Dead Man’s Chest
Grade:
Weak
Type:
Item
Proof of Acquisition:
MARCH 2021 IOTMS
Description:
Yar arg, matey! Mystical storage awaits ye!
This magical pirate’s treasure chest won’t weigh anyone who uses it down at all, so no worries about sleepin’ with the fishes! Javy Dones himself made some magical chests and keys so burying treasures and stressing about people hunting it would no longer be an issue, and now those things have found their ways to people of all sorts. Everyone has precious things to protect and a general need to carry all sorts of useful things, right? This bottomless treasure chest is all you need! Too bad he had to die for such useful things to be passed on from his piratey hands ...
Abilities:
Name: Lock’n’Key
Description: There are all sorts of ways that the key comes into peoples’ possessions, but once it’s found, brandishing it and pushing it forward as if to unlock something will manifest a personal pirate chest with endless storage. Locking the chest back will cause it to disappear, keeping all precious things safe and sound. You never have to worry about your booty being plundered again! [The user must have OOC permission to use this ability on a player character, a player-owned NPC, or an Event NPC as well as associated magics belonging to those mentioned]

- JANUARY 2021 IOTM GIMMICK:
Name:
Scout
Grade:
Weak
Type:
Item
Proof of Acquisition: JANUARY 2021 IOTMS
Description:
This little guy was made to float around people with exciting lives and provide intel, advice, and an extra eye to observe the world. There are quite a few waiting to be found and activated, and though they are entirely mechanical, they possess an artificial intelligence that allows for humanistic personalities of all different types. It seems to have a frenetic energy that has it constantly looking around with its one, backlit eye that serves as its core and displays emotions like an 8-bit screen. The shell around it protects the orb and is always twisting and shifting around it. Even if you get an annoying one, it’s undeniable that Scouts are as helpful as they are annoying at times. Perhaps you’ve made a lifelong friend!
Abilities:
Name: Eyes Up
Description: Even though this lil drone can be annoying at times, they’re great for discreetly scouting ahead, receiving communications, discussing plans, and giving advice both when it’s wanted and unwanted. It accesses some sort of mysterious supercomputer and has a genuine personality all of its own. In fact, sometimes it seems like it might have once been a person, but that’s crazy, right? [The user must have OOC permission to use this ability on a player character, a player-owned NPC, or an Event NPC as well as associated magics belonging to those mentioned.]

Saving Grace
Rank:
Weak
Type:
Item
Proof of Acquisition: DECEMBER 2020 IOTMS
Description:
Find somewhere you want to return to quickly, but it took forever to get there and you need to leave to get food or heal or use the bathroom or something? This highly ornate and handy item will be your saving grace! Just place the golden spike into any flat surface you wish and it blossoms into a floating, glowing dongle over a magical base. Just think of the place you left it and POOF! you’ll be standing there once more.
If you buy one now, you get a smaller beacon that you can plant at the place you’re returning to, so you can teleport back and forth between the two no matter the distance! Convenient, right?
Abilities:
Name: Reload
Description: By setting up Saving Grace outside of whatever cave, dungeon, friend’s house, town, etc. you please, you may return there whenever you wish without all the effort. Using the free smaller beacon, you can place it somewhere like a home base or wherever you might need to go to replenish supplies before adventuring more, so you can quickly pop between the points and get twice the exploring done! You can easily pick up where you left off [The user must have OOC permission to use this ability on a player character, a player-owned NPC, or an Event NPC].

