History
The Mighty Nein found the Rod in the Arcane Armory of The Folding Halls of Halas accessed through the Happy Fun Ball while searching for Yussa Errenis. Jester took it and used its spells for the first time in the fight against The Inevitable End at the Invulnerable Vagrant to cast Grease. She used its Magic Mouth spell to create a rock that would say, "Here they are, ready for the taking!" if the dragon turtle came within range of the hidden entrance to the cavern containing the mothballed ships on Rumblecusp. Hlaf a year later, while delving deeper into the Cyrios End Forest, Jester cast Magic Mouth to record monkey noises, then left it in a tree to hopefully draw other monkeys, or the strom giant who potentially followed the group' step, away from them.
