turned to desperation. Izmer did not even know
who was tearing his caravans to shreds.
Finally Izmer’s scouts found a guard who
survived, if barely. From the story the guard told,
it appeared the lizardfolk had not fled. They had
struck from nowhere, slaughtered the guards,
burned the caravan, and disappeared. Before the

The Staff of the Lower Planes

This unassuming staff appears to be a piece of

people have used the staff as a walking stick
without realizing they were carrying one of the

Random Properties. The Staff of Ruin has the
following random properties:
 2 minor beneficial properties
 1 major beneficial property
 2 minor detrimental properties
 1 major detrimental property
Arcane Focus. You can use the Staff of Ruin as
a spellcasting focus, and spells cast through it do
not require any material component that is worth
50 gp or less. The Staff of Ruin is not consumed
by the spell, even if the spell normally destroys
the material component.
Eldritch Barrage. As an action, you can cast

ability. If you cast eldritch blast and target the

you hit the target with a ranged spell attack for
one beam, any attack rolls for subsequent beams
from the same casting against that target
automatically hit. Any creature hit with more
than one beam takes the normal damage for
those beams, and also takes an extra 2d10 force
damage.
Crystal Ball. The crystal ball embedded in the
demon’s skull allows you to cast the scrying spell
once, regaining the ability to do so each day at
midinight. Whenever you cast the scrying spell
while using the staff as a spellcasting focus, it
makes your scrying spell more effective. Any
Wisdom saving throw made against a scrying
spell you cast through the staff is made with
disadvantage. Furthermore, as long as you are
gazing into the crystal ball, nondetection does not
block your scrying spells.

Gaining a magic tattoo is an act of deep
commitment, for you make its eldritch
enchantments a part of you forever. Placing your
trust in one of the rare adepts who practice the
art of magical tattooing, you gain supernatural
abilities and effects by placing an irrevocable
design upon your skin. The artist binds the actual
spells involved to enchanted needles, which
inject your new power into your flesh with their
ink.
Such tattoos vary in size and design, though
