The Party Rewards

Start to Game 3 
Each PC has chosen to take an uncommon magic item as part of their starting equipment in lieu of 800gp. This means you will have next to no money upon your arrival in Atlantys, but who needs that crap anyway?

You may choose, as we go along in the adventure, to have your item (or other items in the game) become more prominent if you wish. Instead of gaining new wealth or magic, your “treasure” will be an increase in power in the item. We will work this out individually and decide how this power will arise. For example, Logan’s item, The Dryad’s Collar, might become more powerful after an encounter with a potent forest/jungle creature or powerful fey in Atlantys.


Logan - The Dryad’s Collar
After the last time your character was visited by the outside world, he had an unusual encounter. A young dryad came forth from her tree. She was too young to speak, too young to understand the world around her. She reached out with the untouched wood of her fingers and stroked your cheek. Then, she fell to the ground, old and shriveled and dead.

Your character prayed over her body and sought out some sign. The following day, her body was gone and in its place was the Dryad’s Collar. Your character knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that it was meant for him and its creation led you to decide to journey to Atlantys to further unlock its power.

Mechanics Notes:
The Dryad’s Collar functions mechanically as a pair of Boots of Elvenkind, DMG p155.
Wondrous Item, no attunement required (might change if becomes more powerful).
While you wear this item your steps make no sound regardless of the surface you are moving across. You also have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks that rely on moving silently. The Collar changes shape with your wild shape and functions in all forms.


Jason – Rod of the Pact Keeper +1
Discovered on your person on the day of your resurrection, this rod was once an item of your character’s history (you decide) transformed by your pact-maker as a physical symbol of your agreement. Its very existence holds deeply religious connotations and anyone else serving the same ancient fey being would likely desire it if they knew. You have discovered over time that the rod is unbreakable and it periodically and randomly alters its appearance in slight ways beyond your control.

Mechanical Notes:
DMG p197 (requires attunement by a warlock)
While holding this rod, you gain a bonus to spell attack rolls and to the saving throw DCs of your warlock spells. The bonus is determined by the rod’s rarity (+1). In addition, you can regain one warlock spell slot as an action while holding the rod. You can’t use this property again until you finish a long rest.

Nicholas – Slippers of Spider Climbing
This item was discovered by your character on a recent incursion into the depths of the Riven Wood. You were certain of their mystical nature, but did not trust their unusual design. The lightweight boots appeared to be made of huge leaves wrapped together and stitched with a webwork of vines scrawled across. On the night of your return, a druid of the Verdant Council examined them and told you that they are ancient and must belong to a lost race of elves. Furthermore, the webwork of vines appears to be writing that will only reveal its true nature under a blood moon in a faraway land.

Mechanical Notes:
DMG p200
Wondrous item (requires attunment)
While you wear these light shoes, you can move up, down, and across vertical surfaces and upside down along ceilings, while leaving your hands free. You have a climbing speed equal to your walking speed. However, the slippers don’t allow you to move this way on a slippery surface such as one covered by ice or oil.


Kyle – Cloak of Elvenkind
Upon your character’s decision to depart for Atlantys, a lady of the Keladr’rhem (People of the Wood; Wood elves) (You choose name and position) came forth and bestowed upon you this precious gift. It was made by her own hand over a year, crafted with the leaves of the Riven Wood. She gave it to remind you of your home and your tribe. Throughout your travels you have noted that in addition to its other properties the cloak is always clean, always gleaming, and always has a faint scent of your ancient woodland home.  

Mechanical Notes:
DMG p158
Wondrous item (requires attunement)
While you wear this cloak with its hood up, Wisdom (Perception) checks made to see you have disadvantage and you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to hid, as the cloak’s color shifts to camouflage you. Pulling the hood up or down requires an action.


Charlie – The Witcher’s Blade
Upon completion of your training you were given a set of items to fulfill your purpose. One of them was this blade, a sword crafted from a rare ingot brought back by a Witcher legend from the island of Atlantys decades prior. The material is called orichalcum and is found only upon the island. It was the only thing this legendary hero was able to bring back with him and he died before he could explain its power.

When you draw this blade you feel a supernatural confidence and near-righteous power pulsating through your soul. It also serves as a beacon, reflecting the light of your soul. When drawn, as a bonus ation, you may cause the blade to shed bright light in a 10’ radius or dim the light around you in the same radius.

Mechanical Notes:
Weapon +1
DMG p213
You have a bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. The bonus is determined by the weapon’s rarity (+1).

