Adventure Summary
Horror of Nospace is a 2 to 4 hour one-shot adventure for
3 to 4 PCs at 2nd level. The adventure is horror-themed
with elements of mass death, body horror and cosmic
horror. In a game like this consent is important, so make
sure your players are okay with the elements that exist in
the adventure before running it. Changes can be made to
the narration while running the adventure to lessen the
horror-elements if needed.
This adventure is designed to be used on its own, but
can be adapted to fit into any Spelljammer game.
Adventure hooks
The characters can find out about the ship itself from
rumors and news going around Wildspace. Here are some
possible suggestions:
• A person or object the characters need will be traveling
on the ship.
• The characters are brought on the ship as crew.
• The characters are tasked with escorting an important
person on this journey. This person should survive the
initial event and the players need to keep them alive
throughout the adventure.

Background
The Krynnish gnomes have teamed up with the Dwarven
Citadel to make express travel between Wildspace systems
a possibility. No longer will travelers have to spend days
flying to and from the Astral Sea. Using a brand new
artifact imbued with plane-bending magic, the state of the
art ship Timeskipper can travel through the unstable plane
of Nospace.
The ship is about to take its first commercial voyage
from its shipyard in orbit around the planet Radole.
From there it will jump to the flying cities of the Orc
Angel Celestial before heading towards every known
Wildspace system.
The characters have bought, won or stolen some tickets
to attend this first trip into Nospace. But in the unstable
plane the ship is attacked. A set of spectral glowing jaws
are feeding on the power from the artifact, causing weird
and deadly consequences across the ship. The characters
must find a way out of the plane or perish as the ship
is consumed.
Running the adventure
To run this adventure you need the Dungeon Masters
Guide. You may also want the Monstrous Compendium Vol 1:
Spelljammer Creatures at hand for the Gadabout stat block.
To add some more character specific dread to the final
scene, consider asking the players before the beginning of
the session what their characters biggest regret is? Or what
they are trying to escape from? This can be used to make
the finale feel more personal to each character.
The map of the ship in the appendix is meant as
reference for the DM. This adventure works best without
a map to increase the tension and confusion of where
different things are. But you know your players best, if
they like a crawl, feel free to use the map. In this case
expect the runtime of the adventure to increase.

Adventure structure
Part 1
The characters are introduced into the Mess Hall of
the ship. At this point each player can introduce their
characters and get an introduction to the brand new
Spelljammer.

Part 2
The characters wake up in a ship full of dead people. They
are hurt and close to death. They are contacted by Vinn
Argo, an apprentice navigator scared to death and hurt.
He informs them that the Nospace artifact is damaged and
needs to be shut down.

Part 3
The characters explore the ship, making their way to the
artifacts chamber. Meanwhile a monster has animated and
is stealing body parts from the dead. This monster starts
hunting the characters.

Part 4
The characters cross a weird 300 ft perfectly cut tear in the
ship filled with Time-orbs before facing a set of spectral
jaws that feed on the ships Nospace artifact.

ADVENTURE SUMMARY

 Part 1 - Introduction
At the start of the session, or as the players are boarding
the ship, read or paraphrase the following:
You make your way on board the Timeskipper, the fastest
Spelljammer ever constructed. Carved from the most
durable stone from the Dwarven Citadel, reinforced with
steel plating and accented with glowing blue crystals,
it is an engineering marvel. The new Nospace artifact
skips travel through the Astral sea by bending the planes
themselves around the ship. No more days spent in
Wildspace systems to reach the Astral sea. Travel between
systems will happen in hours.
This is the Timeskippers maiden voyage and you all have
a front row seat to a new chapter in Wildspace history.
In a few minutes you will leave your orbit around Radole,
headed for the floating cities in the Orc Angel Celestial.
After wandering around the ship you find yourselves in the
mess hall in the middle deck. A large cafeteria is serving
a buffet for the passengers. Spread around are tables
and seating, mostly filled with people. A few of the staff
go from table to table cleaning up where guests have left
their meals.
At this point ask each player in turn to describe their
character as they enter the mess hall to find food and a seat.
The jump
When the characters are introduced move on to read, or
paraphrase, the following:
As you eat your food a chime echoes around the hall. The
ships voice-pipe-system turns on projecting the captains
voice across the ship.
“Welcome aboard. We will shortly begin our journey and
make the leap to Nospace. You will feel a slight turbulence
when this happens, but this is nothing to worry about.
When the jump is in progress, consider a trip to the viewing
dome on the upper deck. Have a lovely trip.”
The voice-pipe shuts down and you feel it. A slight shake as
the ship jumps. Then everything goes dark.

