Boots of Hermes

Rating: 2

A set of exquisite brown leather booths, coming up to the heels. They carry no embroidery, no decorations, only style. They are sleek, having an aura of speed about them. Their dead giveaway however is a pair of silver wings firmly attached to the sides of each shoe. These are boots made in the image of Hermes. Whoever wears the shoes is aided in their sneakery.

If a cat can stand on it, so can you. Wearing these boots you can stand on a clothesline, or on a fence without damaging it.

Glasses of Androkles

Rating: 1

Two transparent green stones adorn a silver frame. The glasses give a green vision that was thought to be healthy for eyesight in the ancient days. When you use them as a seer you can see outlines of people through walls, such as those of a spa, but not through thick walls such as those of a castle.

As a kindred, this can be used by seeing aura's where before you could not. The outlines of the aura also tell you something about the shape behind them. You can't make out fine details such as jewellery but you can make out height and build and infer details such as their gender.

History: A set of lenses was originally created by the lone philosopher Androkles. He used this for dubious purposes for several years before word of his invention became more widespread, at which point he was soon stabbed and the lenses passed through various thieves and generals until they were eventually put in a frame and ended up in the treasure.

Cleopatras carpet

Rating: 2

This large, person sided, egyptian carpet is embroidered with a tale of brother and sister locked in a civil war, commanding armies against each other in various battles, set against a sandy background. Through various scenes a war is fought, no conclusions are shown only the results of the strife in dead soldiers as the siblings stare off. Set entirely in the egyptian side-on perspective.

You can roll any person or body into the carpet and they will be completely hidden inside the folds. The carpet can hold up to 3 people. The carpet can be carried by 1 person, even if there's a person inside it. Anyone inside the carpet is perfectly hidden from outsiders. Insiders cannot see out, and they can only hear muffled sounds. Perception rolls for sound are made at +2 difficulty.

The known way to bring people out of the carpet is to hold a ritual involving several specific motions in a dance and some chanting that ends with speaking the persian word for release as the carpet is unrolled. You cannot pick specific people to unroll, it is everyone or no one.

People in the carpet can break free using a difficulty 9 willpower roll, though if this is used afterwards the carpet will need repairs.

An intruder who enters the protected chamber whilst the ankh is active is cursed with a compulsion to run out of the building and jump in a body of water. If they overcome this compulsion they will find themselves unable to lift the body of the deceased out of the room, or to desecrate it.
