Triptych of Travel[edit]

Triptych of Travel

This artistic triptych is about the size of a large book, with darkwood backing and stretched and unusually durable canvas on the inside. At the bottom of the center image is a small brush connected on a line. With a wave of the brush you can erase the scenes depicted or draw new ones. Once finished your art takes a frighteningly photorealistic appearance. Its so real you could almost touch it.

A creature can use the attached brush to paint a scene on any blank canvas of this triptych with the correct color paint and thickness consistently emitting from the brush every time its used. With this ability, if the creature paints a sufficiently detailed image of their surroundings (a DC 20 Craft Art, Craft Painting, or similar check) the resulting painting will look photorealistic and the place will be marked. At any point later the creature can place their hand on the appropriate landscape and use greater teleport to that location. Using the image turns the image gray, washed out, and unable to be used for the rest of the day. As a result the creature can teleport up to three times a day, each to a different image each time. As a standard action the creature may erase the contents of an image and start fresh using the brush.

Teleporting via the triptych of travel is slow and flashy, taking 1 round to depart, 1 round of transit, and 1 round re-appearing so it is a poor choice for ambushes. The triptych of travel cannot account for changes to the environment since it was last painted, but if you teleport to a location the image automatically updates with the latest viewpoint.

Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, greater teleport, must have 5 ranks in Craft Art or similar.
Cost to Create: 20,000 gp, 1600 EXP, 40 days.