Part 2 - The Timeskipper
01 - Waking up
To start of this part of the adventure, have the players
roll Constitution saving throws to determine the order
they wake up in. They wake up badly bruised and sluggish
each with half of their HP total. Read or paraphrase the
following as the first player wakes:
The first thing you feel is something heavy crushing your
left arm. Before your eyes manage to open you smell it.
Iron. Fresh blood. Forcing yourself awake you see what
is trapping your arm. Someone has passed out on top of
it. You manage to pull free. Sitting upright you take in the
sight of the mess hall. Red emergency lights flash on and
off in a slow rhythm. Bodies everywhere. Blood staining the
floor and walls. Serving trays sticking out from backs ans
skulls. Lifeless eyes staring at you. What do you do?
The characters wake up in one by one in the order of their
rolls. Let them explore a bit before moving on.
02 - A voice from the hallway
Suddenly there is a noise from the hallway.
Suddenly, you hear something in the hallway leading to
the rest of the ship. The noise of a distorted sending stone
followed by a whisper:
“Hello? Is anyone there? Ev… everyone’s dead. Please,
someone answer.”
The person trying to reach out over the Sending Stone
communication system is apprentice navigator Vinn
Argo. He is terrified and attempts to contact anyone
who can help.
Vinn Argo
Apprentice navigator on the Timeskipper. This is his
first trip on any Spelljammer vessel. He is dressed in a
naval uniform colored the same blue as the accents on the
ship. Currently his leg is broken and he is in a lot of pain,
wincing as he speaks.
The hallway
Outside, the hallway leads towards the middle of the ship
where an intersection branches off in different directions.
As the characters enter the hallway, read or paraphrase
the following:
The red emergency lights blink in a slow rhythm,
illuminating chunks of hallway as if moving ahead into the
ship. Here too are corpses. Broken. Bleeding on the floor.
The sleek metal of the wall panels are now dented from
the impact of the several crew members dead on the floor.
Pipes and arcane crystals exposed. The air around you is
growing cold. The taste of iron constant.
Close by the door you see a communications unit, marked
by a glowing blue light behind a glass panel. Inside you see
a sending stone, an emergency alert rune and some vials of
healing potions. A pang of static escapes the sending stone
before you hear the voice again:
“Can someone hear me? Please… Please answer.”
Inside the communications unit are the following items:
2 x Potion of healing
Hooded lamp - shines bright light in a 30 ft cone, then dim
light for 10 ft
If the characters choose to talk to apprentice navigator
Vinn Argo, he has the following information to share:
• The ship is ripped in two. He can see this from the
bridge. But somehow the power from the Nospace
artifact is still going to the front half of the ship.
• Something bad has happened to the artifact. It needs to
be shut down so they can return to Wildspace.
• Everyone on the bridge died when the impact happened.
• His leg is broken and he is unable to move.
After telling the characters this, Vinn will urge them to
get to the artifacts chamber to shut it down or destroy it.
03 - Further into the ship
When the characters are done speaking to Vinn Argo they
are free to choose where to go next. Ahead of them is the
hallway leading to the intersection connecting the three
decks of the ship.
The hallway is lit in chunks as the red emergency lights
switch on and off, moving down towards an intersection.
In red flashes you see more bodies. Broken. Missing limbs.
One missing both hands, one the lower part of a leg, one
their lower half. By the smell all are starting to decompose.
If the characters choose to investigate the dead bodies
further they can get the following information on a DC 12
Wisdom (Medicine) check:
• The limbs are torn off by force
• Judging by the lack of pooling blood, this happened
after they died
As the characters come to the intersection, read or
paraphrase the following:
Several floating platforms designed to take multiple people
up and down levels stand still in the center of the room. On
the outside walls, illuminated by faint red crystals, you see
a ladder leading to the different levels of the ship. Scanning
the ladder you catch movement at the top deck. A leg is
pulled over the edge, vanishing into the dark above.
04 - The Timeskipper
In this section of the adventure the characters may explore
the ship as they wish. But they are not alone. A Limb Flayer
has appeared after the ship got ripped out of its travel.
It is hunting them, looking for fresh body parts to keep
rebuilding itself.
Let the characters explore a room or two before the
monster attacks, ideally when they get too comfortable.
More info on how to run the Limb Flayer at page 7.
There are communication units placed around the ship.
So when needed, Vinn Argo can reach out to the players
and nudge them back towards their objective of shutting
down the crystal engine.
Lower deck:
General Atmosphere:
The walls are plain metal, not polished. Arcane crystal
lights and pipes clearly visible. This is not a place meant
for the passengers eyes. It is utilitarian in nature, with no
extras. The doors leading to the different areas are made of
steel and have simple locks. There are fewer bodies down
here, but they are all torn to shreds, most have no libs left.
L1 - The Hold:
A large room used for storage of both supplies and the
passengers luggage. Crates, boxes and shelves stacked with
items make the place a maze.
The Limb Flayer has made this place its nest. This is
where it takes the limbs it needs to modify and build
itself. This is evidenced by a pile of blood, flesh and limbs
in one corner.
Inside the pile the characters can see the shine of a
ring with a stone in the shape of an eye. It is a Ring of
X-Ray Vision.
Encounter. If the characters touch the pile of limbs, the
Limb Flayer will attack after 1d4 minutes.
Uncanny Flexibility. If the monster is reduced to 0
HP, this is the place it will return to. It will need some time
to build itself up again and while doing so, in this space, it
is vulnerable and can be killed. While rebuilding itself it
has 5 HP and an AC of 10.
PART 2 | THE TIMESKIPPER

