    So she is a roving dry-cleaning service, eh?

    Would be one explanation why R’occo and T’ony are chasing her.. she ruined their other suits.

    I will never leave my DM alone until I receive a badger-launcher of my very own.

      Agreed, this is something every adventurer needs.

      Along with a ballista for sneak attacks.

    …I think I’m in awe.

    This is the kind of creativity that makes DMs wary of their players, making both sides improve their wits. A pen of infinite ink that can create any type of ink – doesn’t sound too dangerous, right? Just wait until they’re forging a document that requires a “rare sepia ink”. *click of a setting on the pen being adjusted*

      Or ink derived from a rare and valuable species. The fun thing about non-specific abilities is that everything doubles as access to a couple otherwise ultra-rare items.

        And years later…

        (I’m amazed no one dared to post that! Entire generations of WWW users are missing this essential experience. I still remember the first time I watched the end of that video. Just when you started to think it wouldn’t get any more epic…

        And I kinda like thinking that I’ve might inflicted the dreaded BadgerBadgerBadger on some unsuspecting newbs…)

    Looks like the Tentecallis have been playing Fallout 3. 😉

    Oh, and beautifully done, chaitea!

    This made me look up the decanter of endless water, and I noticed on max setting it has a constant rate of water, a large recoil, and no given limit to how long it can be active. Attach multiple of them to a metal framework and a harness, and you have a jetpack with no fuel limitations! (Yes, there are already items for flying, but that just isn’t as fun…)

      Those are probably more expensive then this jetpack idea

    Badgers can be pretty dangerous. Just ask Scott Walker.

    To answer the ‘how long it can be active’ question: according to an old issue of dragon magazine; the decanter taps into the Elemental Plane of Water and so can be active forever, or until turned off. Hmm…methinks the Palace is going to be on the recieving end of a lawsuit; thief of Legal magic items from a citizen (subject of the crown?) by a member of the Guard. Not good. Only thing worse than a badger launcher would be a Wolverene Launcher! BTW if you punture or cut a hole in a bag of tricks or a bag of holding, it is ruined for good. Pity, I love the idea! Great new NPC for the Party 🙂

      Two things:
      1) Mostly, illithids are not eligible for citizenship in human kingdoms, nor do they care to dwell on the surface for more than hours at a time. Lawsuits are unlikely.
      2) Most fabric is water-permeable without cutting holes in it, and the bag might be constructed from masterwork-quality burlap.

      You can only use it ten times a week. If that was a wolverine, no big deal, but since she explicitly refers to it as a badger (and on research and further perusal, the bag does appear to be grey), a badger’s the best you can do, not a typical result. With more patched-together objects, however, it works well as part of a formidable arsenal.

      The X-Men have a Wolverine launcher. They call him Colossus.

    Huh. She works “for the palace” but never as much as specifically addressed the Princess?
    I fully expect the Princess to disavow Perkins. And half-expect to hire in the next phrase or so. :]

    I am familiar with all the bits except the funnel, where can I find the reference for it?

    and bag – o – Tricks can also summon a warhorse and rhino…. ouch to be hit by one of them.

    This is why I love when DMs reward thinking with in-universe ingenuity with allowing the results of said ingenuity. The tradeoff is when a cobbled-together item goes horribly, horribly wrong, but those can also make for interesting times.
