Session 14: The Pathfinders' League

General Summary

In their final sweep of Whisperstone Hollow, the party unearthed gemstones scattered around the mining carts and a large caved-in passageway. On their way out, Boarm forced open a locked office on the top floor, where Walter and Kibble found valuable resources and tools, enriching their haul with gold, copper, iron, pickaxes, and a blanket.   Upon exiting the mine, they were met by Dr. Ila Vey, a Chitara researcher from CROFF, and her imposing Brumark colleague, Korrigan Thorne. Dr. Vey expressed a keen interest in the large Kryssalith egg the party carried. Despite her generous offers, the party declined to sell the egg, leading to tense negotiations. Eventually, Dr. Vey provided crucial advice on maintaining the egg's vitality with arcane magic, specifically recommending daily Magical Missile spells to sustain its warmth.   The party then returned to Myrrhiana Vossari to conclude their quest. After turning in the Echolite gemstones, Myrrhiana revealed their illusionary properties and offered to craft disguise rings to aid their blending into local settings. She also provided directions to Fael'wynn and issued a letter of recommendation to visit Arceus, the Shimmering Spire in Spirewatch to aid in their quest to see the Archmage.   Later, the party encountered local tension outside the Whisperstone Hearth where Boarm and Vaas ended up brawling with a mocking goat-kin. After resolving the scuffle, the group proceeded to the Pathfinders' Lodge. There, Lodge Master Neralka Arha officially welcomed them as Veterans (Renown 10) of the Pathfinders' League, bestowing Whisperstones for communication and badges for identification. The party offloaded a lot of the loot they have acquired and obtained some new equipment as well. Zhizah, intrigued by the stable's offerings, selected a Sunflare Qapi as her mount and named him Kwehvin.   The day's events came to a close with the group settling into their respective lodgings at The Lucky Bear and Bramble's Rest stable.

Homebrew

Whisperstone

Wondrous Item

Uncommon Requires attunement, but does not count towards attunement limit Requires Attunement

Magical

The Whisperstone is a smooth, small stone with intricate runes etched into its surface. Each Whisperstone must be attuned to another Whisperstone to enable communication between them. This process binds the stones together, allowing only the attuned stones to communicate with each other. To use the Whisperstone, it must be held in the hand or placed in the ear. Once activated, the holder can communicate telepathically with the holder of the paired Whisperstone, no matter the distance, as long as they are on the same plane of existence. The telepathic communication is silent and private, transmitting only words between the two attuned holders.

Telepathic Communication. While holding or placing the Whisperstone in your ear, you can communicate telepathically with the holders of all the other Whisperstones it is attuned to, as long as they are on the same plane of existence.

Cost: 250g
Weight: 0.25 lbs


SRD

Bag of Holding

Wondrous Item

Common

Magical, container

This bag has an interior space considerably larger than its outside dimensions, roughly 2 feet in diameter at the mouth and 4 feet deep. The bag can hold up to 500 pounds, not exceeding a volume of 64 cubic feet. The bag weighs 15 pounds, regardless of its contents. Retrieving an item from the bag requires an action.

If the bag is overloaded, pierced, or torn, it ruptures and is destroyed, and its contents are scattered in the Astral Plane. If the bag is turned inside out, its contents spill forth, unharmed, but the bag must be put right before it can be used again. Breathing creatures inside the bag can survive up to a number of minutes equal to 10 divided by the number of creatures (minimum 1 minute), after which time they begin to suffocate.

Placing a bag of holding inside an extradimensional space created by a handy haversack, portable hole, or similar item instantly destroys both items and opens a gate to the Astral Plane. The gate originates where the one item was placed inside the other. Any creature within 10 feet of the gate is sucked through it to a random location on the Astral Plane. The gate then closes. The gate is one-way only and can't be reopened.

Cost: 300g
Weight: 15 lbs


XGE + EGW

Heward's Modified Handy Spice Pouch

Wondrous Item

Uncommon

Magical, spices

This belt pouch appears empty and has 10 charges. While holding the pouch, you can use an action to expend 1 of its charges, speak the name of any nonmagical food seasoning (such as salt, pepper, saffron, or cilantro), and remove a pinch of the desired seasoning from the pouch. A pinch is enough to season a single meal. The pouch regains 1d6 + 4 expended charges daily at dawn.

This pouch has been modified to also contain Dust of Deliciousness.

Dust of Deliciousness: This reddish brown dust can be sprinkled over any edible substance to greatly improve the flavor. The dust also dulls the eater's senses: anyone eating food treated with this dust has disadvantage on Wisdom ability checks and Wisdom saving throws for 1 hour.

Cost: 150g
Weight: 5 lbs