 L2 - Airlock:
Due to the incredible speeds Timeskipper reach in Nospace,
it is unable to hold air outside its reinforced stone walls.
So an airlock was put in for maintenance and security.
The airlock is a lush and green space. Plants line the walls
and ceiling, mostly green leafy ones, but some red and
blue flowers.
The environment inside is a perfect living space for
Gadabouts (Monstrous Compendium Vol 1: Spelljammer
Creatures). Between the green plants their wings are visible.
There are 8 Gadabouts living in the airlock.
A sliding metal door leads to the outside of the ship.
Right outside the door a forcefield is active, keeping air
inside the ship while in Nospace.
L3 - Systems maintenance:
This room is locked. The door can be opened with a DC 16
Dexterity check with thieves tools.
The constant red from the emergency lights is broken
up by a pale blue coming from the room. Inside is a
room full of machinery, monitors and filters. Glowing
runes, levers and dials mark this as the control center
for the ships internal systems. It smells clean and fresh, a
welcome change.
Inside the room a watermelon sized Time-orb(more in
U1) is floating around. Inside this orb, frozen in time is a
Wand of Emergency, a simple wooden wand with a red
crystal on the end. If a character reached inside the orb to
retrieve the wand, roll 1d4 and consult the table on page 7
to see what happens.
Holding the Wand of Emergency, a character
will notice that a note is rolled around the handle.
The note reads:
This wand has one (1) charge of Dispel Magic.
EMERGENCY USE ONLY!
Characters with a proficiency in Arcana or with
a successful DC 18 Intelligence (Arcana) check can
manipulate the systems.
All systems are currently operating at minimum
levels. If they are pushed to max, the ship will start to
shake violently, stressing the crystal engine more than
it can handle.
The systems of the ship are:
• Airflow
• Magical gravity
• Elevator
• Heat
• Water
L4 - Crew quarters:
Multiple rooms used by the crew to sleep and relax when
not working their shifts. They are simple with metal walls
and no windows. Each room has four beds and a locker
divided into four sections. Inside the lockers the characters
may find some personal trinkets from crew members.
Main deck
General Atmosphere:
Smooth polished metal walls, made to look stylish and
in fashion, are now dented and broken. Smoke escape

