Crossbow of the Purple Dragon

The **Crossbow of the Purple Dragon**, known colloquially as the **T Crossbow**, is a powerful weapon built from the refined essence of purple dragon feathers. It was commissioned to be built by Geb & Jen's Weapons in the town of Crooksbarrow by T- however, he paid only with a single Guddacha gold coin, which he actually didn't even give to them.

After T was spirited away via the Donjon from the Deck of Many Things, Rabi Phendara claimed his poncho and this crossbow, which he still uses to this day.

## Description

A light but sturdy crossbow built of wood and melted-down purple dragon feathers. It’s very simple, as the creator didn’t have time to carve anything into it before it was claimed by the commissioner.

## Powers

By default, the crossbow is a standard +1 light crossbow. It deals 1d6 piercing damage, and has a range of 10/80 ft.

The crossbow has three settings, which can be flickered between with a switch on it's handle. Each one has a different effect.

### Normal/Standard

The default setting on this crossbow has it function as any other would. It deals 1d6 piercing damage on a hit, and has it's standard range of 10/80 ft.

### Booming Blast

The middle setting of the crossbow allows it's user to blast a wave of force energy around themselves.

This attack blasts out in a radius of 20 ft centered on the wielder. It deals 2d6 force damage to anyone within said range, with a DC 13 Constitution saving throw for half damage.

Using this attack takes an action, as the wielder has to pull the trigger back for a couple of seconds in order to charge up the blast.

### Booming Arrow

The lowest setting allows the wielder to infuse the next bolt shot out with force energy, releasing it upon the arrow's landing. It add an additional 1d6 force damage to the target hit by it, and they must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be pushed backwards 5 ft and fall prone.

Only one arrow can be charged with this energy per round, though the wielder may make multiple attacks in a turn while also using this ability if they have the capability of doing so.

## History

Geb & Jen, who own the weapon smithy in Crooksbarrow, had recently gotten a hold of some potent purple dragon feathers when the as-of-yet-unnamed party of Halintar: Respite of the Gods had gotten into town. They had begun the process of refining them when T requested that they be forged into a crossbow, which the smiths amicably did.

The crossbow was worked on while the party pursued Andromeda, who they discovered had been sickening and kidnapping plantfolk. Upon their return from this adventure they discovered that Kris Nifeton had escaped her confines, kidnapping Zor and stealing a ship. With their friend's life on the line, the group ran into the weaponsmith and managed to swindle the craftsmen completely, offering a single Guddacha gold coin that they didn't even give to the shopkeepers themselves.

After T claimed a card from the Deck of Many Things in the Drukat casino, he was rendered comatose and spirited away to an unknown location in the Astral Plane. All his material possessions were left behind, including the crossbow. It was claimed by Rabi Phendara, who still utilizes the weapon often to this day.

## Notable Owners

* T was the original owner of the crossbow, having claimed it for free from Geb & Jen.
* Rabi Phendara claimed the crossbow after T was Donjon'd away, and still has it as of late 905 ME.
