Learn as you play is probably one of the hardest styles of TTRPG/board game rules to write and test, but damn does it feel nice when someone gets it right.

This volatile looking glass vial is filled with a writhing and squirming red substance tinged with green and black rot that seems to be in a constant state of motion. An attempt has been made to keep this vial sealed shut with a length of rope that has been wrapped around it, securing the cork in place. A slight scent of iron and putrid flesh seeps from it at all times.

This rough and tumble looking seagull is actually a doll that has been enchanted with a semblance of life by a seemingly competent thief. It has deep knowledge of the underworld, but is also extremely selfish, brutish, arrogant, and crude. It refuses to help those it dubs a “do-gooder” until it sees that you are willing to bend or break the law.
While invested in this item, you gain a +1 item bonus to Thievery checks made to perform illegal activities such as Stealing something or Picking a Lock.
Activate - Mine Mine Mine [2] concentration; Frequency Twice per day; Effect The seagull casts distracting chatter (DC 20) on one creature within range.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pb7cm7pnmngs2wlas6ug5jqf/bafkreifmqskwxmc64ixpauixrjleugzdr4l5oo7tm4ke4eyabyr44xvqgq)