from exposed pipes. Every room and hallway has multiple
corpses in them, all with limbs missing. The doors on
this level are polished metal. Most are open so that the
passengers can pass from one area to the next with ease.
M1 - Mess hall:
A large room filled with multiple tables, stools and
benches. At the far end is a cafeteria usually with a
buffet. Now everything is thrown around, dead people,
food, cutlery, trays all over the room. Blood splattered
and pooled on the floor and walls. Most bodies in this
room are intact.
M2 - Passenger Quarters:
These rooms are locked with personal keys given to the
passengers. The characters will have access to their own
rooms if they have any. To unlock one of the rooms a
character will need to succeed on a DC 16 Dexterity check
using thieves tools, or break the door down with a DC 18
Strength check.
Each room contains a wide bed, a sitting area with a
chair and table, and a bathroom. The walls are decorated
with art depicting different parts of Wildspace to give the
impression of windows. Each one animated with a small
illusion. Most of the stuff in these rooms were not secured
and has been thrown around by the impact.
Inside these rooms the players can find everyday items,
clothes and some gold.
Upper deck
General Atmosphere:
Smooth polished metal walls, made to look stylish and
in fashion, are now dented and broken. Smoke escape
from exposed pipes. Every room and hallway has multiple
corpses in them, all with limbs missing. The doors on this
level are polished metal. Most are open so the passengers
can pass from one area to the next with ease.
U1 - Hallway littered with orbs:
A long hallway leads to the front of the ship, connecting
the main rooms. Through this upper hallway is a faint
glow of multi-colored light, breaking the monotony
of red. At the other end the hallway opens up into the
viewing port. But blocking the way there are hundreds of
floating orbs.
Time-orbs
The orbs seem translucent, slightly bending the light
passing though them. They are the size of watermelons and
the hallway is filled with them.
Some bounce against walls, some change direction in mid
air, speeding up and slowing down at random. Inside each
bubble you see the glittering lights of a galaxy worth of tiny
stars. One of them engulfs a part of the wall. Through the
bubble, the metal corrodes, quickly rusting and falling to
dust. When the bubble bounces away the wall returns to its
former state, no rust to be seen.
To move through the hallway without touching the
orbs the characters must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity
(Acrobatics) check. If a character fails the orb will engulf a
part of their body, crating one of the following effects:
 Time-orb effect | Roll 1d4:
1 The object or body part encapsulated by the bubble slowly
withers and dies. If this is a metal object it will rust or
oxidate. If it is biological, like a hand, the flesh will rapidly
rot away, turning to dust and leaving only the skeleton. If
the organic matter belongs to a creature, that creature take
1d4 necrotic damage.
2 The object is frozen in time and space, it both exists and
does not exist. The object is pulled along with the bubble as
it is frozen within it. To get out will require a DC 16 Strength
check.
As the object or creature is pulled along, it has to make a
new DC 15 Dexterity saving throw to avoid hitting more
orbs in the area. If the object or creature is caught in two
or more orbs that go in different directions, it will take 1d4
bludgeoning damage and be let go from the orbs grip.
3 The object or body part turns into the best version of itself
that can be found in the multi-verse. If a part of a sword
enters, this specific part will turn into a +3 sword with a
magical effect of the DMs choosing. A hand will become
incredible strong, every muscle at its full potential.
4 Nothing happens, but a slight tingling can be felt.
When the character, creature or object leaves the orb the
effect ends.
ship, the smell of iron is inescapable. Even the air seems
colder in here.
U4 - Medical bay:
A long room with multiple patient beds evenly spaced
with dividing curtains for a hint of privacy. Equipment,
smashed potions and herbs are thrown across the room.
Some of the beds have shifted over, some collided together.
The smell in here is clinical and clean. To one side of the
room is a collection of shelves and drawers. Most of them
are thrown open, but one drawer is still closed.
This drawer is locked with a DC 12 Dexterity check with
thieves tools and can be broken open with a lever of some
kind with a DC 12 Strength check.
Inside are:
• 4 Potions of healing
• 1 Antidote
Loot and dead bodies
While the players are exploring this half of the ship, feel
free to give them some loot from the DMG loot tables
(p. 136-137). If they examine dead bodies you can use this
table to generate the damage they have:

"He...Hello? Are you there? Something is happening with 10 Both legs missing
the artifact. Please... Can you hear me?"

Behind the glass panel you see the sending stone on top of
a tool box with a metal wrench and other tools inside.
If the characters speak to Vinn, he has the following
information to share:
• The back half of the ship is shaking more and more. He
is convinced that the Nospace artifact is releasing waves
of energy. If it is not shut down soon, it will destroy the
ship.
The tools inside the communications unit can be used in the
final encounter.

