For context, they managed to successfully accomplish an impossible task (defeating a Lich with it’s minions) to save their tribe’s armoury and magical item stash. So their master, an Ancient Red Dragon, will give them an item from his own collection
ever published
Hold on, I need to refer to my Book of Erotic Fantasy.
their master, an Ancient Red Dragon
That gives me some ideas.
Oglaf is the best
Im listening
A baaaaaad dragon
Ah yes, the bad dragon. An interesting and wholesome thing, really. Go look for it when you have time at work.

Either the strap on that becomes real and turns you into a futa or the riding crop that lets you cast Dominate Person as a 9th level sorcerer.
There’s also an item called the Staff of Holy Pleasure that let’s you cast some…interesting spells.
“Is that a Staff of Holy Pleasure in your pants or are you just happy to see me?”
“It’s both.”
It’s going to start with a Girdle of Masculinity/Femininity and end with a new sorcerer bloodline.
Even if we stay in the realm of official content, there’s still the “Nipple Clamps of Exquisite Pain” from the Book of Vile Darkness.
Art not from me, but unless you are new here you know that already
Be careful that they don’t end up asking for stuff like… I dunno
The wand of Orcus
The book of vile dead
Sphere of annihilation
all magic items includes the items wielded by gods haha
The wand of Orcus
Sounds actually a fun item to roleplay for a DM :)
The Armor of the Dread Emperor.
Love Konsi! She deserves to be the new meme format.
I cannot believe some no life gave this a downvote. I agree with you
Honestly if nothing else comes from lemmy, we at least got Konsi out of it. It’s all worth it now.
Entirely, I really miss those weeks where we got those comics
For Konsi, the perfect item would be the Resurrection Sphere. Infinite use wish-tier resurrection, with a 1 minute casting time.
It still counts if it’s a 3pp Pathfinder item, right?
For Konsi indeed good choice. She wouldnt care they come back as different races. Which would lead to both hilarious and fucked up moments with the families of the deceased
Spoilers for the author’s campaign below, which might also be spoilers for the comics if they follow the story as is.
Considering Konsi >!herself came back as an orc according to ahdok!<
I haven’t seen Ahdok for a while, hope they’re okay :(
I think the last comic was the end of a story. Dont know if there will be more… hope so :,(
They ran out of their backlog of comics.
Oh okay! So hopefully more are still coming! Thanks for that update
While not comic panels, they did a daily Konsi for Gobtober.

They’re still posting on Mastodon. They did say that they had finished up the story arc/backlog that had. So not as many posts around here.
Nooo I’m a monk
Get whatever has the highest resale value, then.
Which would also kickoff a fun side quest of finding a buyer, since the most expensive magical item in existence isn’t exactly something you can pawn off in a random towns general store lol
They are in a kobold tribe that doesnt use money in an apocalyptic world. So, good luck on finding the buyer XD
…gloves of soul catching, staff of striking, magical tattoos, there are options…
No dick whip? How else do you make every part of your body lethal?
A cockring that shoots magic missiles. They are white of course. That or a hell of a stap on
I was thinking parley keeping a weapon into having the dragon use a combination of them to transmog it into a sentient serpent for the lols.
Had something similar a few sessions ago; party was raiding Vecna’s ancient submerged capital castle to find his Dark Library, and each one got to have one “secret” of their choice. Wizard took a diabolic contract, the quest item; Cleric took an amulet that can exorcise demons; Fighter got a divine message and took some oil of invulnerability, but he also got greedy and took a belt of storm giant’s strength.
Of course, the trick is that Vecna wanted them to get those items because he’d been orchestrating the entire campaign for a payoff centuries in the future. He’s not even going to show up in the campaign, all he has to do is send his AD&D minions that have nonsense like STR-draining grapple attacks and the demilich “devour soul” variant action as a gaze attack to gatekeep the library after the fact, because old-school D&D monsters don’t care if you were born in 5e.
But… why did vecna wanted them to have these, including an item the oil that is a consumable ??
The DM will figure that out later
Greyhawk’s LG god of war (that the Fighter follows) is Heironeous, who has a rivalry with his LE god of war brother Hextor. One of the cruxes of their schism is that Heironeous was chosen to have aforementioned oil called “meersalm” which effectively gave him mythos-Achilles damage immunity (per AD&D rules, can’t be hurt by anything less than +5 weaponry). There’s not really rules for the item itself, so I figure 1. it’s designed for gods and is only permanent when applied to someone of divinity, and 2. it’s incredibly secret knowledge. Heironeous also has a super-secret daughter that was kidnapped by Hextor and given to Dispater to imprison, and there’s an order of Heironean paladins whose task is to (in addition to being specialized fiend-killers) find information on how to locate and ultimately free her.
The party had gotten involved with said order of knights, who had been nearby supporting a group of archeologists that had come under pressure by a guild of sorcerers that try to keep all knowledge of Vecna secret so no one abuses his dark power. The knights had lost some of their number on a scouting expedition, in which they had intercepted some travelers that a nearby tribe of Lizardfolk had kidnapped for a Vecnan cult, followed the trail to the cult, and managed to beat MOST of the bad guys but not everyone. The cult’s lair is one of few entrances to the underground pathways that lead to Ykrath, Vecna’s capital city, long since sunk into the swampy Rushmoors almost immediately after his disappearance following his conflict with Kas (an event which the Ykrathians call “The Downfall”). Legend says that the Ykrathian king (Vecna) was such a feared politician and military commander that it was theorized he somehow had knowledge of all secrets in a mythical dark library. Brief aside, a favorite anecdote of Vecna’s cruelty is that when a town’s leaders left to offer their own lives be taken to have their citizens spared, Vecna had them strung them up on poles to watch his army murder everyone else.
The endgame is that, after several unrelated cells of his cult set various groups into motion (corrupting a baron in the Fighter’s backstory, setting ghouls on the Cleric’s monastery home, inspiring a Spirit Naga to enslave a town, etc.), the party starts adventuring, comes into contact with the cult to find the magic mirror he bestowed on them (it individually insta-kills the generals that remain in the city and uses their souls to create an avatar, but the party gave it up to one of the generals and upset the balance of power in Ykrath instead) and informs the order of secret evils deeper in the swamp’s underground. The order, having interacted with the archeologists and having the longshot idea that they and the party can find this library through this. The two groups team up, find proof in his library that Hextor allied with Dispater (anything else taken is a pittance of payment, and if Heironean powers suggest taking the legendary ointment for their god’s choice of use then even better), and eventually free the daughter (bestowing the oil upon her if they still have it), vastly upending the balance between the two gods of war. As Hextor’s might dwindles over the coming years of battle across the region, Vecna (who already has another cult practicing heresy that Hextor and himself are actually the same god) will take some of his evil divine portfolios and domains. A relatively immediate victory for the forces of good, but with a different adversary on the horizon that’s become more powerful and has already proven capable of out-maneuvering them.
The only ways out of the plan at this point are if the party either uncharacteristically gives up on the mission entirely/TPKs (in which case the knights at this point still roughly know where they need to crusade to; delaying the inevitable), or somehow convince the god of justice and war to look over giving his own daughter the immunity oil, to instead try to bury the centuries-old hatchet with his brother who had caused so much suffering to the people of the world, but avoiding the power loss entirely. Additionally, even though the mirror likely won’t be making him an avatar anytime soon, it’s still imprisoning a powerful druid that his cult trapped earlier. Also, the High Magistrate of The Gran March that the party had been knighted by is also the local high priestess of the notoriously-zealous Church of Pholtus (LG god of light and the last organization to fight Vecna’s empire in recorded history), who will take the continued existence of Vecna’s empire rather poorly and will rile the clergy into a fearmongering frenzy, especially with the knowledge that knights of the realm (party) had willingly agreed to not only pass over having a Pholtan priestess accompany them (they had asked for help earlier, proven useful, and was offered services again if necessary), suffer the great Satan’s generals to live, but agreed to export resources to said generals under penalty of subservience (the party saw the subterranean populace that’d turned Gollum-esque over the years underground and took pity). He doesn’t have to lift any more fingers at this point, this plan is effectively complete as far as Vecna is concerned, grudges .
TL;DR: Vecna is a manipulative bastard and the majority of the campaign up to this point was completely by his design. That design being I wanted a 1-20 campaign and found a great way to use late-tier-2/early-tier-3 to motivate the party to get roped into extra-evil things later down the line. They find one evil, notice a bigger evil behind it, and in their drive for goodness make enough of a mess for the lesser evil to slink away while they’re all distracted.
Please offer The Head of Vecna
Im not offering anything. They choose
Ever published? I’ll take a Hammership, please
No can do. It has to fit in a dragon’s horde. Sorry
Take your head of Vecna, player, and sit down XD

