILTSPUR'S POSTING BILL
Weight: 1
This is the handbill Giltspur asked you to deliver to Barkis at the Smoldering
Corpse Bar. It's a copy of the bill Penn printed up for him. Giltspur must be
hard up for messengers if he'll pay you two hundred coins for this.
GODSMAN COSTUME
Weight: 5
These are well-crafted replicas of the plain, sturdy clothes and work-boots that
make up the typical Godsman's working garb. Unlike a true Godsman's clothes,
however, these are made of fine materials and lined with silken padding.
GODSMAN RECEIPT
Weight: 0
A receipt stamped with the symbol of the Godsmen. Probably redeemable at the
Great Foundry.
GODSMAN TOKEN
Weight: 0
The bearer of this token - a brass coin embossed with the seal of the Believers
of the Source - has proven himself to the Godsmen. It is a symbol of trust, and
as such, it allows its bearer into the portions of the Foundry that are normally
off-limits except to the high-ups of the faction. Guard it carefully.
GORGON SALVE
Weight: 1
A small bottle labeled as 'Gorgon Salve.' Smeared onto the surface of any being
turned to stone, it will revert them to flesh.
HANDKERCHIEF
Weight: 0
This is an unremarkable silk handkerchief.
HARGRIMM'S SKULL
Weight: 2
Nothing remarkable about it, really. Without the headdress, it looks like just
another skull.
IANNIS'S VAULT KEY
Weight: 0
This thick metal key looks like it may unlock the vaults in the advocate's
office.
INK-FILLED TANKARD
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.
IRON ORE
Weight: 5
A lump of iron ore.
JUNK
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.
KESTER'S LEGACY
Weight: 0
This legacy is inscribed on a carefully-folded piece of well-tended, old vellum.
It belongs to Kester the distiller, and from what you can decipher, it appears
that his father was both uneducated and sloppy in his handwriting. The little
you can make out appears to suggest that the two brothers devote themselves to
increasing their wealth by building the businesses... and here the ink smudges
into unreadability. The rest of the document does not provide detail as to how
the division is to be accomplished.
KEYS TO DOLORA'S HEART
Weight: 0
This pair of keys is attached to a key-chain from which a heart-shaped charm
dangles. The surface of the heart is inscribed with hundreds of tiny numbers,
and the word 'DOLORA.'
LEATHER APRON
Weight: 5
This looks to be a heavy apron made from hide of some creature. Aprons such as
these are used to protect workers clothes from the heat of the forge.
LINGUIST'S ASHES
Weight: 3
This is an urn full of ashes and charred bits of bone. Etched into the base of
the urn are the words 'Fin Andlye - Beloved Husband, Father, and Scholar of One
Hundred Languages.'
LOAN DOCUMENT
Weight: 0
This document shows that Trist's loan from Byron Pikit was paid in full.
LOVE LETTER
Weight: 0
This is a passionate, steamy, and rather graphic love letter. Who it's to and
whom it's from, however, are quite vague.
LUMP OF OBSIDIAN
Weight: 1
This is a chunk of rough obsidian, recently burnt by Avernus' fires.
MEBBETH'S WASH
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
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
Weight: 0
This is a large, unimaginative iron key. For some reason, its somber appearance
reminds you of the Mortuary.
NOTE: When using keys in Torment, you only need to have them in your inventory
to unlock a door. In some cases, the key will vanish after it is used... this is
done when the key is no longer needed and frees up your inventory slots for
other, more important items.
MORTUARY SANCTUM KEY
Weight: 1
This heavy key is a strange fusion of bone and an unidentifiable blood-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.
NOTE: When using keys in Torment, you only need to have them in your inventory
to unlock a door. In some cases, the key will vanish after it is used... this is
done when the key is no longer needed and frees up your inventory slots for
other, more important items.
ORNATE BOX
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.
PHINEAS' KEY
Weight: 0
This is the key to Phineas' basement at the Office of Vermin and Disease
Control.
PRAYER BEADS
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
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.
NOTE: When using keys in Torment, you only need to have them in your inventory
to unlock a door. In some cases, the key will vanish after it is used... this is
done when the key is no longer needed and frees up your inventory slots for
other, more important items.
PROMISSORY NOTE
Weight: 0
This is a promissary note in the amount of one thousand copper commons that the
possessor can collect upon from the Brothel of Slating Intellectual Lusts. Ecco
gave it to you in order to purchase the Deva's Tears with; it's doubtful you
could do anything else with it.
QUINT'S POISON CHARM
Special: Cures Poison
Weight: 1
This is a necklace made of pointed teeth. Examining it more closely, you see
that each of the teeth has been hollowed out, as if it could carry a small
amount of liquid.
It is Quint's poison charm. When used it has the ability to cure various types
of poisons.
RAVEL'S GRAY HAIR
Weight: 0
This is one of Ravel's long gray hairs; it's so old, it looks like her normally
gray hair is turning an even whiter shade of gray. It must be a few feet long...
and it looks pretty tough, to boot.
SCENTED VEIL
Weight: 0
This is a beautiful perfumed, crimson veil. Whatever textile it's made of is so
light and gauzy that it's like a sheaf of pure, brilliant color, rather than an
object of dyed cloth. More remarkable than the veil's appearance, though, is its
scent - doubtlessly one of the most intensely exotic and arousing aromas you
have ever had the pleasure of inhaling.
SCROLL OF EVIDENCE
Weight: 0
This is a scroll listing the criminal activities of Byron Pikit.
SKIN OF REGRETS
Weight: 1
This is a scrap of your flesh with a regret inscribed upon it. It is a small,
tattered thing, but just looking at it makes you feel uncomfortable. It has a
strange weight about it and feels heavier than it should.
SKULL OF MANTUOK
Weight: 2
This is the skull of the wererat Mantuok.
SKULL OF THE SILENT KING
Weight: 2
This is the head of the Silent King.
SMALL RED KEY
Weight: 0
Taken from the Starved Dog sentry in the main hall of the Tenement of Thugs,
this slender strongbox key is ornately crafted and appears as though it might be
of significance to the Starved Dogs Barking gang.
SMALL STEEL FORK
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.
SOEGO'S SKULL
Weight: 2
This skull used to be attached to Soego's body before his unfortunate...
"accident."
SOUNDING STONE
Weight: 2
This dark stone is covered in dust, as if it has been sitting here for years -
it looks like a piece of one of the statues that was chipped away. A tracery of
strange runes and markings cover the stone's surface.
It feels strangely familiar somehow.
STALE MARY'S SKULL
Weight: 2
This is Stale Mary's head. The strong rotting smell coming from it makes you