U3 - Viewing port:
The outer walls of this room are replaced by a glass dome
allowing passengers to have an incredible view of Nospace
as it warps around them. The view is now completely
still, the galaxies and star systems stretched in a myriad of
different ways. Arranged out from the middle of the dome
are seating areas with comfortable leaning chairs to look
up at the passing sky. Here, as well as most places on the

 Part 3 - Finale
01 - The other side
When the characters are done exploring the front half
of the ship and they make their way towards the engine
room, read or paraphrase the following:
The other half of the ship is floating in space across a
field of translucent galaxy-filled orbs. Behind it, feeding
energy of the ship you see a hard blue glow in the shape of
a sharks jaws. Bursts of purple energy flow in time with a
slurping motion from the jaws. With every sip, the back half
of the ship is shaking.
You would expect a ship torn in half to have left a more
violent scar. But the line across the ship is perfect. A knife
through butter. A storage panel along the wall appears to
be the only thing disturbed by the tear. Its door are open,
cut in two. Inside you see a few climbing harnesses falling
out on the floor.
Investigating the harnesses the characters find that they
have multiple parts to attach rope, but also a few extra
attachment points along the shoulders that seem to have
no function.
On a DC 14 Intelligence (Investigation) or Intelligence
(Nature) check a player can see that these attachments
match the gripping tendrils of a Gadabout, a creature who
wraps themselves around you and lets you fly through
Wildspace without a ship.
Between the players and the back half of the ship is a
void with no air for 300ft. This gulf is filled with Time-
orbs. Moving through the void without the aid of a
Gadabout requires a creature to hold its breath while they
float over to the other side. At a 60ft dash leap this will
take 5 rounds (30 seconds).
With no way to control themselves in the air a character
will have to make a Acrobatics DC 18 to make it to the
other side without hitting an orb. If they loose the check
they encounter 2, if they loose by more than 10 they
encounter 4.
Moving through the field of Time-orbs with the help of
a Gadabout the characters need to make a Dexterity saving
throw DC 12. If they fail they hit 1 orb.
For each orb they hit, roll on this table and narrate
the outcome:
Roll 1d4:
1 The object or body part encapsulated by the bubble slowly
withers and dies. If this is a metal object it will rust or
oxidate. If it is biological, like a hand, the flesh will rapidly
rot away, turning to dust and leaving only the skeleton. If
the organic matter belongs to a creature, that creature take
1d4 necrotic damage.
2 The object is frozen in time and space, it both exists and
does not exist. The object is pulled along with the bubble as
it is frozen within it. To get out will require a DC 16 Strength
check.
As the object or creature is pulled along, it has to make a
new DC 15 Dexterity saving throw to avoid hitting more
orbs in the area. If the object or creature is caught in two
or more orbs that go in different directions, it will take 1d4
bludgeoning damage and be let go from the orbs grip.
3 The object or body part turns into the best version of itself
that can be found in the multi-verse. If a part of a sword
enters, this specific part will turn into a +3 sword with a
magical effect of the DMs choosing. A hand will become
incredible strong, every muscle at its full potential.
4 Nothing happens, but a slight tingling can be felt.
When the character, creature or object leaves the orb the
effect ends.
Landing successfully on the other side takes them into
a corridor where they can make their way towards the
engine room or the bridge.
The bridge
This sleek, state of the art command center is raised a
little higher giving it a view over the front half of the ship.
Arcane runes glow a dim blue at the control panels for
each officer on the ship. Now they are vacant, the bodies
of the officers thrown around the room, bloodied and
beaten, but intact.
In the central Spelljammer helm sits apprentice
navigator Vinn Argo. He will be happy to see the
characters, but startled if they arrive unannounced.
Vinn Argo is in a bad state. His leg is broken and he is
at very low health. To heal him fully and mend his knee
will require 2 Potions of healing. If he is at full health he
will offer to help the characters with the Nospace artifact.
He has the stats of a commoner with a +2 to intelligence.

