A hammer forged in Avernus, inscribed by three separate hands — one divine architect, one devil lord, one fallen angel. All three inscriptions are addressed to the same person.
Description
A light hammer of infernal make. On strikes, infernal force is added. Humans killed by the hammer are dragged to the River Styx and reborn as lemures.
Mechanical Properties
- Infernal Strike: Adds infernal force on hits.
- Soul Capture: Humans killed by this hammer are dragged to the River Styx and reborn as lemures.
Inscriptions
The hammer bears three distinct bands, each in a different hand:
| Band | Author | Inscription |
|---|---|---|
| First | Hellforges of Avernus (under Zariel's commission) | "Forged in the fires of Avernus. Let the unworthy burn." |
| Second | Asmodeus (his own handwriting) | "To my blood, when you are ready to stop running from what you are." |
| Third | Bel (his own handwriting) | "She still loves you. That is why she fell." |
Significance
The three inscriptions appear addressed to Roland specifically:
- Asmodeus's inscription implies Roland is "his blood" — direct lineage, or deliberate misdirection.
- Bel's inscription refers to Zariel's fall from grace — she still loves you is addressed to her son.
- The hammer was apparently forged specifically for Roland. It was waiting in the Tarrasque's interior.
History
Recovered from a hardened interior cavity inside the Tarrasque in Session 4. Identified at camp after the escape.
Current Holder
TBD — holder not confirmed at end of Session 4. Roland is the implied recipient per the inscriptions.
