Kraken Mine

Wondrous item, rare

Components: monstrosity (kraken) ink sac

As a kraken ages, its potent ink becomes thicker and even more noxious, but few are the souls that dare face one of these monstrous titans in its prime. For that reason, these explosives are often crafted from the ink of juvenile krakens—still a perilous endeavour in its own right.

Inkstaintaneous Blast. As an action, you can light the fuse on this bomb and toss it up to 30 feet away, causing it to detonate in a 15-foot-radius explosion. Each creature in the area must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or be covered in ink and blinded for 1 minute. A creature covered in ink can’t benefit from being invisible. A creature blinded by this effect can make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the blinded condition on itself on a success.

Delayed Inksplosion. Alternatively, you can use an action to set this bomb down and specify a special trigger for its detonation. This can be a visual trigger that occurs within 15 feet of the bomb, such as a visible creature moving into that range, or a special command word spoken by a creature as a bonus action while within 30 feet of the bomb. When the conditions for the trigger are met, the bomb explodes as per the Inksplosion property.

---------------------------------------

Very rare variant: Increase the size of the explosion to a 20-foot radius. A creature blinded by the bomb takes 1d8 poison damage at the start of each of its turns.

Legendary variant: Increase the size of the explosion to a 30-foot radius. A creature blinded by the bomb takes 3d8 poison damage at the start of each of its turns.
