Wichtingourds

Wichingourds are small gourds filled with seeds that mature in early fall. They grow throughout Blasingmark's forests, and the locals believe that they also appear where they fay have been. Common folk turn the wichtingourds to practical purposes. They dry them out and use them as rattles. They also believe that the rattles can offer protection from fay; if a gourd is broken open and its seeds scattered, say the legends, any fay who comes upon them must stop and count all the seeds.

Use

When dried and used as rattles, the mild magic inherent to wichtingourds calms living beings to the point where they may fall asleep. Anyone, if not in a high stress situation, including the user, within a 5-foot radius of a rattling wichtingourd must make a Will save at +50% or be fatigued, or, if already fatigued to fall asleep. Also, if a gourd is broken open and its seeds spilled in a 10-foot line or 5-foot radius circle, any outsiders or fey must make a Will save at +30% or stop to pick up and count the seeds for 1 round. Damage breaks the effect.