slightly nauseous.
STEEL BOX
Weight: 10
This sturdy steel box has a thick leather handle on the top, but there's no
apparent way to open the thing - it appears to be welded shut. There are a
number of very narrow slits along one side, though you can't quite see into the
box through them. A sickly-sweet, rotting smell wafts out from the slits.
STRIP OF SKIN
Weight: 0
Usable only by Nameless One
This scrap of skin has been peeled from the back of your left forearm. Its
scarred, gray surface reminds you of a zombie's hide; it feels more like a piece
of cured leather than a strip of skin.
NOTE: To inscribe a regret on this skin, select the "Use" command.
TENEMENT KEY
Weight: 0
This small, plain key is fashioned of wrought iron and appears to be of no
particular value.
TENEMENT STOREROOM KEY
Weight: 0
This plain iron key is scratched and worn from repeated use.
THILDON'S AWL
Weight: 1
This is a well-fashioned awl, with the name "Thildon" burnt expertly into the
wood handle.
TOMB KEY1
Weight: 0
This key seems vaguely familiar somehow... as you hold it, you suddenly know its
purpose. It's supposed to allow you to teleport to one of the inner chambers of
the Weeping Stone Catacombs tomb -- but only if you use it in the entrance
corridor; once inside the chamber, it's useless. If you could somehow get back
to the entrance chamber, you might be able to use it to use the key to jump
somewhere else...
TOMB KEY2
Weight: 0
This is a portal key.
TOMB KEY3
Weight: 0
This is a portal key.
TOMB KEY4
Weight: 0
This is a portal key.
TOMB PLANS
Weight: 0
These are the plans of a custom made tomb. Stenciled proudly across the top edge
are the words 'Engineered for Eternity.'
TOME OF BONE AND ASH
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.
TONGS
Weight: 5
Soot-covered tongs used to hold iron ore in the heat of a foundry fire.
UHIR'S KNIFE
Damage: 1-3 Piercing
Special +1 to Luck
Speed: 1
Weight: 0
Proficiency: Edged
Not usable by Priests
This unremarkable, dirt-caked dagger has the letters 'UHIR' carved into its
handle. Despite its shoddy appearance, the blade is well-balanced.
UNFOLDING PORTAL
Weight: 10
Usable only by Nameless One
This is a shimmering piece of filigreed metalwork that you picked up in the
Great Foundry. It looks almost gauzy. Sharp edge protrude from it. You have no
idea where it goes right now, but it must be important if you commissioned it
for yourself.
All you need to do to activate it is find the proper key.
VLASK'S PORTAL KEY
Weight: 0
A small fragile glass bead containing the reagents needed to open a certain
portal once. Simply crush to activate.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rings
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADAHN'S RING
Weight: 0
This is a gift you received from Adahn when you bid him farewell in the
Smoldering Corpse Bar. It's a featureless metal ring looks extremely thick and
heavy, but it is almost weightless. It shifts as you watch, changing from
silver, to bronze, to gold.
AEGIS OF TORMENT
Special:
+3 to Constitution
+15 to Base Hit Points
+3 to Armor Class
Weight: 0
Rows and rows of minute skulls line the outer edge of this ring. It is crowned
by an over-sized skull with fire-red gems that serves as its eyes. This ring is
the physical manifestation of the suffering of the tormented slaves of Dahnthur.
It was their ultimate wish to gain protection from their oppressors, and with
this magical ring, their wish was finally realized. Even with the fiery red
gems, a royal purple hue continually emanates outward.
ARKIN'S RING
Weight: 0
This ring belongs to Arkin, Sheryl's father.
BRONZE RING
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.
DEIONARRA'S WEDDING RING
Special:
+1 to All Saving Throws
+1 to Armor Class
+3 to Armor Class vs. Piercing
Weight: 0
Usable only by Nameless One
This ivory ring was part of Deionarra's legacy. It radiates a slight glow, and
though it is cold to the touch, the chill is strangely comforting. The ivory
band stretches to fit the width of any finger.
Among the many secrets of the Society of Sensation is the ability to shape a
peculiar stone from Elysium, dubbed "soulstone." While this stone is not as
powerful as the sensory stones, the soul stone is said to carry an imprint of
the shaper's feelings. These rings are often used in Sensate marriage
ceremonies, each ring inscribed with the feelings of the other. This ring was
obviously intended for you.
When wearing Deionarra's ring, you gain added protection from all attacks, and
additional protection from any piercing attacks... presumably, the ring's
purpose is to shield the heart from shock and trauma, and this extends to any
physical pain the wearer suffers as well.
DEIONARRA'S WEDDING RING
Special:
+3 to All Saving Throws
+3 to Armor Class
+3 to Armor Class vs. Piercing
Weight: 0
Usable only by Nameless One
This ivory ring was part of Deionarra's legacy, and through some unknown means,
she has enhanced its power three-fold. Where it radiated only a slight glow
before, it now burns with a cold, white fire along the edges. The fire does not
burn - if anything, it's touch is comforting.
As with wearing Deionarra's normal soulstone ring, you gain added protection
from all attacks, and additional protection from any piercing attacks...
presumably, the ring's purpose is to shield the heart from shock and trauma, and
this extends to any physical pain the wearer suffers as well.
DISPLACER RING
Special: +2 to Armor Class
Weight: 0
Created from the blood of a displacer beast, this ring is able to partially
redirect the force of any ordinary weapon. This results in making the user
harder to hit and when hit takes less damage than normal.
GEHRAISE'S RING
Special: +3 to Save vs. Poison
Weight: 0
This small silver ring looks like it belongs on a woman's finger. It feels
slightly warm to the touch and it has the power to offset poison that has
entered the wearer's bloodstream.
GOLD RING
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.
MEMPA'S BITING RING
(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
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.
RING OF FALLEN STARS
Invokes: "Meteor Storm Bombardment"
Weight: 0
The band of this ring is made of stone recovered from a fallen star. When used
this ring can call others of its kind to rain down upon the users enemies.
RING OF THE TRAVELER
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.
RING OF THEX
Special:
+20 to Base Hit Points
+4 to Armor Class
+2 to All Saving Throws
Weight: 0
Usable only by Mages
This ornate silver ring is set with a single red stone of an unknown type. The
ring is believed to have been created by an adventuring mage named Thex. Thex
claimed she was tired of sitting back and flinging spells at enemies while the
rest of her adventuring party was able to get into the thick of battle. She felt
that the ring would allow her to become what she chose to call a Battlemage. The
Ring of Thex was the crowning achievement of her short career.

