A dappled green Subaru Forester with an unusually large trunk. It has a protective metal cage attached to its front and rear, a sturdy antenna, and a pair of antlers mounted to the hood which seem to grow from the car itself. It always smells of woodsmoke, cinnamon, and leather, and when it drives, it seems to be followed by leaves and needles.

With a flick of the wrist, and when tainted with blood, the fish hook is transformed into a harpoon with a wooden shaft, etched with symbols and verses, cracked and salt-burned lime the hull of a great ship. The harpoon, despite its age and size, glows near brilliant white at the cracks when faced with the hide of a monster to pierce.
After initiation into the Sons, Caleb was troubled with restless sleep and nightmares, all of a scene he'd only heard fanatically raved about from a capstan pulpit...the Great Hunt.
He found himself sleepwalking, gravitating towards a chamber in the old warehouse. These sleepwalks continued, all until he told his Uncle. He was delighted, and told Caleb all about the Hunt and it's purpose, and that these visions must be a gift. He was so glad, he gifted Caleb his lucky fish-hook...something that had been passed down for the last few generations.
Its secrets have...yet to be unleashed though.

Emily lets out a snarl from deep within the folds of her fabric. She draws her paw back, and then strikes the ground. A spike of blood shoots out of her paw, tunneling though the ground before emerging in a location with sudden and remarkable violence. It heads up about five feet before exploding outwards into tendrils of blood, punching though flesh, bone, and steel without care.

You gain the following benefits as long as you are wearing this Artifact.
You have 6 Armor, which reduces incoming Damage. Armor from multiple sources does not stack. Called Shots may circumvent your Armor, depending on its coverage.
Whenever your Armor reduces incoming Damage, you are immediately made aware of the source of the Damage. You may pinpoint their location for 30 seconds.
You may activate or deactivate your armor as a Free Action on your Initiative. As long as your armor is active, your movement speed is halved and you suffer -2 dice to all Dexterity and Perception rolls. While deactivated, it offers no Armor.
With the turn of the page and some quick hand signs, a wicked bolt of necrotic force arcs towards the target like lightning.

The spy can do up their passport to take on the appearance of any valid form of identification they may need.
This Artifact can change its appearance. When not transformed, it is roughly the same size as a passport and just as difficult to conceal.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. This Artifact changes its appearance into an Object within the category of forms of identification. This lasts until you decide to end the Effect, which may be done as a Free Action.
The new object's appearance can mimic specific items (such as a particular painting, a certain person’s ID, etc), but must be of a similar size and weight to this Artifact.
The new appearance is illusory; it will hold up to scrutiny, but its composition is not altered and it gains no new functionality. Any attempt to use it for a function which it cannot perform (for instance, making bread look like a knife and then trying to stab someone) will cause the illusion to fail or allow a Perception check to see through the illusion, at the GM's discretion.
The Scepter of Ang-Kapal is a gruesome device fashioned to look like a skeletal arm clutching a glass eye. When used, blood from the person holding is drawn into the eye where it swirls with dark energy. The eye turns to a nearby corpse and shudders, reviving the creature. The creature does not retain any of its memories or personality, but it is absolutely loyal to whoever is holding the scepter.
The Scepter of Ang Kepal has the unfortunate side effect of driving its owner mad.

Raised creatures have their Abilities set to the same that they were in life. Their Charisma and Intellect are set to 1, but their Dexterity, Brawn and Perception are the same as they had in life. A raised creature cannot use any Effects.
Destroying one of your zombies requires a called shot to the head or heart. All other Injuries zombies suffer result in Battle Scars only, limiting their mobility and effectiveness in other ways.
