Item descriptions - CYOA

>Cargo trousers with many pockets to put stuff in (Very useful but look like shit)

 

>A plain old white (Well it used to be white anyways) vest.

 

>Heart patterned underpants. +2 luk, +2 cha when equipped (But just when someone can actually see them).

 

>A pair of plain socks, patched many times, +2 comfort when wearing footwear.

 

>Your old man's steel spiked kettlepot helmet, it looked kind of funny with that single spike on top of it and the droopy ear-cheek protection it had, apparently it was a gift from an old friend of his from a far away Kobold country.

 

 

>Your old man's magitek blunderbuss, easy to use, just load it with something like rocks or nails, pull the trigger and shoot away, one shot though and uses a less than minimal ammount of your mana pool, you won't even notice. Not very effective in long ranges but if you load something big enough it could travel quite a long distance, hitting something was optional. Horribly effective in close quarters, they're even banned in some city-states.

 

>Your old man's gambesson, an old, padded, stinky coat that's comfortable to wear and provides enough protection without slowing you down too much. He had stud some small metal plates to it around the abdomen and sides for extra protection, it has the image of a now faded golden two-headed eagle on the back.

 

>Your old man's tinted goggles, shaded with a special alchemical something you don't know, these offer protection from the suns, so much you can even look directly at them without burning your eyes  that much, also offers protection during sandstorms and strong winds.

 

>Your old man's steel tipped leather hiking boots, both have a hidden blade at the tip. This is very expensive shit. Kinda makes you wonder if your father looked just like you, since you never met him, because all his clothes fit you like a glove.

 

>Leather gloves. Plain leather gloves, nothing special.

 

>Makeshift Ribwood Shield, made with thick planks from an old barrel, lightweight and easy to use. Rectangular-shaped and about the same size as your torso.

 

>Makeshit tablecloth face bandana, to keep sand and dirt out if you're ever stuck in a sandstorm. Just a repurposed old red and white checkered tablecloth.

 

>Makeshift poncho, made with an old patched wooly blanket, keeps you fresh when it's hot, keeps you warm when it's cold.

 

>Old hunting knife, quintessential survival tool, has a serrated side.

 

>Old gardening spade, lightweight and useful for digging shallow stuff, you never know when you're gonna use it, but you better have it.

 

>Spicy dirtmuncher jerky in a vinestraw fiber bag. It might not sound like much, but it's actually a lot considering it's dried stuff. One of the joys of working at a dirtmuncher farm, 10% of your payment was in jerky, you've been eating this crap for 10+ years and you fucking love it. It also has a shelf life of forever.

 

>Three one-liter canteens filled with water. For a whopping total of 3 or so kilograms of water, can last a long time in the desert. You can also fill them with other liquids if you feel like it.

 

>copper flasks, they don't hold much, but they're useful for storing potions and alcohol. They comfortably fit in your pockets and even have that curved shape that adapts to the side of your thighs.

 

>crystal ball with an integrated mana modem for magiknet. Tap into the natural mana currents the world has and connect to the net, all kinds of information ready for you almost anywhere (Please refrain from using it in mana wastes, can and might trigger deadly arcane chain-reactions). That's what the manual says. It's a shame most people shun this type of communication, preferring to use couriers instead and letters, they don't know what they're missing, but it also acts as a filter so those damn plebeians don't ruin your boards with their shit tastes. You can also save images, play magigames and write stuff on your crystal ball.

 

>Makeshift flashbangs. Mid-level alchemy stuff, a solidified mix of sand and magical energy, when triggered by a mana discharge they explode after three seconds, taking and amplifying all light in the area as if the suns had come down to that very spot. Can cause temporary blindness and useful against undead. You made these with the instructions from an infograph .fresco and a lot of willpower.

 

>Human Denarii, or just Denarii. Standarized currency all human settlements and merchants use, exchange rates vary from place to place, so you better know the rates every time you trade. Also 100 copper Denarii equals 1 silver Denarius, 100 silver Denarii equals 1 gold Denarius.

 

>Dirtmuncher leather pouch, to safely store your money, divided in several places to hold different kinds of currency, pretty useful.

 

>Dirtmuncher leather bag, a simple leather bag with smaller pouches inside to conveniently place small things without losing them. Can fit a lot of stuff inside.

 

>Dirtmuncher leather utility belt, to put your pouch, some potions and hold your weapons comfortably.

 

>Roll-up bed. Just a plain old roll-up bed. You've slept countless nights on this one.

 

>Kettle and pot combo, i don't need to describe this one.

 

>vinestraw fiber rope. Lightweight and strong, don't soak it in water though.

 

>hearthstones, alchemical wonders used to make bonfires anywhere, activate and deactivate with mana at will, they last a long time, but it's better to have more than one just in case. You don't know how to make them, yet.

 

>A map of the continent of Aertos, the place you live in. Your homecity of Drywater is marked with a circle, several other towns and other points of interest are all spread around the map. Not very detailed since it's the map of the whole continent

>[Not in possession anymore] A silver-coated war hammer. Apparently also burns/banishes undead and evil, pretty and shiny, also the kind of weapon you're accustomed to use just in case you encounter something bad down the crypts. Used to belong to a Martyr, Agapios, "a relic of sorts".

>Your grandpa's gudden– goedden– doegogen– g- Goedendag? [REPAIRED] You weren't actually sure how to pronounce it's funny name, since it's a foreign weapon after all, gramps always made you train harder when you couldn't pronounce it's name. It's basically a stick with a metal bludgeon and a spike at the end, almost a meter long, easy to swing around, it has spikes to the sides of the bludgeon and a disk guard, pretty menacing weapon, you always trained to use this thing with gramps. Can either use it with one or two hands.

 

>Firebombs, small bottles made of a thick glass that only breaks when you throw them, inside is a swirly red and orange liquid. Upon breaking, the contents inside undergo an alchemical reaction that makes it's content burst into flames, splattering the surrounding areas with flaming liquid and creating a carpet of fire where they hit.

The ring is shaped like a coiled Serpent.