- SEPTEMBER 2020 IOTM GIMMICK:
Name:
Dragon Smoke
Grade:
Weak
Type:
Item
Proof of Purchase: SEPTEMBER 2020 IOTMS
Description:
Someone somewhere thought the smoke that comes out of a fire dragon’s noseholes after a nice roasting looked interesting enough to catch it and condense it with magic, then enchant it into pipes carved into the shape of a dragon. Really they just wanted to be able to look cool and blow smoke as a tavern trick, but it turns out that Dragon Smoke has some really weird effects on non-dragon folk, so ... use with caution. It’s unadvised to inhale, but humans are humans so just use responsibly. Don’t operate heavy machinery or drive while using Dragon Smoke. Side effects may include smelling like a piece of charcoal, disorientation, big brain moments, weakness, giddiness, unperturbable calm, and patches of scaly skin. Not dry skin. Actual dragon scales may appear in random places. All side effects should clear up within four hours of discontinuing the usage of Dragon Smoke.
Abilities:
Name: Chillax
Description:
If the user happens to inhale any of the smoke produced by this pipe into their lungs, they’ll normally experience some initial discomfort in the lungs but otherwise a really nice time. It’s relaxing and peaceful, like all the world’s worries were just fried by dragon fire and have melted away. Some find it easier to think with abnormal clarity, while others just enjoy not thinking and living in the moment, appreciating the present for what it is instead of what it should be. As with all things, it affects everyone a little differently, so occasionally it can have an adverse effect, but normally it doesn’t… [The user must have OOC permission to use this ability on a player character, a player-owned NPC, or an Event NPC as well as associated magics belonging to those mentioned.]

- SEPTEMBER 2020 IOTM GIMMICK:
Name:
Drift
Grade:
Weak
Type:
Item
Proof of Purchase: SEPTEMBER 2020 IOTMS
Description:
Ever needed to get somewhere quickly, but there were absolutely no modes of transportation nearby? Tired of trekking up those mountains on foot or by a slow goat? Is the weather bad enough to cancel your travel plans, but there’s an unmovable deadline or emergency? Any time is a good time for Drift! Drift stands for Dragon Lift, and this flute serves as a one-way ticket to reliable travel! Simply play a tune and a dragon will appear within minutes with a metal carriage built for up to six people clasped in its claws. Tell it where you wish to go and away it’ll fly!
Abilities:
Name: Da Capo Doot
Description: By playing a tune on this dragon flute, the user summons a transportation dragon to carry them and some friends anywhere they wish to go. The dragons do not fight and should combat break out, they will drop their carriage and fly away until it is safe again. A word of warning, the skill with which the tune is played heavily affects the type, personality, speed, and overall quality of the dragon summoned, as well as the safety level of the carriage the user will ride in. Play too poorly and you may get Sniffles the Perpetually Ill or even Gaseus the Flatulent. Users may want to practice their musical skills before long trips. [The user must have OOC permission to use this ability on a player character, a player-owned NPC, or Event NPC as well as associated magics belonging to those mentioned.]

- AUGUST 2020 IOTM GIMMICK:
Name:
Pan Pipes
Grade:
Weak
Type:
Item
Proof of Acquisition: AUGUST 2020 IOTMS
Description:
To be honest, this thing’s kind of a mixed bag. It was fashioned by the god of the wild, shepherds and flocks, nature of mountain wilds, rustic music, and also, strangely, to getting jiggy with it despite the fact he had the butt of a goat. He made this thing out of the reeds some nymphs turned the girl he was stalking into to “save” her, so …
Anyway, whosoever plays a lovely little folk tune on this flute can hold nature by the nads. Wanna grow some plants? Play a song. Want to tame any woodland creature? Toot a tune. Want to suddenly seem irresistibly sexy to your crush? I mean, you can try ... sometimes it works ...
Abilities:
Name: Woodland Woo
Description: By breathing across the hollow reeds one can cause plants to grow and all manner of beasts to become friendly and tame. Flora and Fauna obey the user’s will once a melody is played on the flute, and the magic will remain for the rest of the day at least. The user may also play a diddy to woo a prospective lover, but just know that the magic for this part isn’t super reliable. When it works, it’s great. When it doesn’t, you end up with the bottom half of a goat for the rest of the day, and folks are way less accepting of that sort of thing these days … but make sure not to panic. [The user must have OOC permission to use this ability on a player character, a player-owned NPC, or an Event NPC as well as associated magics belonging to those mentioned.]

