INTRODUCTION

When last we left team Deep Hammers, 

and their brave band of bug bashing bruisers, 

the party was fighting off a wave of swarming

Giant Spiders atop the main gates of COOZT, 

and at last look, they were getting the upper hand. 

Is it too early to be hopeful?

Let's rejoin the action!!

MASKED HERBAK

HERBAK gets his new mask

GILAM does the ritual to figure out what the mask does (James wasn't present)

MASK WRITE UP:

Magic Time Goggles! (require Attunement)

Base material: Eyes of the Eagle goggles

Enchanted with: Lifeline Ping, Date Object, Presight, DTAnomaly, Lifeline Tether, Temporal Marker

Veralt Presents : Herbak's High-Tech Temporal Heuristic Trifocals

Passive:

See Creature Age - Wearer can see an HP total and age floating above any living creature he looks at.  Age cannot be read on Veralt, as his lifeline is segmented from traveling through time.

See Object Age - Wearer can see the number of years/days/minutes an inanimate object has existed floating above it

Navigation HUD - Heads up display automatically points in the direction of a locked on target creature or object.  Default target when no lock is active is always a simple nickel ring Veralt made

Targeting HUD - Heads up display that is active during initiative rounds highlights the locked target (if in line of sight) and grants +1 to hit rolls against in, and +1 to save DC for spells cast on target

Zoom - Retains the Eyes of the Eagle goggles' ability to zoom sight for long distances

Active (6 charges, regains 1d6 charges every 24 hours):

0 charges : Clear Target Lock - Revert target lock to the simple nickel ring

1 charge : Target Lock - The Goggles either Lifeline Tether target living creature, or else they Temporal Marker target inanimate object

2 charges : Scan Intent - Wearer gains Advantage on next attack roll, or imposes Disadvantage to next incoming attack roll, for 1 round
