This fabulously-jeweled goblet was recovered by the Knights now known as the Shields of Defiance, in the monster-haunted Angarth Hold. It is filled with a violently bubbling syrupy liquid, which glows from within. Although the amount of liquid drunk from it barely seems to lower the volume, it has lowered noticeably, and a slight ring around the top shows that it used to be much fuller. The Shields of Defiance now guard it in the chapel of Angarth Hold, and use it only when inducting new members to their order. However, one of the order, a traitor named Marduk Oscara, has been drinking from it while on guard, which has increased his power immensely. He plans to seize it for himself, and conquer the other members of the order. Effects: On sipping from the Chalice, a person gains a +1 inherent bonus to all of their ability scores, and gains 1,000 experience points. These effects require multiple uses in order to stack (two sips after the first to gain +2 bonus to ability scores, three further sips to increase the bonus to +3, and so on), however the experience point bonus applies each time. The Chalice originally had 50 ‘doses’ within it, but after its discovery in Angarth Hold, and usage by the Shields of Defiance, it holds only 12 uses. History: Originally crafted by the Mage-Lords of Gaharru, this elixir was a prize for victorious gladiators. It was designed to make them stronger, faster, tougher, and more interesting. This ultimately led to their overthrow and downfall, and the exact history of how the Chalice ended up in Angarth Hold after so many years, is unknown. Minor Artifact; CL 20th; overwhelming transmutation aura; Brew Potion, Tenser’s Transformation. (Originally posted on Game Masters Stash on 19 March 2018) Categories All Comments are closed.
