(trinket, common, 100 gp)

This is an old iron key of elvish design.

Once per day, Himo's House Key provides advantage on a sleight of hand or thieves tools' check to open a lock.

History:

  • When Himo of Astera was just a toddler, the forest settlement where he was born was raided and destroyed - whether by orcs, humans, or something fouler, he never learned.
  • The only memory that remains is the feel of his mother's fingers slipping from his as she placed an iron key in his hand and pushed him into a hollow log, whispering one last word: "Run."
  • Himo has been using Himo's House Key ever since to open barriers and, just maybe, lead him to a new place to call home.

    Design Notes:
