Dreaded Creaturesof Mystara
Bl ack Bal l or Deadly Spher e is quite possibly the deadliest cr eatur e in the m ultiver se. A
featur eless black or b appr oxim ately 5' in diam eter , the Black Ball destr oys w hatever it
touches. Seem ingly ber eft of intelligence the cr eatur e m oves r andom ly disintegr ating
ever ythiing in its path. It's or igins and m otives ar e a com plete myster y.
The Br ai n Col l ect or , or Neh-thalggu in their ow n tongue, is an abom ination fr om the
Dem iplane of Nightm ar es. An am or phous body w ith four yellow or bs for eyes, six cr ab legs
and a r ow of shar p teeth, the Br ain Collector is beyond com pr ehension It exists to kill sentient
cr eatur es and take their br ains. The cr eatur e does not seem to even view its victim s as alive.
The Decapu s is an ar bor eal cr eatur e know n its its ten lim bs. Not m uch m or e than a tor so and
tentacles ending in shar p hooks, the Decapus lies in am bush above their pr ey. The cr eatur e
also m akes itself at hom e in abandoned buildings, hanging fr om the r after s. And aquatic
ver sion exists, floating w ith the tide and m enacing all it com es acr oss.
Dr agon n e ar e m agical cr eatur es w ith the head of a lion and the body of a gold dr agon. Found
alm ost anyw her e except ar ctic r egions, these solitar y hunter s ar e som e of the m ost dom inant
hunter s ar ound. Know n for their fear som e r oar and deadly attack, Dr agonne ar e often sought
by som e knights as m ounts. W hile difficult to tam e, they ar e loyal steads if captur ed young.
Dr ol em s ar e a cr oss betw een a dr agon and a flesh golem . Cr eated by only the m ost pow er ful
w izar ds, Dr olem s ar e the height of golem cr afting. Extr em ely pow er ful, Dr olem s ar e im m une
to m ost m agic and m agic item s. Their one w eakness is their lack of intellegence, and the fact
that living dr agons hate them w ith a bur ning passion, attacking the Dr olem w ithout pause.
Hi vebr ood r epr esent one of the gr eatest thr eats in the Know n Wor ld. An insectoid r ace of
par asites, they infect captur ed sentient beings and tr ansfor m them into Hivebr ood. If left
unchecked Hivebr ood w ill com petely str ip an ar ea of all its population and m ove on to the
next ar ea. Hivebr ood infestations ar e often m et w ith a m ilitar y r esponse.
M u j i n a ar e extr em ely str ong cr eatur es know n for their ability to change their face to m atch
their victim 's appear ance. M ujina's ow n face is sm ooth and featur eless. They hir e out often
as assassins, som ething they excel at. W hen the M ujina attacks, it often show s its tr ue for m to
fr ighten its tar get. The M ujina's gr eat str ength allow s them to w ield gr eat sw or ds one handed.
Nu ck al avee ar e disgusting centaur -like cr eatur es. W ith over sized heads and tr anspar ent
skin, they ar e dedicated to cr eating m iser y w her e they can. Com m only allied w ith fr ee w illed
undead, the Nuckalavee ar e a thr eat to the ver y envir onm ent they live in. Their m er e
pr esence kills off native fauna, tur ning their sw am ps into a lifeless bog.
Th ou l s w er e a m agical com bination of a ghoul, hobgoblin and tr oll. Despite their ghoulish
or igins Thouls ar e ver y m uch alive. W hile not a num er ous r ace, Thouls ar e know n for being
har d to kill and ar e often found hir ed as bodyguar ds to hobgoblins and other evil r aces.
Thouls m ake for vicious com batants, due to their ability to par alyze like a ghoul.

