Traded Bellos' Tome of Leadership and Influence for Nesalli's Manual of Quickness of Action.

Player: Joel McKinnon.
DCI: 4317018136.
Character: Nesalli.
Item: Manual of Quickness of Action.
Description: This book contains coordination and balance exercises, 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 Dexterity score increases by 2, as does your maximum for that score. The manual then loses its magic, but regains it in a century.

Item Location: CCC-BMG-37 HULB03-01 Weakness of Rock

Goggles of Night

Mantle of Spell Resistance

Finished Level 1, started Level 2.

Unlock: Circlet of Blasting. Wondrous item, uncommon. While wearing this circlet, you can use an action to cast the scorching ray spell with it. When you make the spell's attacks, you do so with an attack bonus of +5. The circlet can't be used this way again until the next dawn.

Unlock: Circlet of Human Perfection. Wondrous item, uncommon. Only humanoids can attune to it. The circlet transforms its attuned wearer into an attractive human of average height and weight. The circlet chooses the physical characteristics of the form, such as age, gender, skin color, hair color and voice. Except for size, the wearer's statistics and racial traits don't change, nor do items worn or carried by the wearer. Removing the circlet ends the effect.

Unlock: Tome of Understanding. This book contains intuition and Insight exercises, 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 Wisdom score increases by 2, as does your maximum for that score. The manual then loses its magic, but regains it in a century.

Unlock: Crystal Ball. Wonderous Item, Very Rare (requires attunement). The typical crystal ball, a very rare item, is about 6 inches in diameter. While touching it, you can cast the scrying spell (save DC 17) with it. When a character that is attuned to this Crystal Ball spends an action peering into it, they can see events that have occurred in their past.

Unlock: Ring of Regeneration. This band of emerald is engraved with the face of a snarling troll. While the ring works to heal its wearer, it radiates a comfortable warmth and the troll head’s expression changes to a wicked grin.

Plate Armor of Etherealness. This armor has a holy symbol of Shar forged into the breastplate. While you wear it, you can speak and understand Qualith.

Horn of Valhalla (Iron)

Cubic Gate. Created by the wizard Hilather, the six sides of this cube are covered in characters from the language of Alzhedo. The six sides are keyed to: the Tree Blight: Prime Material, the Elemental Plane of Fire, the Nine Hells, the Far Realm, the Outlands, and Arborea.

Chest of Preserving (common magic item worth 2tcp, in which stuff cannot rot/go bad. A portable fridge!)

Rod of Resurrection. Rod, legendary (requires attunement by a cleric, druid, or paladin). The rod has 5 charges. While you hold it, you can use an action to cast one of the following spells from it: heal (expends 1 charge) or resurrection (expends 5 charges). The rod regains 1 expended charge daily at dawn. If the rod is reduced to 0 charges, roll d20. On a 1, the rod disappears in a burst of radiance. This item is found on Magic Item Table I in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. This rod is engraved with sun symbols and bejeweled with faceted citrines. It glows equal to a torch when within 100 ft. of undead.

...and as his story comes to an end, the Barbarian Bellos accepts the Mad Mage Halasters offer of apprenticeship, and pledges to learn the ways of Wizardry and magic.
And he lived happily in Halaster's tower, honing his mind and body to the ultimate heights of power, until the end of his days.

CHARACTER RETIRED

Unlock: QUARYL’S CODEX (TOME OF THE STILLED TONGUE). Wondrous Item, legendary (requires attunement by a wizard). This thick tome contains pages of thin, hammered copper and has thing covers of slate. It is held shut by a severed elven tongue. Occasionally, the attuned user of this spellbook finds messages that have been scrawled by someone claiming to be Netherese; this ghostly writer refers to itself simply as “the warlock” and frequently opines on the power of the one true god of magic: Mystryl. This item can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.

Story Awards: Larloch’s Unblinking Gaze. “The warlock”—in truth, the Netherese lich Larloch—has taken an interest in you. You have already discovered that he can control undead creatures with but a thought and that he has a significant understanding of the way that the Weave works. This may work for or against you in future encounters with Larloch and his agents.

Lore of the Ages. The corrupted lorenorn Quaryl Tellasarim had amassed a wealth of arcane knowledge over the years. The tomes are worth a fair amount to collectors, but as they are first-hand accounts of direct interactions with the Weave the scholars and acolytes of Candlekeep would give a counter offer: a tenday of access to the great library’s vast resources in exchange for a full set of 6 tomes of a given school of magic. Alternately, you can turn in 3 sets of tomes in to Candlekeep in exchange for a 7th-level spell scroll of your choosing from an Adventurers League-approved source. If you attempt to surrender forgeries or duplicate copies to the acolytes at Candlekeep they will quickly discover your ruse. You will be ejected from Candlekeep until such time as you make a 10,000 gp donation or discover another campaign-approved method of removing this penalty.

Myth Drannor Explorer. You have entered the ruins of Myth Drannor and survived to tell the tale. While this is still considered a holy place for elves across Faerûn, others may be keenly interested in hearing of your exploits. When you stay at a tavern in a large city (such as the Yawning Portal in Waterdeep), you may make a DC 18 Charisma (Persuasion) check; if successful your drinks and lodging are paid for by the other patrons. If unsuccessful, you are stuck with the bar tab for everyone that night. High-ranking elves may have a dim view of your unsanctioned activities in Myth Drannor. At your DM’s discretion, your Charisma-based skill checks are made with disadvantage when dealing with elf nobles and very strong spellcasters.
