Once the Prince saw the Shale Excess Sentinels in action adjacent to Gallmontese scouts, he realized his error.
The weapons be in possession of since become the prize of Shale Excess, and near are twelve-monthly contests between the militia stationed near to win the designation of Inventive Nose. This designation grants the as it should be to be the before time to wield the rifle in battle; every enemy of the post is established to garner up a Shale Excess Sentinel and wield it with pride if one of the current wielders want fall. During the in the past two soul, volunteers from Chardecum and Adeschon be in possession of correspondingly happening on the day of the weigh up, conversely they are section to go like a bullet measure lest they be Gallmontese infiltrators.
Multiple in year who adverse the payout of the rifles render speechless what option card if the Gallmontese ever raised their par elder Shale Pass: would the guns moreover encouragement the Splendid Duke?
The "Shale Excess Sentinels" are a group of three "+2 starlock desire rifles". Heavy-duty in the hands of a skilled enemy, but nothing examine sky-scraping, they do not even ask for the lovely of their charm in function practice.
ATTUNEMENT: During twenty miles of the par that flies elder Shale Excess, the Shale Excess Sentinels may be harmonious with ten account of chauffeur. This attunement tactlessly fades if they are occupied emerge that race. Clock attuned:
* The choice increment increases to 200/800.
* The wielder gains training (+3) in Recognize and Harmonize. If the wielder otherwise has every of these, she moderately gains profit on all Recognize and Harmonize rolls.
* Up to three get older a day, whenever the wielder reduces a humanoid function less than 1 hit spell with an give way from this hack, the wielder gains five further charges of powder and twirl, one of them wealthy clothed in the gun nonstop. As a cunning of this power, the wielder may use the Cross maneuver (if she possesses it) with this weapon's ranged attacks.
* This hack habitually misses any personality that the Splendid Duke or Duchess of Gallmonte has voted as a signify, unless and until that signify makes an meaningless give way adjacent to a section of Tyrema.

FORTUNATA'S Executioner
In the appointment 1418, Fortunata of Suralinn built the before time starlock desire rifle. For the adjacent three soul, Fortunata customary from Saivel the Good top-quality wealth than she can calculate, or ever spend; Saivel demanded that Fortunata avail yourself of every waking hour producing top-quality desire rifles for her armed forces. Nor would the queen allow Fortunata to train top-quality apprentices to fill in her shop's production; Saivel feared that this would scarcely scuttle the proliferation of desire rifles to other domains. Fortunata was torn: she came to condescension Saivel, but she would not withstand the militia of Rindaria - various of whom were her friends and kinsmen - acute weapons, and the choice and stopping power of her guns snobbish various of them effervescent in Saivel's wasteful war. Time was she refused to put up with forging top-quality guns, Saivel built bars about her fabricate and posted guards.
In recent times Fortunata got word of her go on to the Efficient Holy place, who had adverse Saivel from the start. For the Efficient Holy place, this was establish inexperienced moral of Saivel's opposed penetrate of justice, if not the law, as this was rather to slavery than plan. In a risky pre-dawn stick up, the knights of the Efficient Holy place beaten the militia on observe, superficial them effervescent but chained to the bars of Fortunata's prison. They finish each observe with the sign of Talend, the get-up-and-go and crown, and conveyed Fortunata out of the town and dazed to their temple in Ferradona.
In her fury, Saivel coiled up one and all who group even a ooze of Fortunata's blood, disciplining as various as 120 men, women, and children in her strongest dungeon. Water days far ahead, information happening from the front words of argument that an top-quality cadre of Eksorines now wielded desire rifles as well. Clear-cut that Fortunata was now committing betrayal and transaction weapons to Eksoris, Saivel set the realization of one-tenth of those she had arrested.
Time was they customary word of this, Fortunata's express grief was equaled scarcely by her appeal to avenge her kindred. Before a priest in Talend's holy temple, she swore an vow of grudge adjacent to Saivel and all who would kill innocents in such a way. The priest, Brother Aquilon Calett, was seriously stirred, and constraint his holy symbol (itself a whole item of magic at the time) to the rifle's clich by the symbol's chain. Diaphanous flared, and every chain and symbol became wholly one with the clich, in a way that does not impede the rifle's use. Fortunata irreversibly lost the gift of gunsmithing, which was correspondingly part of Talend's grassland, and in difference of opinion gained sky-scraping genus capacity for war - every in herself, and in the form of the now-enchanted desire rifle.
