The Iron Bands of Bilarro, or "Manners", is an item carried by Percival. It is a restraining device that, when invoked, wraps its target in iron bands until dismissed.

Appearance[edit | edit source]

The item is described as "a rusty iron sphere that is about three inches in diameter and weighs about a pound. It has a bunch of really strange shapes and designs, almost like it was made from condensed chains that were then melted down into a single sphere. It has a really rough texture on the outside."[1]

History[edit | edit source]

Vox Machina looted this item from the bodies of a group of cultists encountered in the Smouldercrown Mountains. It was given to Percy, who programmed it to respond to his own command word.[2] When Percy used the item to restrain a cultist in "Thar Amphala" (1x101), the command word he chose was revealed to be "Manners."[3]

Percy used Manners on Scanlan when Scanlan was under the influence of a love potion and invaded Percy and Vex's bedroom in search of his temporary love interest, Percy.[4] It was used on Scanlan once again just after Vax'ildan was claimed by the Raven Queen.[5]