- JULY 2020 IOTM GIMMICK:
Name:
Rotten Applekins
Grade:
Weak
Type:
Non-Combat Pet
Proof of Acquisition: JULY 2020 IOTMS
Description:
These black blobs are little more than semi-sentient suckerfish with inexplicable cat-shaped ears. They annoyingly appear on their own out of thin air, nomming on the various parts of humans falling victim to any of the 7 virtues or 7 vices. Don’t worry, they don’t eat flesh. In fact, not all of them even eat. Some do eat away at the emotional essence behind the good and evil impulses, which is helpful for vices, but not so much virtuous intentions. Some don’t eat but instead regurgitate more of the emotional essence behind the good and evil impulses, which is helpful for virtuous intentions but not so much for vices. And much like a pesky box of chocolates, you never know which you’re gonna get ... or when.
They tend to turn colors and mumble what it is they’re eating or regurgitating in little garbled, tongue-too-big-for-mouth voices, in a sense acting as truth detectors on those less forthcoming about their feelings, which is ironic since the Rotton Applekins clearly suffer from and never speak of their own gluttony.
Abilities:
Name: Om Nom Bleh
Description: They sense your sins and virtues, popping in to make matters better or worse at random by either lessening or increasing the tug between good and evil decisions. Hijinks are sure to ensue [The user must have OOC permission to use this ability on a player character, a player-owned NPC or an Event NPC].

- JUNE 2020 IOTM GIMMICK:
Name:
SPATE [Steam Powered All Travel Engine]
Rank:
Weak
Type:
Item
Proof of Purchase: JUNE 2020 IOTMS
Description:
Have you ever had somewhere to go but no way to get there? Worry no more! A family of tinkerers originally from Bosco has created a frankenvehicle from the various parts of all vehicles they found in a junkyard on the rim of Desierto. The main part is of an old steam locomotive, but it does have pieces of cars and boats and even planes!
Want to use the train rails on your own time for free? Absolutely. Want to race across all the lands, on and off-road? Gotcha. Have a remote island in mind but no cash for a boat ride? Yup! Does it even fly?!
...Kinda. I wouldn’t push it.
Abilities:
Name: Locopunk
Description:
SPATE is your go-to vehicle for land and sea travel of all sorts. It’s large enough to comfortably fit several people for multiple days in its housing part and has plenty of deck space for sight seeing. One perk is that it is powered by steam and not magic or lacrima, so it will function just fine even in the Neutral Zone. Despite being made of very sturdy metal, it won’t stand up to any battles, so it’s best to leave it out of combat. It might not be the speediest contraption, but it’ll get you there!
Caution! It’s important to note that the vehicle runs on combustible material to create steam in the boiler, so make sure to have enough on hand to get where you’re going and back. The boiler is a little finicky since it’s hodgepodged together, so keep tools on hand and allow for extra time for travel just in case. Sometimes a hardy knock with a wrench will put it in a better mood. Also, while it can technically fly, it is not very dexterous in the air and it also tends to lurch and shake, which could loosen some nuts and bolts midair...it’s not recommended, but it’s possible for short distances...

- MAY 2020 IOTM GIMMICK:
Name: Pathfinder
Rank: Weak Item
Type: Map
Proof of Purchase: MAY 2020 IOTMS
Description:
This map will help you find a way where there is no way!
But it seems you also need a bit of luck with this map. Most of the time it will lead you where you want to go. It’ll try to tempt you off your path, though, by showing you hidden areas of interest that are sure to grant you adventure and riches! Every now and then it gets a wild hair, and if you give in and stray off the path, you might not like what you find.
Abilities:
Name: Adventure Time!
Description: Opening up the scroll and speaking out a personalized incantation will magically reveal the area around you for several hundred miles. Just tell it where you wish to go and it will plot a course to it. The user will never be lost again! However, it makes no promises that the route it has plotted will be the safest one, and it also tries its best to tempt the user and potentially their party off the plotted course by revealing points of interest. [The user must have OOC permission to use this ability on a player character, a player-owned NPC, or an Event NPC]
