Session 17Encounters:Dragon and Banshee Shouting Match, With Guest Appearance by the PCs - 1,000 XP
InformationFound an abandoned boat with a dwarf skeleton inside it by the river. Decided to leave it alone.
Camped at a fork in the river.
The campsite turned out to be haunted by a banshee, by the name of Ilytheen. It seems her lover left her for another, and a dragon stole a gift of his from her.
-Zeni seduced her by posing as a little boy.
--It made exactly as much sense in the moment as it does in retrospect.
-After being pacified, Ilytheen asked us to find the lair of the dragon who stole her trinket. We did, and killed it with her help.
Ilytheen passed on after recovering her gift.
oh god LootIlytheen's bauble. Kind of sinister. [Driftglobe, also works as a compass and shows depth]
A dragon's hoard. Guess.

Driftglobe
Wondrous item, uncommon
This small sphere of thick glass weighs 1 pound. If you are within 60 feet of it, you can speak its command word and cause it to emanate the light or daylight spell. Once used, the daylight effect can't be used again until the next dawn.
You can speak another command word as an action to make the illuminated globe rise into the air and float no more than 5 feet off the ground. The globe hovers in this way until you or another creature grasps it. If you move more than 60 feet from the hovering globe, it follows you until it is within 60 feet of you. It takes the shortest route to do so. If prevented from moving, the globe sinks gently to the ground and becomes inactive, and its light winks out.
-Can be used as a compass and a depth finder.
Daylight
3rd-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V,S
Duration: 1 hour
A 60-foot-radius sphere of light spreads out from a point you choose within range. The sphere is bright light and
sheds dim light for an additional 60 feel. If you chose a point on an object you are holding or one that isn't being worn or carried, the light shines from the object and moves with it. Completely covering the affected object with an opaque object, such as a bowl or a helm, blocks the light.
If any of this spell's area overlaps with an area of darkness created by a spell of 3rd level or lower, the spell that created the darkness is dispelled.
Ring of Spell Storing
Ring, rare (requires attunement)
This ring stores spells cast into it, holding them until the attuned wearer uses them. The ring can store up to 5 levels worth of spells at a time. When found, it contains 1d6 - 1 levels of stored spells chosen by the DM. Any creature can cast a spell of 1st through 5th level into the ring by touching the ring as the spell is cast.
The spell has no effect, other than to be stored in the ring. If the ring can't hold the spell, the spell is expended without effect. The level of the slot used to cast the spell determines how much space it uses. While wearing this ring, you can cast any spell stored in it. The spell uses the slot level, spell save DC, spell attack bonus, and spellcasting ability of the original caster, but is otherwise treated as if you cast the spell.
The spell cast from the ring is no longer stored in it, freeing up space.
-A ring of ivory and black metal.
-The ring's Gehennan iron makes you wish to do evil things.
-The ring's angel bone ivory makes you feel terrible for doing evil things.
--Like wearing a bone composed of angel bone. Endless despair is yours at the slip of a ring.
Staff of the War Mage, +2
Staff, rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster)
While holding this wand, you gain a bonus to spell attack rolls determined by the wand's rarity. In addition, you ignore half cover when making a spell attack.
-A long staff seemingly made of ice and a flowing knot of water and mist.
-The wielder always feels a comfortable temperature.
-Happy! Harmless animals frolick when near you! Vani is included, Justy is a terrible person!
-Solid-feeling water that shape shifts.
--The head can be a cloud of solid mist, a rose made of liquid water, or an ice crystal.
--Shaft is liquid water that you can somehow hold.
--The base is an ice spike, whirlpool or steam fountain.
--Changes constantly when magic goes through it.
Ring of Free Action
Ring, rare (requires attunement)
While you wear this ring, difficult terrain doesn't cost you extra movement. In addition, magic can neither reduce your speed nor cause you to be paralyzed or restrained.
-A large iron band of metal that can be worn on the arm.
-Not only does difficult terrain not impair you, but you demolish it as you pass.
-Hopefully this can be turned off or else this might upset people!
Tentacle Rod
Rod, rare (requires attunement)
Made by the drow, this rod is a magic weapon that ends in three rubbery tentacles. While holding the rod, you can use an action to direct each tentacle to attack a creature you can see within 15 feet of you. Each tentace makes a melee attack roll with a +9 bonus. On a hit, the tentacle deals 1d6 bludgeoning damage. If you hit a target with all three tentacles, it must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the creature's speed is halved, it has disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws, and it can't use reactions for 1 minute.
Moreover, on each of its turns, it can take either an action or a bonus action, but not both. At the end of each of its turns, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success.
-A dark metal grip shaped like bone, with long, limp tentacles coming out the end.
-Totally a normal tentacle rod, nothing special about it outside of its usual specialness!
-A brass(which looks like gold) mug with jade inlays in the shape of rather lurid figures.
-An ivory statuette of a strange animal, rearing with a thick spiked caraspace, finely fanged teeth and rending claws. It has a tiny figure of a knight artfully attached to its claws.
-A bronze crown of leaves and flowers.
-A golden birdcage with delicate electrum filigree of sporting animals.
-Two ridiculously ornate robes with gold threaded arcane patterns.
-A silver necklace with a mounted star sapphire.
-And to top it off, what looks like an expensive casino set, with two silver worked velvet masks, four ivory dice, and a silver chased dice cup, wrapped in a pair of silk cloths.
