lamented the elf.<br>‘True, is this going to work?’ squeaked the gnome.<br>‘My cousin found that brownie, didn’t she?’ replied Fellhorn the druid.<br>‘Human cities make me nervous,’ said the elf.<br>‘We want to unload that weird goblin crown, right?’ asked the druid. ‘I don’t like it here any more than you do.’<br>The elf looked nervous as the gnome sighed. Then the brownie returned and waved them over. The elf gripped the crown until it almost hurt and hoped they would find a good price.<br><br>The trio left town just before the goblin assassins arrived.</em></p> <p><strong>Tapping of Snitches and Fences </strong>(Illusionist)</p> <p>Level 2</p> <p>Range: Current village, town or city (See below).</p> <p>Duration: Special.</p> <p>This odd spell summons a brownie or similar fey creature that the caster then sends off to find a suitable source of information or fence for the caster and/or their associates. Villages and smaller towns only have a 50% chance of being helpful in this endeavor, while larger cities and cosmopolitan areas have a 90% chance of being helpful. This spell does not guarantee smooth transactions, it does pinpoint the current location and known hangouts of helpful individuals. The summoned fey may tend to help with negotiations being a native of that society if treated well, after which time it blends into the background.</p> <div id="jp-post-flair" class="sharedaddy

This is a terrifying process to behold as the house creaks and groans along with the giant as the two either merge or separate. House Giants can sleep comfortably, unaware of the house’s inhabitants comings and goings for years, when woken they usually cannot tell friend from foe and tend to attack first, especially since they are usually hungry. Houses inhabited by one of these giants do not gather ghosts, demons or other spectral creatures. Buildings with a House Giant tend to be more stable and less inclined to decay or fire.</p> <div id="jp-post-flair" class="sharedaddy sd-like-enabled sd-sharing-enabled"><div class="sharedaddy

eyed the strange thing dubiously.<br>‘It could be worth a few gold in Thek-ganab,’ the gnome replied.<br>‘You heard him,’ the elf said, jabbing the gnome in the ribs with a well aimed toe.<br>The gnome pouted and crossed his arms.<br>‘Do you hear birds singing?’ Fellhorn asked the others.<br>Elf and gnome both shook their heads.<br>‘Drop that as we cross the lake, let that bad magic sleep a while,’ the druid implored.<br>Acting as if it pained him greatly the gnome complied as the trio crossed the lake.</em></p> <p>What strange mage or mischievous deity created such a thing? One thing is for sure, it causes a lot of chaos wherever it goes. And even if ‘lost’ in a deep lake or ocean it always seems to surface again and again.</p> <p><em>Benefit:</em> When held or carried by a sentient being the amulet causes first all wild birds to flee the area in roughly a one mile radius. If the magic item is not moved after three days then domestic birds do anything that they can to escape the area. After five days Intelligent avian creatures become agitated and irritable, with a 25% chance of knowing the reason for their agitation and they will either try to find the amulet or get away from it. Irritability grows in an avians exposed to the charm after two weeks after which sentient avians gain an insanity while wild or domestic birds die.</p> <p><em>Usable by:</em> Anyone.</p> <div

A successful hit means that the dagger turns on its owner (if not a dwarf) for the first round of combat and deals 1d6+1 damage, or, if the owner is a dwarf, turns on any non-dwarf within 10′ 25% of the time, maybe the intended target, maybe an ally. Anyone bearer to drop the dagger must make a Wisdom Saving Throw with a -2 penalty to drop it.

A wee bit taller and much more slender than halflings or gnomes, they were silent and carried javelins with grim determination. The mercenary stopped to pondered these strange, Fey shadows. Who had caused this? Wrilk? What could the dwarf had done? Skorbi? Maybe, wizards are weird and do odd things, it must be the wizard because he could think of nothing that he himself had said to offend the Fey, he was sure of that. He turned to look and saw two hedgehogs suddenly scurrying off in two different directions in the grass, it was time to tell the others.