If you were at my table, Id ask for a d20, and on a nat 20 Id allow it and bullshit my way into this
A single Candle of Invocation.

Use Magic Device?
deleted by creator
Not sure if it still exists in 5e but back in my day there was a skill that would allow you to activate a magic item you normally couldn’t, including spoofing your alignment.
So a CG trickster cleric could conceivably BS the candle into letting her get its benefits. Including being able to Gate in a Genie…
Edit: Also, if it’s sitting around in a red dragon’s collection, it probably doesn’t match his alignment, or he would’ve just used it himself.
I’ll allow it
The great book of “Dispel Kraken”.
Whats in the book of sex magic kept in ankh-moreparks dungeon? It could only be read in an ice cold room by wizards over 80 years old, ideally when dead. Sounds like a good find.
My 120 years old Liche : Interesting…
Mmmm double entendre on your synonym while doubly qualified. Amazing!
Alchemical Jug for Infinite supply of mayonnaise. Easy.
Funny thing is, there is one kobold in the team that would probably do it. Then offer it to the cheff of the tribe, Linéon Piedléger, a halfelin that is like Gordon Ramsey and likes to taste new meats…
There is soooooo much more you could do with an infinite jar of mayonaise than merely to eat it.
🤨
I was thinking of it as a multi-use replacement for this. Why, what did you have in mind?
Something involving a dragon’s dick personnally
I’m a simple man, and will just ask for a AD&D 1e Unusual Sword +5 Holy Avenger, with an Intelligence of 17. Love me that 50% magic resistance in 5 foot radius, dispel magic at will, and +10 damage vs. Chaotic Evil.
Since I’m choosing, I’ll assume optimum rolls for an “unusual sword”, and take: All 14 extraordinary powers: charm person, clairaudience, clairvoyance, determine direction and depth, ESP, flying, heal, illusion, leviathan, strength, telekinesis, telepathy, teleportation, and X-ray vision.
Its Special Purpose should be slay “non-human monsters” disintegrating them on a hit unless they save (sure its special purpose should be slaying evil, but that’s so restrictive. It should speak 10 languages.
Before I forget, it ought to match my alignment, so its ego doesn’t overwhelm mine and make me stab myself or something. But maybe that’s where the fun for the DM comes in?
They sure don’t make 'em like they used to.
Hmmmm. This would be a weird addition to the game. Since they are monsters themselves XD
Yeah, you’d definitely want to keep a sword like that happy, since it might decide to disintegrate you. Plenty of other options for its goal (who it wants to stab) that might be more interesting narratively.
I was just describing one the most OP swords possible in the original DMG — and when just about everyone is a “non-human monster” that’s the power option.
