Loot Ideas Needed: The Abyss (55-60)

[kaezar]

It still doesn't work for me. Weird. Well, trying to track it down manually.

Anyway, I finally had an idea for Verin, the Voice of Graz'zt.

I put here as a cloak, but an amulet would work just as well.

Verin's Negotiating Garb

Being the one most often required to meet Graz'zt's enemies, Verin knows very well there is a time for negotiations, a time for betrayal and a time for running.
He had this cloak fashioned to help deciding which of these endeavors to engage, as well as helping him with the first oand the last of those. The middle one, well, it came naturally.
So useful the cloak proved itself that Verin had more of those fashioned, which he hides in varios caches around the multiverse, so he can have one available wherever he is.

Well, I did chase the link acaos gave, even manually. However, I still wasn't able to find it. May have something to do with not being an insider.

Well, text that Acaos pasted didn't contradict anything about a pair of items I had ideas for. So here they are.

The Pit Fiend's Touch

Made from the cured skin of a pit fiend, those gloves proved themselves too indigestible even for the Darkness Given Hunger.
Whatever was inside them, however...
---
The special power of these gloves allows the user to make the gloves exude a deadly poison 3 times/day, which can be applied to a weapon. The first attacked creature hit by the weapon so poisoned, if the hit occurs until the end of the next round after the poisoning, must make a DC of 55 or die.
After that time, the poison loses its efficiency.
Poison immunity protects agains the poison effect, but a natural 1 will kill the critter anyway, unless it is of miniboss or higher status, or has itself the poison ability in any form.

The acid-resistent properties of these boots were not enough to save its unfortunate wearer, but allowed them to survive ingestion by the Darkness Given Hunger with just minimal damage.

[Acaos]

Our villains so far include Pazuzu, Harthoon, Verin, Kargoth, and Darkness Given Hunger. Most of these except Pazuzu still need more loot ideas.

Next up is Fo-oon-fol, the Twister of Forms, an ancient Sibriex from when the obyriths ruled the Abyss. He's a late miniboss in Zionyn, Obox-ob's domain.

Sibriexes resemble enormous deformed faces floating in the air, linked to the ground by metal chains. Sybriexes enjoy molding flesh, and are rumored to have a role in the shaping of the forms of the tanar'ri.

Damn Damn Damn.

Was halfway through the post when the notebook I had the ideas written on accidentaly hit a key and wiped the whole message.

Seriously, what those guys making those boards are thinking, configuring them so that an acidental touch on the keyboard can wipe a whole message unsent?

Well, no help for it, doing it again, this time on wordpad, before pasting it on board. Excuse me any format errors.

As I said before, I got a bunch of them made this time. Even did one for Pazuzu by mistake. Since it is done, I'll just post it. Maybe it'll be good for something.

Pazuzu's Blessing

Webs, Strands and entanglements have been many an avian's doom. Knowing that, Pazuzu has those gems, usable by creatures without hands, crafted. He gifts them to his avian servants and allies as rewards for exceptional service.

Gem
Use: Freedom of Movement 1 use/day
The freedom of Movement spell cast by this gem is cast at casting level 45.

I actually have 2 items for Kargoth, although I loved writing the story on the second.

Kargoth's Strike

As general of Demogorgon's armies, Kargoth many times has to contend with other evil armies, in special those of Graz'zt and Orcus, not to mention the ocasional incursion from the devils of Baator.

What in special irritated him was that one of his favorite powers, the one of smiting enemies with his weapon, didn't work on those foes anymore. Until, that is, Demogorgon presented him with this helmet, and cemented Kargoth's alegiance to himself forever.

-----
This helm's powers must be activated before you can use them. You must rest while wearing this item to so you can attune yourself to it before it will become active, and if you remove the item, it will cease to be active until you rest while wearing it again.
----
This item is only usable by characters with 21 or more levels of blackguard.

Apropriate tag


Helm
Deflection: 16
Intellicence, Dexterity: +12
Listen, concentration, Taunt, Discipline: +15

Only usable by: evil
Only usable by: blackguard

Smite good used while wearing this helm will affect any foes.


Kargoth's Fond Remembrance

Over the years, many knights and other warriors of valor have come to take Kargoth to task for his betrayel of the forces of good. Most of the gear looted from their corpses is reserved for Kargoth's own use of parceled among his followers as rewards for exceptional service.

