Downtime: Learn the Culture (Mulmaster)

Unlock: Manual of Bodily Health (Table H). This book contains health and diet tips, and its words are charged with magic. If you spend 48 hours over a period of 6 days or fewer studying the book's contents and practicing its guidelines, your Constitution score increases by 2, as does your maximum for that score. The manual then loses its magic, but regains it in a century.

Story Award: Learn the Culture (Mulmaster). You may spend 5 downtime days (and the associated lifestyle cost) In Mulmaster touring the city and learning the history of the region. You gain advantage on any single ability check relating to Mulmaster, the Brotherhood of the Cloaks, the cults of Elemental Evil, or the Red Wizards of Thay or on any single attack against an elemental or undead creature. Once the advantage benefit has been used, you may return to Mulmaster every time you gain a level and perform this question again by spending the required downtime and lifestyle expenses.

Thieves' Tools

Disguise Kit

Unlock: Nine Lives Stealer Scimitar. You gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. The sword has 9 charges. If you score a critical hit against a creature that has fewer than 100 hit points, it must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be slain instantly as the sword tears its life force from its body (a construct or an undead is immune). The sword loses 1 charge if the creature is also slain. When the sword has no charges remaining, it loses this property. The hilt of this weapon is covered with carved, ancient Rellanic runes that seem to comprise nonsensical words or, possibly, a list of proper names. This item can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.

Story Award: The Ecology of the Tarrasque. Your research on the tarrasque grants you an encyclopedic knowledge of the history and lore of this creature. This award may have additional repercussions in future QCC modules. Membership in the Royal Order of Tarrasque Herders Dryearth has offered you membership in the Order if you swear an oath to come to need of any civilized people threatened upon the return of the true tarrasque. This award may have additional repercussions in future QCC modules.

Honorary Bullywug. For helping to free their god from the bonds of oppression, a bullywug tribe of Chult owes you a lifedebt. Should you ever find yourself in the presence of this bullywug tribe in Chult during a future QCC adventure, you will be treated as an ally. Should you ever willingly kill a froghemoth while in Chult or in the presence of a bullywug, this story award is lost.

Item: Potion of Flying

Unlock: Potion of Fire Giant Strength. Potion of Speed.

Love's Bite (Nine Lives Stealer). You gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. The sword has 1d8 + 1 charges. If you score a critical hit against a creature that has fewer than 100 hit points, it must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be slain instantly as the sword tears its life force from its body (a construct or an undead is immune). The sword loses 1 charge if the creature is slain. When the sword has no charges remaining, it loses this property. This item can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. The blade of this elegantly-curved longsword is fashioned of silvery-blue steel gilt in gold. A strip of delicate paper hangs from the pommel, upon which is inscribed a breathtakingly beautiful poem. When the wielder scores a critical hit with the weapon, its heart is filled with the agonizing ache of spurned love.

Unlock: Tome of Leadership and Influence

Unlock: Scarab of Protection. Wondrous Item, legendary (requires attunement). This pin is carved in the likeness of Moa the Jaculi, trickster god of Omu. If you hold this jaculi-shaped medallion in your hand for 1 round, an inscription appears on its surface revealing its magical nature. It provides two benefits while it is on your person:

• You have advantage on saving throws against spells.

• The scarab has 12 charges. If you fail a saving throw against a necromancy spell or a harmful effect originating from an undead creature, you can use your reaction to expend 1 charge and turn the failed save into a successful one. The scarab crumbles into powder and is destroyed when its last charge is expended. This pin is carved in the likeness of Moa the Jaculi, trickster god of Omu. While you wear this scarab, you are hidden from scrying while you sleep but if you ever tell a lie the scarab becomes unattuned. This item can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.

Story Award: Friend of the Ageless. Through your efforts to thwart Dendar the Night Serpent, you inadvertently freed the lich Rhaugilath from his bondage to the archlich Larloch. While you have made one friend, another no doubt calls you an enemy.

Cloak of Invisibility

Unlock: Efreeti Chain. Armor (chain mail), legendary (requires attunement). While wearing this armor, you gain a +3 bonus to AC, you are immune to fire damage, and you can understand and speak Primordial. In addition, you can stand on and walk across molten rock as if it were solid ground. The efreeti Prince Rashidi al-Zahar ibn Rath transmogrified an efreeti sultana into this delicate suit of crimson chain mail.