From a Hero of ancient times during the Year of Gii 'on, AC195, this exquisite
ring is smartly carved, with spiked edges. The ring is made of a metal that is
unidentifiable, with a center stone that is ice cold to the touch. It emanates a
strange, royal purple glow.

This appears to be a baby serpent of some sort that has been frozen into the

SILVER RING

This simple band of silver has no ornamentation; it may have once been a wedding

TWISTED RING

This ring looks like three rings that have been wrapped around each other. Just

YEVRAH'S RING OF ALMOST INVISIBILITY
Special: +1 to Armor Class
Weight: 0
This is Yevrah's Ring of Almost Invisibility. It makes its wearer invisible -
almost. Sometimes, for brief periods, the wearer becomes really, *really* close
to being invisible - an event which is often disconcerting to an attacker - and
is thus more difficult to strike in combat.

ANCIENT SCROLL
Weight: 0
Despite it's age, this scroll is amazingly well preserved. Strange symbols have
been carefully penned onto the parchment.
BAATOR SPELL KEY
Weight: 0
This symbol of Baator is inscribed upon a piece of human flesh. It smells burnt,
and it is frayed around the edges. As long as you carry it on your person, it
will prevent your spells from going awry while on the plane of Baator.
BONE-FRAMED JOURNAL
Weight: 2
This appears to be some sort of journal. Sheets of dried human skin have been
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.
CARCERI SPELL KEY
Weight: 0
This symbol of Carceri is inscribed upon a piece of human flesh. It has a
rose-colored tint about it, and it feels cold to the touch, almost like a sheet
of ice. As long as you carry it on your person, it will prevent your spells from
going awry while on the plane of Carceri.
DEIONARRA'S LEGACY
Weight: 0
My Love,
If you are reading this, then the tragedy I have Seen has come to pass. I have
died, and you have remained to suffer the loss.
Know this, my Love... I know why you were forced to shield your feelings from
me. You sought to protect me from the terrible burden you carry with you. The
distance you kept between us was your way of protecting me, and the brief
moments when we were alone and you let your feelings be known, *that* was when I
knew you cared for me. Carry no regrets with you, carry no guilt, for I came
with you on your haunted journey of my own accord, and no matter how death came
for me, I know that you did everything in your power to save me.
Our lives are intertwined my Love, and death shall not be a wall between us.
For my Sight has seen what is to come, only in staccato segments, but it is
enough for me to know that we will be separated for a time, but we shall be
reconciled again. Thus, do not see my death as a farewell, but only as an
interval before we meet again. Carry my ring with you, and these other pieces of
me, and think of me. Keep me in your mind and heart, and that will be the beacon
that brings us together.
Forever,
Deionarra.
DUSTMAN REQUEST
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."
FORGED DEAD CONTRACT
Weight: 0
This false 'Dead Contract' is similar to a standard Dustman Dead Contract, but
the tiny cramped writing on it hides the fact that the signer in fact does not
owe his corpse to the Dustman after death at all... essentially, any Dustman who
signs the contract will essentially be paying the signer for doing nothing but
putting his signature to paper.
MORTUARY REMINDER MESSAGE
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 maintaining 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 this matter would be appreciated,
An unreadable signature has been scrawled beneath the message.
MORTUARY TASK LIST
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.
NEGATIVE MATERIAL PLANE SPELL KEY
Weight: 0
This symbol of the Negative Material Plane is inscribed upon a piece of human
flesh. It smells of dust and corpse rot, yet it feels dry to the touch, like a
serpent's tongue. As long as you carry it on your person, it will prevent your
spells from going awry while on the Negative Material Plane.
NOTE FROM CORPSE #1201
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. Despite
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.
NOTE: If you are ever capable of examining an object further, or performing an
action on the object outside of the world screen, a "USE" button will appear for
the object on this examine screen. This button allows you to manipulate the item
through a dialogue screen. If you wish to examine the diagram on this note

PENN'S NOTE
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.

