Chayl's Transporter

Physical Description

This ring is fashioned from intricately braided silver wires in beautiful interlocking patterns. The ring is large, but will adjust itself automatically to fit the finger of a new owner.

History

This ring was created by the House Wizard Chayl of the Aukarian House Ibarchus. It was created for the master of that House at that time, a tremendously fat man that detested physical labor, even the effort of climbing stairs and walking. He used the ring to teleport to move about his home, typically from balcony to ground level and back. The method of the ring's creation as well as the reasons for its creation are lost to history. Due to its very nature, the ring has traveled all about the continent of Aggradar and beyond.

Enchantment

This ring allows the user to teleport, simply by willing it. It has the following limitations:

1. The teleportation functions only four times per day.
2. Teleportation is line of sight only. You must be able to see your destination.
3. Maximum range is 100 meters.
4. Maximum capacity is 500 kilograms.
5. The ring can not teleport through heavy metals or dense stone. A portcullis would not pose a problem, but a thick iron door with a small window in it might. Even though the wearer could see the destination through the small window, the heavy iron door might interfere with the transmission of energy enough to prevent the teleport. (DM's discretion).
6. The ring will not function during Drellis (negative) stellar phase.
7. This ring will function at double power if taken deep underground (deeper than 1000 feet). Range and weight capacity are both doubled, but it is still limited to 4 times per day.

Notes

This ring has a flaw in its enchantment and is sensitive to magical energy in the environment. If subjected to intense magical energy (such as being brought within the area of effect of a powerful spell or near a strong magical field or item), the ring may spontaneously teleport by itself, leaving the finger of its possessor. Such spontaneous teleportations are still limited to 200 yards. On occasion, it will take the wearer with it during these spontaneous discharges.
