Artefacts, Items, and Objects
From the Forges of the Mountain Kings
Some of the items they have recovered have magical or supernatural properties.
- A suit of Dwarf-forged chainmail, battered but emanating faint magical power. Taken from the vicious goblin Irontooth, it grants stamina to whoever wears it. This is a suit of dwarven chainmail +1.
- A goblin-made sword engraved with sigils. This is a shortsword +1.
- A suit of hide hunting armour, bedecked with charms. This is bloodcut hide armour +1.
- A large oak shield, rimmed with iron and inlaid with a design of three spears under a sun. This is a shield of protection.
- A dusty glass flask, containing a potion of healing.
- A fabulous longsword inlaid with platinum, its blade studded with white diamonds, and its pommel wrought in the form of a dragon's head. This is Aecris, oath-blade of Sir Keegan of Erukar Keep.
Items
What has it got in its pocketses?
Our heroes have recovered a number of interesting items from their expedition against the kobold raiders near Winter Haven, and their exploration of the ruined keep nearby. Perhaps some will prove useful?
- A mask in the form of a dragon's skull, magically transformed from the skull of some less threatening animal.
- An amulet, carved from obsidian, in the form of some creature. It appears to be a variation on a common emblem of the Dragon Cult, typically depicting the metaphorical Dragon that represents the draconic races, their heritage and culture. This variant is partially skeletal, with a skull in place of a head. The symbolism of this amulet is unknown.
- A pot of Mountain Sparrowseye salve for wounds and bruises, a gift from Delphinia Moonbow.
- Four small platinum and silver statues of dragons: one crouched to spring, one posed majestically, one defiant, and one coiled around a humanoid figure. These were found in a compartment of the altar in the cathedral of Bahamut at Erukar Keep.
- A piece of cheese wrapped in waxed paper, partly eaten.
- A number of keys.
- A set of research notes relating to the Rift and its arcane properties, written by the gnome wizard Tiratu.
- A number of fine silken outfits suitable for a gnome or child.
- A silver armband worked with a pattern of beech leaves.
Objects
Now, where did I put that..?
In the course of their adventures, various miscellaneous items have come our heroes' way, of little immediate use... perhaps?
- A scrap of parchment hinting at a plot against Winter Haven, involving the demon Orcus and some kind of "rift", and mentioning a spy.
- A rough map of the area surrounding Winter Haven. It is illustrative, rather than accurate.
- A copy of an old map of the ruined keep to the north. The map is incomplete and probably out of date.
- Scribbled on a scrap of paper, copies of the strange symbols found on the floor of the old galleries.
