------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Teilnehmer: (1) Jinxedbear - Jorlan Duskryn - Dhampier - Monk 1 - none Karrakas aka Nils - als Ko-DM für diverse NPC ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Info: Jorlan hat einen Tag in seinen Normalen Leben erlebt, und seinen Leutnant Sarith, sowie einige andere Kennengelernt. Er hat mit Far sehr Interessiert und Drowisch agiert. Er hat Asha einen Deal vorgeschlagen das er Ihr versuchsobjekt mit Essenz versorgt und wenn er erwischt wird übernimmt er die Schuld. Was Asha freudig angenommen hat. Er hat die Höhle hinter den Wasserfall entdeckt und nutzt diese als Lager. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Trinket: Command Sigil Trinket: Broken Jade Loop Trinket: Bent Key Trinket: Essence Vial Trinket: Distorted Chain Amulet (hat Ilvara momentan) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Loot: (Hortauswahl bei Items) 1x Emberveil Tonic (Potion of Healing) 1x Reversed Essence - Quiet Dominion (Perfume of Bewitching) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 🕷️ Chitin of the Half-Bound (Eldritch Claw Tattoo) Wondrous Item (tattoo), uncommon (requires attunement) Appearance Dark, chitin-like lines radiate from the upper spine across the shoulders and down along the back, branching outward in fractured patterns. The tattoo does not appear inked — it looks grown. Beneath the skin, the surface resembles cracked, blackened chitin, threaded with faint, ember-like veins that glow dimly within the fractures. The pattern is uneven and incomplete, as if something beneath it once tried to emerge but was forcibly halted. When activated, the lines pulse with deep violet-black energy, and the fractures spread outward across the body — crawling over the shoulders, arms, and torso like living cracks. From these fractures, thin, shadowy strands — like strands of silk woven from darkness — lash outward, briefly forming fragmented, chitinous extensions before snapping back into the body. The pattern subtly tightens and shifts when the wearer is tense — almost as if restraining something beneath the surface. The tattoo’s texture and tone occasionally shift in subtle ways when exposed to strong emotion or shifting light, though this has no effect on its function. Tattoo Attunement To attune to this item, you hold the needle to your skin where you want the tattoo to appear, pressing the needle there throughout the attunement process. When the attunement is complete, the needle turns into the ink that becomes the tattoo, which appears on the skin. If your attunement to the tattoo ends, the tattoo vanishes, and the needle reappears in your space. Magical Strikes While the tattoo is on your skin, your unarmed strikes are considered magical for the purpose of overcoming immunity and resistance to nonmagical attacks, and you gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls with unarmed strikes. Eldritch Maul As a bonus action, you can empower the tattoo for 1 minute. For the duration, each of your melee attacks with a weapon or an unarmed strike can reach a target up to 15 feet away, as shadowed, silk-like extensions erupt from the chitinous fractures, striking distant targets in your stead. These extensions momentarily solidify into jagged, incomplete limb-like forms, resembling fragments of something that never fully manifested. In addition, your melee attacks deal an extra 1d6 force damage on a hit. Once used, this bonus action can't be used again until the next dawn. Minor Property: Painful You feel a persistent, underlying pain while bearing this tattoo. The sensation manifests as a dull, burning pressure beneath the skin, centered around the chitin-like fractures. The discomfort intensifies with stress, movement, or emotional strain. When the tattoo is activated, the pain sharpens — the fractures feel as though they are pulling apart from within, forcing unseen energy outward through the body. This pain does not impose mechanical penalties, but it is constant and cannot be ignored. Curse – Residual Mark of the Spider Queen The tattoo carries a lingering spiritual instability born from an interrupted transformation. While attuned, the wearer suffers the following minor curse: Minor Detrimental Property – Painful The tattoo is not a passive mark — it is a restrained transformation. The wearer constantly feels as though something beneath the skin is pressing outward, held in place only by the unstable magic of the tattoo. This manifests as persistent physical discomfort and an ever-present awareness of what the body almost became. This effect cannot be voluntarily suppressed. Curse Limitation The curse cannot be removed by Remove Curse. Breaking attunement suppresses the tattoo’s magic but does not fully remove the lingering sensation of its presence. