This quarterstaff has the appearance of a normal,
dark-colored wood staff, with a simple crescent moon over the horizon
carved near its top.
This weapon was created by Fharlanghn, the Dweller
on the Horizon. While wandering once, he decided to make a trial
of the character of mortals. Approaching the doors of several wealthy
merchants, he was turned away because of his appearance of an elderly
vagrant. Finally, he knocked at the ramshackle cottage of Philemon,
the apprentice to the towns bard. The aspiring musician welcomed
the god into his house, offering the best food he could spare and
his bed for the night. As he was leaving the house the next morning,
he presented his host with this staff, promising that, as payment
for his hospitality, he would never lack shelter during all his
days of wandering. With that, the aged traveler suddenly transformed
himself into a raven and flew away. Philemon grew to be a very skilled
bard, and traveled throughout the land adventuring, always carrying
his magic staff.
Abilities: When used in battle, it hits as a +2 weapon
(d6+2 damage). It is an especial boon to the traveling adventurer,
however, for once a day it can cast Leomunds Secure
Shelter as a 5th level caster (creates a 20' square stone
or similar material -- furnished cottage which lasts for
10 hours).
