DC-FR-TNaiD Bryn Shander´s Questbord: Quest - Lost Expedition (As A Player Reward)

Loot: 100gp
1x Tear of Selûne (Gem of Brightness)

Dark Dancer's Raiment (Smoldering Breastplate)
Armor (breastplate), common

This armor looks more like a stage or dance garment than armor. Made of fine lunar moth silk, it drapes itself in flowing layers over the body. The fabric shimmers dark blue to black, crisscrossed with tiny star dots, as if the firmament itself were woven into it.

A mantle of lighter panels frames the silhouette, like the moon illuminating the night sky. Delicate silver ornaments and bracelets are attached to the hips and arms, appearing more like jewelry than armor. A single rose at the waist changes color depending on the phases of the moon—from midnight black to glistening lunar silver.

Optical Effect (Smoldering): A soft veil of shimmering mist rises from the silk, almost like stardust. In motion, it appears as if tiny sparks of light dance to the rhythm of the footsteps.

Special features:

Half the weight of a regular breastplate, made from elven weaving and lunar moth silk.

Minor Property – Songcraft:

When the wearer begins to dance or fight while dancing, a soft, ethereal melody sounds nearby. The song changes with the wearer's movements—sometimes rhythmic and wild, sometimes gentle and flowing.

Bracers of the Night Sky (Sentinel Shield)

Wondrous Item, uncommon (functions as Sentinel Shield)
Elven craftsmanship – half the weight

While holding this Shield, you have Advantage on Initiative rolls and Wisdom (Perception) checks. The Shield is emblazoned with a symbol of an eye.

"These polished silver bracers appear simple, almost unadorned, at first glance. They consist of three interlocking, wide rings that protect the forearm. At the center of each bracer rests a midnight-blue gemstone, so deep blue it appears almost black.

If the wearer is attacked in battle, the stone begins to glow, and a crack-like pattern spreads from it. From this shimmer emerges a shield the size of a tower's shield – as if the night sky itself had burst open.

Countless tiny stars twinkle in the cracks, while a single, larger star shines especially brightly, like the eye of a goddess watching over the wearer."

Visual Effect in Use:

With every attack that hits or is aimed at the wearer, the "crack pattern" briefly flares up.

The starry sky within the gemstone appears alive—stars twinkle and change their position as if they were real celestial bodies.

The light slowly fades once the danger has passed.

Special Features:

Half the weight of a normal Bracers, due to Elven craftsmanship and mithral.

Minor Property – Guardian: The wearer subconsciously senses dangers in their surroundings, as if a watchful star were shining in the sky above.

🕊Story Award: Frozen Beauty

You didn't break the ice, but you saw the beauty beneath.
For a moment, you felt your surroundings scrutinizing you—coldly, appreciatively, yet approvingly.
The wind carries the scent of fresh snow.

You are being watched; you have shown respect for beauty and silence. This respect is met with compassion.
Your footsteps leave barely a trace in the snow.

🩵Story Award: Explorer of the Rime

You touched the cold—and turned away.
Auril's frosty power tested you, but you did not accept it.
Instead, you chose knowledge and reason—the weapons that defy madness.

Bryn Shander, Luskan, and perhaps even the Arcane Brotherhood know that you challenged the ice itself.

When you hear the word "Auril," the air around you seems to grow colder for a moment—not as a threat, but as a reminder.

🌙 Story Award: The Last Dance in the Snow

You witnessed an ancient miracle—and the pain that lies within it.

In the ruins of the frozen Moon Grove, you found her: a dancer of the Eilistraee, frozen amidst an eternal dance. Her body had long since been encased in frost, but her soul had endured—hovering between prayer and oblivion.

As your battle against the Harpies of Cold raged, she sensed your courage, your resistance against Auril's cruel silence. Then her spirit awoke—a ghostly silhouette of silver light, dancing in the snow. Her sword glided like a beam of moonlight, her footsteps leaving traces of sparkling frost.

She fought at your side, not as a warrior, but as a song of movement—an embodiment of her goddess's grace and freedom.

And as the final cry faded, as silence enveloped the cauldron once more, she began her final dance.

Slowly, gracefully, carried by a wind that sounded like a forgotten melody. The snow glittered as if starlight were falling from the sky. Then it dissolved – a veil of silvery mist, drifting away into the darkness.