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 🕷️ Commander’s Veil (Cloak of Billowing) Wondrous Item, common Description This long, layered cloak is crafted from dark Underdark silk interwoven with fine strands of giant spider silk. The fabric is denser than expected, carrying a subtle weight that causes it to fall in heavy, controlled folds rather than shifting freely. When worn, the cloak drapes in multiple overlapping panels, deliberately obscuring the natural outline of the body. Its structure is intentional — broad across the shoulders and long along the back — designed to break up the wearer’s silhouette and conceal irregularities beneath its layered form. The surface of the fabric absorbs light rather than reflecting it, giving the cloak a muted, almost void-like presence even under direct illumination. Along the seams and edges, faint, thorn-like filigree patterns are woven into the silk — subtle and easy to miss unless viewed up close. These patterns seem to echo organic, branching structures, as though inspired by something grown rather than crafted. When the cloak rests, it hangs in deep, still shadows. When it moves, it does so with purpose. Billowing As a bonus action, you can cause the cloak to billow dramatically. When activated, the cloak does not flutter erratically. Instead, the layered silk unfolds outward in a controlled, deliberate motion, expanding its silhouette before settling again with quiet weight. The movement feels guided rather than wind-driven — smooth, measured, and precise. For a brief moment, the cloak seems larger than it should be, its layers stretching outward like a darkened veil before collapsing back into place. This effect is purely visual and has no additional mechanical benefit. Minor Property – Temperate The cloak adapts subtly to environmental conditions. While wearing it, you are comfortable in temperatures between 0 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The fabric never feels damp, overly cold, or suffocatingly warm. It maintains a steady, neutral comfort against the skin regardless of surrounding climate. Flavor At first glance, the cloak appears to be a practical garment suited for a harsh subterranean environment. On closer inspection, its structure suggests something more deliberate: it is not simply made to protect — but to contain. It hides more than shape. It softens movement. It obscures what lies beneath. When still, it settles into layered shadow. When stirred, it does not react — it responds. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 🕷️ Sigil of the Bound Flesh (Eldritch Claw Tattoo) Wondrous Item (tattoo), uncommon (requires attunement) Appearance Dieses Tattoo manifestiert sich im hohen Nacken, direkt an der Grenze zwischen Hals und oberer Wirbelsäule – an einer Stelle, die der Träger selbst kaum sehen kann, die aber für andere aus bestimmten Blickwinkeln sichtbar ist. Das Zeichen ist klein und präzise, etwa von der Größe einer großen Murmel bis hin zu einem kleinen Amulett – deutlich erkennbar, aber weit entfernt davon, dominant zu wirken. Im Gegensatz zu gewöhnlichen Tätowierungen wirkt das Sigil nicht wie Tinte unter der Haut, sondern wie ein magisch eingebranntes Zeichen. Die Linien erscheinen als feine, leicht glühende Verfärbung der Haut, als wäre das Symbol einst eingebrannt worden – jedoch ohne Narben oder tatsächliche Verletzung. Je nach Licht wirken die Linien: leicht rötlich violett schimmernd oder in den Farben des Hauses, dem der Träger gehört Das Leuchten ist normalerweise schwach, fast unauffällig, kann jedoch kurz intensiver aufflammen – besonders bei emotionaler Anspannung oder wenn die Magie des Tattoos aktiv ist. Living Ownership Sigil Das Zeichen ist nicht statisch. Wenn sich der Besitzanspruch über den Träger ändert, beginnt das Sigil sich langsam unter der Haut zu verschieben, als würde die Magie selbst die Form neu zeichnen. Farben verlaufen ineinander, Linien verblassen und entstehen neu, bis das Zeichen schließlich das Sigil des neuen Besitzers oder Hauses angenommen hat. Während dieser Veränderung fühlt sich das Tattoo an wie ein erneutes, langsames Einbrennen, begleitet von einem dumpfen, ziehenden Schmerz. Tattoo Attunement To attune to this item, you hold the needle to your skin where you want the tattoo to appear, pressing the needle there throughout the attunement process. When the attunement is complete, the needle turns into ink that becomes the tattoo, which appears on your skin. If your attunement to the tattoo ends, the tattoo vanishes, and the needle reappears in your space. Magical Strikes While the tattoo is on your skin, your unarmed strikes are considered magical for the purpose of overcoming immunity and resistance to nonmagical attacks, and you gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls with unarmed strikes. Eldritch Maul As a bonus action, you can empower the tattoo for 1 minute. For the duration, each of your melee attacks with a weapon or an unarmed strike can reach a target up to 15 feet away, as shadowy, silk-like extensions lash out from your body toward distant targets. In addition, your melee attacks deal an extra 1d6 force damage on a hit. Once this bonus action has been used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn. Minor Property: Painful (Bound Reprisal) You experience a harmless flash of pain when using the item. However, this pain is not constant. Instead, the tattoo reacts to disobedience. Whenever you take an action that directly opposes, harms, deceives, or meaningfully undermines: the recognized owner of the mark, or the