Jug of Living Lightning

Provisional pre-impact item study: one sealed jug visibly contains living lightning; the glass, metal bands, handle, glow and staging are artistic interpretations, not an established vessel design; no impact or later recovery is depicted

Kind: Magic item Status: Consumed when thrown at Siegfried in Session 14.

A sealed jug holding what looks like pure lightning, rattling and crackling around inside. It is the power source behind Raif Bright-fin’s storm-summoning Night Song performances. The party burgled Raif’s room and stole the jug (and his eight-foot moss-covered trident, a Triton sea-weapon) to sabotage his final set; without it, Raif’s round-three performance fell flat.

Bodius’s level 5 character sheet lists Jug of Lightning twice, so the working assumption is that this is the same item unless the DM distinguishes a second jug later.

Session 12 clarified that Raif magically reclaimed his trident during the fight, but the jug stayed with the party after Bodius/Moghammer recovered it.

In Session 14, Bodius threw the jug directly into Siegfried after applying Hexblade’s Curse and Hex. The impact released a major burst of living lightning. The DM later confirmed the jug did not survive. As a general table ruling, thrown or used consumables (bombs, thrown water, oil, milk and similar) are assumed destroyed unless the DM says otherwise.
