Old Grognard, meaning that I have seen many campaigns and systems in my time but I am not a curmudgeon! I love delving into dangerous dungeons almost as much as I love building and running them! Dedicated to supporting and encouraging people new to the hobby. We should all be here to have fun!

Beyond the Veil, in the rugged Shattered Foothills north of the Worldteeth Mountains, a titanic howling sandworm thunders through narrow slot canyons and twisting gullies. Fresh intelligence suggests one of these colossal beasts has become trapped in a remote ravine, offering an unprecedented opportunity. No one has ever slain or captured one of these elusive titans of the dunes—until now. Glory and fortune await any who succeed, and a certain scholar in distant Vurms is offering 1,000 GP for a live specimen or 500 GP for its remains. Ready your supplies and steel your resolve—your name will echo through legends if you can bring down this behemoth. Prepare for the Sandworm Safari of a lifetime!

This scroll bears the words of the 3rd-mastery spell listed, written in a mystical cipher. If the spell is on your class spell list, or it is a spell you could normally cast, you can read the scroll and cast the spell without needing a spellcasting implement. You can cast it normally or as its sacrifice effect. Otherwise, the scroll is unintelligible. Casting the spell by reading the scroll requires the spell’s normal casting time. Once the spell is cast, the words on the scroll fade, and it crumbles to dust. If the casting is interrupted, the scroll is not lost.
Quantity: 1
While you wear this cloak, you gain a +1 bonus to AC and saves.
Quantity: 1
While the pearl is on your person, as a reaction when you are about to sacrifice a 1st-mastery or greater mastery spell, you can speak its command word to cast that spell’s sacrifice effect without sacrificing it. Once you use the pearl, it can’t be used again until you finish a daily rest. Only a spellcaster who can cast 1st-mastery or great spells can attune this item, and you can only attune a number of pearls of power to you equal to your CHA (minimum 1).
Quantity: 1
When you wear these light slippers, you gain a climb SPD equal to your walking SPD. While climbing, you can move up, down, and across vertical surfaces and upside down along ceilings while leaving your hands free. However, these slippers don’t allow you to move this way on slippery surfaces such as ice, water, oil, or other liquids.

While holding it, you can use a focused action to expend 1 or more of its chargers to cast the magic missile spell (as a 1st-level caster). With 1 charge you can cast the spell normally; if you expend 3 charges, you can cast the spell as its sacrifice effect. The wand regains any spent charges after you finish a daily rest.

By defeating or at least driving off the feared Wizard’s Retinue bandit band, you have become a hero to the town of Riverwynd. While in that town, you are always recognized as a hero and never have to pay for reasonable food, drink, and lodging. You gain a +1 bonus on all CHA-based skill checks made against its inhabitants. However, remember that mistreatment of this boon may temporarily revoke these benefits at the GM’s discretion.
Quantity: 1
You have been marked with a small arrowhead tattoo with a Gebli glyph at the top, meaning friend. This tattoo marks you as a friend of the Bethniru goblin tribe of the Worldteeth Mountains. If shown this mark, the Bethniru will grant you aid, shelter, and food within reason.
Quantity: 1
Upon service rendered to the Order of the Moon, Commander Regnar Scweb of the Borgahild Chapterhouse invited you to become an esquire of the Order. This Imperial order of knights is best known for their delivery of packages and letters throughout the Empire and even to some points beyond. If you accept this invitation, you must follow the principles of the Order. You must protect and safely deliver messages. You must aid the innocent and the needy. And you can speak no lies. As a member of the Order, you are given a tunic with the order's sigil and your rank. You also gain food and lodging at any Imperial order chapterhouse, and the Order provides protection and legal advocacy when necessary.
Quantity: 1
A splendorous, purple gem with layers that resemble the petals of a flower. Its core glows gently, and any who hold it feel eyes on them from places impossibly far and those far too close.
Quantity: 1
You regain 4d4 + 4 HP when you drink this potion. Drinking the potion requires a bonus action while feeding this potion to another requires a focused action.
Quantity: 1
While wearing these bracers, you have proficiency with longbows and shortbows, and you gain a +2 bonus to ranged to-hit rolls and damage rolls made with such weapons.
Quantity: 1
While you wear this cloak, you gain a +1 bonus to AC and saves.
Quantity: 1
This stoppered flask sloshes when shaken, as if it contains water. The decanter weighs 2 pounds. You can use a focused action to remove the stopper and speak one of three command words, whereupon an amount of fresh water or salt water (your choice) pours out of the flask. The water stops pouring out at the start of your next turn. Choose from the following options: “Stream” produces 1 gallon of water. “Fountain” produces 5 gallons of water. “Geyser” produces 30 gallons of water that gushes forth in a geyser 30 feet long and 1 foot wide. As a bonus action while holding the decanter, you can aim the geyser at a creature you can see within 30 feet of you. The target must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or take 1d4 bludgeoning damage and fall prone. Instead of a creature, you can target an object that isn’t being worn or carried and that weighs no more than 200 pounds. The object is either knocked over or pushed up to 15 feet away from you.
Quantity: 1
This seemingly ordinary bag is made of gray cloth with a simple pull-string, which seems empty though strangely heavy. Reaching inside the bag reveals the presence of a small, furry object. You can use a focused action to pull the fuzzy object from the bag and throw it up to 4 squares. When the object lands, it transforms into a creature. The type of creature it transforms into is determined by the roll of a d8 (1-weasel; 2-giant rat; 3-badger; 4-boar; 5-panther; 6-giant badger; 7-dire wolf; 8-giant elk). The creature is friendly to you and your companions and acts on your turn. You can use a quick action to command the creature. Without such commands, the creature acts appropriately to its nature, as determined by the GM. The creature remains for 1 hour or until it reaches 0 HP, at which point it vanishes. Once you pull a creature out of the bag, you can’t do so again until you finish a daily rest.

This flat iron, 3-foot-long rod has a button on one end. You can use a quick action to press the button, which causes the rod to become magically fixed in place. Until you or another creature uses a quick action to push the button again, the rod does not move, even if it’s defying gravity. The rod can hold up to 8,000 lbs. of weight. More weight causes the rod to deactivate and fall. A creature can use a focused action and make a DC 30 Athletics check to move a rod. On a success, it moves the rod 1 square.
