Description

This small pocket watch has a grey color with a bluish sheen that never dulls, but is otherwise plain and unremarkable except for one other feature. The hands on the watch each resemble a thin halfling silhouette: one standing, the other running and both of them pointing towards the number Twelve on the watch. The hands do not move except for when its powers are in use.

Lore

The creation of this pocket watch was commissioned by one of the wealthiest explorers in the world, known for being terribly unskilled at combat, yet somehow always surviving the most dangerous of adventures. After his death (presumably of natural causes) the watch went missing, and since then its use has been noticed by many powerful arcane factions that search for the item and the secrets of its construction. Sadly, the user(s) of these rare objects always seem to be one step ahead of their pursuers.
