Shadow in Sanctum's Night
The Conflict
Prelude
In the late 800's Jikx the Murderer created eight enchanted items when he imbued living humans with a mixture of other materials and objects. The process killed 22 people in the end and Jikx was executed for his crimes by the Order of Maji.
The Engagement
Lin the Sanctum Thief infiltrated the inner offices of Sanctum during the night, by passing the sell sword guards, and proceeded to steal from the old and unguarded vault, which was little more than a locked steeldoor closet. Lin made quick work of the lock and got her hands on all of Jikx the Murderer's enchanted weapons. She wrapped the spears, save for the staffs in with the High Topaz and High Obsidian. She made it out nearly unskathed, only coming into trouble once when she rounded a corner on a serving acolyte, in a fluid reaction she pulled the dagger at her waist and stuck him in the gut. As she pulled the knife out the rot began to show on the wound, a growing green and black puss mound the radiated at the edges with black tendrils as it infected the web-like capilaries. She stabbed him again in the neck before he could scream, feeling slightly sorry for having done that to the boy.
Outcome
In the end Lin the Sanctum Thief stole:
- Spiritviper -- A spear with the ability to take the use of any limb or organ it touches, by destroying the life force of the body part and severing it from the brain.
- Deadman's Axe -- Axe with the ability to spred Deadman's Blood, an infection that grows inside of dead people that begins to poison the target.
- Plague Spear -- A spear with the ability to spread Scale Rot.
- Bolt --Bow that charges arrows with lightning that charge as they fly through the air, the longer they fly the more the charge, to the point that long volley shots can cause a lightning blast the explodes and does damage in a general area.
- Decay -- A dagger that has the ability to spred Deadman's Blood, which begins to poison the target, only a small knick is needed and the person is dead within a few days