2x Potions of Bottled Breath
PotA p222
Potion, Uncommon
This bottle contains a breath of elemental air. When you inhale it, you either exhale it or hold it. If you exhale the breath, you gain the effect of the gust of wind spell. If you hold the breath, you don't need to breathe for 1 hour, though can end this benefit early (for example, to speak). Ending it early doesn't give you the benefit of exhaling the breath. 

Random assorted gear and equipment. Swordfish blades, chain shirt, crab shell shields, and a net.

The Jewel-Encrusted Heart of Tezzicteca (Identify is incapable of determining the power of this item)

Hew, +1 Axe
Hew is a rusty old battleaxe of dwarven manufacture. Runes in Dwarvish on the head read "Hew," and the rust is misleading. Hew is a +1 battleaxe that deals maximum damage when the wielder hits a plant creature or an object made of wood. The axe's creator was a dwarf smith who feuded with the dryads of the jungle. Whoever carries the axe feels uneasy whenever traveling through a forested region.

Driftglobe
Wonderous item, uncommon (DMG p166)
This small sphere of thick glass weighs 1lb. If you are within 60' of it, you can speak its command word ("corpselight") and cause it to emanate the light or daylight spell. Once used, the daylight effect can't be used again until the next dawn. You can speak another command word ("obeisance") as an action to make the iluminated globe rise into the air and float no more than 5' off the ground. The globe hovers in this way until you or another creature gasps it. If you move more than 60' from the hovering globe, it follows you until it is within 60' of you. It takes the shortest route to do so. If prevented from moving, the globe sinks gently to the ground and becomes inactive and its light winks out. 

The Band of Tlalo-Ka
Requires attunement 

A modified Ring of Mind Shielding (see below) with a captured portion of Tlalo-Ka’s soul bound within. It will grow in power as the game progresses. It provides an additional power that may wane or disappear entirely as the game goes on: it protects the wearer and its allies from all direct violent acts by Tlalo-Ka. Designed as a stone ring with tiny emeralds and designs of feathered serpents worked into the material. 
 
Ring of Mind Shielding (Uncommon, requires attunement) 
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. 

The ring is bound with the soul of the green dragon, Tezzicteca. She retains all of her personality and memory and can telepathically communicate with anyone wearing the ring unless they wish to stop the communication.





Rewards from Game 6



The Bound Knights: 4xhalf-plate and shields; 4xlongswords, 1 mace, an elven longbow, and 2xheavy crossbows. A potion of invulnerability hidden in Culver's palm. The Song of Leaves (see below).
 
The Song of Leaves 
(Usable only by Paladin) [Set Item*]
 
Thick jungle leaves curl themselves into the form of a slender quiver, empty save for the smell of summer rain. Woven in the veins of the leaves is a silver thread forming words in the ancient fey language of the Sylvar’rhem [Sylvan]. Twin names stand out, words of ancient power: the Knights of Summer and the Song Between the Leaves.
 
This quiver has 7 charges. Once attuned, with the quiver at your side, you may use an action to expend a charge. Each charge summons a silvered arrow within the quiver which remains until fired. These silvered arrows grant a +1 bonus to attack and damage and allow a paladin to use the smite ability at range.
While an arrow exists, the quiver’s maximum charges is reduced by one. The quiver regains 1d6+1 expended charges each day with the rising sun. If you expend the quiver’s last charge the seventh arrow created glows a vibrant gold. This arrow doubles ability and proficiency bonuses to attack and upon a hit is considered an automatic crit. Once this last arrow is fired, the quiver dries up and whispers away upon the wind.
 
*This item may grant further benefit if others of its kind are used in conjunction.

By tapping into the natural Sylvan nature of Merata and the strange aberrant world of Limbo, the druid can increase his ability to shapeshift. For every four levels the druid possesses he may choose a single Fey creature or Aberration that otherwise meets the CR requirements of his Wild Shape ability. He may now Wild Shape into one of those creatures. Each creature choice remains permanent and is chosen at every 4 character levels and is subject to DM approval.

Ruin, Curse of the Emerald King
(requires attunement*)
Ruin, the curse of the Emerald King, is a dwarven maul once wielded by the chieftain of the Vikubix himself. It is carved with dwarven runes all associated with the holy signs of the Emerald Dwarves. The library books in Wave Echo Cave tell a tale of woe about the hammer. It was used by the Emerald King against a horde of enemies, Kang and Hunapu, who were driven down into Wave Echo Cave in times past. The Emerald King went berserk and bathed the hammer in the flames of the Spellforge and his own hate. He went berserk, killing enemies at first, but then anyone who came near to him. In the end, he had slain every one of his clan who could still stand and fight. He died of his tremendous wounds.
 
