Potions

Potion of the Ruinwyrm

This elixir is contained in a heavy brass bottle and requires a Pulse to Prepare. It weighs 9 oz and does not break easily.
This is the Individual True Name of a unique entity. There are only 21 Ranks available. In other words, every Rank this Name is raised by one individual, reduces someone else's Rank by the same amount amount.
However, if the Spell of Name Change is known, and their Rank in the Generic True Name 'Snake' is Ranked to 10 or higher, then they may assume this shape:

The Ruinwyrm of the Spotted Jungle

This creature has the upper body of the Adept, although with an extra pair of arms. Their lower body is the thick, heavy green-scaled tail of a snake which extends into their rear hex for 15 feet, and ends in a metre long horn-like blade.

PS:	45	MD:	23	AG:	23	MA:	Adept's	EN:	30	FT:	Adept's
WP:	Adept's	PC:	Adept's	PB:	5	TMR:	Special	NA:	Special

Weapons

The ruinwyrm can wield weapons as normal, and also deliver Claw attacks with the secondary arms. These are not dexterous (MD 13) enough to wield weapons, but they are strong (PS 55). The base Strike Chance for the Claws is 50%, base Damage Modifier is 2 rollup D10, delivering B or C Class injuries. The Tail may deliver a Sweep attack against anyone in their rear hex with a base Strike Chance of 45% and which will inflict 2 rollup D10 C Class damage. In addition, anyone struck by the tail must roll 1 x AG or fall prone.

The Sting may attack into a rear hex or over the Adept's shoulder as a Sabre. The base Strike Chance is 65% and inflicts 2 rollup D10 A or B Class damage. It may be envenomed, depending on whether or not the Adept has consumed the appropriate substances. If the Sting does effective damage, an attempt to Constrict is allowed by throwing loops of the tail around the victim. Constriction has a base Strike Chance of 55%, and inflicts 2 rollup D10 C class damage. Once Constriction is successfully applied, the Adept automatically rolls damage each Pulse.
The ruinwyrm has a Claw/Claw/Sting routine, a Claw/Claw/Sweep routine or a Claw/Claw/Constrict routine. These are without penalty. A Claw attack may be swapped for a weapon attack, but this attracts the usual penalties. Claws may be used in Close or Melee, the Sweep and Sting can only be used in Melee and Extended (up to 15 hexes into a rear hex) and the Constriction attack can only be delivered in Close. A case may be made for delivering a Close attack when an opponent is held by forelimbs so that the Sting is driven into them, but the DM may rule otherwise if it seems unreasonable.
Claw may be advanced to Rank 10 as Unarmed Combat, the Sting may be advanced to Rank 7 as if it were a Sabre, the Sweep may be advanced to Rank 7 as Unarmed Combat. Constriction may not be advanced beyond Rank 0.

Every 4 Ranks in this Name increases PS, MD, AG and EN by 1. This stacks with bonuses for the Generic True Name of 'Snake'.

The Protection value of the scales is 3 (+1 per 4 Ranks in the Name) or the Adept's Armour, whichever is greater.

The shape provides 1 point of Damage Reduction + 1 against all known forms of damage for every 10 Ranks in the Name.

The ruinwyrm has a TMR of 6 on land, water and when climbing (movement rate: 300 yards / minute). TMR is increased by 1 per 4 Ranks in the Name (movement rate increased by: 50 yards / minute / 4 full Ranks). At Rank 20, an additional point of TMR is awarded (similarly raising movement rate by an additional 50 yards / minute).

The scales provides a bonus of 10 when an attempt to use Stealth in ruins, forests, woods or jungles is made.

To envenom the Sting, the Adept must prepare a poison that they know how to make and imbibe it as if it were a potion while they are in the battleform. The next time the Sting inflicts damage to an opponent's EN, the poison will be injected.

Clockwork Egg

This white enamel ovoid is about the size of a hen's egg. A small panel opens on the side to reveal a hole into which a key can be inserted. Once it has been wound up and closed, it may be swallowed, where it will work for 72 hours. Over this period of time, the person who swallowed it will be somewhat protected by magic that attacks consciousness or personality. If they are Charmed, Hypnotised, Bound or otherwise Controlled, on a Pulse by Pulse basis, they may accept the instruction given to them, in which case nothing unusual happens. if they choose otherwise, then they do not obey the instruction, but are Slowed until they begin obeying.
If they are rendered asleep or unconsciousness but are otherwise alive, they may take Actions as normal, except that they are Slowed.

