Helm of Unsurvivable Knowledge
Wondrous Item / Helm
Mechanics
As an action, a creature wearing the helm may open its mind to the knowledge inside. The creature makes a DC 15 Intelligence saving throw. On a success, it may ask the DM one question about cosmology, planar truth, divine structure, ancient history, or the true nature of a creature, location, or object; the DM answers truthfully but cryptically. The creature also gains advantage on its next Intelligence check made within 1 hour. On a failure, the creature takes 6d8 psychic damage and is stunned until the end of its next turn. On a failure by 10 or more, the creature instead drops to 0 hit points and gains one level of exhaustion. Once a creature uses the helm, it cannot use it again until 7 days have passed.

Advantage / Addison Obelpraf
Addison Obelpraf, known as Advantage, is an elf astrologian scholar of Luxidran’s Wisdom Division. Her Witchborn gift bends probability into brief “advantage windows,” guiding crucial moments toward the most favorable outcome. Once limited to herself, her power now extends to nearby allies through discipline, calculation, and restraint. Loyal to lawful magical practice, Addison believes power should be trained, measured, and held accountable. In battle or crisis, she does not rewrite fate; she finds the narrow path where success is most likely.
characterC.C. The Blade / Valara Cirio
Valara Cirio is known to Gravenhurst as The Blade, guildmaster of the Thieves Guild and a quiet protector of mutates displaced by Dr. Krane’s experiments. Under the alias C.C., she moves through the city as an independent broker of secrets, gathering intelligence while keeping her true strategy buried beneath layers of rumor. Her altered senses can detect Krane-touched mutation nearby, making her both hunter and shield. Few know C.C. and The Blade are the same woman; fewer survive misusing that knowledge.
characterD.C. / Donnie Cello Lawman
D.C. Lawman has spent enough years in Stormcall investigations to know the difference between a mistake, a pattern, and a cover-up. A veteran detective tied to The Lawful and the city itself, he works with quiet authority, patient deduction, and a talent for making suspects underestimate him. His current inquiries reach beyond ordinary crime into institutional irregularities inside The Lawful’s own structure. In a city built on order, Lawman may be the one asking whether order has begun protecting itself instead of the truth.
