Gaining Entrance

Statue

Handout to Calum
Read this in its entirety, then ham it up. Spotlight’s on you.
The statue is not a statue, as you can clearly see. It’s a Thassilonian-magic-preserved mummified body of one of the Runelord of Greed’s inner court members.
Your mind fogs and you are filled with the rage of a thousand demon-toddlers who were told, “No.”
How dare he?
The treaty declared that the Storval Deep was to be the boundary between your empires.
You pooled your powers to summon the great beasts into its depths to patrol the borders.
And this – this war manufacturing outpost – is on YOUR side of the boundary. HIS envoy in YOUR Empire.
The ranseur now acts as a staff. It can cast Shatter and Heat Metal (both spells) at will (ie, no restriction on how often), using your caster level. When using one of these, there’s a discernable “streak of purple fire” and “short, high-pitched sonic boom” from the ranseur to the target.
Oh, and to go with it, you have to break something every week. It doesn’t matter if it’s pottery or faces… But at least once a week you have to go full-on temper-tantrum and destroy something wholly. If you do not, you suffer the ill effects as a failed geas (not lesser geas) with no save until you make up all missed fits, and an extra one for good measure.
Geas
If the subject is prevented from obeying the geas/quest for 24 hours, it takes a –3 penalty to each of its ability scores. Each day, another –3 penalty accumulates, up to a total of –12. No ability score can be reduced to less than 1 by this effect. The ability score penalties are removed 24 hours after the subject resumes obeying the geas/quest.
