Stone of Controlling Earth Elementals

Traded Peregrim's Stone of Controlling Earth Elementals for a Flame Tongue (Any Sword).

Character Name: Key

My DCI: 2318784444

Item Name: Flame Tongue Greatsword

Found in: CCC-YLRA01-02, Uneasy Lies the Head

Item Description: Weapon (any sword), rare (requires attunement). You can use a bonus action to speak this magic sword's command word, causing flames to erupt from the blade. These flames shed bright light in a 40-foot radius and dim light for an additional 40 feet. While the sword is ablaze, it deals an extra 2d6 fire damage to any target it hits. The flames last until you use a bonus action to speak the command word again or until you drop or sheathe the sword. This weapon was crafted for you by the expert smiths at the Emberstar Exchange to your specifications. Unlike most flame tongue weapons, this weapon can take the form of your choice from any melee weapon made at the forge: anything in the Player’s Handbook or D&D Basic Rules except club, greatclub, spear, quarterstaff, lance or whip.

Staff of Withering. Staff, rare (requires attunement by a cleric, druid, or warlock). This staff has 3 charges and regains 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn. The staff can be wielded as a magic quarterstaff. On a hit, it deals damage as a normal quarterstaff, and you can expend 1 charge to deal an extra 2d10 necrotic damage to the target. In addition, the target must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or have disadvantage for 1 hour on any ability check or saving throw that uses Strength or Constitution. This item is found on Magic Item Table G in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. This staff is made of human bones wrapped in mithral wire. Whenever a charge is expended your eye alight with cosmetic black flames for a round.

Oil of Slipperiness

Desolation (Sword of Sharpness). Weapon (greatsword), very rare (requires attunement). When you attack an object with this magic sword and hit, maximize your weapon damage dice against the target. When you attack a creature with this weapon and roll a 20 on the attack roll, that target takes an extra 14 slashing damage. Then roll another d20. If you roll a 20, you lop off one of the target's limbs, with the effect of such loss determined by the GM. If the creature has no limb to sever, you lop off a portion of its body instead. In addition, you can speak the sword's command word to cause the blade to shed bright light in a 10- foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet. Speaking the command word again or sheathing the sword puts out the light. This item is found on Magic Item Table I in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. This greatsword of sharpness is made from a strange black material that feels like frigid steel. If commanded to shed light, only you can see the light.

Ring of Shooting Stars (Table H). Ring, very rare (requires attunement outdoors at night). While wearing this ring in dim light or darkness, you can cast dancing lights and light from the ring at will. Casting either spell from the ring requires an action. The ring has 6 charges for the following other properties. The ring regains 1d6 expended charges daily at dawn. Faerie Fire. You can expend 1 charge as an action to cast faerie fire from the ring. Ball Lightning. You can expend 2 charges as an action to create one to four 3-foot-diameter spheres of lightning. The more spheres you create, the less powerful each sphere is individually. Each sphere appears in an unoccupied space you can see within 120 feet of you. The spheres last as long as you concentrate (as if concentrating on a spell), up to 1 minute. Each sphere sheds dim light in a 30-foot radius. As a bonus action, you can move each sphere up to 30 feet, but no farther than 120 feet away from you. When a creature other than you comes within 5 feet of a sphere, the sphere discharges lightning at that creature and disappears. That creature must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes lightning damage based on the number of spheres you created. Spheres Lightning Damage 4 2d4 3 2d6 2 5d4 1 4d12 Shooting Stars. You can expend 1 to 3 charges as an action. For every charge you expend, you launch a glowing mote of light from the ring at a point you can see within 60 feet of you. Each creature within a 15-foot cube originating from that point is showered in sparks and must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 5d4 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. This item is found on Magic Item Table H in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. While wearing this ring, you are filled with feelings of safety and contentment, unless you bear witness to the symbol of Shar. Then you feel only rage.

Planes in Pockets in Planes. Tier 4 Story Reward. The Thayan mansion in Mulmaster was comprised of a series of nested demiplanes and pocket dimensions, and you survived the exploration – and brought back lingering traces of that magic. As a result, you always know what plane you are on, and if you find yourself away from your native plane you may excise this magic to return to the Prime Material plane immediately. If you do this, destroy this story award.

Szass Tam’s Arcane Essence. Epic boon, unique. You have wrested away part of Szass Tam’s essence. Specifically, this spark of energy was originally wrested from the vile lich himself, and grants one additional 9th level spell slot, provided that you already have one. This item can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide under the entry for Boon of High Magic.

...and as his story comes to an end, the Cleric Peregrim defeats Szass Tam in the name of Lathander, and retires to the simple life of a Dawnbringer.
And he lived happily in Waterdeep, spreading the light of the morning to all those in the darkness, until the end of his days.

Ring of Mind Shielding. While wearing this ring, you are immune to magic that allows other creatures to read your thoughts, determine whether you are lying, know your alignment, or know your creature type. Creatures can telepathically communicate with you only if you allow it. You can use an action to cause the ring to become
invisible until you use another action to make it visible, until you remove the ring, or until you die. If you die while wearing the ring, your soul enters it, unless it already houses a soul. You can remain in the ring or depart for the afterlife. As long as your soul is in the ring, you can telepathically communicate with any creature wearing it.

This ornate silver ring is engraved with the words “Be where they are not” in the Alzhedo language of southwestern Faerûn.

Rod of Rulership. Rod, rare (requires attunement). You can use an action to present the rod and command obedience from each creature of your choice that you can see within 120 feet of you. Each target must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by you for 8 hours. While charmed in this way, the creature regards you as its trusted leader. If harmed by you or your companions, or commanded to do something contrary to its nature, a target ceases to be charmed in this way. The rod can’t be used again until the next dawn. This ornate wooden rod is a dark green hue, about two and a half feet in length. The head of the rod is a circular, heavy scepter head, with green banding and rubies interlaid into a gold crown. The base of the rod is a gold-leafed leather pommel with a tassel. This item can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.
