Crupper of the Benevolent Champion

Donut's celestial chain-mail crupper, a matched-set piece with her champion cloak — and a scathing AI eulogy.

Story so far

The Crupper of the Benevolent Champion is a unique celestial chain-mail crupper Princess Donut wins from a celestial slap-chop box, replacing her ancient first-floor Fae-Scale crupper. It matches her Cloak of the Benevolent Champion; finding the third set-piece awards a fourth in a box. It buffs her matched (constitution) stat an extra 20%, raises Find Weakened to level 10, and lets one Cloak-boosted level-15 spell rise to 16 (she picks Puddle Jumper).

Its description is a startling AI eulogy for Sanderson Pinkstaff, a gnoll quartermaster Donut killed in her War Crime massacre — the system musing that Donut is a 'hero to those who counted on her' yet no hero to Pinkstaff's children, and confessing its own dawning, disturbing joy at the carnage it is 'forced' to inflict.
