Item

Lifestem Satchel

This enchanted satchel is crafted from deep cobalt leather adorned with thorny vines that shimmer with arcane energy. When worn into battle, the satchel captures the battle cries and shouts of courage from nearby combatants, channeling them into small crystalline vials that materialize within its seemingly bottomless interior. Each vial contains concentrated essence of valor and determination, which can be uncorked and consumed as a bonus action to grant the drinker temporary courage and resolve. The satchel can hold up to ten vials at any time, and new shouts can only be captured during moments of genuine combat and heroic action. The Thornward Collective, an ancient guild of enchanters and battle-mages, has long guarded the secrets of creating and maintaining these remarkable items. They jealously protect the knowledge of the Lifestem Satchel, distributing only a handful to worthy adventurers and trusted allies. Drinking from one of the captured vials grants advantage on saving throws against being frightened for 1 hour, and bolsters the drinker's resolve in the face of overwhelming odds. The thorny vines covering the satchel glow softly when courage has been successfully captured, serving as a visible reminder of past triumphs.