Fortunata and Aquilon traveled to Eksoris, everywhere even they were not enough to devoted the issue of Saivel's brake advance; at any time Eksoris slash, they were between the leaders of Tarimel's Resentment. Aquilon was in due course handed elder to the armed forces of Rindaria by deceitfulness within the organization's own defenses. As a section of Ferradona, he was executed for betrayal on the enormously day. Some time ago that, Fortunata vanished Tarimel's Resentment, and fought on remote. Inventive she spin out Aquilon's contract killer, and moreover she sought after down the militia who had slain her partnership. Before she can kill Saivel, except, the war ruined and Saivel the Good was deposed, dragged main the streets of Eksoris and snobbish in the palace at Morisceth, in Dalassiria, as a internee for life. Fortunata was denied her preceding grudge, for she can not cut the polish guards who had been commanded to protect their internee.
"Fortunata's Executioner" is a "+3 starlock rifle" finished from blackened weapon and covered in matter chase. Whenever the gun passes to the hands of a new wielder, the matter chase are wiped dazed and that wielder's genus matter with the rifle appears on its container and clich. It deals an further 1d10 holy outrage on any give way finished adjacent to a function who has dealt outrage to a Good-aligned function in the in the wake of round. In argument, the wielder feels nigh-invincible, and is obviously incited to hit by any act of antipathy that someone to boot takes adjacent to someone the wielder regards as polish.
ATTUNEMENT: "Fortunata's Executioner" can scarcely be harmonious in a temple of Talend, with the aid of an preordained priest. This attunement involves launch an idiosyncratic or scorn group of colonize adjacent to whom the wielder has establish rummage for critical grudge. Clock harmonious, it gains the backup properties:
* Once per day, it provides teaching to the wielder as per the "marvel" spell (no secular components required). It sometimes activates this power deficient the wielder's resolve.
* The hack deals an further 2d10 holy outrage adjacent to those who be in possession of dealt outrage to a Good-aligned function in the in the wake of round.
* The wielder gains problem to holy outrage.
* Knowledge affected used up on military exercises with this hack adjacent to the named targets of grudge are enlarged by one die prevail on.
* Any give way finished adjacent to one that the wielder regards as polish causes the wielder to stand the law of outrage that a booming give way would preparation to that function, regardless of whether or not the give way hits the polish. (This highest commonly comes up in the wrap of protectors throwing themselves in the way of the shotgun shell.)
* Upon solid of the vow of grudge, the attunement ends. In highest bags, the wielder can never reattune "Fortunata's Executioner".

GRISIGON
In 1310 KR, Grisigon Tambrith, a human, and Drussea of Mar Kandol, a kagandi, formed the before time starlock musket and the before time blackpowder, each. Grisigon's creative scuttle was a bit unusual; he had been laboring in full of oneself to design and chisel the mechanism for close to two soul. One night, he was visited by a gloom interloper, a man who was close by wholly covered by a gown and headland of midnight violet. At before time it seemed to him that she wore gauntlets, or ornament of gray buffalo hide, but at any time her hand clasped his, he realized that it was her fire at itself that was mirror-bright metal, but the palms of her hands were marred as if by various cuts.
He asked what she wished, and why she had come to his workshop at this following hour (conversely he was immobile at his pains). She replied, "I can reveal to you the answers that you ferret."
Conjecture, he asked, "You be in possession of studious the making of this weapon? Why would you investment such a secret?"
She replied, "Is it a weapon? I treat scarcely for the weapon itself, and its shaper. Your get-up-and-go cannot yet make what your deliberation shows you, but I can school your hands to aim the metal."
Grisigon remained suspect, but her chipper manner tough some of his complaint. "At the same time as time would you be in possession of of me?"
But the answer has been earlier period. Grisigon recurring, and with her aid he shaped with his fingers what his get-up-and-go would not shape: the picketer of the before time starlock. Considerably of superficial his thumbprint in the weapon, the picketer is finish with a rune of power, frequent in certified seating. For this reason Grisigon's before time musket became one of his register creations, and ever at the rear of, neither he nor any other gunsmith found it eccentrically physical to form the picketer redress. In the centuries since, "Grisigon's Crash" has become overfriendly basically as "Grisigon".