And as the last scream faded, as silence enveloped the cauldron once more, she began her final dance.

Slowly, gracefully, carried by a wind that sounded like a forgotten melody. The snow glittered as if starlight were falling from the sky. Then she dissolved—a veil of silvery mist, drifting away into the darkness.

Only the imprint of her footsteps remained in the ice.

But sometimes, when you stand beneath a cloud-covered sky and the frost glitters in the light of your torches, you think you hear a distant harp… and feel the soft smile of a dancer thanking you.

✨ Effect (dm decision):

As long as you remember her dance, you will receive a one-time bonus on a Wisdom check (Religion or Performance) when faced with themes of Eilistraee, Selûne, Sehanine, or divine inspiration.

Additionally, you will receive a subtle blessing: During dances, nighttime rituals, or celebratory moments outdoors, the light around you will appear to glow softly silver—as if the Dark Dancer were guiding your steps.

Durthar's Special Brew – "Strength Broth No. 7" (Potion of Hill Giant Strength)
Potion, Uncommon
A steaming monster in a clay bottle with a soot-encrusted cork
This cloudy, greenish brew smells of over-fermented sauerkraut, smoked fish, and a hint of burnt leather apron.
The brew bubbles gently, even at freezing temperatures, and occasionally seems to hiss from within—as if it itself doesn't quite agree to be drunk.
Durthar calls it his "breakthrough in liquid form"—others call it "a physical assault with surprisingly powerful results."
Those who drink it feel an immediate heat in their veins, the cracking of their knuckles... and turn a little green.
When you drink this potion, your Strength score changes to 21 for 1 hour. The potion has no effect on you if your Strength is equal to or greater than that score.
This potion’s transparent liquid has floating in it a sliver of light resembling a giant’s fingernail.

Story Award: Kiss the Walrus
It is said that whoever saves the heart of a talking walrus leaves traces in the ice – and in the song of the seas.
You have earned the gratitude of Yll'Guun, the child of the robin spirit.
By choosing to help the tormented love bull Yll'Guun, you have proven yourself not only as a skilled hunter, but also as the savior of an ancient animal spirit heritage.
The whimsical, sentimental walrus poet has not forgotten your actions – and your names now echo across the frozen lakes in his melodic roar. Whether this is a good thing for you remains to be seen, but at least you now have a “bard” who “sings” about you.
This Story Award can lead to interesting encounters in the adventures of TNaiD and TFContN.

Chardalyn-Harpune (Silvered Spear)
Weapon (Spear), Common

An alchemical process has bonded silver to this magic weapon. When you score a Critical Hit with it against a creature that is shape-shifted, the weapon deals one additional die of damage.

Forged from the purest, brightest chardalyn, the tip of this harpoon emits a soft, icy-blue glow that dances around the blade like floating mist. An ancient rune is carved deep into the chardalyn—it remains inconspicuous until the harpoon is activated with the command "Ljósta." Then the rune flickers like frozen moonlight, while a fine mist pours from the mouth of the small bear head engraved on the joint to the pole. Its snout is twisted into an icy grimace, and its eyes begin to glow ghostly, as if an ancient frost spirit were awakening. With the command "Deyfa," the glow is dimmed again, the rune fades, and the mist slowly recedes like the breath of a dying winter storm.

Minor Propety: Beacon. You can take a Bonus Action to cause the item to shed Bright Light in a 10- foot radius and Dim Light for an additional 10 feet, or to extinguish the light.

Heartshell Amulet (Periapt of Health)
Wondrous tem, Uncommon (Requires Attunement)

A delicate, heart-shaped shell amulet shimmers in soft pink tones. Fine grooves run like waves across its surface. It hangs from a band of softly woven seal hair, interspersed with small pearls and miniature shells. When held in the hand, it feels warm – like a ray of sunshine on salt-soaked skin. Some say it whispers in the breeze of the sound of distant shores.

While wearing this pendant, you can take a Magic action to regain 2d4 + 2 Hit Points. Once used, this property can’t be used again until the next dawn.

In addition, you have Advantage on saving throws to avoid or end the Poisoned condition while you wear this pendant.

Minor Propetie: Temperate. You are unharmed by temperatures of 0 degrees Fahrenheit or lower, and 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.