02 - The Artifact Chamber
There are two doors leading into the chamber. One on
the middle deck and one on the lower deck. Both doors
have the same type of damage. When the characters make
their way towards the engine room read or paraphrase
the following:
As you come down the hallway you see a set of double steel
doors, evenly indented, almost pulled into the Nospace
artifacts chamber by a great force. Moving closer you can
hear a slight hissing sound and feel a draft rush through
where the two doors meet.
The doors are damaged because of decompression inside
the chamber. There are many ways to get inside the doors,
here are some possible scenarios:
• The door can be broken down with a DC 16 Strength
check
• The door has 20 hit points and an AC of 12
• A crawlspace underneath the floor panels lead to an
unlocked maintenance hatch
Inside the chamber
When the players open the door a sudden rush of air will
pull them along.
Every creature within 30ft of the doors need to make a
DC 14 Dexterity saving throw or start their turn flying out
of control into the room.
On the lower level there are pillars holding up the
second level walkway that they can grab on to. On the
middle level the railing of the walkway can be used to stop
their flight.
When the characters rush into the room, read or
paraphrase the following:
The first thing that grabs your attention is the glowing
purple crystal. It seems to move, shift and distort as you
look. Short flashes of color and images from different
planes cross its shape. Around it, holding it in place, you
see a glass cylinder. It is bolted down to the floor by the
glowing runes of an arcane control panel.
You also notice that where there should be a back wall to
the room, there is none. It is torn open. Beyond it warped
galaxies, stretched stars and many rows of glowing blue
teeth. Their movement quicker than their size should allow.
It is feeding of the crystal. Each gulp rushing along a stream
of purple energy and now, you as well.
Roll initiative.
The goal of this encounter is to shut off or destroy the
crystal and return the ship to Wildspace. While the
characters attempt this, two environmental challenges will
hinder them. And maybe the monster if it has followed
them this far.
PART 3 | FINALE
10
On initiative 20 the glowing jaws pull energy from the
crystals. This will cause a rush of air and pull along any
creature in the room. If a creature fails a DC 14 Dexterity
saving throw it will be pulled 10ft towards the jaws and
start its turn falling its full movement towards it, unless it
can find a way to stop itself.
On initiative 10 the crystal releases a wave of energy
in a random direction. Choose one creature the energy
attacks. This creature will see the shape of someone they
know lashing out at them from the energy. They need to
do a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw or take 1d6 psychic
damage on a failed save.
Shutting the engine down
There are multiple ways to shut down the engine. Here are
some possibilities:
• Investigating the bolts reveal that they can be removed
with an appropriate tool (located in room U2). There are 4
bolts, each takes an action to remove.
• A DC 16 Wisdom (Perception) check reveals a crack in
the glass surrounding the crystal. Breaking it will release
the crystal. The glass has an AC of 10 and 25 HP.
• A spell like Dispel Magic will shut the engine down.
• With a DC 14 Intelligence (Arcana check) they can
figure out that there is a sequence to stop the energy
flowing into the crystal. Using 2 actions a character with
proficiency in arcana can disable the crystal, returning
the ship to Wildspace.
03 - Ending
This adventure has two potential end states:
Death
If the party is killed during the final encounter, read or
paraphrase the following:
After the Timeskipper vanished during its maiden voyage
many attempts were made to find and retrieve the ship
and any survivors. As more and more ships vanish in
their attempts, the inhabitants of Wildspace came to an
agreement. Nospace was too unsafe to travel through,
leaving only daring adventurer to explore and tame the
unstable plane.
Survival
When the ship returns to Wildspace the tear along the
middle will be fixed in an instant. The ship can be flown by
any creature capable of controlling a Spelljammer.
As the players succeed, read or paraphrase the following:
Time bends and shifts around you. The galaxies and stars
twist and snap back into their regular shapes. Looking out
through the open hole in the engine room wall you see a
familiar sight. Wildspace. You have returned to tell the tale
of the horrors of Nospace.

Appendix B: Magic Items
Ring of X-Ray Vision
Ring, rare (requires attunement)
While wearing this ring, you can use an action to speak
its command word. When you do so, you can see into and
through solid matter for 1 minute. This vision has a radius
of 30 feet. To you, solid objects within that radius appear
transparent and don't prevent light from passing through
them. The vision can penetrate 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of
common metal, or up to 3 feet of wood or dirt. Thicker
substances block the vision, as does a thin sheet of lead.

Whenever you use the ring again before taking a long

rest, you must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving
throw or gain one level of exhaustion.

Wand of Emergency
Wand, rare
This wand holds one charge of Dispel Magic. It can be
used by any creature. When the charge is used, the wand
breaks apart.
Holding the Wand of Emergency, a character
will notice that a note is rolled around the handle.
The note reads:
This wand has one (1) charge of Dispel Magic.
EMERGENCY USE ONLY!
