Message: <blockquote data-quote="KenHood" data-source="post: 4840628" data-attributes="member: 4413">"Thank you.""This is for two years of my life, you foul beasts!"A jet of flame shoots from Swillwort's finger, turning the creatures to ash."Annie, please take the ashes and scatter them in running water.""Right away, sir!"While Annie rushes to the job, Swillwort picks up the wand in a third mage hand. The wand is decorated with spikes and skulls and all sorts of dreadful sigils. "Now, this is the Wand of Super-charged Mass Destruction. This is a basic model, because I fear the more potent versions may be a bit beyond your abilities. It functions as follows..."[sblock=The Wand of Super-charged Mass Destruction]Base Item: Implement (Wand)Enhancement: +1 to attack and damage rolls.Critical: +1d6 damage.Power (At-Will, Arcane, Implement): As a minor action, the wielder imparts his life-energy into the wand to super-charge an attack. This costs a Healing Surge. The wielder can increase the area of effect of an attack by one square. The wielder must use the ‘super-charge’ before the end of his next turn. Otherwise, the wand discharges the energy in a harmless flash of light.Drawback: Each use of the super-charge function requires more effort after the first. The next use costs two Healing Surges, then three, and so on. After a long rest, the super-charger ‘resets’.Note: Any ally in physical contact with the wand can use a minor action to charge it.Level: 2Value: 520 gp[/sblock]After Obadiah completes his discussion of the wand's functions, he smiles, "Listen, you've done a great deal for me today, and I don't think that even gold and a wand can adequately repay you. I have a fervent desire to return to my former profession as an enchanter and scholar. If you need assistance with any arcane knoweldge or enchantments, let me know. I'd be happy to enchant items or cast rituals for your group if you're able to provide the raw materials."[sblock=Achievement: Saving Swillwort]Saving SwillwortYour party has rescued Obadiah Swillwort, a powerful enchanter, from the psychic infection of Origami Rats and provided him with vengeance against his tormenters. He offers his services in gratitude.Benefit: You may rely on Swillwort as a patron. He will assist in arcane research (+2 on Arcane, History, and monster-knowledge checks) and cast rituals or enchant items for you, provided you bring him raw materials (i.e. ritual components or gold).[/sblock]Marco checks his dwarven-made pocket watch. "Oh, dear! Look at the time! If I don't get home quickly, my wife will have a fit."</blockquote>
