CRYSTALS OF WATER
These small, clear crystals contain a single drop of water. When smashed on the ground, however, they create a deep pool. A figure carrying the crystals may spend an action to discard a crystal, and create a 2” body of deep water anywhere within 6”. The pool must be on the ground. If a figure is standing where the pool is created, the player controlling that figure may immediately move it to any safe point on the perimeter of the pool. If this treasure is rolled, the player finds 3 crystals. These can be divided amongst the warband in the normal way. A figure may carry up to 3 Crystals of Water in one item slot (a figure carrying 1 or 2 crystals also uses one item slot).
BOOK OF MAGIC
This ancient tome contains many lost secrets of Warden magic. When found, it may be given to a Warden, who immediately gains 50 experience points. The book is consumed in this process. A book of magic may never be bought.
FOLDING BRIDGE
This item looks like a small piece of wood, about the size of a playing card. A figure carrying this item can spend an action and discard it to create a 2” wide by 6” long wooden bridge. One end of the bridge must be touching the figure that used the item, and both ends must be anchored to the ground or a piece of terrain. It may not be placed on top of any figures. This bridge is a permanent terrain feature.
FOOL’S GO L D
This appears to be a small sack full of gold nuggets, worth 500gc. Closer examination, however, reveals it to be nothing more than worthless rock. Whenever a crew returns to the mainland they may attempt to spend the Fool’s Gold. This must be the first activity attempted on the mainland. The Fool’s Gold can only be used on one purchase and is consumed in the process. Any purchase above 500gc can be made with the player supplementing the Fool’s Gold with real gold. Roll a die when making the purchase. On a 1–2, their scheme has been discovered. The transaction is not made, but the Fool’s Gold and any supplemental real gold is lost, and the crew must immediately leave the mainland and return to the Archipelago. On any other result, the deceit isn’t discovered until the crew is safely back at sea.
GAUNTLET OF THROWING
A figure wearing this gauntlet does +1 damage when making a shooting attack with throwing knives.
GARISOL RING
This large ring contains a fire opal whose colours swirl in a strange, mystical pattern. If a Heritor utilizes either the Daze or Burning Eyes ability while wearing this ring, the Target Number for the target’s Will Roll to resist is increased to 17 (instead of the normal 16).
HERB POUCH
The Herb Pouch takes up one item slot, but may hold two herbs, essentially allowing a figure to exchange one item slot for two herbs. It may not hold potions.
MAP STONE
Roll on the Map Stone Table (Rulebook, page 81).
OFFERING BOWL
This magic silver bowl, covered in delicate etchings, is really only of use to snake-man priests who practise blood magic. It can be sold to collectors, or it can be destroyed. If it is destroyed, the Heritor immediately gains 30 experience points. The bowl gives +1 to all Casting Rolls for spells which require the caster to have killed a sentient creature.
NIGHT SPEAR
This is a magic hand weapon with +1 Fight, Armour Piercing, and Executioner. Whenever a figure wielding this weapon wins a hand-to-hand combat, regardless of whether or not they do damage, it immediately suffers 1 point of damage. The Night Spear can be sold for 600gc, but can never be purchased.
RING OF STRENGTH
This magic ring gives the wearer +2 to any Fight Stat Rolls (i.e. rolls against Target Numbers, it does not help in combat).
ROPE
Whenever a figure carrying rope is standing at the top of a vertical structure, such as building or cliff-face, it may spend an action to set a rope. Place a marker next to the figure, and a corresponding one on the ground at the base of the structure, to mark the placement of the rope (or use a piece of string). Any figure may now use this rope to climb the structure without suffering any movement penalties. Any figure at the top of the rope may spend an action to cut it. If this is done, remove the rope markers, and any figures on the rope must make a Move Roll with a Target Number of 20. If a figure fails, it falls and takes damage as normal. If it succeeds, it grabs hold of the structure and remains in its current position. A figure carrying rope may only set one rope per game, but always starts the next game with a new rope.
SILVER HOOK
Any figure that has suffered a Lost Fingers or Crushed Arm permanent injury may choose to replace their hand with the Silver Hook. This is the only way the Silver Hook can be used. The Silver Hook does not take up an item slot. A figure with the Silver Hook always counts as armed with a magic dagger; however, the figure may never be armed with a two-handed weapon, a shield, a bow, or crossbow. The Silver Hook is Indestructible. If a figure ever heals the Permanent Injury that allowed him to use the Silver Hook, then the Silver Hook is immediately discarded.
SPELLEATER BROOCH
If a figure wearing this brooch is the target of a spell, it may discard this brooch and cancel the effects of that spell. This must be done after the Warden has made a casting Roll but before any Will Rolls are made.
SWIF T OAR
This magic two-handed weapon can also be used as an oar for a small boat. If a figure equipped with this oar is in a small boat, that boat receives +1” of movement (up to a maximum of 7”)
WAND OF MAGIC POWER (2)
When carried by a Warden, this wand supplies two points of magic power, each of which can be used once per game to increase either a Warden’s Casting Roll or their Will Roll to resist a spell by 1 per point used. These points can be used individually on different rolls, or used together on a single roll.
EXPANDED WEAPONS AND ARMOUR TABLES
The Lost Colossus Weapons and Armour Table is designed to replace the Weapons and Armour Table found in the rulebook, and players should use it whenever they are called upon to roll on that table. This new table greatly enhances the variety of different weapons and armour that can be found, but players should choose whether or not to use it at the start of their campaign. If using it, a player should roll once on the Lost Colossus Weapons and Armour Table, and then again on the specified sub-table to determine the type and properties of the weapon found.

If ammunition is rolled, the player may choose whether they have found an arrow (for a bow) or a bolt (for a crossbow). Once this decision is made, it cannot be changed. Either way, the player finds one arrow/bolt of that type. This ammunition takes up an item slot as normal; however, a figure with a quiver may hold one piece of magic ammunition ‘for free’ in the quiver. All ammunition are one-use items. Once a player has fired the arrow/bolt, it is lost. If a player uses magic ammunition with a magic bow or crossbow, the player must decide whether to use the bonus from the ammunition or from the bow or crossbow, not both.
