Now, now. I don't know why you worry so much. They actually are everywhere, but that's no cause for paranoid alarm.

Category: One-use item
Professor Strix's private tincture of vigour
Drinking it looked like a good idea, until that awful stench started to leak out of the bottle. Now, you are not that sure.
Effects upon drinking:
If you are Professor Strix herself and has literally no other item or action to rely on:
Your wounds have improved in an incrediple speed, but disgust and grief over why this drink is so effective on you will make you awake at night.
Wounds is dropping... (-5cp)
Nightmares is increasing... (+3cp)
If you stole the thing from the Professor and/or has poor decision-making skills:
Not only it did not have any effect on your wounds, but now you are nauseated and a rusty after taste lingers in your mouth. Wait. Oh no...
Wounds is increasing... (+1cp)
Nightmares is increasing (+3cp)

The Imperfect Mirror
Home Comfort
The person in the reflection is not quite you; their features are all wrong, and they have too many teeth. They rarely deign to match your movements, content to stare at you with their eerie goat-eyes. It took you weeks to notice the flaw in the frame that the salesman was talking about.
+1 Respectable, +1 Dreaded, +1 Bizarre
Mother's Milk
Consumable
It's not milk, and you hope the thing that secretes it has never reproduced.
Upon Consumption:
You scream and writhe. Your body curls in upon itself. Your eyes sizzle. Wax bubbles up from your wounds and runs in seething rivulets down your skin. You awake in your bed. You feel too hale and hearty for the blood on your arms and chin to be yours.
-3 Wounds, +1 Nightmares, +1 Suspicion
You've gained x1 Tale of Terror!!
Lockpad's Hands
Weapon
You'll never know what really happened to the urchin Lockpad, but you've got those curious knuckledusters of his. Each metal piece is a lock from a different door, and it's the very devil to put your fingers through some of the holes. It makes bl--dy interesting marks in other folks. Nobody ever seems to notice you're wearing them until after they've already been struck.
+8 Dangerous, +8 Shadowy
Sewnmouth Zee-Bat
Companion
You don't know how it eats, much less how it's still alive. Supposedly its mouth had to be stitched shut because the whole Zee might spill out of it otherwise. You aren't inclined to risk testing this claim. Sometimes you catch it staring at you with anticipation in its eyes.
+1 Bizarre, +4 Shadowy
Drownie-Hide Gloves
Gloves
Who in the Neath would be so mad as to try and skin a Drownie? Why would they use that skin make gloves, of all things, if they did? And if these aren't the genuine article, why do you feel them writhe against your skin whenever you're near the Zee?
+2 Bizarre,
The Last Will and Testament of Robert A. Buoy
Curiosity
The very last words ever put to paper by the most harried and obedient manservant ever to dwell in the Neath. Running your fingers over the paper fills you with hope that he's doing well, wherever he is.

Just thought that our dear Solicitor needs separate descriptions for their... unique wardrobe.
A Great Many Floors of Top Hat (Hat)
+10 Watchful +10 Persuasive +1 Respectable +1 Nightmares -2 Shadowy -2 Dangerous
What a marvel! One of the royal line! Normal top hats bow down to it's empyrean magnificence, it's twining gold of stairways upon the onyx backdrop. It also folds when you need to walk into a building that obscures the grand head-topper.
Streets of a Different London at Midnight (Clothing)
+10 Watchful +7 Shadowy +2 Bizarre -5 Persuasive
This might have once been considered a dress. Now, though, it is a work of art! A display of what shall never be, or what never should be. Either way, conversation proves challenging when most of your body is a cold alleyway.
Fluttering Embers Upon Your Appendages (Gloves)
+8 Watchful +7 Dangerous +1 Dreaded +1 Nightmares -2 Persuasive -3 Shadowy
Your hands are on fire! Better yet, the flames sting only others. While a great conversation starter, you probably shouldn't shake hands or hold anything valuable.
The Definitive Duo of Wearable Serpents (Boots)
+9 Shadowy +5 Watchful +1 Bizarre +1 Nightmares -1 Dangerous -2 Persuasive
'Wear Serpents', they said. You, of course, did just that. Thankfully, they prove willing to share any secrets they observe from their unique position. Sadly, these 'secrets' include snide remarks about one's underwear.
'The Flashlight Mechanism' (Weapon)
+10 Watchful +10 Dangerous +2 Dreaded -5 Shadowy +1 Wounds
A one-of-a-kind attempt at producing concentrated lines of light in the Neath. Both evaporating thy enemies and illuminating thy surroundings, what else could one wish for? Not having to carry so many a box of sunlight, or that the constant scalding glow would seize.
