Propose New Card - A Mundane Item

A new card with the key word "Item" will be added to the base game. Although this item is not magical, that doesn't mean it it is not useful! A few ideas were already shared on Kickstarter Update #5. Here they are to get you thinking:

• 10 foot Pole- Use this long stick to poke ahead and save yourself from a trap card
• The Lost Puppy- Trade it and it comes back to you.
• Skull of fallen opponent-  Morale bonus, or sacrifice it to discard and Enemy 
• The Field Mistress - Negative Prestige, positive Survival, "Soothe the day's battle pains in the loving embrace of your straw "friend". The negative prestige is due to the embarrassment of using the mistress rather than a living companion.
• Thieve's Tools - Steal a Location Card
• A Piece of Chalk - no game effect. It is that mundane!
• A Scabbard - holds an extra weapon card

We only get to choose one new piece of equipment. What is the one item you think we should take with us on our next adventure? Describe it and (if you can) propose a game effect.
