Peg-leg Pete’s Peg Leg
Peg-leg Pete had an island shaman make this enchanted artificial leg from a shaft of corewood out of the island chain’s most holy grove. Then he snagged it and ran without paying. A few weeks later he fell overboard during the recovery of a skiff and was crushed between the vessels.
When Peg-leg Pete’s Peg Leg is submerged in water, all wood within a few dozens meters is drawn towards it. This pull is fairly weak… usually… and was used by Pete to pull in driftwood or use the ‘tug’ to find submerged barrels or chests. It exerts about twenty pounds of pressure and acts almost identical to a “wood magnet”
Forseen four sessions after acquiring :
“Pioty, you hear a sharp crack directly above you over the sound of the falling rain-“
“I leap backwards!”
“Roll Dex. 11? A massive tree branch falls directly in front of your new position.”
…
“Pioty, where do you leave your kit when you make camp?”
“With those goblins around, and our Druid to keep the violent critters at bay? I probably won’t hear them sneaking up to steal anything over the pitter-patter of the rain on canvas… hmm… I’m using it as a pillow.”
“Okay. Defy danger, wisdom. 4? Mark XP. You wake up with your tent on fire, most of the campfire nudging up against the doorflap.”
“WHY DO YOU KEEP DOING THIS TO ME?!?”
“WHY DO I KEEP DOING THIS TO YOU?!?”
