The Rope of Herithi

By:

A magical rope with many useful properties.

Full Item Description

A rope of wonderful quality made from the finest hemp.  Not a strand appears out of place.

History

The first such rope was made by Herithi the Beggar and combined much of his art.  The one he made is currently in use by Herithi as a belt.
They are often created by journyman Entwiners as masterpieces for their qualification as Master entwiners. As such, they tend to have variances in their abilities corresponding to individual tastes.

Magic/Cursed Properties

Created as showcases of the Entwiners art, the ropes are all of extremely high quality and bear assortments of entwining spells worked into them. 

All such ropes (apart from defective ropes) have certain properties in common.  They have great strength, both due to excellent craftsmanship allied with knots of strengthening.  The rope can change its length dramatically as well upon command. 

Campaign Use

A generic item, this rope is a useful piece of equipment and can be found as treasure.  They are occasionally put up for sale, being greatly prized by criminals as well as adventurers.

Properties short list

* Extremely durable, as tough as magically strengthened steel.
* Can change in length from 3’ to 500’ in length.
* Can become a stiff as steel, allowing it to support up to 1 ton without bending.
* Can tie and release itself upon command.
* Once per day it animates upon command, obeying even fairly complex commands and acting as a constrictor snake in combat. Duration of animation is usually for 1 hour.
* Once per week, it can act as a Spirit Cord for 24 hours.

Tis as simple item, and not interesting enough in my opinion to stand as a separate item.


Random Idea Seed View All Idea Seeds

This tome looks like a haphazard collection of random notes on different types of paper stitched together and bound within a wooden cover. The pages describe all of the 300,000 gods of the world, each in the language of the people who worship them. The book is stored high in the mountains, kept safe by an order of monks. Reading the entire book confers a deep understanding on the nature of the cosmos and access to incredible power. This only works, however, if it is read without translation, meaning that the reader must master each language contained within. The various monks know these languages but there is typically only one alive at a time who knows them all. This monk would be an excellent source of information and/or magic. IF the PCs learn about it; IF they can find the monastery; IF they can convince the monks to help them; AND if they can understand the convoluted riddle given as an answer.
