Merlin says:
Darazen makes his way over to the pile of gear collected by Khoren and begins to examine it. And takes an action to heal.
(2nd roll was using Scan ability, if that wasn't clear)
Scanning, you find 6 prod sticks. A level 2 hand held device, these sticks produce a spark of electricity at their tip and do 1 or 4 levels of speed damage, depending on the power setting.
There are 3 complete artifacts. You know that these can scan and soften earth, and that the sonic damage they do is 4 damage to intellect, plus stun). Each unit has less than half a charge left on their power cell (four uses, sonic attack....2 uses soften earth). The others have fallen to the ground and no longer function, only 2 power sources are salvageable, one has a quarter charge and another is nearly drained).
You also find 62 shins, 4 cyphers and one oddity.
The
oddity is a jar of putty that hardens after being exposed to air for one hour, but softens again if touched.
Camouflage Spray
Level: 2
Usable: Canister
Effect: An inanimate object (or group of objects) small enough to fit into a cube that is 10 feet by 10 feet by 10 feet (3 m by 3 m by 3 m) can be quickly coated so that its color and texture blend into its surroundings perfectly.
You seen this in use before
Water Weapon
Level: 3
Wearable: Wrist-mounted device
Usable: Handheld device
Effect: Fires a bolt of energy through water at a target within long range, inflicting damage equal to the cypher level. The energy must have water to conduct it or the device will not function, so both weapon and target must be at least partially submerged.
A colleague from a a previous caravan spoke of this and showed you an entry in his book. You copied the entry.
Detonation device (effect unknown)
Level: 4
Usable: Ceramic sphere (thrown, short range)
This one is beyond you. You know that it's level and it looks like devices you have seen before, but without breaking the sphere, you don't know and don't want to chance it. You think someone trained in Numenera might be able to help.
Unknown
Level: 7
Usable: Small metal and synth plate
This one escapes you. You know it is a high level device and is a construct of metal and metal synth, but its function is completely foreign. You read a power source, but it appears to be in some state of flux.