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
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.
REMINDER NOTE
Weight: 0
"Elsin:
For the love of whatever powers you hold dear, don't make the same mistake
thrice. You're not trying to open the door to the Inner Sanctum, so DO NOT step
on the trigger plate. The first time you made that mistake, it cost you your
foot. The second time, it was most of your leg. I shudder to think what
atrocities you might inflict on yourself should you step on it a third time.
Destroy this note when you've finally gotten this message through that blockade

SCRAWLED NOTE

Looks like someone has scrawled a reminder to themselves:
- The lock to the door to the Eastern Preparation Room is jammed shut again. See
to it that it is fixed. I tire of having to force it open just to walk to the
Embalming Room. -
NOTE: To bash a locked door or a chest, select the attack key (either through
the quick menu on the world screen or by holding down the CTRL key) and "attack"
the door or chest. This will not always be successful, but it can open objects
that are stuck or might otherwise need a key. Usually, your success will depend
on the strength of the door or container and your character's Strength score.
STRAHAN'S DIARY
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 about 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 Factol 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 Factol 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 Factol 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 Factol 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

THE SCROLL OF AGRIL-SHANAK

This scroll is covered with gold leaf and scrawled upon with an ink that looks

"*Know* that if you *know* a course of action to be true in your heart, do not

"Zerthimon 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."

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 remain 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."

This is your charred right index finger; the tip has been snapped off, and the
flesh that once surrounded the bone has been turned to ash. It was but a
*touch* from Ignus, but it was enough to leave lingering, blackened, scars on
your hand. To make matters worse, you notice that your flesh has healed slowly
and poorly from the wound... if Ignus were to attack you with a rage, he might
be able to muster enough heat and flames that recovering would be difficult...
perhaps even destroy you? The thought doesn't please you.
Ignus has hinted that this charred remain of your finger somehow holds a

Upon closer examination of this breastplate, you realize you didn't mar the
warding rune beyond recognition. In fact, unlike the other breastplates, the
spell that maintained the integrity of the giant skeleton is mostly intact, so
much so you could either cast the runes as a spell or copy them into a spell
book and keep it as part of your arsenal. Either casting or copying the spell
will destroy the breastplate, however.
NOTE: To cast the rune as a spell, simply use it as an item. To enter the

When compared to the Tanar'ri, at least the Baatezu are more civilized. There
is, perhaps, nothing more horrific than the unbounded fury of Abyss. By use of
this spell, the ground shall split open and the victim dragged into the
Tanar'rian Madness. Welcome to Hell.
This spell opens a planar portal beneath a specified victim and drags them down
into the Abyss. The portal remains open even after the victim is swallowed in.
The only sound bystanders hear is the incessant screaming of the victim as

seconds (which is more than an eternity for the victim in the Abyss), the victim
(or what's left of him) gets spit back out of the portal.
(1) If the victim makes a successful saving throw, he will get spit out of the
portal in 'one piece,' but while the victim sensed nothing at first, after a
split-second, all the Wrath of the Tanar'ri will surface. The victim will suffer
5d10 pts. of damage as he suffers multiple 'delayed' attacks and slashes from
all angles.
(2) If the victim fails the saving throw, it is instant death. All that is left
are body parts.

This spell steals life from the target and transfers it to you.
When the player touches a non-undead creature, he drains 1-6 hp from the target
for every 2 wizard levels he has (2-12 hp for Lvl 4). The damage that he drains
is then transferred to the caster and added to their total hp. Any hp over the
normal maximum is treated as 'temporary hit points' which will be lost after one

Inscribed upon this circular stone plate is the Second Circle of Zerthimon:
"*Know* that flesh cannot mark steel. *Know* that steel may mark flesh. 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."

Inscribed upon this circular stone plate is the Seventh Circle of Zerthimon:
"*Know* that the Rising of the People against the *illithid* was a thing built
upon many turnings. Many were the People who lived and died under time's blade
while the Rising was shaped."
"The Rising was shaped upon a slow foundation. Steel was gathered so that it
might mark *illithid* flesh. A means of *knowing* the movements of the
*illithids* were established, at first weak and confused, then stronger, like a
child finding its voice. When the movements were *known,* then the *illithids*
were observed. In observing them, their ways of the mind were *known.*"
"When the ways of the *illithid* were *known,* many of the People were gathered
and taught in secret the means to shield their minds, and the way to harness
their will as weapons. They were taught the scripture of steel, and most
importantly, they were given the *knowing* of freedom."
"These things were not learned quickly. The *knowing* of much of the ways was
slow, and in all these things, time's weight fell upon all. From the *knowing*
of one's reflection in a steel blade, to the *knowing* of submerging the will,
to the *knowing* of seeing itself. All of these things and more the People built
upon. In time, they came to *know* the whole."

