This thread begins with Infernius pushing random buttons on an already random object of ridiculous power.

Welcome to the next page of the thread series that everyone knows about but no one mentions cuz autism.
Its a role-playing thread, welcoming involved/random shitposting in addition to participation.

There's plenty of material if you wanna get a glimpse, otherwise I'll get back to it.

The first effect that is discharged by the rod is a ridiculously compressed stream of air, blowing back everyone around Infernius.
The second effect is that Infernius himself becomes invisible.
The third effect is someone adjacent to infernius is hit by Flesh to Stone.
The fourth effect is that Enlarge Size is cast on the statue-character..
The fifth effect is the rod summons a mouse.

Players should roll a d100

Well, to actually use the rod would require stealing it from Infetnius which opens a shit load of possible issues I'd rather avoid. I made a what-if roll to see what would happen if I did have it, however. In this case, it would have grown a field of grass

You want to know if Tracy can stop people and then frisk them, so she can then steal from them.
A spot check would work for anything visible, and some concealed stuff (weapons, for example), but wouldn't work to detect other things.

Armor that has flame motifs signifies armor that provides fire resistance (to a degree) to its wearer. I don't know about rings, but my best bet is that the guy who is made out of cloth and who surrounded himself with gunpowder dust wanted some measure of protection against fire damage.

I'm open to trade, it's just that every character already is using all of their ring slots. Did you remember the ring of protection? That gives +3 or something to AC. Tracy also has one, she just prefers to wear a ring of animal friendship instead. Because you know, the odds of being engaged in Melee combat in a dungeon is much lower than needing to raise animals

"The TRUE power of a Rod of Wonder is when you have all the buttons pressed and marked, but you "keep pushing unmarked buttons". Technically, there are unlimited functions on them, and marking each button forces the GM to come up with new properties," Thez says, eyeballing it. "This one doesn't seem to have any marks."