Ruin is aggressive and fills the mind of its wielder with the war music of drums and destruction during the berserk state, blocking all sounds of allies who might calm him down.
 
Ruin is a dwarven maul (2H, Heavy; 2d6) that grants a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls. In addition, while attuned, the wielder’s maximum hit points are increased by 1 for each level attained. Ruin also grants the wielder the ability to cast the spell shatter once per long rest with special modifications.
 
Shatter: A sudden loud ringing noise, painfully intense, erupts from the point of impact of the hammer. Each creature in a 15’ radius sphere centered on the point of impact must make a Constitution saving throw (DC 8+wielder proficiency + wielder Str modifier). A creature takes 3d8 thunder damage on a failed save or half as much on a successful one. A creature made of inorganic material such as stone, crystal, or metal has disadvantage on this saving throw. Nonmagical equipment and objects not being worn or carried also takes the damage in the spell’s area. Finally, nonmagical equipment and objects on the target hit by the hammer takes this damage as well.
 
Curse. This weapon is cursed, and becoming attuned to it extends the curse to you. As long as you remain cursed, you are unwilling to part with the weapon, keeping it within reach at all times. You also have disadvantage on attack rolls with weapons other than this one, unless no foe is within 60 feet of you that you can see or hear. Whenever a hostile creature damages you while the weapon is in your possession, you must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or go berserk. While berserk, you must use your action each round to attack the creature nearest to you with the weapon. If you can make extra attacks as part of the Attack action, you use those extra attacks, moving to attack the next nearest creature after you fell your current target. If you have multiple possible targets, you attack one at random. You are berserk until you start your turn with no creatures within 60 feet of you that you can see or hear.
 

Momex’s Library
The information hidden within this library is all written in a coded ancient Dwarven ciphered by Momex himself. He could be persuaded to impart the knowledge upon a dwarven ally in the right circumstances. Most of the books are histories and tales of the Vikubix and their great works. Use of the library grants Proficiency with History checks related to the Vikubix. Hidden amid the books are a few works of magic, as well. Some are carefully locked away, taken from enemies of the clan. Others are works of power.

You become vulnerable to radiant damage and have resistance to necrotic damage.
The spellbook is destroyed.
 
 
Spell Gem
Wondrous item, rarity varies (requires attunement by a Spellcaster)

A spell gem can contain one spell from any class's spell list. You become aware of the spell when you learn the gem's properties. While holding the gem, you can cast the spell from it as an action if you know the spell or if the spell is on your class's spell list. Doing so doesn't require any components and doesn't require attunement. The spell then disappears from the gem.

If the spell is of a higher level than you can normally cast, you must make an ability check using your spell casting ability to determine whether you cast it successfully. The DC equals 10 + spell's level. On a failed check, the spell disappears from the gem with no other effect.

Each spell gem has a maximum level for the spell it can store. The spell level determines the gem's rarity and the stored spell's saving throw DC and attack bonus, as shown in the spell gem table.
You can imbue the gem with a spell if you're attuned to it and it's empty. To do so, you cast the spell while holding the gem. The spell is stored in the gem instead of having any effect. Casting the spell must require either 1 action or 1 minute or longer, and the spell's level must be no higher than the gem's maximum. If the spell belongs to the school of abjuration and requires material components that are consumed, you must provide them, but they can be worth half as much as normal. Once imbued with a spell, the gem can't be imbued again until the next dawn. Deep gnomes created these magic gemstones and keep the creation process a secret.

THE DRAGON MASKS
These masks were created centuries, perhaps millennia ago, by Tlalo-Ka and her followers. Each was gifted to a mortal champion favored by Tlalo-Ka.

Dragon Mask Properties (All)
Each is a legendary wondrous item that reshapes to fit the face and head of a wearer when attuned to it. While you are wearing any dragon mask and attuned, you gain the following benefits:

Damage Absorption. You have Resistance against the mask’s damage type. If you already have resistance to that type from another source, you instead gain immunity. If you already have immunity when you are subjected to that damage type, you instead regain hit points equal to half the damage dealt.

Draconic Majesty. While you are wearing no armor, you can add your Charisma bonus to your AC.

