Staff of Dagda (Destroyed)
This was Fionn's Talisman, it was a quarterstaff made of oak, with a
diamond embedded near the top. The form and effect bonuses were vs Demons +5,
Control at a Distance +4. It was imbued with the following:-
- Animare Vestire
Maintains concentration, 24 uses a day, restricted to Fionn's use.
- Call the Druid's Steed
6 times a day. Unfortunately, this spell was installed under the
influence of Hades' Curse. The first time it was activated, whilst trying
to out-swim a Sea Giant and his tidal wave, it caused the talisman to
split down the middle, destroying the item.
Tuigen
This Druid made cloak is woolen and covered with tiny multicoloured feathers,
it was found in a Druid's barrow, where it restored Fionn's mind after a Perdo
Mentem waiting spell. It has several effects including:
- Speak the Tongues of: Animal; Bird; Fish; Plant; Tree.
- Aura of Rightful Authority
- Thoughts within Babble
- Gift of Reason
- Still Invisible (Invisibility of the Standing Wizard)
It also acts as Full Plate protection, but does not allow fast casting.
Shawl of Cernnunos
This item is worn as the High Priest of Coffa. It is an antlered helmet with
a shawl attached. Most effects are unknown. It gives the wearer the effects of
being in a Faerie aura of +3.
The Door of Death
This item currently resides in the only doorway into Fionn's sanctum. It is a
huge stone slab, carved with Fionn's Sigil, the Sanctum marker and has an
inscription in Gaelic. It has room for 300 spell levels, used so far:
- Unlimited Passageway (Rego Terram)
Enables one person to walk through the rock upon activation.
- Wind of the Mundane Servant (Rego Terram)
Cleans the room of dust every morning.
`Validus Vindex' (Powerful Avenger)
Fionn's New, Improved Talisman. This item is already assembled, and has now
been opened for enchantment. It needed 6 rooks for this alone.
This is a 6' long Hazel wood staff, 2" in diameter. The ends are capped with a
black rock, with a diamond embedded in the top. Around the base, 1" above the
capping, are four 1" wide rings, each separated by 1". The rings are made from
a mosaic of triangular pieces of gemstone, the bottom ring is dark green, the
lower middle pale green, the next is white and the top is made from all three
colours.
A handle has been made out of a translucent orange mosaic in a foot wide ring
starting 4 foot from the base. Either side of the handle are two entwined
leather thongs on a fur circle.
One inch below the top cap are three circles of copper, each separated by 1".
The circles are made of three plaited copper strands and tied to each circle
are three leather thongs, each tied to a pin feather from various birds. Just
below these (One and a half inches) is another Bronze circle of similar
design, this has only one feather attached.
Of course these specifications have nothing to do with any Druidic beliefs and
have no Druidic significance (Honest).