Inscribed upon this circular stone plate is the Sixth Circle of Zerthimon:
"Upon the Blasted Plains, Zerthimon told Gith there cannot be two skies. In the
wake of his words, came war."
"So it came to pass that the People had achieved victory over their *illithid*
masters. They *knew* freedom. Yet before the green fires had died from the
battlefield, Gith spoke of continuing the war. Many, still filled with the
bloodlust in their hearts, agreed with her. She spoke of not merely defeating
the *illithids,* but destroying all *illithids* across the Planes. After the
*illithids* had been exterminated, they would bring war to all other races they
encountered."
"In Gith's heart, fires raged. She lived in war, and in war, she *knew* herself.
All that her eyes saw, she wanted to conquer."
"Zerthimon spoke the beginnings of that which was against Gith's will. He spoke
that the People already *knew* freedom. Now they should *know* themselves again
and mend the damage that had been done to the People. Behind his words were many
other hearts of the People who were weary of the war against the *illithid.*"
"*Know* that Gith's heart was not Zerthimon's heart on this matter. She said
that the war would continue. The *illithid* would be destroyed. Their flesh
would be no more. Then the People would claim the False Worlds as their own.
Gith told Zerthimon that they would be under the same sky in this matter. The
words were like bared steel."
"From Zerthimon came the Pronouncement of Two Skies. In the wake of his words
came war."

Inscribed upon this circular stone plate is 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 backs 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."
TWISTED GEAR OF ENOLL EVA
(Minor Artifact)
Special: Teaches User "Enoll Eva's Duplication"
Weight: 2
Usable only by Mages
The heavy gear that lies in the middle of this twisted mass of junk holds the
last algebraic ruminations of Enoll Eva, the recently disintegrated Creative
Director of Rubikon. Inscribed upon this twisted gear is a complex mathematical
equation the modron discovered while attempting to calculate the permutations of
the Rubikon maze. It is likely the presence of Limbo had an impact on his
thoughts, inspiring the narrow-minded modron to think of something both
brilliant and extremely dangerous.
Once "calculated" (cast), Enoll Eva's equation allows all subsequent actions to
be doubled or duplicated. During confrontations, all physical or magical attacks
are doubled - dealing twice the amount of damage.
How it ended up inside Nordom's frame is unknown, but the rogue modron may have
picked it up while gathering wayward items in the Rubikon maze.

ANARCHIST TATTOO
Invokes: "Haste"
Weight: 0
This tattoo is created from the four symbols of the Revolutionary League.
Wearing this openly is not a good idea.
The Revolutionary League believes that all power structures should be
overthrown, and they have devoted themselves to seeing that this occurs. They
are the natural enemies of nearly all the other factions, and so they must move
quickly when identified.
The problem with this tattoo, of course, is that it immediately identifies its
wearer as an Anarchist. Authority figures have a problem with this.
RAZOR ANGEL INK
Invokes: "Protection from Evil"
Weight: 0
Not usable by Evil characters
This tattoo is a reminder of the aid you gave to the Razor Angels in the Alley

Usable only by Nameless One
Some of Annah's presence must be rubbing off on you, for this tattoo allows you
to call upon some of her cat-like skills and grace to hone your thief abilities.
Unfortunately, it also inherits some of Annah's brashness and impulsiveness,
reducing your Charisma and Wisdom accordingly.
TATTOO OF AVERNUS
Special:
+33% Resistance to Fire
+33% Resistance to Magical Fire
Immunity to Panic
Weight: 0
This tattoo recognizes your travels on the first layer of Baator, Avernus. It

TATTOO OF DEATH-IN-LIFE
Invokes: "Raise Dead"
Weight: 0
Usable only by Nameless One
This tattoo tells of how you saved Dimtree's life by granting him a second
death. Whether it was the intensity of Dimtree's gratitude or channeling of the
power in the words you spoke to free him, this tattoo now allows you to draw
from that experience and pull someone back from the brink of death.
This tattoo will only work three times before it fades from the skin.
TATTOO OF DREAMS OF ES-ANNON
Special:
+1 to Save vs. Spells
+2 to Base Hit Points
Weight: 0
For some reason, the tale of the Crier of Es-Annon filled you with a strange
nostalgia, which you have related to Fell. This tattoo draws upon both this
nostalgia and the perseverance of the Criers of Es-Annon, granting you a boon to
your health and your endurance.
Artistically, this is some of Fell's best work: although this tattoo shows the
barest image of Es-Annon that you heard from the Crier of Es-Annon, you can
almost *feel* the great spiraling parks and avenues of light through this
intricate symbol. This tattoo helps preserve the memory of the city and the
dream of its people that its majesty might be remembered.
TATTOO OF DEVOURING VERMIN
Special:
+1 to Save vs. Poison
+5% Resistance to Acid
Weight: 0
This tattoo represents your inhuman appetite for vermin. It also raises your
body's resistance to acidic attacks and poison, mostly because of the powers of
your cast iron stomach has been externalized.
TATTOO OF ENDURING

This tattoo grants the wearer a slight bonus to health, making them more
difficult to knock unconscious.
TATTOO OF GRAVES OF ES-ANNON

of Es-Annon. This symbol draws upon the suffering of the Criers and uses it as a
shield against harm, allows you a greater chance of avoiding the Criers' fate.

skin, making them more difficult to hurt in combat.
TATTOO OF GROSUK'S DEMISE
Invokes: "Improved Strength"

This tattoo tells of your efforts to aid Sebastion by slaying Grosuk the
abishai. This tattoo draws upon that experience and bolsters the wearer's brute
strength to evade unpleasant legal entanglements.

without a trace.