Dragon Breath. If you have a breath weapon that requires rest to recharge, it gains Recharge 6 (roll a d6 each round and it recharges on a 6).

The Night Diamond
(Requires Attunement)

A star-shaped diamond of pure obsidian, it glows brightly at the edges with a mysterious light. Filled with the darkness of the night sky to its core, if held up to pure starlight it reflects a weird version of the stars from a realm far away. 

The holy artifact of the Queen of Air and Darkness, it is believed by most to contain a portion of her power, perhaps even her soul. Many want it, many others belief it can control the Queen with the right rituals and grant the wielder her true power.

Over time, Agrykos begins to understand some of the more mundane powers of the artifact. Those he becomes aware of in the downtime are listed below.

Shapeshifting
The Night Diamond can be changed into nearly any object from Tiny to Huge in size. The wielder simply concentrates for an action and within a few short rounds the Diamond shifts into the new form. This can only be done once per Long Rest.

The Tree of Night
You may place the Night Diamond into any ground specially prepared with a ritual to accept it. The required actions take 10 rounds and during this tie the Diamond transforms into the Tree of Night. It grows rapidly into a tremendous stone tree the color of liquid night. Its leaves are razor-sharp obsidian and its branches twist and gnarl up into the night sky. The Tree of Night remains until the owner of the Night Diamond performs the ritual once more from outside and returns it to the Night Diamond form.

It is believed that the Tree of Night allows entry into the true sanctum of the Queen of Air and Darkness. It is over 20’ on a side and 30’ high with tiny formed windows on all sides and an egress at the top. It has a gnarled opening at its base and inside is divided into two floors. A carved ladder runs along one wall connecting the levels and opens up into the “roof” of the tree. The hole at the base remains closed unless you speak its command word (decided by the owner of the Diamond) as a bonus action. It is immune to knock and similar magic (such as a chime of opening).

The magic of the tree prevents it from being tipped over or uprooted. The outer structure, door, and leaves all have 100 hp and immunity to damage from nonomagical weapons excluding siege weapons, and resistance to all other damage. Only a wish spell can repair the tree and it retains damage no matter how often it is shifted back into the Night Diamond. Any casting of wish repairs 50 HP worth of damage to all areas.

Within the great tree is a hall and in that hall an empty chair made of pure night. Those who sit in it can feel the presence of the Queen of Air and Darkness. It is a place of power.

Any objects placed inside the Night Diamond when it is in the Blanket of the Stars form appears inside the Tree of Night. However, anything brought into the tree is spit out when it reverts to the Diamond form.


The Blanket of the Stars
The Night Diamond can be transformed into a pure black cloth called the Blanket of the Stars. This fine black cloth, soft as silk, can be folded up into the dimensions of a handkerchief. It unfolds into a circular sheet 6’ in diameter. You may use an action to unfold the cloth and place it on or against a solid surface, whereupon it creates an extra dimensional hole 10’ deep. The cylindrical space within exists in the Feydark, so cannot be used to create open passages. Any creature inside can exit by climbing out.

You may use an action to close the hole by taking hold of the edges and folding it up. Any creatures or objects remain within the extra dimensional space. No matter what is inside, it weighs next to nothing.

If the hole is folded up, a creature within can use an action to make a DC 10 Strength check to force their way out. If they succeed, they appear within 5’ of the hole or the creature carrying it. Any breathing creature stuck inside can survive for up to 10 minutes, after which they begin to suffocate.

If the Blanket of the Stars is placed anywhere near another extra dimensional magic item, it instantly reverts to the Night Diamond form and cannot be transformed until a long rest.


Mav, Blade Between Stars
Believed to be the true weapon of the mercurial Queen of Air and Darkness, Mav is a long, wicked scythe etched with obsidian and runes of the Deep Speech Duava’rhem language. Always cold, the weapon causes the wielder to feel the freezing temperature of deep space making them susceptible to cold attacks and damage. Anyone who knows of the Queen of Air and Darkness will recognize the weapon as sacred and treat the wielder as always having advantage against them in social rolls.

The wielder gains +2 to attack and damage rolls and gains proficiency with Scythes if they are a worshiper of the Queen of Air and Darkness. They may use their Charisma or Intelligence modifier in lieu of Strength for attack and damage rolls. The blade deals force damage instead of slashing.

Additionally, Mav has 10 charges that may be used to cast witch bolt (1 charge), crown of madness (2 charges), fear (3 charges), or Evard’s black tentacles (4 charges). Mav regains 1d8+2 charges at moonrise.

