Crafted Artifact

Chain of Azazel

Created and held by Liv.
A chain of black. It feels warm to the touch

The artifact holds at least one demon bound to obey the commands and will of the wielder and advance their interests. When used a demon wearing a human form crawl's its way out of the object, and leaps out, looking for enemies.

The demon in this iteration looks like a beautiful human with dark eyes, black hair, and dark nail polish. When not attempting to hide it, they trail little bits of shadowy smoke, and bend shadows and light around them oddly. They have thin leathery wings that peel out from their back when they take flight. When firing at range, claws from their hand break off becoming needle like knives in the air.

The demon can speak, reporting on anything it sees, and apply a level of intelligence to understanding the world around it. It will die defending anyone it is ordered to defend.

The summoner can cause the servant to return to its bound artifact at any time.

This artifact is made by summoning a demon, making a deal with it, and binding it to the object in a long ritual.

Expend a point of Battery and spend an Action.

Frank's Multipass

Created by Dr. Theodore "Laz" Lazcowicz, given to Frank Russo.
SLE4442 Chip Card with nanomorphic coating.

A thin coating of nanite material has been applied to this plastic card, which can now change its outer form to become a driver's license, Passport card, government employee ID, security system badge, or any other form of ID or security pass the bearer wishes, including affecting the chip, mag stripe, or NFC components to generate valid responses on scanners.

This Artifact can change its appearance. When not transformed, it is roughly the same size as a Blank SLE4442 Chip Card and just as difficult to conceal.

Spend a Quick Action to activate. This Artifact changes its appearance into an Object within the category of Identification & Security cards. This lasts until you decide to end the Effect, which may be done as a Free Action.

The new object's appearance can mimic specific items (such as a particular painting, a certain person’s ID, etc), but must be of a similar size and weight to this Artifact.

The new appearance is illusory; it will hold up to scrutiny, but its composition is not altered and it gains no new functionality. Any attempt to use it for a function which it cannot perform (for instance, making bread look like a knife and then trying to stab someone) will cause the illusion to fail or allow a Perception check to see through the illusion, at the GM's discretion.

When used as identification and scanned, the scanner will act appropriately and bring up appropriate generic information. Further searches for the identity in the computer will turn up no results. This will not open security doors on its own.

  • Changing the Artifact’s appearance does not allow you to conceal its Alien nature while any of its other Effects are in use.

Purple backpack of Holding

Created and held by Gaius Carter.

A purple Backpack that can hold more than it should be able to.

This Artifact can be used as a container. It is roughly the same size as a Purple Backpack and just as difficult to conceal.

Your Purple Backpack holds 5 times what it normally could. Objects stored inside are weightless.

Living things can be stored in your Purple Backpack. They will have access to anything else inside and may attempt to break free, damaging or destroying the Purple Backpack in the process.

If your Purple Backpack is destroyed, things inside may get out, and it will cease to function until it is repaired.

When scanned or investigated without opening, the contents of your container appear normal and unremarkable.

If anyone other than you opens the container, it appears empty. Others can still destroy it to get at the contents.

  • There is no cost to use your container.

Shade-Tech Firearm

Created by Luci Alessi, given to Minerva McAlaster.
Aesthetically and functionally upgraded AK-47, a Lobaev Sniper Rifle, a Saiga-12, and a Makarov. On the side of the gun is the embossed icon of a shattered snowflake. A smaller patch besides it resembles a laughing fox.

Luci's firearms are typically very overturned and overdesigned. She's secretly a huge comic book fan and her new revelations in regards to her ability to create items using the energies of The Well have opened up the ability for her slightly childish imagination to go wild with possibilities.

When the weapon changes forms, it momentarily becomes a formless amalgamation of thick ink that would sink between the user's fingers if the process of reforming didn't take quicker than a second to complete.

Luci takes an exceptional amount of time sketching out a full blueprint for the weapon of her desire- typically inspired designs from comics or movies that she personally finds cool. She spends time manifesting the item through the use of her own shadows, however she takes extra time to refine the details and give the firearm its own personality. Each and every single one of these has a little bit of Luci and her creative intent inside of them.

Her initials as the creator are imprinted on the side of the firearm.

This Artifact can be used as a heavy sniper rifle. It is roughly the same size as a heavy sniper rifle and just as difficult to conceal.

Attack by rolling Dexterity + Firearms, Difficulty 6. Successful attacks deal Contested Outcome +3 Weapon Damage. The target's Armor is fully effective against this Damage.

You also gain the following effects:

  • You may spend a Quick Action to change this firearm's base stats into those of any other basic firearm.
  • Silencer: Shots you fire can be made silent at will.

  • Changing this weapon's base type affects its range, Weapon Damage, concealability, and roll. Other mechanics of the chosen base firearm (such as the tripod requirement for sniper rifles) apply.
  • Reminder: additional Weapon Damage granted by this Effect does not stack with any other bonus to Weapon Damage. Instead the largest bonus is used.
  • Rifles are +1 Difficulty to use in melee range. Sniper Rifles are +3 Difficulty to use without a tripod or in melee range. Setting up a tripod takes an Action.

Zaino conservante

Created and held by Berlusconi Ulisse.
Dentro ci sta tutto

Solo se lo apre Ulisse si vede il contenuto, se lo apre qualcun'altro lo zaino appare vuoto.

This Artifact can be used as a container. It is roughly the same size as a Zaino conserante and just as difficult to conceal.

Your Zaino conserante holds 5 times what it normally could. Objects stored inside are weightless.

Living things can be stored in your Zaino conserante. They will have access to anything else inside and may attempt to break free, damaging or destroying the Zaino conserante in the process.

If your Zaino conserante is destroyed, things inside may get out, and it will cease to function until it is repaired.

When scanned or investigated without opening, the contents of your container appear normal and unremarkable.

If anyone other than you opens the container, it appears empty. Others can still destroy it to get at the contents.

  • There is no cost to use your container.

Rubber gloves

Created and held by Brie.
Shoulder length black gloves

Brie shapes a meatball digs eyes and a smile into the ball then throws it. The meat starts shifting and pulsing expanding itself into a humanoid shape

Expend a point of Battery and spend an Action. You must use up 3 meats in order to activate this Effect.

Summon a single abomination at your location. They will last until they are destroyed. They are controlled by the GM but will follow any commands you give. This Artifact may have at most 2 minions active at a time.

  • Intelligence: Minions have dog-level intelligence, and cannot communicate back to you. They cannot actively use Equipment.
  • Actions: Minions cannot dodge or Defend. Any Perception checks they make are rolled with 3 dice.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see meat shifting and pulsing to create a humanoid form.

  • When narrating disturbing content, be cognizant of your group's tone and accommodating to those who would like to "fast forward" through the description.