house, faction, or authority the sigil currently represents the tattoo flares violently. This manifests as: a sharp, burning pain beneath the skin a brief surge of heat radiating from the mark the sigil glowing intensely for a moment This pain has no mechanical penalty, but it is immediate, unmistakable, and cannot be suppressed. At the DM’s discretion, particularly severe acts of defiance may cause the pain to linger for several moments or intensify. Curse: Brand of Ownership The tattoo binds more than flesh—it enforces recognition. While attuned to this item, you are always aware—consciously or not—that the mark signifies ownership. This manifests as a subtle but persistent psychological pressure: a sense of being observed or claimed an instinctive hesitation before acting against the bearer of the sigil a lingering awareness of your place within a hierarchy not of your choosing When the ownership of the mark changes, you feel a sudden, invasive shift—like something inside you being re-aligned. The sensation is brief but deeply unsettling. The curse cannot be removed by remove curse. Ending attunement suppresses the tattoo’s magic, but the memory of the sensation lingers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Living Veil Choker Wondrous Item, common (Clothes of Mending, reflavored) Appearance This elegant choker appears to be a finely crafted piece of Underdark adornment, formed from dark silver filigree that curves in organic, flowing lines around a softly glowing central gem. Delicate chains and ornamental elements hang with perfect balance, catching even the faintest light. The inner band, however, is seamless and faintly translucent, as though made from an impossibly smooth fabric stretched over something fluid beneath. Subtle hues of rose, violet, and muted crimson drift within its structure, shifting almost imperceptibly when viewed from different angles. There is no visible clasp. Yet the choker always sits exactly where it should. Material The choker is composed of a strange, living-derived substance, bound into a stable ornamental form. It carries a constant soft red–rose–violet shimmer, regardless of lighting Its surface feels cool, smooth, and faintly responsive, like skin that is not entirely inert A subtle, almost pleasant sweet scent lingers around it Despite its unusual nature, the material is resilient and holds its shape as reliably as crafted metal or fine leather. Behavior When worn, the choker settles into place with quiet precision, adjusting itself to the wearer’s form without visible effort. It neither tightens nor slips, but remains perfectly fitted at all times. Over time, the choker subtly alters its appearance: the filigree shifts in fine detail the glow of the central gem deepens or softens chains and decorative elements rearrange themselves slightly These changes occur without command, as if the item simply reshapes itself according to unseen preferences. Living Core Beneath its refined exterior, the choker houses a bound, semi-liquid core that remains stable within its structure. This core is capable of absorbing external substances introduced to it in small amounts. When fed in this way, the material gradually integrates the substance and, over time, releases it again in controlled traces through direct contact with the wearer. The process is subtle, continuous, and difficult to perceive without careful observation. To most, this is simply an unusual quality of its material. Properties This item functions as Clothes of Mending: The choker continuously repairs minor damage to itself, restoring wear, scratches, and structural imperfections. Any portion that is completely destroyed cannot be restored in this way. Metamorphic The item periodically alters its appearance in slight ways. You have no control over these changes, which have no effect on its function. These alterations always remain within the form of refined attire. The choker may shift its design, ornamentation, or structure, but never becomes armor or a non-clothing object. Strange Material The choker is made from a material that behaves unlike conventional metal, cloth, or leather. Though its internal nature appears fluid and adaptive, its durability and function remain unaffected. Extended Forms More refined versions of the Living Veil Choker are known to extend beyond a simple collar. In such cases, the material may: spread across the upper body form seamless, form-fitting garments create the appearance of layered attire without visible stitching Even in these expanded states, it remains categorized as clothing, not armor. Subtle Presence The choker maintains constant, perfect contact with the wearer. It: never feels loose never shifts unintentionally adjusts naturally to movement and posture At times, it may seem to respond faintly to warmth, motion, or emotional tension. It does not resist. But it is never entirely passive. In-World Perception To most observers, this is: An exquisite and exotic piece of Underdark craftsmanship—rare, refined, and highly desirable. To those who study it more closely: The material does not behave like something made. It behaves like something that has learned to remain in form.
