Wee Folks Smithing Hammer

The Wee Folks Smithing Hammer is a magical war hammer delivered straight from Gond himself onto our plane of existence, wielded by his champions. This hammer gives off a holy aura, due to the holy symbol of Gond etched onto the sides of the head of the hammer. This magical hammer has the ability to destroy any undead creature that is unfortunate enough to come under fire from it.

   The Knights of the Deergarde came into knowledge of this hammer while travelling the Underdark, while visiting the town of Grambulden, in their establishment of Gond. Tiberion "The Mighty" Dasboot walked right in to pronounce his faith, and talked to the priest about the whereabouts of the hammer. After a while, it was pointed out the hammer was stolen from the church, by a group of Duergar, guarded by their massive fortress. Tiberion also received a tapestry of the hammer.

Upon hearing this, Tiberion told the party about the hammer, and it's importance to him and his faith, and they set their sights on that fortress. After lava spills, a zombie Beholder fight, and twenty-one or so days of travel, they reached the fortress.

Upon getting closer, the main entrance is closed off with a drawbridge. As Tiberion melts away the restraints on the chains, the party comes under fire from Duergar Arbalists. After the drawbridge comes crashing down, a drake controlled by two Duergar handlers stomps out and begins its assault.

Once the drake, and the surrounding Duergar Arbalists and Handlers were taken care of, we begin our march into the heart of the fortress. Once inside, we are attacked from all angles by farmers, more arbalists, and mages. A lengthy battle of attrition begins as Tiberion cannot cast anymore spells, and is forced to swing his silvered war hammer at the opposition. While trapped in a secret room, while in combat, Leo hatched the idea to close the door as to not let any more Duergar in. Without hesitation he pushed Solgryn's head into the button, causing the door to slowly close, of course the Duergar aren't stupid, so they go and re push the button. Leo being Leo, once again pushes Solgryn's head into the button.

Upon killing all but a few Duergar, Leo again hatches a brilliant idea: put the Bag of Holding over his head. He does so, but not until one of them punctures the bag, sending the head of the poor Duergar, all of Gulumash's belongings, and Tiberion's holy symbols he had to remove before entering the church Asmodeus, before entering the fortress as to pass him off as a "Winston Churchill" type. Having all those gone, Tiberion could not spell cast as his holy symbols allowed him to do so.

However, a few moments later on the walk to the main tower holding the hammer, time slowed for Tiberion, as a mystical aura surrounded him. Tiberion felt a burning pain on his left hand, as he found the holy symbol of Gond has been encrusted onto his hand. With this new found energy, Tiberion and party follow through with their plan of sieging the tower.

Upon entering the third floor, they come face to face with the leader, Travok, with a party of sorts of his own. Leo has been in a cage this entire time, leaving Tiberion to assume leadership in his place. With a mighty battle through the fire and the flames, we carried on to take down this evil man. Fighting hard using forged steel, Tiberion swung his war hammer with all his might, throwing off radiant bolts of energy at Travok, calling forth mystical anvils to protect him and his allies, but it wasn't enough to seem to even affect Travok. Tiberion unfortunately went down. Travok showing mercy, brought him back, but that was his biggest mistake. Tiberion knew he had to act fast, the hammer was almost in reach for him. He put Travok into a magical circle, preventing him from leaving. Doing this bought them just enough time for Leo to turn into his bat form, fly down the stairs into the fight, change back, and with a look of trust between Leo and Tiberion, Leo took the Wee Folks Smithing Hammer off of the wall, and begun to beat Travok with his own hammer.

Travok had enough at that point, he knew he was defeated, all his allies had been wiped out, and his hammer was in Leo's hands. After saying some parting words, a portal to another plane was made behind him, and he stepped through. Waking Tiberion up, Leo handed him the hammer, and the same feeling from before fell onto him. He saw all the past wielders using the hammer to take down mighty foes, including Gond himself forge the hammer. In this moment, Tiberion finally knew what it meant to be a Hill Dwarf.