Green Dragon Bits

Green Dragon Grenadoes x 4

These green scales are 5 inches across and weigh 14 oz each. They may be forged to resemble tiny maces and thrown as if they were grenadoes. This require the arts of a Rank 7 Weaponsmith, and each require 600sp of Flowers of Sulphur. It will take 3 days to make 10 grenadoes.
If a grenado hits a wooden object, it will release a noxious fluid that will convert a hex of it (about 300 lbs) to a black slime. If the wood is part or all of an entity that can move, they may attempt to dodge out of the way by rolling under their AG. Multi-hex creatures made of wood will likely lose one of their hexes.
If a grenado impacts the ground, then it will convert it to a boggy swamp with a diameter of 10 hexes. Movement across the swampy area is by turns slippery (requiring a 2 x AG check for each hex passed through) or fall prone and grasping (requiring a PS check to escape if prone).

Miscellaneous

Belt of Actorios

This belt is made of irregular but thin slices of stone of Actorios. There are 10 plaques, about 3 inches across connected by thin hoops of ithildin, the whole thing weighing about 14 oz.
If the Individual True Name or Rune of a devil or demon is engraved into a plaque, a path between worlds sufficient to open negotiations will open to them. If an agreement is agreed to, or somehow enforced, then the wearer may summon the entity to satisfy the contract it has agreed. In return, the wearer must honour their part or the compact is considered broken. This may end badly for the wearer depending on the nature of the entity summoned.
Some knowledge in High Compellings is useful, although Ranks in Binding Will, Compelling Obedience or Controlling Entity may suffice if the entity is not too dreadful.

Lore

Formula of the Red Iron Grenado

Rank 8 Alchemy
This operation may only be begun on a Friday when the moon is full and takes at least five noons.
Sufficient iron ore to fill a wheelbarrow must be bought from a dwarf merchant. Any attempt by the Alchemist to haggle will cause the operation to fail. Dwarven merchants will normally charge what the traffic will allow, but if they see an Alchemist coming, may substantially increase their rates unless they are generous of nature. Generous dwarves are the subject of myth, and many kingdoms offer a substantial reward where such a claim is proven.
The ore must be laid on the summit of a hill on a bed of red clay, covered with 10 lbs of lodestone (which will cost 350sp) over which a sheet of beaten copper about a yard across (which will cost 150sp) has been placed. This construction must be exposed for the passing of five consecutive noons, and be struck at least once by lightning.
The lightning-struck metals must be crushed, and dissolved in a bath of Aqua Regia and the solids decanted off. The liquid purified thus must be heated in an athanor for eight hours, but not so vigorously that it will contract excitation, such an occasion known to be unhappy for Alchemists fond of their body parts or, indeed, life.
Once the fluid is reduced to 1/3rd its original volume, it needs but to rest for the space of a week before it can be used. This labour will produce enough reagent to fill [D10 + Rank - 13] grenados. If the result is less than 1, no reagent is produced at all. Results less than -1 indicate that there has been a catastrophe, and the smaller the number, the greater the catastrophe. If the result is -2, 1 Specific Grievous Injury is rolled and applied, if the result is -3, then 2 such injuries are inflicted, and so on. They may avoid harm by Breaking 100 + MD versus each such catastrophe.
The formula is teachable, but whoever teaches it must expend 12,750 Experience for each Alchemist taught.

Red Iron Grenado

Rank 8 Alchemy This grenado contains an alchemical incendiary device. It is usually thrown at a hex within range (15 hexes). The hex has no Defence, but the thrower's SC is reduced by 3 per hex beyond the first. Any Strike Check greater than 70 + MD means that the thrower dropped the grenado at their feet, or, if the roll is 99 or 100, has gone off prematurely.
If the Strike Check result is high enough to indicate a miss but not high enough for a catastrophe, then a scatter D10 is rolled.
On a 1, it was thrown 1D10 feet beyond the target hex.
On a 2, it was hrown 1D10 feet beyond and to the right of the target hex.
On a 3, it was thrown 1D10 feet to the right of the target hex.
On a 4, it was thrown 1D10 feet short and to the right of the target hex.
On a 5, it was thrown 1D10 feet short of the target hex.
On a 6, it was thrown 1D10 feet short and to the left of the target hex.
On a 7, it was thrown 1D10 feet to the left of the target hex.
On an 8, it was thrown 1D10 feet beyond and to the left of the target hex.
On a 9, it was thown 2D10 feet beyond the the target hex.
On a 0, it was thrown 1D10 <bold>hexes</bold> short of the target hex.
On detonation, the grenado inflicts 3 Specific Grievous Injuries on anyone up to 3 hexes away. Targets who are between 4 and 6 hexes away suffer 2 Specific Grievous Injuries, while those between 7 and 9 only suffer one. The grenado inflicts A, B or C Class injuries, so all results are applied.
Targets are allowed to Break 100 + 2 x AG + Rank in Sense Danger to avoid each wound.
