12/01/08(Mon)15:42 No.309427771 Barrels of barrels on the floor. Crack one open, see whats inside, pass the loot around.
6 largish, irregularly shaped crystals, warm to the touch, and pulsing as though beating hearts. They appear to be amethyst, jade, sapphire, quartz, ruby, and topaz.
Should one be picked up, a wordless query will be projected into the possessor's thoughts, to which the holder can think an affirmation or a refusal.
Should they refuse, the holder will feel an overwhelming urge to put the gem back in the barrel.
If approval is granted, the bearer will be infected with a disease that will cause them to sweat similarly-colored liquid over the course of 2 weeks. Each day, a CON save must be made; failure temporary reduces the bearer's INT by 2. Each day that the INT save is failed, a second save must be made with failure resulting in a point of WIS loss.
After the two week period, if the bearer has survived, and their INT has not dropped to 1, they will feel as good as new, if not better, having gained 5 STR, 5 CON, and the ability to transform into a crystalline golem-like structure by declaring "Gem Setta!"
In this form, they have access to all of the powers and psionic abilities of a gem dragon of the appropriate type, at an age category equal to the sum of their character levels. |