Other
There are other powers of the Night Diamond as yet undiscovered.



[New]
The Band of Tlalo-Ka
(requires attunement)

Originally, a modified Ring of Mind Shielding bound with a portion of Tlalo-Ka's soul. It has grown in its time on the finger of the warlock Agrykos and in recent days acquired a terrible new curse. After absorbing the soul of Admiral Ferra and a portion of the Elemental Prince of Evil, Olhydra, Tlalo-Ka used her connection to the ring to twist it to dark purpose.

While wearing the Band of Tlalo-Ka 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 your action to cause the ring to become invisible until you use another action to render it visible once more, remove the ring, or die.

The ring was once bound with the soul of the green dragon, Tezzicteca, daughter of Tlalo-Ka. Recently, that soul was released into a magic idol and the ring absorbed the soul of Admiral Ferra along with a portinon of the evil Elemental Prince of Water, Olhydra.

The ring has also retained its natural protection against Tlalo-Ka. While worn, the wearer and their direct allies are protected from all direct violent acts by Tlalo-Ka herself.




When Rinora slew Admiral Ferra wearing the ring, the soul-trapping magic grabbed a piece of the evil Elemental Prince of Water, Olhydra, and trapped it as well. This power, along with Tlalo-Ka's connection, has allowed her to enhance the ring and alter its functions as below.

Sentience. The Band of Tlalo-Ka now speaks with the triple-mind of Admiral Ferra, Olhydra, and rarely the dark whisper of Tlalo-Ka. Its alignment is ever-changing, but consistently evil. It possesses an Intelligence of 17, a Wisdom of 18, and a Charisma of 22. It has hearing and darkvision out to a range of 120'. The band can speak, read, and understand all languages, but prefers to speak in Aquan and Draconic specifically. Its voice varies based upon which mind is in control at the time, but is always imperious and demanding.

Power. The Band of Tlalo-Ka has acquired a new power. The wielder may, once per long rest, attempt to cast the 9th level spell power word: kill. This may only be cast on an enemy of Tlalo-Ka and/or Olhydra. Further, anyone killed in this fashion increases the sentience of the ring and its Charisma increases by 1. 

Personality and Purpose.The Band of Tlalo-Ka has three specific goals:
* Ensure the resurgence and dominance of the Cult of the Crushing Wave
* Return the evil Elemental Prince of Water, Olhydra, the Crushing Wave, the Great Tide
* Ensure the return of the Queen of Air and Darkness onto Merata

Seemingly at random, the Band of Tlalo-Ka will attempt to take control of the ring-bearer in an effort to effect the goals listed above. While in control it can temporarily suppress one or more of its abilities and/or take mental control of the wielder. This requires the wielder make a Charisma saving throw with a DC of 18. On a failed save, the wielder is charmed by the ring for 1d12 hours. While charmed, the wielder must try to follow the item's commands. 

Removal
The curse may be temporarily stymied by a remove curse spell. This allows the wearer to ignore the effects of the ring (all effects) for a period of 24 hours.

Hlal and Maghdi, House Blades of the Fourth of Five 
Discovered in the sarcophagus and taken by Orion.


These two blades are the House Weapons of House Zo’laxtl, Fourth of Five, the House of the Setting Sun. The founder wielded them in battle with remarkable effect, combining their power with his great magic. Unfortunately, before the Banishment, he cursed the Lady of Summer in open court for considering the rite that would cause the two elven groups to be banished from this world.

As part of his punishment, he was placed in a tomb with the spirits of House Yumi Cicil. The Shadow Fey led by Ixtapa, Mistress of Suicide, were at fault for drawing the eye of the Dying Star Xibalba in the first place. In addition to this degradation, the traditional protection placed upon the House Weapons of the Five faded. They can be used by anyone, regardless of race or creed, as long as they are attuned.

They are also cursed.

Each of these weapons are +2 Scimitars. They require attunement for any of their other abilities to be used, but both only require one slot in total.

Together, each of them can function as a dancing sword. Explanation. You can use a Bonus Action to toss either Magic sword into the air and speak the command phrase: WORDS (spoken in Sylvan). When you do so, the sword(s) begin to hover, fly up to 30’, and attack one creature of your choice within 5’ of it/them. The sword(s) use your Attack roll and ability score modifier to damage rolls.

