This magic Item is crafted from the corpse of a raven slain unnaturally, wired together and lit with fireflies. It radiates a sense of vague dread to touch it.
The item is activated by contact with a Fey or Extraplanar creature, at which point they must make a Reflex save (DC 20) or become trapped, as per the minimum containment version of the Imprisonment spell, appearing stuck within the rib cage of the raven. The skeleton itself can be crushed from the outside with a normal human’s strength, but the trapped creature cannot affect it themselves. Often created by Druids of the Gatekeeper tradition, they are left as very expensive traps when extraplanar creatures are roaming. How you can use Unearthly Oubliettes in your game: • Your PCs might happen across a creature trapped within one of these. Whether it was imprisoned unjustly or otherwise, it might promise the world or more to be released. • A particularly fearful Druid might have a flock of these items decorating their lair, in hopes of preserving their freedom from a powerful Few they once made a pact with. If sending PCs out on a mission, they might be persuaded to part with one of these to capture a foe within. • PCs who desire to trap a powerful extraplanar creature might resort to crafting one of these traps. The materials themselves are not altogether difficult to gather, but the ritual itself may pose an issue to defend. (Originally posted on Game Masters Stash on 11 February 2019) Comments are closed.