+15% Resistance to Magical Fire
Special: Equipped
+1 to Constitution
+3 to Base Hit Points
-15% Resistance to Magic
-1 to Wisdom
Weight: 0
Usable only by Nameless One
Having Ignus as a companion is allowing you to see flames and madness in a
different... light. When this tattoo is worn, you may draw upon Ignus' fury to
shrug off flame attacks and increase your Constitution, making your threshold of
pain that much higher. Unfortunately, since Ignus' strength lies in his madness,
your Wisdom is impaired when this tattoo is worn upon the skin and your
susceptibility to magical attacks increases.
This tattoo can only call upon its ability to protect the wearer from flames for
a limited number of times. When the tattoo's power is exhausted, however, the
Constitution bonus will remain.
TATTOO OF INSIGHT
Special: +1 to Intelligence
Weight: 0
This tattoo adds a slight bonus to the user's intelligence, allowing him a
greater chance of gaining memories and aiding his mage skills.
TATTOO OF JUSTICE'S EYE
Invokes: "Detect Evil"
Special: +1 to Strength
Weight: 0

of Byron Pikit. This tattoo bolsters the eye and mind of the wearer - it allows
the wearer to perceive injustices and grants the user the strength to correct
them.
The tattoo's power may only be used a limited number of times, but when Detect
Evil is exhausted, the tattoo will remain.
TATTOO OF LOGIK CUBED
Special:
Temporary +3 to Intelligence
Temporary -3 to Wisdom
Weight: 0
Usable only by Nameless One
Some of Nordom's presence must be rubbing off on you, for this tattoo allows you
to tap into his (mostly) ordered and logical mind for brief periods of time.
When this occurs, however, your ability to comprehend the world around you takes
a fall, making it more difficult to learn from your experiences.
This tattoo must be invoked in order to take effect. When its ability is used
up, the tattoo disappears.
TATTOO OF MIGHT
Special: +1 to Strength
Weight: 0
This tattoo adds a slight bonus to the user's strength, making his physical
attacks more damaging and allowing him to carry more weight.
TATTOO OF MORTE
Special: Temporary
+1 Save vs. Paralyzation
+1 to Luck
Special: Equipped
+1 to Charisma
-1 to Wisdom
Weight: 0
Usable only by Nameless One
For all Morte's faults, having him as a companion makes you seem more capable
and not so much of a stranger to Sigil's streets. This tattoo reinforces that
bond, giving you +1 to Charisma and, when invoked, it also lends you some of
Morte's luck and his ability to shrug off anything that would otherwise cause
him to stop talking (such as paralyzation or stunning). Unfortunately, it also
gives the user a penalty for their Wisdom... which is not hard to understand,
considering how little Morte has to spare.
This tattoo can only call upon its luck ability a limited number of times. When
the tattoo's power is exhausted, however, the Charisma bonus will remain.
TATTOO OF PRESENCE
Special: +1 Charisma
Weight: 0
This tattoo gives the wearer an edge when interacting with others, giving them a
higher presence and leadership ability.
TATTOO OF RAVEL
Special:
+1 to Charisma
Immunity to Panic
Weight: 0
You have met a creature of legend, myth and mystery, and there are few who can
claim to have met the night hag Ravel and NOT met some horrible fate. This
tattoo tells of your encounter with the mythological figure; merely wearing it
marks you as someone to be respected... and feared. In addition to the respect
you now command, common terrors that would terrify a normal human being now
slide off of you.
TATTOO OF RAVEL'S KISS
Special:
-1 to Wisdom
-1 to Intelligence
+2 to Strength
+2 to Constitution
+1 to Save vs. Paralyzation
Weight: 0
Usable only by Nameless One
Your lips have touched the night hag, Ravel, and there are few who have met her
and lived, much less caused her to feel some emotion other than contempt and
hatred. This tattoo is blood red, and reminds you of the blood that Ravel drew
when your lips touched hers. It may not have been the wisest decision, but it
took tremendous bravery and strength to kiss her. When inscribed on the skin,
the tattoo steels the heart and body and helps the wearer throw off the effects
of paralyzation, but at the same time, it dulls your intelligence and wisdom
somewhat.
TATTOO OF REVELATION
Special: +2 to Intelligence
Weight: 0
Usable only by Mages
This tattoo bolster's the user's intelligence, allowing him a greater chance of
gaining memories and aiding his mage skills.
TATTOO OF SAVING GRACE
Special:
+1 to Wisdom
+5 to Lore Skill
+1 to all Saving Throws
Weight: 0
Usable only by Nameless One
Some of Fall-From-Grace's presence must be rubbing off on you, for this tattoo
allows you to steady your thoughts and take events from a calm perspective,
allowing you to gain more experience from your encounters. Furthermore, this
tattoo helps calm the mind and allows you to control your impulsiveness, panic
and harness your adrenaline rush to shrug off spells, paralyzation, and any
other attacks that rely on chance to pierce your defenses.
TATTOO OF SEBASTION'S END
Invokes: "Flamewalk"
Weight: 0
This tattoo tells of your betrayal of Sebastion's intentions to Grosuk the
abishai. This tattoo draws upon that experience, allowing you to enhance the
barest trace of the abishai's evil gratitude and magnify it. When inscribed on
the skin, this tattoo has the power to radiate heat away from the body.
Much like the gratitude of any baatezu, this tattoo's power is limited. When its
power is exhausted, it will vanish without a trace.
TATTOO OF SENSATION
Special:
+1 to Damage with all Attacks
+5% to Damage from All Physical Attacks
THAC0: +1
Weight: 0
Usable only by Sensates
This tattoo enhances the player's senses; as a side effect, the wearer can use
their enhanced senses to pinpoint a target's vulnerable points and inflict more
damage. Unfortunately, the tattoo also enhances any sensations of pain the
wearer feels, so he takes more damage from physical attacks.

