An old discarded Christmas wreath you found and cut into a laurel crown.
That's what it looks like at least, but in reality this artifact was the symbol of power of King Minos! The once mortal ruler who became the judge of the souls damned to the Inferno! You place it upon your head and grin at Lorelei, feeling rather pleased with yourself.
Lorelei nods and takes up her Fell Grimoire, leafing through a few pages before snapping it shut with a puff of dust. Mystical dust, of course.
"Fufu... Looks like we're all set then, Ace. I'll get a route plotted and pack our things back up for the journey, so could you go and make sure there's nobody watching the exit of our Dark Lair?"
She points to the slim window you and her use to get into the Forbidden Basement, having propped up a shoddy ladder to make getting in and out just a little bit more safe, if more splinter-filled. With your item of power securely on your head, you feel more confident than ever as you approach for some reconnaissance...
>Peek out through the almost opaque glass. If you can't see them, they can't see you, though it would sort of defeat the purpose.>Slip through the high window to see the afternoon with your own eyes. A demon lord has no need for caution!>Call out through the frame to warn any foolish mortals away. Your devilish voice is sure to drive them away in terror!>Write-in
