===Chapter 8: Jack's Winter Trail===
Pied Piper of Hamelin's Flute - Can re-animate dead rats to do the bidding of the user. The flute actually comes from the truth of the original legend. There really was a Pied Piper of Hamlin who had a magical flute that could control rats, but the original legend has been watered down to the obscure version many people tell today.
: The original story:
: During the time of the great plague, a man dressed in pied clothing rode his way into the town of Hamelin on an ass (Donkey). He was a rude man, stealing from the blind, destroying crops and livestock for own personal gain. With the destruction following in his wake and after a week, the people of Hamelin had enough. Confronting the pied man, they told him to leave or be hung for his crimes, but the man pleaded to the people, that he was a rat catcher and would kill any rats for the people in return that they would spare him his life and let him live here.
: The people did not accept as Hamelin was a clean prosperous town, rat free for years. So on the night before his departure, the streets suddenly ran rampant of rats, seeping into the homes and the town well, filling with rats. So, the next day as the piper was about to leave. The people pleaded him to stay and rid the town of the sudden rats. He accepted the offer, only if he was paid for his deeds. The town scrounged up the money, enough for two horses. The next day, the townspeople discovered that all of the rats were dead and thanked the man for deeds to the town.
He never did kill the rats as he was the cause. The rats had already been dead, called back to life onto the town of Hamelin by his Flute. He conned the town for all of their gold and soon after the people thanked him, he left.
This artifact was discovered by Steve McCormick, an avid fan of the Evil Dead series and attempted to raise the dead with this flute.
Luigi Galvani's Bio-Electrical Wires - Drawing current into wires, allows user to increase the muscle output and adrenaline production. Lactic acid build-up is also increased, destroying the user's muscle tissue, leaving them literally skin and bones. If used with Joule's Generator, it can transfer heat into the organic target.
Used by Claudia to keep alive any victims they would meet from the artifact.
James Prescott Joule's Thermodynamic Generator - This experimental apparatus of Joule's theories on the law of thermodynamics that was made by Joule himself as the first testing product. Turning the crank allows the user to generate heat, heating the surrounding area, but the user who turns the crank cause their body to crack and heat up, changing bodily chemistry. If used along with Galvani's Wires, it can generate heat for a person's body. If cranked.
Used by Claudia to keep alive any victims they would meet from the artifact.
