Tuesday Magic Item – Accursed Bone Arrow

Gollaon took cover behind Voddick’s shield as the arrows rained down, several shattered into white and yellowed fragments.  One of the soldiers beside them howled in pain and then feel silent.

“Bastards!” said Gollaon, unlimbering his short sword.

“What foul magic are they using now?” asked Voddick.

“Accused arrows,” said Gollaon.  “Those killed by them rise as the unliving.”

“Bastards!”

Accursed Bone Arrow

These arrows are tipped in bone arrow heads and often have bone shafts but they are always light and fragile and must be treated with care.  They suck the moisture out of anything they are in contact with so they are best stored in metal containers.

Tuesday Magic Item – Medallion of Sanguine Strength

“I do not like how that noble is always there when the cattle are slaughtered,” said Voddick, watching said noble over his mug of ale.

“That is wise,” agreed Gollaon.  “I am fairly certain the amulet they wear is a necrourgic item of some power.”

“Now that is even more troubling.”

“Agreed.  A willingness to use such power indicates a dangerous thirst for power.”

Medallion of Sanguine Strength

Before they are charged, these medallions are clear glass, usually with a few sigil etched upon them, when charged they become colorful, almost always red, even glowing if the charge is powerful enough.

Tuesday Magic Item – Collar of Savagery

“It was a nice cloak but not worth this much trouble,” said Voddick as he pulled himself up over the ridge.

Gollaon was close behind.  “And we even left it where it could be found once they started hunting us.  Some people have no sense of forgiveness.”  He cocked his head.  “The hounds are casting around for our scent again.”

“It is not the hounds I am worried about but the mastiffs,” said Voddick before taking a drink from his canteen.

“Truth,” nodded Gollaon.  “It looked as though there is some wicked magic on their collars too.”

“Well, we had best be going if we do not want to find out what it does.”

Collar of Savagery

These collars are usually made of thick leather and adorned with spikes, they look nasty because they are.

Tuesday Magic Item – Cloak of a Thousand Wings

Gollaon watched the aristocratic officer walk by, his gaze envious.

“It is the cloak you want, is it not?” asked Voddick once they were out of earshot.

“Yes, thrice-damn it, it is amazing,” replied Gollaon.

“We could steal it once out contract was up?”

“Tempting,” said Gollaon with a smile.  “Let us get a drink and scheme.”

“I will always take a drink, my friend.”

Cloak of a Thousand Wings

These cloaks are embroidered with many, many birds, if made perfectly five hundred of them.  The very act of crafting such complex item imbues the cloak with a certain low level of magic which can then be strengthened through further enchantments.

Tuesday Magic Item – Steadfast Staff

“That new arrival, the one with the staff, seems quite devoted to the defense of the local people,” said Voddick, watching them spar with several men-at-arms.

“Worthy ideals inspire righteous people,” replied Gollaon idly watching the fight.

“We should try and find some of those.”

“Worthy ideals or righteous people?”

“Both.”

Steadfast Staff

These simple wood staves are usually only decorated in the most simple manner, perhaps with the owner’s name or a local symbol.

Tuesday Magic Item – Corpse Custodian Pin

Voddick tossed the shovel aside.  “Ready!”

Gollaon gave him a hand up.  “They are ready to lay the corpses in.”

Voddick dropped his voice once they were away.  “I were prefer to put them on a pyre, with those necrourgists out there.”

“You must give our employers their traditions and they have protections.”

“Hopefully it will be enough.”

Corpse Custodian Pin

These are often mass produced with a disc of copper or silver usually decorated with religious iconography and sayings;  The pins that attach them are strong and made of steel or iron.

Tuesday Magic Item – Agent’s Seal

Voddick caught Gollaon’s elbow and led him away from the new arrival.  “Not a conquest to pursue,” Voddick said quietly, “an Agent of the Imperium.”

“Indeed?” said Gollaon glancing back. “They are rare.”

“And dangerous.”

“Good point.  Perhaps we should go and get a drink?”

Agent’s Seal

These seals serve both as identification and a way to secure communications for agents of a power, they are standardized within each organization and follow a pattern: made of a hard material, usually metal, sometime carved stone or wood, showing the symbol of the organization, inscribed with the name of the bearer and set with a crystal or gem.
