miniature kobold hand

Metal: Unknown
Appraised Cost: Unknown
Properties:
Dimensions: ? length x ? width x ? height
Sources: Source is Guildfest 412/Auction

Usable once per day.

  • STUDY: You believe that the hand is a necromantic device of some sort, that can be TURNed to activate its magic.
You think that you can also TAP, WAVE, POKE, LICK, RUB, and TOUCH the hand.


Abilities

  • TURN: You slowly turn a miniature kobold hand in your hand, murmuring a soft ritual as you do so. Profane thoughts and eerie whispers fill your head as some dark power far too immense to comprehend seems awakened by your meddling, and turns its attention toward you briefly.
You think that whatever you drew the attention of is benevolent, at least toward you.
Suddenly, a severed limb crawls into view, trailing fresh blood behind it! The claw stands itself upright on the bleeding stump, grasping about and lurching as if feeling for living flesh.


Fluff

  • TAP: You tap lightly on your kobold hand, and it seems to flex iself into a fist very briefly, then relaxes again. Although it could be your imagination.
  • WAVE: You wave your kobold hand back and forth lightly, admiring the detailed metalwork involved in its design.
  • POKE: You poke the ends of the kobold hand's fingertips, and find that the claws are quite sharp.
  • LICK: You lick the claw and discover that your tongue tingles as it touches the claw, but otherwise it's rather reminiscent of moss and rotting fish with a hint of iron.
  • RUB: You lightly rub the back of your kobold hand, and its fingers seem to curl up just slightly.
  • TOUCH: You lightly touch your kobold hand, and it curls itself up into a tiny fist.


Recall

You attempt to remember something about a miniature kobold hand, but your senses are suddenly overwhelmed. Pain. Separation. Falling. Flashes of light, color and sound flicker through you, nearly incoherent in their jumbled presentation as the sensations of loss abruptly come to a stop and your point of view seems to jerk forward, upward, away...
You see a Prydaen man kneeling before the twitching, bloodied corpse of a kobold. He moves erratically, yet with a mad grace that seems to indicate practice and intention on a deeper, perhaps instinctual level. As the man completes his ritual, your perspective violently shifts once more, and you find yourself twitching and grasping as your no-eyes look upon he who has given you new life, new purpose.
Your vision suddenly returns again, and you are left gasping for recently denied breath.
