[magic item] Sling of the Twilight Priestesses

Sling of the Twilight Priestesses

This is the missile weapon of choice of Twilight Priestesses and sought after by many mages and some scoundrels. The sling transforms normal stones into magical missiles.
On a succesful hit the player rolls 1d6 with the following effects:
1-4: Target suffers 1d4 subdual damage.
5: Target suffers 1d4 subdual damage, and must save vs. paralyzation or is  stunned (is +4 to hit, and at -4 on all ability rolls etc.) for 1d3 rounds.
6: Target is instantly knocked unconscious for 1d3 rounds.

It is useless against creatures immune to normal weapons.

So-called Twilight Priestesses are a relatively young order following a nameless cult leader, who is rarely seen, and wears a mask on all occasions. The cult followers adhere to some code of non-violence which, as rumors confirm, seems to be rather losely interpretated by some. Nevertheless, they use these magic slings that do not harm their targets seriously. Funny though, that so many of their left-behind unconscious enemies are never ever seen again ...

[magic item] Cruel Blade of Wrath (fire blade)

Cruel Blade of Wrath

A heavy-bladed falchion with a hand and a half hilt. The blade is of earth-brown color engraved with symbols of magic. Its handle made of wood, and wrapped with leather, features a pommel shaped like a round head with two fierce eyes set with white stones. The short cross-guard flames like hot embers when engaged in combat.

This is a fire blade dealing +1 damage against normal creatures, and +3 damage against creatures vulnerable to fire.
It does not provide an attack bonus but counts as a magical weapon against creatures immune to normal weapons.

It grants resistance to normal cold (snow, winter), and a +3 saving throw bonus vs. cold attacks. Being a fire blade it also grants immunity to fire, and can upon command, or by its own will shed fire light equal to a torch, and ignite normal flammable materials. Other powers are not known.

The blade is kept in a simple leather scabbard.

This is a INT 4 weapon able to communicate with its owner by telepathy.