Grants Experience Points when invoked
Grants permanent +3% Pick Pocket Skill when invoked
+5% Pick Pocket Skill Bonus when worn
Weight: 0
Usable only by Nameless One
Usable only by Thieves
This tattoo came from the severed arm you found in the Dismembered Crypt.
Apparently, this tattoo tells of the experiences of one of your past
incarnations... the symbols and tales are unfamiliar to you, but it seems to
tell of a time when you lived as a thief on Sigil's streets, before being driven
down into the catacombs because of your thieving nature.
In activating the tattoo, some of the memories of living on Sigil's streets will
return to you, giving you more experience. Furthermore, it will give you a
permanent bonus to your pick pocket skill. Even when the tattoo is invoked and
the experience has been gained, however, the tattoo and the pick pocket bonus
will remain.
TATTOO OF SPITE
Invokes: "Tasha's Unbearable Derisive Laughter"
Weight: 0

weapon against others.
When the tattoo's ability is used up, the tattoo vanishes.
TATTOO OF TENEMENT SHADOWS
Special: +15% Stealth Skill Bonus
Weight: 0
Usable only by Thieves
This tattoo tells of your experiences in escaping the Tenement of the Starved
Dogs; the tattoo has the same color as the Adder's Tear which Sybil gave you. It
gives you an additional bonus to stealth as long as it is inscribed on your
flesh.
TATTOO OF THE ANARCHISTS
Special: Causes Confusion
Weight: 0
This tattoo is created from the four symbols of the Revolutionary League.
Wearing this openly is not a good idea.
The Revolutionary League believes that all power structures should be
overthrown, and they have devoted themselves to seeing that this occurs. They
are the natural enemies of nearly all the other factions, and so they must move
quickly when identified. The problem with this tattoo, of course, is that it
immediately identifies its wearer as an Anarchist. Authority figures have a
problem with this.
This tattoo creates confusion in the enemies of the Anarchist, lasting up to
30 seconds.

Weight: 0
Usable only by Mages
Usable only by Nameless One

echoes the terrible sensation that flooded you when you called upon the power
within the maze... and the Trigits answered in their own speech, something that
impressed Ravel herself. This tattoo allows you to call upon that power again
for a limited period of time and use it protect yourself against your enemies;
it seems that enemies of you are enemies of Ravel AND the Trigits...
This tattoo has only a limited amount of power... when it is exhausted, the
tattoo will vanish.
TATTOO OF THE BLACK-BARBED MAZE
Invokes: "Black Barbed Curse"
Weight: 0
Usable only by Mages
Usable only by Nameless One

the power within the maze. This tattoo allows you to call upon that power again
for a limited period of time and turn it against your enemies; it seems that
enemies of you are enemies of Ravel...

TATTOO OF THE CUTPURSE
Special:
"Copper Blessing"
Grants Experience Points When Invoked
Weight: 0
Usable only by Thieves
This tattoo recognizes your mastery of the art of picking pockets, so much so
that you may pick the pockets of anyone on the same plane as you - no matter
where they are and whether you can even see them or not. Simply close your palm
once per day, then open it, and it will be filled with a handful of coins. This
ability goes just beyond picking pockets, however; when you invoke the tattoo's
power, you gain an insight into the mind of the 'mark' from whom the coins were
taken, giving you a small experience point bonus as well.
When the Copper Blessing ability is used up, the tattoo vanishes.
TATTOO OF THE DECEIVER
Special: +3 to Damage with all Attacks
THAC0: +3
Weight: 0
This tattoo seems to have the mark of the Deceiver upon it... it represents
someone who wants to accomplish something with ease, rather than work for it.
TATTOO OF THE JOINING
Invokes: "Friends"
Weight: 0
This tattoo tells of how you brought Corvus and Karina together. It allows you
to draw upon some of their happiness in finding each other to bolster your
relationships with others.
When the tattoo's ability is used up, the tattoo vanishes.
TATTOO OF THE LOST INCARNATION
Special:
Grants Experience Points when invoked
Increases Regeneration Rate when worn
Weight: 0
Usable only by the Nameless One
This tattoo came from the severed arm you found in the Dismembered Crypt.
Apparently, this tattoo tells of the experiences of one of your past
incarnations... the symbols and tales are unfamiliar to you, but it seems to
tell of a time when you were lost and abandoned on the streets of the Hive,
barely able to make a living robbing and stealing from others you encountered.
The crimes the lost incarnation committed eventually drove him to seek shelter
in the Weeping Stone catacombs, where he survived for almost a year.
When worn, the tattoo seems to bring out a survival instinct in you, forcing
your body to react to any damage you take and heal wounds faster.
If you choose to tap into the tattoo's power, some of the memories of hiding
beneath Sigil will return to you, giving you the benefit of the previous

-1 to Charisma when worn
Weight: 0
Usable only by Nameless One
This tattoo came from the severed arm you found in the Dismembered Crypt.
Apparently, this tattoo tells of the experiences of one of your past

tell of a time when the catacombs beneath Sigil's streets were your second home.
It tells of you travelling down into the tombs, living in darkness, and coming
to learn the nature of why the stones beneath Sigil weep.
When worn, the tattoo makes you more resilient to cold and hardens your body,
giving your skin the texture and strength of the weeping stone walls. In so
doing, however, it also gives you a hungry gaunt look, as if you are starving.
If you choose to tap into the tattoo's power, some of the memories of living
beneath Sigil will return to you, giving you the benefit of the previous
incarnation's experience. It can only do this once, but even after the tattoo is

-1 to Charisma when worn
Usable only by Nameless One
Usable only by Thieves
This tattoo came from the severed arm you found in the Dismembered Crypt.
Apparently, this tattoo tells of the experiences of one of your past
incarnations... the symbols and tales are unfamiliar to you, but it seems to
tell of a time when you were seeking shelter beneath the catacombs and were
forced to live as a shadow might, hiding from detection by the Sigil authorities
and trying to conceal yourself from the more dangerous inhabitants of the
Weeping Stone catacombs.
When worn, the tattoo makes concealing yourself easier; it allows you to shape
the shadows around you like a cloak. This makes it harder for your enemies to
hurt you when they see you and harder for you to find when you don't wish to be
seen. It lends you a sinister appearance, however, which will cause many to shun
you.
If you choose to tap into the tattoo's power, some of the memories of hiding
beneath Sigil will return to you, giving you the benefit of the previous
incarnation's experience. It can only do this once, but even after the tattoo is
invoked, the ability to shape shadows around you will remain.
THE NUMBER OF KU'U YIN

Weight: 0

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.

