The Minish Cap: The Octavo is restless

 The Octavo is restless



A Hyrulean Beastiary: This is one of three overdue library books Link must find and return to the Royal Hyrule Library. Link needs to return these books to gain access to the second floor of the library, where a retired Minish adventurer lives who knows the secrets of entering the Temple of Droplets. Link can find this book in the home of a Hyrule Town cat owner, who borrowed the book to learn more about her new pet.

The Octavo, the eight great spells of the Disc. Actually, it is currently the seven great spells of the Disc, as one has been missing for quite a few years. Speaking all eight spells is supposed to grant the power to create or destroy worlds, but no one we asked had actually tried to cast all eight.

----------

I have not read deeply of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld, but I have really enjoyed most of the few books that I have read and all of the mini-series I have watched.

The Hogfather is a must if you haven’t read or watched it yet.

The Minish Cap: That’s like, a giant shroom man

That’s like, a giant shroom man

Wake-up Mushroom: This variety of mushroom is known for its foul smell that is supposedly strong enough to wake the dead. Link can buy these mushrooms from Syrup, Witch of the Castor Wilds. If Link takes the mushroom to the sleeping cobbler in Hyrule Town, the smell wakes up the shoemaker, and he gives Link the Pegasus Boots as a reward. The cobbler believes he has the uncanny ability to finish shoes in his sleep, but really, the Minish do all his work.

According to local tradition, these rare mushrooms only grow where someone has attained enlightenment. Eating Pilgrims’ Pillow, as the mushroom is known, induces powerful visions and overwhelming sensations of spiritual awareness. Places where Pilgrims’ Pillow is known to grow naturally become destinations for those seeking enlightenment, either through following the path of the masters or by opening the doors of their own perception.

----------

These mushrooms sound almost magical.

Swordtember: Kubikiribōchō

 Kubikiribōchō

Kubikiribōchō: Literally translated, the decapitating carving knife, this is one of the seven legendary swords belonging to the village hidden in the mists. This is also the second most reasonable sword of the bunch, even though it looks like an electric windmill blade instead of a sword used by people.

Swordtember: The Soul Edge

 Swordtember: The Soul Edge

Soul Edge: A lifetime of violence and death birthed this cursed blade and imbued it with a malevolent will that seeks only greater destruction and suffering. If you have the opportunity to take the soul edge because you just beat its owner, don’t, it’s obviously evil and will probably ruin your life and most of the lives around you.

Swordtember: Orc Raider siege falchion

 Orc Raider siege falchion

Siege Falchion: These massive, thick-bladed swords are an ungainly combination of a lance, an axe, and a falchion. Orc worg riders can skewer slow foes with the point of the blade in a charge, or they can use the edge-shaped blade to make short work of wooden structures favored by the exploratory armies invading the Orc steppe.


Finding out Orc raiders did siege damage in Warcraft 3 was fairly disappointing. You’d think a blade longer than a human would make quick work of a footman, but the blade moves too slowly, apparently. Those raiders were great for just wrecking an enemy's expansion base.

The Minish Cap: Possibly arcane beans

 Possibly arcane beans


Spare Key: The owner of Lon Lon ranch lost his key to the front door, but he of course has a spare key for just this situation. Unfortunately, they keep the spare key in the locked house and therefore cannot get their key to get into the house. Link must shrink down to Minish size and then enter the ranch house and rescue the ill-placed spare key. Returning the key to the ranch owner secures Link a passage to lake Hylia and opens up milk sales in the city.

We got beans for sale! Big barrel of beans bursting with benefits! Some of these beans are magic, some of these beans are drought-resistant, some of these beans are heirloom quality. Come, trade for a scoop of beans, and find out what fate has in store for you.

----------

Free idea for a ridiculous vendor: A magic bean peddler that is unenthusiastically part of a magic beans multi-level marketing scheme. They try to sell you magic beans, but forgot what each of the magic beans do. After a few purchases, if they ever make a sale, they are visibly dominated by the spirit of the bean-selling scheme and make a hollow and lifeless plea for you to join their up-and-coming opportunity in selling beans.

This is actually the sort of stuff that makes it into my games. Which is why I need an item card to represent non-magical beans, just in case my party has bad luck.
