Cracker and Whacker

Cracker and Whacker were twin morning stars that were the chief weapons of the dwarf Athrogate.
==Description==
Cracker and Whacker were both gray glassteel morning stars, with spiked metal heads attached to the ends of adamantine chains. The novels' descriptions of Athrogate's "morning stars" are very similar to that of flails, especially in D&D v.3.5 rules. However, in medieval weaponry, the name "morning star" mainly referred to the spiked ball head of a weapon, which could be attached to a handle (like a mace) or a chain (like a flail). Therefore, this name and description of "morning star" are accurate. Athrogate generally wielded Cracker in the left hand and Whacker in the right hand.
==Powers==
On command, Cracker emitted from the small nubs on the striking ball a dark reddish and chalky fluid, the ichor of a rust monster, which corroded other metals on contact. Whacker coated itself with a clear, blue-gray, oily liquid known as oil of impact, which oozed from the spikes. Used together, with first a strike by Cracker then strikes by Whacker, Athrogate could smash anything from a thick iron wall to an iron golem into rust flakes.
==History==
In 1484 DR, Athrogate used his morning stars to smash through the iron wall sealing off Mithral Hall from the Underdark.
