Blowgun of Impending Doom
The Blowgun of Impending Doom is a beautifully crafted weapon made of oak and silver. It is an amalgamation of halfling imagination and gnomish artifice.1
The promise
No one can take up the blowgun without promising never to use it on a halfling or a gnome. If it is ever turned against one, it explodes in a fiery blast that burns its own user.1
Accumulating doom
A target struck by one of its darts is marked with what is called "accumulating doom". Each further dart from the same blowgun adds to that doom, and every new strike wounds the target more grievously than the last while the doom lingers.1
