OriginBuilt by Harvo to Sevryn's specifications, session 2

Sevryn’s Egg-Carrier is a humming brass-and-glass contraption built by Harvo to specifications supplied by Sevryn, introduced in session 2 [1] as the carry-rig for The Egg. Its purpose is to dampen the egg’s vibrations and keep it stable in transit; the rig has no offensive or defensive properties of its own and was never the subject of an Identify cast. It travelled with the party from Wyrmbough Grove in s2 through to Eldwythe in s15, and was lost alongside the egg when an Aurelian chain snared Caelumn’s backpack out of the smoke during the Phil Flowerforge rescue [2].

Overview

Sevryn’s Egg-Carrier is the bespoke holster in which The Egg travelled. Harvo had been instructed off-screen — at some point before session 2 — to build a stabilising contraption for an unspecified magical object; Sevryn supplied the design. Harvo presented the finished article to the original five at the Hollow Hall Tavern briefing in s2, alongside a five-way distribution of role tokens for the Egg Quest [1].

The rig is described in the transcript as a humming brass-and-glass holster that nests the egg in suspension; its exact mechanism is not enumerated. It does not glow, broadcast, or interact with detection magic in any session it appeared. The party never cast Identify on it; it was treated as a piece of mundane carry-gear with a magical purpose but no magical properties of its own.

Recorded use

  • Session 2. Carried into the Corrupted Redwood Grove during the bark-sample mission. Did not feature mechanically.
  • Sessions 3-14. Travelled in the party’s pack rotation, most often in Caelumn’s backpack. Witnessed The Egg’s only essence-absorption event at the close of s3 [3]; after that, nothing further until the egg’s loss.
  • Session 15. Pulled into the smoke during the chain-master ambush outside Eldwythe [2]. The egg was inside it at the time.

Status as of session 16

Lost. Taken by Aurelian forces in s15 alongside the egg it was built to carry. Its exact current location is unknown. The party would need to recover it (or abandon it) when they recover the egg; in either case, since the contraption was Harvo’s work and Harvo is dead (s9), reconstruction would require either Sevryn’s design notes or a comparably skilled artificer.