Captain Quinn's Nautical Empor ium
The pr ide of the Minr othad Islands is pr oud to of f er these f ine magical items
acquir ed af ter a lif etime of adventur e on the high seas. Each of these f ine
magic items w ill make any ship's captain's lif e so much easier , you'll w onder
how you got along w ithout them. Pr ices ar en't listed, because if you have to
ask, you can't af f or d it. Check us out in Harbortow n, the Old Tow n side.
Am u l et of Ti m ek eepi n g. For those you who know anything about navigation,
the only real way to know where you are going east to west is by keeping
accurate time. This beauty does exactly that. Use the command word and it
will keep accurate time no matter what.
W hile activated you know the exact tim e, and gain advantage on all skill
checks using navigator 's tools m ade on the open ocean for navigating.
(Uncom m on)
Bal an ce of Con ver si on . This beauty is a must for people trading in areas that
don't accept coins, or for cashing in gems without having to pay the jeweler's
fee. Simply put either coins or a gem on one side of the balance, say the magic
word, and the balance will turn coins into a gem of equal value or the gem into
coins of the gem's worth.
W hen activated the balance w ill tur n up to 1,000 coins (the balance only
holds 100 coins if not in a bag) in a gem of equal value. If a gem is placed on
the balance then the balance tr ansfor m s it into local coins of equal value.
The balance can be used up to thr ee tim es a day. (Rar e)
Bead of Dew. This one you'll want to stock up on. Perfect when you have to
stock up on your water supplies but your source of water is of a dubious
nature. Just drop one of these into a barrel of water, and you've instantly got
pure clean drinking water.
The bead w ill pur ify up to 100 gallons of w ater w hen places in the vessel
containing the w ater. The effect is per m anent, though the w ater m ay foul
nor m ally after w ar ds. This uses up the bead. (Com m on)
Cabi n et of Secu r i t y. A must for captains who don't like people meddling in
their affairs. The cabinet has several functions, and you'll use all of them. First
only you can open it without magic. Second it can't be moved unless you want
it to. Third, and most important, you can decide what drawers are visible when
people are looking through it.
The cabinet has thr ee effects, all tr igger ed w ith the com m and w or d. The fir st
effect causes Ar cane Lock to be cast on the cabinet. This lasts until its ow ner
uses the com m and w or d to deactivate it. The second pr events the cabinet
fr om being m oved. The only w ay to m ove the cabinet to take a section of the
floor w ith it. The last effect allow s the ow ner to cr eate an illusion that any
num ber of dr aw er s to appear as em pty shelves. Any of the effects can be
used as often as needed. (Rar e)
Ch al i ce of Det ect i on . This one is a true lifesaver. Nothing fancy about it, any
kind of poison is put into the chalice and it turns it into a frothy foul smelling
green liquid. You will instantly know that somebody is trying to drug you.
Then all you have to do is use the cat of nine tails to figure out who.
W hen a poison is placed in the chalice, the chalice tr ansfor m s the liquid
inside it to a gr een foul sm elling fluid. W hile it does not neutr alize the
128
poison, it is im possible to m iss the tr ansfor m ation. (Uncom m on)
Desk of St u dyi n g. For you Aurumancers or other wizardly types, you need
this. The desk speeds up the time it takes to memorize spells from a few hours
to just a few minutes. W hile the desk to too large to take adventuring, it's
perfect in a captain's cabin.
W hen a w izar d sits at the desk to pr epar e spells, it only takes 1 tur n to
pr epar e all the spells instead of 1 m inute per spell level. (Ver y Rar e)
Ear r i n g of Seam an sh i p. So you've got a landlubber that don't know the jib
from the head and you can't just throw him overboard. W ith this little gem
you'll make a salt out of him yet. Just stick it in his lobe and he'll automatically
know the difference between a rope and a line. If he ain't got his ears pierced
yet, well, that's why they made knives.
Wear ing the Ear r ing gives you pr oficiency in Vehicles (Water ). (Uncom m on)
Fi gu r eh ead of Pr ot ect i on . If you don't have one of these on your ship yer a
damned fool. This beauty will keep your ship from harm, no matter what.
Rocks, sea monsters, or ballista fire fire just scratches the paint. The only way
your ship is going to the deep is through sorcery, nothing else will touch it.
W hile attached to the bow of an ocean going ship, the ship gains Im m unity
(non-m agic attacks). (Legendar y)
Gaf f of Dock i n g. The best way to make money on the seas is to leave nothing
to chance. This item's effect isn't impressive, but the peace of mind it gives a
ship's captain is worth the price. Just touch the gaff to the ship or mooring you
are docking with and your ship will effortlessly slide along side it. Can also be
used for boarding actions, but you didn't hear that from me.
W hen touched to a dock or another ship, your ship w ill gently m ove along
side it, no check needed. (Com m on)
Gavel of Au t h or i t y. W hile a Captain's M ast is rarely a pleasant thing, with the
