Crafted Artifact

Old wedding ring

Created by Freddy Newman, given to Leon Vanderblight.
A golden ring with a red ruby.

Clenching the fist with the ring on it causes screams of victims souls who are inside of the ring to be heard. The ring starts to faintly glow red and something akin to red mist exists the ring covering a smaller area next to the contractor. The mist fades quickly as it came only leaving behind a mindless humanoid being resembling Gladys Newman looks, which has access to a part of her fighting power.

Her actions in the war have left her be feared by her enemies and respected by her comrades. Her country send them there to help people there against the communists ruining their country. What ended up happening was that they were the ones to ruin their lives instead. The many atrocities she committed for “democracy” imbued the wedding ring she bought for her husband, with the hate , fear and pain of all the victims. She tried to leave it all behind by moving with her husband to London. Frederick Newman Senior sadly passed away through a tragic , unlucky car accident leaving Gladys a Women. Freddy still tries to spend as much time as he can with his mother but sometimes her mind wanders off , wanders off back in to the war. She always tried to raise Freddy to be a man that follows the law and helps people, to raise a man and to not make the same mistakes she did. The only thing that she has left from the war is the smell of burning human flesh in her nose and sleepless nights.

Aerotitan

Created and held by Arthur Gilder.
He is a creature from beyond our reality. Existing in multiple spatial dimensions at the same time. He is a massive creature fitted with a harness to carry structures on his ventral and dorsal surfaces.

The airbeast of solitude is the mad scientist's lair and preferred mode of travel. Not only does it include a full science laboratory, it can be collapsed into an incredibly small hide cube and easily transported. The mad scientist may pilot the beast alone or rely on its autopilot features for ultimate convenience.

This Artifact can be used as a blimp. It is roughly the same size as a blimp but can be collapsed into a phone-sized hide cube and concealed. Collapsing or expanding it costs a Quick Action.

This blimp has full sized armory, bullet-proof envelope, and ample parachutes. Any roll to pilot this vehicle receives +2 dice.

You also gain the following effects:

  • Crew of One: You alone may stand in for an entire crew if the vehicle would normally be piloted by more than one.
  • Drive-By: You may drive or pilot your vehicle as a Free Action, without taking any penalty on other Actions.
  • Mind of its Own: This vehicle can move and take Actions without you driving it. It has seven dice for all Drive rolls.
  • No Muffler: Any stealth rolls made to hide your vehicle automatically fail, and any rolls made to notice your vehicle automatically succeed.

This item is a living thing. When targeted, it counts as a Living Creature in addition to its other target types. If destroyed or abandoned for more than two days, it dies and becomes unusable.

  • If there is not enough free space to expand the object, it cannot be expanded. You cannot expand this Object as an attack.

Fabrication Rights Management Chip

Created and held by Luna Aoki.
This small rectangle of what appears to be glass has some inscription on it. "Blueprint - EXPORT VERSION - Bishop-Class Inlay - FRM License S/N 0001-A - 3 Walkers - Tactical Use Only

The operator slots the FRM chip into the universal constructor, selects this program, accepts the end-user license agreement, and then waits as it goes into overdrive.

Over the next few seconds, it renders via a sweeping laser 3d print a set of three Bishop combat walkers.

The Bishops are bipedal forms, with a shoulder-mounted metal storm cannon. They have a pair of arms that terminate in both flexible graspers that double as cutters.

Named after the Black Rabbit of Inlé.

The Fabricator is desperate for materials during the process, willing to take it from anything nearby... even the operator.

The license for this FRM unit states that it's not for strategic use, and thus there is an enforced restriction that units cannot move more than 150 feet from the operator or they deactivate.

This is an 'export' version of the FRM unit that includes reduced armor plating and the standard fire control system.

IV-23 Mapping Geiger Counter

Created and held by Iryna Vorobyova.

Iryna pulls out a contraption that looks like a cross between a printing calculator, a Geiger counter, and a TI-82, tuned together and strapped to her wrist. She turns it on and sweeps the area, tuning it to the latent radiation around her to find the places where it’s most disturbed. It scans the area and prints out the coordinates as well as any instructions on how to get to the weapon.

Exert your Mind and spend one minute.

You automatically detect all weapons of mass destruction within 50 feet of you for the next hour. You have a clear sense of both the distance and direction towards any detected items. When you detect objects, instead of learning nothing about them, you may observe each object with all of your senses.

Even if there are no weapons of mass destruction within 50 feet of you, you become aware of the direction the closest one is in, as well as a rough sense of its distance from you.

The means by which any weapons of mass destruction are hidden or disguised is made clear to you, as well as how to access them if they are secured. This includes objects secured via the Stash Effect.

  • This includes any objects that come into range during activation.
  • This Effect does not satisfy the line of sight targeting requirement for other Effects.
