AV&ES- Roll those dice!

Silver Horn of Ejhekele

‘Where did that dwarf go?’ asked Uzeb the Wise as a strange, thick fog suddenly appeared and engulfed the pair of adventurers.
‘What were we doing in the first place? Where are we going?’ Jaundo asked in return.
Uzeb suddenly stopped pacing and realized that he wasn’t sure what time of day it was or exactly why they were in these woods.
A deep growl rattled Uzeb and Jaundo.
‘I believe that our day is getting worse,’ said Jaundo as he readied his spear.

A slender, etched hunting horn that smells faintly of pine. Silver and the horn of an unknown creature are beautifully worked together into this magic item, probably made by elves.

Benefit: When sounded, it does not summon creatures. Instead, it summons a Fog of Years. For 3d6 turns (30-180 minutes), a 60′ radius is enveloped in thick mist. Within this mist, all creatures lose the sense of the present; they cannot track time or remember why they entered the area. There is a 1-in-6 chance a Hunter of the Gods (this is a creature of the referee’s choice, probably similar to a 5HD Warg or similar creature) hears the call and arrives to “claim the strayed.”

Usable by: Anyone.

Remembering Blade

‘Ah, Drevit Mohg, who left me for dead in Vhing-lor,’ snarled Kneftis.
The thief Drevit Mohg jumped at those words, unable to keep his cool as he whirled around to see the fighter and his glowing blade.
‘It’s not what you think,’ whined Drevit.
Kneftis nodded towards the longsword he held towards the thief.
‘The blade tells a different tale.’
Drevit tipped over a table full of brass mugs and plates, then turned and ran, hoping that a crowd would buffer him from his nemesis.
Seeing the glowing blade, all gave the fighter a wide birth.

A well made, yet not overly ornate sword. The grip always feels comfortable and slightly warm, until it doesn’t…

Benefit: This enchanted longsword deals 1d8+1 damage on a successful hit. The sword glows faintly in the presence of those that have previously wronged the wielder. If they are not struck down in combat the owner of the blade loses 1d4 hit points until vengeance is taken. In this case wronged means publicly humiliated, betrayed, left for dead, etcetera, not petty squabbles or minor theft.

Usable by: Anyone who can wield a longsword.

Metalseeker Hammer

‘I’ll knock your brains out, wizard!’ growled Brekla the Bold.
Jhevik the illusionist had heard about the huge hammer that the barbarian had recently retrieved from an old dwarven tomb.
‘Perhaps,’ the illusionist replied.
The barbarian scowled as he tried to raise the hammer, yet seemed to meet some resistance, as if his arms were rebelling against the deed.
‘I’ll see myself out,’ Jhevik said as he wasted no time in exiting the ruins.
Brekla grumbled and before he could draw a dagger the spellcaster was gone.

It really looks like an ornate maul. Origins unknown, yet made by a magic-user for sure.

Benefit: A great enchanted hammer that ignores two points of AC (descending AC 3 becomes AC5 for To Hit purposes for example) from any metal armor. However, the wielder becomes reluctant to strike unarmored foes (–2 to hit against creatures without visible armor), often finding that their muscles seem to freeze when trying to strike those bereft of armor. Deals 1d6+1 damage on a successful strike.

Usable by: Anyone who can wield a big hammer.

The Sword I Cannot Bear
(okay, that last one was mean, try this)

As Jhevik the illusionist entered the tavern with the bulky northern fighter, more than one chair slid back on the hardwood floor.
‘You owe me, you thieving wizard!’ snarled one of the patrons of the Raging Warg tavern as he drew a wicked looking knife.
Jhevik’s companion looked at him. The spellcaster nodded and revealed a sword in his robes. Drawing the sword, Jhevik threw it into the air towards the mountain of muscle who pulled his own ace from its scabbard and turned towards the knife-wielder as the newly revealed sword gracefully swung through the air, threatening their foe with its flawless blade.
‘Anyone else?’ Jhevik asked confidently as the others shrank back.
‘Maybe we can discuss this?’ pondered the knife-wielder.
‘I’m listening,’ replied the illusionist.

This masterfully wrought sword is jaw-droppingly beautiful, with silver and gold filigree on hilt and scabbard. Is that a wizard carrying it?

Benefit: In combat the bearer of this sword removes it from the scabbard and the sword leaps into the air and moves to the closest ally, granting THEM an extra attack with no penalty that deals 1d6+2 damage while giving the owner of the sword a +2 to AC and an extra 1d4 hit points. These boons fade away within one hour after combat, returning everything to normal. The bearer of the sword cannot use it in combat themselves.


Usable by: Anyone. Even those who cannot use a sword.

Shared Fortune Ring

Zeban eyed Xobol as the former dropped his scimitar yet again, right after Xobol deftly avoided the swinging blade trap.
‘I am not sure what it is, yet it seems the third time today that you have had great luck while I seem to flounder,’ Zeban pondered aloud.
‘Surely, this is only coincidence, my friend,’ Xobol nervously replied, one hand twisting the simple iron band on a finger of his other hand.

A plain iron band. It does radiate magic if a spell is cast upon it, otherwise, it is easily overlooked. Perhaps too easily overlooked.

Benefit: When this ring’s wearer scores a critical hit or great success (such as an amazing Save or Attribute check), the nearest ally suffers a minor mishap (drop item, stumble, small damage-1d4+1 hit points, etcetera). The great success takes the luck of an ally in essence. Does it really work? It does make an ally have a mishap, and the ring’s wearer realizes this after a number of rolls although mechanically, it doesn’t help. It’s cursed.
