Gollaon and Voddick watched as the daughter of their charge moved through the crowd with purpose, occasionally reorienting herself. The pair followed behind, giving the young woman room to maneuver while keeping her within sight. “She seems very sure of her movements,” said Voddick. “I believe she is searching for someone,” said Gollaon. “She is doing an excellent job.” “And I think she has…

Gollaon and Voddick looked at their rations. “Well, they keep well,” said Voddick as he dropped the brick-like item into the boiling water. Voddick watched it sink into the water. “That they do. It would be nice if they were more appitizing,” “Truth,” nodded Voddick. “Once we are back in the city, we will dine like royalty.” “Only after making our employer ‘enjoy’ a meal of these rations,” said…

Gollaon and Voddic pursued the killer through the corridors. Voddick gestured at the path through the garden. Gollaon nodded and dashed out into the darkened greenery. “We almost have them,” said Voddick, keeping up the pretence that Gollaon was still with him. The killer broke left, not knowing the halls as well as the pair. As he passed by the entrance to the garden, Gollaon drove a knife into…

Gollaon and Voddick watched as the warriors marched by, draped with flowers over multi-colored cloth, on a fine spring day. “It is a lovely display,” said Voddick. “Life and death, war and peace, all intertwined,” said Gollaon, unusually grave. “Many will return.” “And many will not,” said Gollaon. “Today, our years of fighting and watching combat.

Wondrous Item, One Of A Kind, Attunement Required

It is said that long ago, the spirit of the most benevolent and beautiful princess was cursed by a jealous sorceress. In turn, she became trapped within the crown for all time, her spirit corrupting any who dared to wear the item, slowly reshaping the wearer into the very image and heart of the princess herself.

The princess, whose name was lost to time is described as having the fairest skin as white as fresh snow, lips as red as an apple, eyes as blue as the sea, and hair as brown as the great trees. Her beauty was regarded far and wide as the most timeless. But it was her kindness to strangers and willingness to help those in need, with any problem or request they might have.

When you attune to the crown, you become immediately aware of another spirit slowly entering into your mind. Unfortunately, you can not speak on it, address it, or affect it. The spirit immediately begins to change you. You must subtract points from your other attributes moving those points to your charisma attribute until it becomes your highest attribute.

With each passing day until the next full moon, your form slowly changes, taking on that of the princess herself. The change affects every feature except for your race. By the next full moon, the change completes, becoming permanent and irreversible.

With every stranger you come across, you become enamored with helping them with any problems or needs they may need addressed. You may refuse to assist them, however, you are effected by an insurmountable sadness. This can only be overcome by helping someone.

After helping someone accomplish their goal, you become filled with boundless joy and a point of inspiration. After helping the tenth person, you no longer gain the inspiration. The satisfaction of helping others is plenty enough reward.

By the third full moon, the spirit of the princess has fully overwritten your own. The princess's spirit is generally Lawful Good and friendly to all, even to those who would wish ill. The princess has a Wisdom of 10(+0), an Intelligence of 14(+2) and a Charisma of 26(+8). Physical stats are dependent on the host body. She has additional proficiency in Animal Handling, Nature, and Persuasion.

Voddick ducked under the buzzing whip. Gollaon flicked a knife at the whip-wielder, forcing them back momentarily. “We need to get them away from the others!” “It is difficult! That whip is striking everywhere!” replied Voddick, from behind his shield. “Hound and hares?” “Hound and hares,” replied Gol;aom, breaking left while Voddick broke right. Wasp Whip These whips are made from chains of…
