Wondrous Item

Rare Transmutation

The fearsome Slith is a deadly foe, so hope to never encounter one. But if one is so unfortunate as to fight one and somehow survive the fresh hide can be reclaimed (with a DC 14 Leatherworker's with Wis or Survival check within 1 hour of the Slith's death) and worked into leather. This leather is incredibly supple and emulates the natural stone surfaces of the Slith's environment.

Recipe. The freshly collected skin of one Slith can be cured over 2 weeks time using the leatherworking facilities at Buck's House of Leather. The process requires 600gp worth of Deepsalt to make an appropriate brine and treatment for the skins. To make the buckles and clasps will require a DC 15 Blacksmith's Tools check using Strength to work the metal of your choice with 250gp worth of Monstrous Chitin. This takes 1 week of downtime per attempt.

Once tanned and prepared Buck will require your assistance for six weeks to do the intense leatherworking required to imbue magic into the boots. You can make 3 Leatherworking checks with Wisdom per IRL week. Once you have seven successes of 16 or more the boots are completed. You may gain advantage on the check if and only if you or a friend casts Pass Without Trace twice a day as part of the process.

Slithleather Boots (item). When you wear these boots, your steps make no sound, regardless of the surface you are moving across. You also have advantage on Stealth checks that rely on moving silently. The boots float ever so slightly from the ground. Tremorsense no longer automatically detects you, however you have a -15 penalty on your Stealth check against it.