While the sword(s) hover, you can use a Bonus Action to cause it/them to fly up to 30’ to another spot within 30’ of you. As part of the same Bonus Action you can use the sword(s) to attack one creature within 5’ of it.

After the hovering sword(s) attack for the 4th time, it/they fly up to 30’ and try to return to your hand. If you have no hand(s) free, it/they fall to the ground at your feet. If the sword has no unobstructed path to you, it moves as close as it can and then falls to the ground. It also ceases to hover if you grasp it or move more than 30’ away.

The lightning power of Hlal grants the wielder the benefit an additional Bonus Action which may only be used to control the dancing blades. You may control both at the same time in this fashion.

The necromantic power of Magdhi grants the wielder the benefits of death. When either sword is used to kill an enemy, the wielder gains 12 temporary hit points.

Finally, each blade grants additional damage as follows:

Hlal (lawl)
One has a hilt of a pure white swan, the blade etched in lightning. Upon landing a hit, it does an additional 1d8 lightning damage.

Magdhi (mag-dee)
One has a hilt of a pure black swan, the blade etched in skulls. Upon landing a hit, it does an additional 1d8 necrotic damage.

Curse: The blades carrying baggage. The Founder of House Zo’laxtl is bound to them in spirit. His incorporeal ghost follows the wielder and actively seeks to share his fate with them, hoping to cause them ruin and damnation. This is worsened if the wielder is not an elf and becomes intolerable if the wielder is a Duava’rhem.  


Game 21

The Warlock's Last Word 
"I gift the blessing of my Champion Agrykos. Let this be his Last Word." 


Weapon (dagger), legendary (requires attunement by one pledged to the Queen of Air and Darkness)

The Queen of Air and Darkness reformed the Horn once wielded by Fioren, originally made from a piece of Agrykos's own horn. This dagger represents the warlock's last word, a final gift to his ward Fioren. A bright tourmaline rests int eh pommel of the reshaped horn. 

You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this weapon. Though the size of a dagger, the shadowy form extends and it does d8 damage and is considered Finesse. While you hold the weapon, you can use your reaction to make one melee attack with it against any creature in your reach that deals damage to you. You have advantage on the attack roll, and any damage you deal with this special attack ignores immunity or resistance the target has. 

The Warlock's Last Word is also intelligent, after its fashion. Though it does not speak, its intelligence communicates through sensation and emotion. It shares a piece of its former soul, that of Agrykos, and is quite aggressive. It is metamorphic in property, periodically and randomly altering its appearance in slight ways. It glows faintly in the presence of fey creatures (within 30') and never gets dirty. 

Statistics 
Int 15, Wis 14, Cha 18
DC 16 to resist

Purpose: Glory Seeker (the new blade wants its own tale)

Senses: Hearing and Darkvision 120'; only communicates in emotion and sensation

Note: Anyone killed by the blade has its soul sent to the Feydark. This does not prevent resurrection, but if the target is not returned by magical means it will spend eternity in the court of the Feydark. 


The Onyx Mastiff 
Special (tattoo), very rare


This tattoo was gifted to Fioren at the final battle of the Tower of the Five. Though a tattoo, it could theoretically be gifted to another as a guardian. If you use an action to speak the command word and gesture to the ground within 60' of you, the tattoo becomes a living Onyx Mastiff (stats below). The creature is friendly to you and your companions. I understands your languages and obeys your spoken commands. If you issue no commands, the creature defends itself (and you), but takes no other action. The Onyx Mastiff exists for up to 6 hours over a 7 days. It may be present in 2 hour increments during this time. 

AC: 16
Hit Points: 55 (10d8+10)
Speed: 40'
Str: 16 (+3) Dex: 14 (+2) Con: 13 (+1) Int: 8 (-1) Wis: 12 (+1) Cha: 5 (-3)
Skills: Perception +5, Stealth +8
Damage Resistances: bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical attacks while in dim light or darkness
Senses: darkvision 60', passive Perception 13

Ethereal Awareness. The Onyx Mastiff can see ethereal creatures and objects. 


Keen Hearing and Smell. The Onyx Mastiff has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell. 


Shadow Blend. While in dim light or darkness, the beast can use a bonus action to become invisible, along with anything it is wearing or carrying. This lasts until the beast uses a bonus action to end it or until the onyx mastiff attacks, is in bright light, or is incapacitated. 


Sunlight Weakness. While in bright light created by sunlight, the onyx mastiff has disadvantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws. 

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5', one target. Hit: 17 (4d6+3) piercing damage. if the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.
