Reliquary

A kiln about a decorated pot. The drawing burns; the pot remains. Its sherds hold a small cache. Smash it and the loot spills like a dig; sneak-click to unseal it cleanly if you sealed it.

Pattern​

Hover a tile to name it. Reading pattern diagrams explains the symbols.

How it works​

A Reliquary turns a decorated pot into a small private cache. Right-click the pot to bind it: the kiln burns away and the pot remains. The kiln drinks itself into the pot — the sherds keep their silence.

From then on, right-click the pot to open its cache, which holds four stacks. Only you can open it. Everyone else is turned away: The sherds keep their silence. Hoppers cannot reach inside.

Opening it for good​

  • Sneak and right-click the pot to unseal it cleanly. Its keepings return to you and the pot becomes ordinary.
  • Smash it, or let an explosion break it, and the loot spills out like an archaeology dig.

Configuration​

These are the defaults in plugins/Runic/runes/reliquary.yml. Every rune file also carries the shared settings described in Rune files.