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

(Default Weapon)
Damage: 1-3 Piercing
Speed: 1

Morte's bite is lethal, and he CAN masticate someone to death. As long as his
quick weapon slots are not all filled, Morte can always select bite as his
current weapon.

do with his bite is relatively small, it allows him to attack quickly, which can
infuriate any mage who's trying to cast a spell.

breathing creature. Using the teeth grants the wearer certain benefits normally
possessed by such creatures.

Damage: 2-7 Piercing
Enchanted: +1
Special:
Poisons Target
Immunity to Poison
Speed: 2
Weight: 1
Proficiency: Fists

their sharp tips.

A CLUE!
Weight: 0
This cryptic piece of parchment simply states:
"You now have a better understanding of what is going on..."
A GOODY!
Weight: 0
It looks like a small stone rod of some sort. Interesting, but useless.
A MAGIC ITEM!
Weight: 0
It's something, but Baator be damned if you can figure out what. It does radiate
magic however.
BAG OF COINS
Weight: 0
A small bag filled with some strange coins. The coins have unusual pictures and
writing on them. They don't appear to be of any value.
BLANK JOURNAL
Weight: 4

CHALK
Weight: 0
An ordinary piece of chalk.
CHEESE
Weight: 0
This is a piece of cheese.
CLEANING RAGS
Weight: 1
This damp mass of rags look like it's been used to mop up blood and other less
savory bodily fluids.
COBBLESTONE
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.
COPPER-EYES DEAD CONTRACT
Weight: 0
You obtained this blank contract from Copper-Eyes, and it has a faint metallic
smell about it. 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 an
as-of-yet unnamed signer. In exchange for thirty copper pieces, the signer gives
away the rights to his corpse to the Dustmen, presumably so that they can use
him as a worker in the Mortuary.
CRANIUM RAT TAILS
Weight: 0
This is a collection of cranium rat tails.
DEAD LIM-LIM
Weight: 5
This tiny corpse was your pet Lim-Lim... whatever forces are at work on the
Negative Material Plane, it didn't allow the Lim-Lim to survive here.
FALL-FROM-GRACE'S DIARY
Weight: 1
This book looks like it is made from paper-thin silver sheets. The engraving of
a woman is on the cover of the text, and there is a small lock on the side of
the book. No matter how you try, the lock resists your attempts to open it.
GOLD INGOT
Weight: 15
This is a gold ingot. It weighs a ton, but if it's worth its weight in gold...
INKWELL
Weight: 1
This small, ceramic inkwell and quill pen are common tools among scribes and
scholars.
INTESTINES
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.
LEATHER PURSE
Weight: 0
This is common leather pouch used to store coins and other valuables.
LEATHER STRAP
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.
PARCHMENT
Weight: 0
This is an ordinary blank sheet of parchment.
PENDANT OF YEMETH
Weight: 1
The Pendant of Yemeth is constructed of some silvery metal. Six crystals radiate
from the skull in a circle, forming a crown of sorts. A leather lanyard is
looped though an eyehole attached to the top of the skull.
The item is named for its creator, a sorcerer of a by-gone age. Though Yemeth's
power was great, time began to take its toll on him; he began to grow weak and
sodden. The Pendant was commissioned by the dying wizard to serve as a vessel
for souls -- souls which Yemeth himself would draw from dying mortals, and later
use to power his waning life-force. Yemeth was eventually slain in a battle,
destroyed utterly, and the Pendant was lost. Sages said that, even if the
Pendant were to be recovered, no mortal knows the secrets of its use.
PET LIM-LIM
Weight: 5
This is your pet Lim-Lim.
POISON CHEESE
Weight: 0
This cheese has been laced with a powerful poison.

RAGS
Weight: 1
This thick mass of rags look as if they were torn from a tapestry or someone's
robes.
SOEGO'S DUSTMAN HOLY SYMBOL
Weight: 1
This holy symbol used to belong to the Dustman Soego. The symbol is of heavy
iron, designed to be wrapped around the wearer's wrist with a series of small,
tightly linked chains. The symbol itself reminds you of a screaming face.
SKULL
Weight: 2
This is a generic human skull. It is not as talkative as Morte, but perhaps
that's just as well.
STONE LIM-LIM
Weight: 10
This was your pet Lim-Lim that you had Marissa turn to stone with her petrifying
glance. It weighs at least twice as much as it did before. Its tiny, smiling
mouth has been forever transfixed in such a manner that you can practically hear
it gleeful chirp: 'Piyo!'
WERERAT SKULL
Weight: 2
This is a wererat skull. Man, are they ugly critters.
XACHARIAH'S LIVER
Weight: 3
Xachariah's liver looks like a huge, dead slug -- it has the texture of a
wineskin that has been sitting in a mud puddle for a few years. Enough embalming
fluid has been pumped into the organ to preserve it, but the smell of rot and
the smell formaldehyde seem to be fighting for dominance.
