Sam’s Chalice

Sam drinking from a large ornate silver chalice with the text “BRRR!! THIS OPENING IS SOOO COLD!!!” hand-written on white paper pasted to the bottom. The chalice has spokes emerging from the curve of its cup reminiscent of Candescent Creed sun ray designs. A turquoise gem is set in the side, matching the gem in Wicander’s circlet. Sam wears a tan snap-up jacket over a black T-shirt with a white graphic across the front, not fully visible under the snap-up.
