Since I gave Nibani Maesa, the Wise Woman of Urshilaku Camp, the Lost Prophesies, she told me to wait for further advice from her. So, like I did in my last run at the game, I decided to do the Bloodmoon expansion quests. And, surprisingly, I've been doing pretty well. Although the Bristleback boar things are annoying, I've managed to get to the last Gifts of the Stone quest, the Water Stone. Along the way, I've located (with a little help from gamefaqs.com...) a stash of awesome stuff that you guys should know about.
Shadowsting: An ebony longsword, that does a great ammount of normal damage, and 5 poison damage for twenty seconds. The wierd thing: it Chameleons 200-100%; what makes it wierd, is that the Chameleon doesn't affect you, it affects your enemies. Odd, huh?
Five, count them, five Ebony Arrows. What makes them special, is the fact that they Damage Health 5,000 points. Yes, that is correct: each one does 5,000 damage. Just let that fact sink in for a minute...
Two Gloves that add 20 to sneak, and 20 to security skills, respectively. Awesome.
Ring of Raven Eye: Fortifies Marksman skill twenty points, and provides twenty points of Night-Eye, constant effect. And yes, I'm currently using it. Those damn Stones are hard to find at night...
Where did I find all of this fabulous stuff? Right up against the Thirsk Mead Hall, there is a hollow tree stump. Inside, you'll find all that I have mentioned, including a Blood-Stained Note, which says:
S,
Here is the equipment I told you about.
Remember, the weak deserve no mercy.

Cryptic, huh?
