Chuckling gleefully, the shopkeeper scrawls out a quick contract, stamping it with both Abadar's Key and Asmodeus' star to mark it as binding in all planes, and leaves it for you to sign before disappearing back into the store-room to obtain your money and the promised talisman... and from there, it's a whirl of handshakes and congratulations to you on your "great purchase."<br/><br/>Once you're on the road- no need to sprint the whole way there- you get a chance to take a good look at the talisman. As far as you can tell, it's a piece of birch bark that has been made into a makeshift scroll, with sylvan words engraved in green on the smooth side.<br/><br/><<em>"In day, the Heartwood Tree's majesty is beyond compare... but when night falls, the moonflower takes man's breath away."</em>><br/><br/>Just by looking at it, you get the feeling that it's meant to wrap around your body, rather than be worn or invoked... the scroll is warped and curved, and seems like it would wrap around one of your calves quite well...
