ITEM: Marut Scrap Metal (1d8) DC: 15

When a marut is destroyed, what remains is usually a husk of fused metal, onyx and mechanical components. However, it is often possible to find a few pieces of salvageable, magically infused scrap metal. The metal can be used to craft pieces of armor.

When harvested, the creature yields 1d8 pieces of useable scrap metal. To craft a set of medium armor, a smith requires 4 pieces of marut scrap metal. A set of heavy armor requires 6 pieces.

ITEM: Marut Components DC: 20

Inside a Marut is a collection of complex robotic components, include wires, sensors, circuit boards and magical batteries. All of these components fetch a high price in gnomish communities and with skilled artificers.

DC: 20

ITEM: Marut Gold Plate DC: 20

Inside of each marut is a thin golden plate, with various geometric symbols etched on its surface (if the plate survives the constructs destruction). The symbols are the modron language, and outline a contract with instructions for the Marut, which the creature would follow to the letter. The plate is valued for the gold, but is also valued for its contents. If the holder of the plate fulfills the Marut's instructions, a high price can be collected from the Kolyarut (the modron that write the contract), in the Hall of Concordance, in Sigil. Or, if the gold plate is given to the party that broke the contract, it may be possible to collect an award for destroying the Marut.

Most crafting items have an acronym associated with it, such as "DMG". These acronyms refer to specific guide books. For example, "DMG" refers to the "Dungeon Master's Guide". The acronyms for HHH and HHH2 refer to Hamund's Harvesting Handbook, a homebrew harvesting guide that offers a variety of homebrew (not official) magic items.
