[QUOTE="The_Warlock, post: 4492575, member: 21215"] 17) Fragment with a View In ruined room, or treasure, the group discover a shattered piece of silver just larger than a man's fist, that is as smooth as glass, with edges just as sharp and jagged as if it was glass. It seems unbreakable, yet cannot scratch or cut the softest materials, though it can draw blood if used to cut living flesh. More disturbing is that despite it seemingly shiny surface, it reflects no images, just light sources. If this is investigated at length, it will be noted that any light reflected off the shard onto another surface has strange, faint shadow forms in the reflected light, but nothing truly discernable. In mere starlight or absolute darkness, those near the shard with sight beyond the norm will see images within its small surface which seem to shed no light into the real world, but still be visible. The images are usually hard to place due to a lack of perspective, living flesh, twisitng impossibly hued crystals, bubbling gelatinous fluid and such. No matter what the visions, they are never the same with a new viewing, regardless of how much or little the viewer has moved, though during any one viewing, moving the shard appears to shift the point of view through some other otherwordly space. If the shard is ever totally immersed in warm blood of a living (or just recently living) creature. It appears to dissolve into nothingness. The last person to view the shard's otherworlds is granted a painful, but helpful, vision to some goal or quest of theirs, and finds a strange sharp-edged "drawing" on their left hand, both back and palm reminiscent of the shard's shape. It cannot be removed. [/QUOTE]
