Item descriptions - CYOA

~~~~~~Armor~~~~~~

>Spiked kettle helmet, it used to belong to your father. A helmet made of steel in the shape of a brimmed hat with a single spike atop of it. Has cheekpieces for extra protection, apparently it was a gift from an old friend of his from a far away Kobold country.

>Gambesson or padded shirt, it used to belong to your father. An old, padded, stinky coat that's comfortable to wear and provides enough protection without slowing you down. Your father 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.

>Klivanion, a light lamellar armor made with metal plates sewn on leather, originally worn by Hellenon and Septentrian light infantry. Pretty popular and widespread due to its low cost and maintenance. It has shoulder guards and comes with a lamellar skirt that protects your crotch and thighs. The armor allows for free movement thanks to its design. Better protection than the Lorica Hamata while still considerably light.

>Leather gloves. Plain leather gloves, nothing special.

>Bronze Armguards, they protect most of the forearm, wrist and back of your hands, surprisingly enough they are very light and don't feel clunky.

>Bronze Shin and Kneecap Guards. Light and don't impede movement, protect the front of your shin and kneecap.

>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. [NOT IN POSSESSION]

>A plain small Heater shield, has a gray opaque paint on it.

>Steel tipped leather hiking boots, they used to belong to your father. Both have a hidden blade at the tip. This is very expensive shit. Makes you wonder if your father looked just like you, since you never met him, because all his clothes fit you like a glove.

>Tinted goggles, they used to belong to your father. Shaded with a special reactive that blocks harmful sunlights, also offers protection during sandstorms and strong winds.

~~~~~~Accessories~~~~~~

>A locket with a sketch of your grandmother and your grandfather. You have always kept this to remind you of who you are and were you come from.

>Shiny, Silvery metal Apophis Ring. it appears to be made out of the same shiny, silvery metal as Smija's cowl-hood thing that she never seems to take off (Except when she's with you...), a completely round Reddish Jewel with a vertical slit in the center that makes it look like the eye of a Snake, just like the ones her cowl has. The ring is shaped like a coiled Serpent. [NOT IN POSSESSION]

~~~~~~Weapons~~~~~~

>Magitek blunderbuss, it used to belong to your father. One shot and uses a less than minuscule amount of your mana pool. Not very effective in long ranges. Horribly effective in close quarters, they are even banned in some city-states. Can be loaded with its respective ammo or with junk such as pebbles and nails.

>A Blackjack, lead tightly packed at the end of a small rod all lined with black leather. Good stuff to knock people out.

>Gudden– Goedden– Doegogen– G- Goedendag? [REPAIRED]. It used to belong to your Grandfather. Foreign weapon, gramps always made you train harder when you could not pronounce its name. It is basically a stick with a metal bludgeon and a spike atop of it, almost a meter long, easy to swing around. It has spikes to the sides of the bludgeon and a disk guard, pretty menacing weapon. Can either use it with one or two hands. Repaired and modified by certain Kobold blacksmith.

>Double-Barreled Magitek Flintlock Pistol, Ur-Shemath manufacture. Has silver engravings depicting a man riding a horse, its barrels are made of steel. It has two triggers and can fire both rounds at the same time. Has a rifled bore for better accuracy and a safety block to prevent the gun from firing while carrying it loaded. Has a silver bludgeon on the butt for good ol' pistol whipping action.

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

~~~~~~Ammunition~~~~~~

>Dragonshot. Ammunition for you Blunderbuss, tightly packed alchemical wonder. Shoots a flaming fireball along with wild flames when fired. Perfect for burning stuff, I don't have to mention how dangerous this is. Expensive ammo, Nex Alea brand.

>Lead Scattershot. Ammunition for your blunderbuss, lead balls tightly packed along with an alchemical propellant. Perfect for medium to close quarters. Inexpensive ammo, Nex Alea brand.

>Rifled Lead Slug. Ammunition for your Blunderbuss, A chunk of lead with grooves to the sides, packed along with the same reactive scattershot has. Its rifling makes it very accurate at long distances. Decently priced for your convenience, Nex Alea brand.

>Bottles of holy water. You have heard and read tales about these things, they are supposed to burn undead and dark beings, banish spirits and demons. Could be handy if things get funny down the crypts. The bottles are small enough to fit in your hand.

>Silver-coated Lead-core Balls for Pistol, A big, Silver ball with a lead core, packed along an alchemical propellant, special ammunition for pistols, highly effective against Undead and Werepeople.

>Lead Balls, A big lead ball packed along an alchemical propellant, standard munition for handguns. Made by Nex Alea.

>Firebombs, small bottles made from a thick glass that only breaks when thrown, with a swirly red and orange liquid. Upon breaking, the contents inside undergo an alchemical reaction that causes them to burst into flames, splattering the surrounding areas with flaming liquid and creating a carpet of fire.

>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.

~~~~~~Miscellanea~~~~~~

>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.

>Canteens filled with water. You can also fill them with other liquids if you feel like it.

>Copper flasks, they don't hold much, but they are 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.

>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.

>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. 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

~~~~~~Loot~~~~~~

>Brass spyglass telescopes. Hand-held foldable telescope for terrestrial observation.

>Unknown brass instruments. Shaped like the quarter of a circle, with etches on its arc and a moving arm.
