THE SHINO SUTOKA KATANA

Current Owner: Captain Kuchoff Magnus
Origin: Fumetsu warrior from the Realm of Ouchou Juyon
Previous Owner: Byron Le’Abboltt (inherited after his death in battle)

 

Combat Mechanics

  • Armor Penetration: Ignores half of any target’s armor bonus
  • Critical Hit Effect: Automatically inflicts bleeding condition (1d4 damage per round until healed)
  • Special Property: The blade remembers its previous wielders

 

Hidden Lore

When Kuchoff first attempted to wield the Shino Sutoka, he failed his proficiency check spectacularly and nearly removed his own foot! The katana was originally taken from a Fumetsu warrior from the Realm of Ouchou Juyon. Some crew members swear they’ve seen Kuchoff use techniques he couldn’t possibly know, as if guided by the blade’s memory.

 

 

THE BOW OF ACCURACY

Owner: Loher D’Rolwynn McLaaud
Material: Magical light wood
Acquisition: Retrieved from Monere Tower

 

Combat Statistics

  • Attack Bonus: +5 to all ranged attack rolls
  • Cover Penetration: Ignores half cover completely
  • Critical Range: 19-20 (expanded from normal 20)
  • Maximum Effective Range: 600 feet with supernatural accuracy

Legendary Feat

Balt Copperbottom witnessed Loher split an arrow at two hundred paces with this bow. “The second arrow didn’t just hit the first—it split it perfectly down the middle,” he reported. This level of precision goes beyond normal archery skills, suggesting the bow enhances not just accuracy but the archer’s perception of wind, distance, and target movement.

 

Tactical Applications

The Bow of Accuracy has proven effective for precision shots and coordinated tactics with other crew members using invisibility abilities.

 

 

BALT’S LEGENDARY GREAT AXE

Owner: Balt Copperbottom
Enchantment Type: Returning weapon
Service Record: 300+ years of undefeated combat

 

Weapon Properties

  • Base Damage: 2d12 + Str modifier
  • Rage Bonus: Additional 1d6 damage during berserker rage
  • Return Mechanism: Immediately returns to wielder’s hand after being thrown
  • Multi-Target Capability: Can pass through multiple enemies before returning

Combat Applications

The axe can pass through multiple enemies before returning. In one recorded instance, Balt hurled it through three hobgoblins and still had it return to his hand in time to block an incoming attack.

 

Dwarven Craftsmanship

The axe represents skilled Ferrum Mons smithing. The returning enchantment was crafted using techniques from the Copperbottom family lineage.

Design Origins

The ship’s transformation abilities were partially designed based on knowledge gained from the Hollow. Tatenda Waxx’s father, Captain Mario Waxx, used insights from the cave’s strange properties when helping design the original “creature controls.”

 

 

THE COLLAR OF FAMILIARITY

Current User: Euka (Lybiidae’s caracal companion)

Notable Quotes

Euka’s first public statement while wearing the collar during a diplomatic meeting: “That necromancer needs to take a bath. And yes, I’m saying this out loud on purpose.”

 

The collar has transformed Euka from a simple animal companion into a full member of the crew, capable of participating in tactical discussions and offering insights that only a feline perspective could provide.

Ranger Bond Enhancement

The collar allows Euka to participate as a full crew member, providing complex scouting reports and tactical input that only a feline perspective could offer.
