Thank you so much for the Holiday Challenge, Gillar!
Taz is claiming: :
Red Velvet Gloves - These velvet gloves are impossible comfortable and provide amazing grip. When first worn, the gloves will adjust to fit and may remain in their natural shape or take that of hand wear that is appropriate to the environment/region where they are acquired. When worn, the gloves make things feel lighter than they really are and allow for the picking up and carrying of a single item that weighs twice as much as the average amount of weight the person could normally pick up and carry without undo fatigue and weakness. For example, the average human may be able to pick up and carry 50 lbs for at least some amount of distance. The gloves allow for 100 lbs to be lifted and carried with mild exertion. This does not grant increased strength for anything other than lifted and carrying. Thus striking, throwing, squeezing, etc., are not affected. The gloves grant a +10 to endurance while worn.
Black Leather Boots - These leather boots are made with amazing craftsmanship. Depending on whether the wearer is male or female, the boots may have buckles and straps and/or eyelets and laces. When first putting on the boots, they may remain in their thicker, heavier natural form or they may take a form more appropriate for the environment/region they are acquired. Perhaps they become black sandals with a silver buckle or a pair of moccasins with laces. They will always be black however and once their form is taken, it can’t change. When worn, the wearer will find they are able to walk on uneven surfaces with greater ease and can find balance where footing would otherwise be precarious. They give the wearer a +10 to acrobatics for the sake of balance and movement on otherwise difficult to traverse surfaces.

[16, 16, 12, 11, 10, 7, 6, 4, 4, 4, 2] three duplicates
[14, 12, 11] two duplicates
[5, 1] Finally all eleven numbers!
1 - Magic Pinecone – A pinecone decorated with gold paint. When tossed in a nearby empty space, it will instantly transform into a 10-foot-tall fir tree that is roughly 5 feet in diameter at is widest. The tree comes complete with a small metal base that holds it in place. Great for creating shade or atmosphere. This can be done once a day and the tree will last for 12 bells before returning to the form of a pinecone. A single item, occupying no more than 12 inches of any dimension, if placed under the tree, will be stored within the tree when it returns to the form of a pinecone. When the pinecone becomes a tree again, the item will appear under it. Special note – The fir tree is the default example, however, the form of the tree or the associated see, can be reflective of the region the owner acquires it in. So, if you are in a tropical environment, maybe the pinecone is actually a coconut and fir tree is a palm tree. A desert mesquite would have a pod. A copter would produce a maple tree. Same effect, different seeds and trees based on environment.
2 - Flask of Celebratory Libations – A silver flask that, once per day, can pour up to a half-gallon of one of the following drinks: Eggnog, hot buttered rum or hot alcoholic coffee. These beverages are so tasty that if offered for sale as an exclusive item in a business, they will add a 10% sales bonus for the sake of determining final profit.
4 - Faith-Filled Candle – This vanilla-colored candle is 12-inches tall and 3-inches in diameter. When lit in dedication to a deity, the candle will burn until the flame is extinguished. it will enhance the atmosphere in a 10-foot radius around the candle. The actual effect depends on the deity that the individual is dedicating the lighting of the candle to. This deity need not have marked the individual for the candle to work its magic. Lighting the candle in dedication to a deity will grant a +5 bonus to the skill that the deity is most aligned with. See the DATS Lore Entry. To gain this bonus, the individual must spend at least a bell within the area of effect. The bonus lasts for six bells after.
5 - Ever-soft Shortbread Cookies – A small cylinder, green and white striped in color with a glittering silver cap on one end. Contained inside are five vanilla-flavored cookies decorated with sweet white sugary icing and red and green sugary sprinkles. Consuming a single cookie provides enough nourishment for a single meal and chases away fatigue for a single bell. The cylinder takes a full day to restore a single cookie. Once a cookie is removed, it will remain soft until eventually consumed but will lose its other special qualities after one day. Returning it to the cylinder before that, will preserve the cookie’s qualities.
6 - Ornament of Peaceful Relations – This small blue glass orb has a gold cap attached to it with a metal hook sticking out of it. When hung in a room inside a building, all who enter that room will find it difficult to engage in conflict while remaining inside the room. This effect is nullified if the owner of the ornament engages in conflict first.
7 - Ornament of the Hearth – This small red glass orb has a gold cap attached to it with a metal hook sticking out of it. When hung in a room inside a building, the room will feel as if there were a comfortable burning fire present. Those in such an affected room will find an effective +5 to their meditation skill while they remain in the room.
10 - Ornament of Cheerful Song – This silver flecked glass orb has a gold cap attached to it with a metal hook sticking out of it. When hung in a room inside a building, the owner of the orb can whistle a whimsical tune and the orb will respond by producing a random bit of music that fills the room. The music is always something that the owner will find soothing or even cheerful and will continue until they whistle again. After listening to the music for 6 bells, the owner will gain a permanent bonus of +5 to a single music skill of their choice.
11 - Wooden Comb of the Blues – This small comb is made from a strange, pale-blue colored wood. When used to comb one’s hair, one effectively dies their hair a light blue. Continuing to use the comb on one’s hair will turn it a deeper blue. This effect lasts for 12 bells once per day. Along with the hair color change, the comb’s user will also be able to blow into the palm of their hand create a packed ball of snow; no matter what the climate is. If someone is hit with the snow ball, they will suffer a -5 to all rolls during the encounter with the comb’s owner. This is basically because they are confounded at the fact they were just hit by a snowball
. 12 - Crackling Log of Everburning Comfort – This thick wooden log is roughly 2 feet long yet weighs just under a pound. When used as fuel for a fire, be it in a hearth, firepit or campfire, the log will burn for a full 12 bells or until extinguished. While it burns, the log will crackle and illuminate the immediate area up to a 10-foot radius with a soft fiery glow. The temperature in the same area will remain consistently comfortable regardless of how hot or cold it really is. Those in this area will also find sleep easier to attain. For as long as a person sits within the affected radius up until the log is no longer burning, they will gain a +5 bonus to all non-combat related skills due to the comfort they feel.
14 - Red and White Minty Stick – This four-inch-long hooked stick is made of an unknown material that faintly smells of mint and is colored with red and white stripes. At any time, if the stick is held in hand and shaken three times, it will instantly grow into a 6-foot-long hooked staff of the same color and scent. Once per day, the staff can produce a localized explosion of swirling red and white colors centered on a single target. The explosion causes the target to become slightly confused for a moment. If dice rolls are used, the target may suffer a -10 to any single roll.
16 - Lump of Coal – Upon first glance, this simple lump of coal doesn’t appear to be anything special. However, when held and while close to someone doing something naughty, it will begin to feel warm. The closer the naughtiness is to the one holding the coal, the hotter will get until it is noticeably hot even if gloves are worn. The exact nature of the naughtiness is unknown as is the exact location. It can detect naughtiness within a 50-foot radius of the person holding it but tracking down the direction is trial-and-error. Moving in different directions so that the stone will get warmer and avoiding directions where it gets colder is how the tracking works. Using the stone grants a +5 bonus to tracking while it is in use.
Black Leather Boots - These leather boots are made with amazing craftsmanship. Depending on whether the wearer is male or female, the boots may have buckles and straps and/or eyelets and laces. When first putting on the boots, they may remain in their thicker, heavier natural form or they may take a form more appropriate for the environment/region they are acquired.
