Rise of the Runelords

R
Ryvian

Varisia is a land of ancient ruins. It hides secrets of Thassilon.


Author's Note: The town of Sandpoint welcomes you with open arms—a place of quiet beauty, seaside charm, and a fresh start. But beneath its peaceful surface lies a hidden past. Forgotten ruins dot the countryside. Old tales speak of lost empires and forbidden magics. And recently, subtle signs suggest something is beginning to stir. From mysterious happenings in remote corners of the world to whispers of long-buried evils, fate is weaving your path into something far greater than you imagined. What begins as a simple journey will become a battle against the legacy of an empire whose sins still linger—twisting the world in unseen ways. Rise of the Runelords is a sweeping fantasy epic where ancient secrets rise to the surface, unlikely heroes are forged in fire, and the echoes of the past demand reckoning. Adventure awaits. The world is changing. Will you rise to meet it?

Description

You can use an action to speak this staff's command word and throw the staff on the ground within 10 feet of you. The staff becomes a giant constrictor snake under your control and acts on its own initiative count. By using a bonus action to speak the command word again, you return the staff to its normal form in a space formerly occupied by the snake. On your turn, you can mentally command the snake if it is within 60 feet of you and you aren't incapacitated. You decide what action the snake takes and where it moves during its next turn, or you can issue it a general command, such as to attack your enemies or guard a location. If the snake is reduced to 0 hit points, it dies and reverts to its staff form. The staff then shatters and is destroyed. If the snake reverts to staff form before losing all its hit points, it regains all of them.
