Quote from Chris Henson on May 12, 2025, 8:29 pmNotes on all these items: Each of these items was found within a small crate with a bedding of woodchips (very wet woodchips in this case). A small silver plaque was also included with each item, upon which the name, properties, and origin of the item is displayed.
Alligator Shield
Properties: +1 Shield
Description: The skull of a large dire alligator has been removed, leaving the ridged facial leather stretched over a large triangular shield. Teeth have been stitched around its perimeter.
Origin: Nodetouched dire alligator, witches of Everlock"Virginhead", Shield of Protection
Requires Attunement
Properties: AC +1, Protects against the first successful melee strike made against the wielder in combat by a single creature. The shield glows faintly with the intensity of faint moonlight.
Description: A large white-enameled round shield, carved with a bas-relief of a demure Enarri maiden's portrait, topless and buxom, with her thick hair falling about her shoulders. The maiden's hair and lips are are highlighted with gold.
Origin: Orh-Kish Empire, Baddu DynastyThe Circlet of Igth
Requires Attunement
Properties: The wearer of this circlet cannot take more than 12 points of damage in a single attack. (Damage in excess of 12 is dissipated) The circlet automatically stabilizes all bleeding effects. (No death throws are needed)
Description: A blending of black meteoric stone with copper and zinc. The frontal arc of the circlet has been polished to a shine, but the remaining sections have been scored with a repeating pattern of angular, stylized thorns.
Origin: Igth, ruins of Everlock. Most Maugtheni scholars today consider the Igth Mages to be more spy than spellcrafter. While this has led some Cahedrists from The Citadel of Ineffable Truth to put forward the idea that the most simple explanation is that the circlet was forged and ensorcelled elsewhere and then taken to Everlock, it should be noted that there are no known connections between Orh-Kish spellforgers and the city of Igth."Trollsheath" Longsword
Requires Attunement
Properties: When unsheathed, the blade edge glows with a vibrant green light. As long as Trollsheath remains in its scabbard, its wearer regenerates 1 HP per round. When unsheathed and wielded, the wielder gains +2 on all saves

It's iron hilt is wrapped in mottled trollskin leather, and its pommel is a single polished piece of green/black agate marked with etchings. The scabbard is back-mounted, meant for the blade to be drawn and wielded from over the shoulder. It is black leather, with two green/black agates, similar to the blade, affixed next to each other near the top, giving it an appearance of eyes.
Origin: Unknown"Force Multiplier" Shortbow