gavel at least they will listen to you. Just slam it down once and everyone
present will be captivated by your every word. Great for stopping mutinies
before they start.
W hen activated your Char ism a based skill checks have advantage for 1 tur n.
The Gavel can be used thr ee tim es per day. (Uncom m on)
Han dk er ch i ef of Fl i r t i n g. This one you will get a lot of use out of at parties
and soirees. Just wave it in front of your face, say the magic word and for the
next hour you will be the life of the ball. Ladies will find you irresistible, no
matter how bad your jokes.
W hen activated you have advantage on all Per suasion skill checks of a
r om antic natur e against char acter s of the opposite sex for one hour. The
Handker chief of Flir ting w or ks once per day. (Uncom m on)
Han dk er ch i ef of Len gt h s. This is a discrete but effective lifesaver. Looks like
an ordinary kerchief, but you say the command word and you can lengthen it
out for a couple hundred feet. Great when you need to make a quick get away
off a balcony or have to tie up some guard while you do a little ransacking.
The Handker chief w ill go fr om sever al inches long to up to 200 feet long
w hen you pull on it as you use the com m and w or d. The w eight w ill not
change, and the handker chief has the sam e toughness of silk r ope. It w ill
r etur n to nor m al size if you use the com m and w or d again, untying itself on
129
the opposite end if necessar y. (Uncom m on)
Ever f u l I n k w el l . If you're a penny pincher like myself, you'll love this magical
creation. It never runs out of ink, ever! Write your memoirs knowing you've
spent your last copper on ink. It won't even spill when tipped over! How can
you beat that kind of value?
The inkw ell never r uns out of ink w hen used w ith a pen. The ink is
non-m agical, and w ill only com e out w hen a pen is dipped in it. (Com m on)
I r on s of I m pr i son m en t . Sometimes you have to clap a man in irons. Knowing
our business, that man will usually know his way around a lock or two. So
what to do? Try these magical shackles. They work on command words, they
don't even have a lock! One word locks them in place, another word frees them.
Remember to take them off before you chuck the sorry bastard overboard.
The ir ons w hen activated lock in place as an Ar cane Lock until the other
com m and w or d unlocks them . The ir ons cannot be dam aged except by
m agic. (Uncom m on)
Ladl e of Dr i n k i n g. An absolute must for extending the life of your rum ration!
Just say the magic word and the ladle will refill itself ten times with what ever
beverage you just poured. M orale is much easier to maintain if they know the
booze is safe.
W hen activated the Ladle r efills up to ten tim es w ith a non-m agical bever age
that w as last in the ladle. The bever age is non-m agical, but has all the sam e
pr oper ties as the copied bever age. The copied bever age m ust be potable. The
Ladle can be used once per day. (Uncom m on)
Li br u m of Eval u at i on . W hen you are tired or just being lazy, this book will
turn the task of appraising your latest haul into a minor distraction. Just touch
the gem or jewelry to the blank page on the left, and the librum will give you a
description and monetary appraisal on the blank page on the right. Then just
turn the page and start with the next bit of loot. W hen the book is full, close it
up and start again the next day with all the pages pages magically wiped clean!
A Libr um of Evaluation com es w ith 80 + 2d20 pages. Touching a non-m agical
piece of jew elr y or gem causes the libr um to cast an evaluate spell on it, w ith
the r esults m agically w r itten on the opposite page. W hen the book is full, it
ceases to function for 24 hour s after w ar ds the book is w iped clean and can be
used again. (Uncom m on)
Por t abl e M ast . You will want several of these, trust me. Say you lose a mast in
a storm or to hostile action. Normally you are in dire straights, but with a
portable mast replacing the lost sail is a breeze. Just clear the damaged one out
of the way, place this pole and say the magic word. The pole will grow to
replace the missing mast, complete with fully rigged sails!
The por table m ast only w or ks on ships. W hen the com m and w or d is spoken
the 10' pole gr ow s to the size of the desir ed m ast, and even pr oduces sails and
r igging of the appr opr iate type. Saying the com m and w or d again r etur ns the
sail back to its nor m al shape. (Rar e)
Needl e of Sew i n g. Got this little treasure off an Ierendi captain in a game of
cards, along with everything she was wearing but her socks. This one is a real
time saver. Just touch it to what you need fixed, say the magic word and the
needle will stitch back up! Not just cloth, I've seen this thing sew back
splintered wood good a new. Your sailmaker will thank you for this one.
130
The needle can be used to cast the mending cantr ip at w ill. (Com m on)
Oar of Row i n g. Another fantastic piece of nautical magic, the Oar will row by
itself with the strength of twenty men! Just put the business end in the water
and say the magic word and off you go. Now unless you want to go in circles,
you'll need twenty men on the other side of the boat as well. Or just just buy