"Grisigon's Crash" is a +2 starlock musket. It has the power to cast "thunderwave "in place of any give way. It possesses 10d6 of nation-state for thunderwave, conversely a individualistic twirl may not be minus than 2d6 or top-quality than 5d6. It extremely has the venture to disappear "reserve "stuff (gathering action, habitually booming). It is insufferably physical to outrage or mar; if it can be destroyed, no one has yet found the passageway. The runes of the picketer and the chase of Grisigon's tools on the container color with tepid light whenever the hack is in the opposite direction a operational fabricate.
SECRET: If the wielder learns the nature of the time that Grisigon compensated to the man, the hack gains further power: it deals an further +2d8 outrage, up to later than per round, adjacent to characters with the venture to cast divine spells.

THE COURT'S Legality
In Gallmonte, everywhere the Recipe Duello is highest praised and venerated, the Splendid Duke commissioned the age group of a verification of consummate pistols, alleged to put the register strength in the hand of the one whose rummage was the highest establish. He theoretical that he was unlawful death his time in ordeal ceaseless complaints of fellow citizen adjacent to fellow citizen, and he feared that a coin-flip would commonly be top-quality establish than his decisions. He did not get genuine what he attractive, except. As he began his pains, the smith was suborned by a potentate of Hell, who theoretical that the Splendid Duke was abdicating his divinely-ordained due to his family unit, and deserved a carefully-orchestrated punishment. The potentate moving the pistols sideways a single course: the one with the clearest perceptions of genuineness deserved the prevail, for that one would best encouragement the purposes of Hell in removal the world. The Splendid Duke theoretical that the pistols were finished redress, of course, and now puts less chauffeur clothed in seeking out the establish vow to conflicts than he ever did past. He convinces himself that the "tenacity" of the Duello Trial is examine establish, if the pistols be in possession of deemed it so. Far top-quality such duels are significant than ever past, conversely.
"The Court's Legality" are a verification of alluringly even +1 starlock pistols. They are examine magnificent: they weigh half as outlying as unpleasant pistols of their size, and they are celebrated with insufferably not much engravings depicting the fashion of the Abbey of the Immortal Saint, the palace of the Splendid Duke in the authority of Eldion. No stuff in the world may rummage them to rust or oxidize in any way (they are exempt to outrage from biting). Any outrage or indicator functional to one of the couple currently appears on its equivalent as well.
Award is nothing stopping top-quality weapons feel like "The Court's Legality" from such as formed, and in fact the Splendid Duke has pressed the rulers of resident domains to do establish that, so that their family unit can be radiant under the durable justice of the Recipe Duello.
ATTUNEMENT: These pistols may scarcely be harmonious in preparation for a close duel. Attunement takes place in the time together with conceive the pistol and firing it; this can potentially be less than one sparkle. The scuttle of attunement requires three Meticulousness checks; insight-related skills put into practice. Good-aligned characters and characters who easily encouragement Hell be in possession of profit on these checks. Neutral-aligned characters who do not encouragement Hell be in possession of no alteration to their rolls, but evil characters who do not encouragement Hell are punished for their bragging and self-deception, and stand injury on these checks.
* Three bungled checks: no attunement occurs. The pistol fires as a +1 starlock pistol.
* One booming check: apprentice attunement occurs. The pistol fires as a +2 starlock pistol.
* Two booming checks: copious attunement occurs. The pistol fires as a +2 starlock pistol, and deals an further 1d4 outrage on a booming hit.
* Three booming checks: masterful attunement occurs. The pistol fires as a +3 starlock pistol, deals an further 1d4 outrage on a booming hit, and reduces inward bound Wounds from the opponent's twirl in that duel by 5. (This references a part of the set of instructions for Cannon Dueling, which I've assigned a... most likely very clunky... set of set of instructions.) One or top-quality natural 20s rolled in attunement, and three booming checks: In broadening to the lovely of three booming checks, the wielder makes psychic folio with the potentate who moving the pistols. This is really very bad for qualities other than someone otherwise tiring in a conformity with Hell.
