Gloomspite Gitz – Scrapskuttle’s Arachnacauldron

Scrapskuttle’s Arachnacauldron fumes constantly with sorcerous energies, and a shaman who drinks of its foul fluids feels magical knowledge burn through their brain. Yet this skittering, spider-legged cauldron squeals with obsessive hunger, and there is a price to be paid for the arcane power it bestows. Only when live victims are plunged screaming into the bubbling broth that sloshes around in its iron belly will it impart its gifts. Should one drink deeply from the cauldron without tribute, then the Arachnacauldron will drag the caster into its mouth, absorbing them into its slurried contents along with anyone else close at hand. So the story goes, Scrapskuttle was the eponymous grot shaman responsible for the creation of this entity. So lazy was the mage that he sought to make his cauldron self-sufficient, empowering it with the ability to grab ingredients by itself to keep the brew within bubbling along. However, after one kick too many from its master, the Arachnacauldron swallowed up Scrapskuttle himself. His exceptionally well-cooked remains still simmer within its mystical contents to this day, the shaman’s enchantment clearly having worked a little too well.
