# The Ten Artifacts

All artifacts are six-foot-tall staves, each topped with a different symbol.
Each is magically enchanted to inconvenience the bearer in a different way.

## Staff of the Songbird

*Symbol: a perched songbird.*

The staff chirps loudly and constantly, attracting attention from
everyone in the vicinity.  Stealth is impossible while carrying this
staff.

## Staff of Levitation

*Symbol: a floating feather.*

The bearer hovers a few feet off the ground and cannot control their
movement through the air.  They will probably need to be dragged
around by their teammates.

## Staff of the Beacon

*Symbol: a blazing sun.*

The staff emits a brilliant column of light visible from anywhere in
the arena.  There is no hiding with this one.

## Staff of Frost

*Symbol: a snowflake.*

The bearer's hands freeze to the staff and they shiver uncontrollably,
imposing disadvantage on DEX saves and attack rolls.  On the bright
side, you can't be forced to drop it.

## Staff of the Lodestone

*Symbol: a horseshoe magnet.*

The staff is powerfully magnetic.  Metal weapons, armor, and shields
within 10 feet are pulled toward it.  Allies in metal armor have
trouble staying away from the carrier.

## Staff of Honesty

*Symbol: an open eye.*

The bearer cannot lie, whisper, or use nonverbal signals.  Everything
they say comes out at full volume and must be truthful.  No secret
plans while carrying this staff.

## Staff of Tangling

*Symbol: a twisted vine.*

Roots and vines constantly sprout from the base of the staff, making
the ground around the bearer difficult terrain for everyone, including
allies.

## Staff of Shrinking

*Symbol: a tiny figure.*

The bearer shrinks to 2 feet tall, but the staff remains full size.
A tiny person dragging an enormous staff.

## Staff of Stench

*Symbol: a skunk.*

The staff emits an overwhelming smell.  Anyone within 10 feet must
make a CON save each round or be nauseated (disadvantage on attacks).
This affects allies too.

## Staff of Laughter

*Symbol: a grinning jester.*

The bearer and everyone within 15 feet must save against uncontrollable
laughter each round.  Failed saves waste your action.  The perfect
counter to a well-organized team.