Some of the items, however, are unusable by Kargoth or his allies. Most of those are destroyed, but a few he hoards, as souvenirs, to gloat over on an idle moment.

Such is the case of this belt, a gift from pelor to a now forgotten paladin, as can be seen from the sun-metal buckle on it.

The nick on the buckle is witness to how far Kargoth's sword went when he smote his foe.

Deflection: 16
Spell Slots: 3x Level 1, 3x Level 2, 3x Level 3, 3x Level 4, 3x Level 5
Poison immunity
Damage resistence: magic 15/- Divine 15/-, positive 15/-, negative 30/-



Verin

As Graz'zt's main diplomat, Verin is often called to perform the oldest diplomatic venture of them all: spying. These gloves were fashioned to help him discern his master's enemies' weakness in as an unobstrusive manner as possible. Or, if detected anyway, to allow for an speedy exit.

------
Know Vulnerability spells cast while wearing these gloves receive +4 to spell penetration and are treated as 7th level spells for effects of immunity to spell by level. In addition the know vulnerability spell is cast as silent and still spell.

Gloves
Deflection: 16
Tumble, hide, move silently, craft armor: +10
Perform, Taunt, Discipline, Concentration: +15
Bluff: +25


Darkness Given Hunger

Celestial Pearl

At first look this seems to be a pearl or a precious stone of some sort, whitesh and vaguely translucent, the size of closed fist.

When examined more closely, some sort of medal or symbol can be vaguely discerned inside. Use of magic reveals weak good emanations of some vague sort, involved in an impenatrable barrier. That they can still be sensed demostrates that the item inside is indeed quite powerful.

That piece of good was probably an irritant to the Darkness Given Hunger, that proceeded to cover it in a kind of mucus, which over the centuries congealed onto the shiny, hard carapace you can now see.

While the power of what is inside is mostly contained, some of its powers can still breach the barrier and benefit those of good alignment.

------
All the spells cast by this item but for the resurrection are cast on the wearer only
------
You must be of good alignment to use this item.

Charges: 21

Regeneration:2
Remove Disease: 2
Remove Curse: 2
Greater Restoration: 4
Resurrection: 4

Now one for Harthoon. I thought of this as an alternative to Tia belt, less slots but one interensting power. Trouble is, the other casters will feel kind of deprived. Maybe other varieties could be put for other caster, with adequate special powers.

Belt of unfathomable Knowledge

As Orcus' main servant, Harthoon has many times had to contend with his master's enemies. As an evolved lich, he knows knowledge is power, and so has crafted this belt to be able to wield power over those he faces.
-----
When using this belt, Legend Lore spells cast cause the same effects as Know Vulnerability spells, but using the Legend Lore spell and regular divination spell DC and penetration

Wiz 7-9: 6 spell slots
Wiz 4-6: 3 spell slots
Wiz 1-3: 2 slots
Intelligence: +12
immunity: Level Drain

Immunity: Paralysis
Improved Saving throws: universal:+5
Only usable by: wizard


Well, I confess, Fo-oon-fol gave me trouble. couldn't think of an adequate item that really satisfied me. Here is the one that came closest. It is meant to be one of a set of 6, one for each form "school".

Mutation Carapace
The remains of some poor creature can still be discerned inside this armor, although you can't for the love of the multiverse tell what it was when it died, much less what it was before Fo-oon-fol started playing with it.
It seems the sibriex kept it alive for quite a long time after its defeat, playing with its flesh, until the repeated changes caused its body's systems to shut down.
So many were the changes that some of them got imprinted on the armor, allowing a master in mutating his form to assume some of them
------
This item requires LFF3 in at least one school before it can be equiped
------
This item gives basic form feat and LFF1 in ..... while worn
-------
This helm's powers must be activated before you can use them. You must rest while wearing this item to so you can attune yourself to it before it will become active, and if you remove the item, it will cease to be active until you rest while wearing it again

Light Chain (Base AC 4)

Phys immunities: 20%

Well, there it is. Hope it helps

Kaezar, for that very reason I run a keylogger on my own computer. Never lost an email, forum post, etc, since then.
