Item: Shirt of Slow Jams, magically halves the speeds of any jams–aka jellies, aka Ooze types–within a fifty-foot sphere of the wearer, and halves it again if they get within ten feet.
Encountaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa (ahem) sorry, let me start over
Encounter: Charlie, construct-familiar that enjoys casting Thaumaturgy and Confusion at random moments; also, screams a lot. Favorite food: expired candy
Encounter: G.G. Allin, orc biker-cleric of Gruumsh. I was gonna say he was human but then I noticed that what I had thought was a weird mustache is actually his tusks, thinly disguised to go among humans and spread the word.
Item: Overalls of the Shark, allows the wearer to administer a horrific bite attack while grappling an enemy. Also includes roomy pockets, which is nice. Once per day the overalls must be fed a ration of meat or else they will start snapping at nearby creatures.
As a demonstration of industrial machine tech from ABB Robotics, two robot arms engage in a samurai-esque katana duel. As Lauren Davis writes at io9, “If the robot uprising happens, at least we’ll be able to admire their precise swordplay ballet before they run us through.” (Speaking of io9, I must tip my hat to them for inspiring the gif.)