W hen the paddle is placed in the w ater the oar w ill r ow by itself as if pulled

Ar om at i c Pi pe. This is just a creature comfort, but a needed one. Place any
combustible material in the pipe, from tobacco to paper, say the command
word and the pipe will turn it into a lovely pipeweed with any flavor desired.
Turn torn up paper into the finest Belcadiz tobacco, or go for more exotic smells
like cherry wood or m int.
W hen the com m and w or d is spoken the pipe the pr oduces a flavor ed sm oke
of the sm oker 's choice. (Com m on)
Pol e of An gl i n g. If you need fresh fish for the crew, or you are fishing for
bigger game, this gem here is what you be needing. Bait the hook, cast the line,
and name your catch. As long as its near by you'll haul it without harm within
a minute. Best part it as long as it lives in the sea, you can catch it! Giant
crabs, sea serpents, merfolk, all can snatched from the sea with this beauty.
Yeah don't expect the mermaid to be happy to see you if you reel her in with
this.
The user nam es a sea cr eatur e and casts the line. If the cr eatur e is w ithin 1
m ile they w ill sw im to the line in 1d6 r ounds. Once the tar get has taken the
bait the pole w ill r eel them in w ithout har m . The pole w ill not w or k on

Str ength save vs. DC10 to avoid the affects. The pole can be used thr ee tim es

Qu i l l of For ger y. W hile I'm not suggesting you partake of any illegal activities,
sometimes you need something authorized and the local authorities are asking
for a tad more than the going price for the service. W ith this dandy item, just
get a sample of their handwriting and you can make any form look perfectly
legal!
The Quill of For ger y r equir es a sam ple of the w r iting to be copied to be held
in the off hand. W hen activated you can per fectly copy the handw r iting of
the sam ple w ell enough to pass any scr utiny. The Quill can w r ite up to 100

Ru dder of Gu i dan ce. Any captain that doesn't have one of these on his ship is
a damned fool if you ask me. You put the rudder on your ship, say the
command word and your destination and the rudder will steer straight to the
destination, never once veering off course. If you have to take a detour, just say
the command word again and the ship is yours. Cuts down on the need for a
helmsman dramatically.
The Rudder of Guidance has to be installed on a ship to w or k . Once activated
the ship w ill not go off cour se, but w ill go the shor test w ay possible, even if
that r oute takes the ship thr ough inclem ent w eather or danger ous ar eas.

Spoon of M edi cat i on . So you've got a man down with an illness, before it

To activate fill the spoon w ith honey and im bibe. The spoon w ill cur e all

Tabl e of Pl en t y/Ban qu et s. This wonder is perfect for saving your ship's stores,
especially if your steward isn't the greatest cook in the world. Simply say the
command word and four meals will magically appear, complete with settings!
The food is adequate fare, and can be summoned three times a day. Now if you
have the gold, upgrade to the Table of Banquets to keep the entire ship happy.
Now the table will expand to feed up to 40 people, just like above. You'll need
the space of course, my suggestion is to use it above decks when possible as the
table will be 60' long. Best part, say the command word again and all the
scraps instantly vanish!
The Table of Plenty w ill m agically cr eate up to four m eals thr ee tim es a day,
com plete w ith place settings, candles and tablecloth. Anything m oved m or e
than 5' fr om the table vanishes. The Table of Banquets w ill also expand up to
60', w ith settings for four additional people per 5' expanded. The Table of
Banquets w ill r etur n to nor m al size w ith the com m and w or d again. It is
identical in all other pur poses as the Table of Plenty. (Rar e/Ver y Rar e)
Tom e of Tr an sl at i on . So you're ashore on the Isle of Dread and the village
chief is telling something and you don't know if he's offering you his daughter
or inviting you to be the main course at dinner. Well, worry no longer! Hold
open the Tome of Translation and all conversation will be translated into the
language of the reader. Works great until you realize the village chief can't
read.
W hen the Tom e is open all dialogue is tr anscr ibed into the language of the
per son being spoken to. The Tom e w ill r ecor d up to 300 pages of dialogue
befor e it slam s shut and r equir es 24 hour s to r echar ge, then it w ill open w ith
all pages blank again. (Uncom m on)
Xylogr aph. One problem you have with a lot of sailors is they can't write for
anything. This is the answer to your prayers! This seemingly boring square
piece of wood will sketch out everything you say with perfect spelling as soon
as you say the command word. Say it again and the grooves magically fill with
ink! Then just put a piece of parchment to it and you've got yourself a letter
that would make any scribe jealous.
W hen you say the com m and w or d the Xylogr aph r ecor ds ever ything said in
its pr esence by inscr ibing the w or ds onto its self. Activating it again fills the
gr ooves w ith m agical ink and you can use paper to m ake the dialogue into a
letter. You can also dr aw on it w ith just your finger , the Xylogr aph w ill shape
to for m your dr aw ing. The Xylogr aph can be used once per day.
