A
sunken pistol is imbued with the unfulfilled desires and insatiable greed of its previous wielder, a notorious pirate drowned at sea. Once a beautiful and artistically wrought weapon, a
sunken pistol is coated in a fine layer of dried salt and encrusted with barnacles. Each shot fired from this
+1 striking dragon mouth pistol is now coated in a layer of salty ectoplasm and has the effects of a
ghost touch rune. You can shoot the
sunken pistol underwater, even when using black powder ammunition.
A
sunken pistol urges you to amass a horde of treasure even a dragon would be proud of. The methods used to acquire these riches matter not to the greedy pirate pistol, so long as you amass and hoard excessive wealth. Above all else, a
sunken pistol desires the return of its own treasure, which might rest in the wreck of its sunken ship's hold or be hidden on a dangerous island.
In pursuit of treasure, a sunken pistol offers nautical and navigation advice to you, though it refuses such aid during less lucrative ventures. If you prove a profitable partner, the sunken pistol aids you in combat by
Demoralizing your opponents (see the first Activation below). If you prove charitable or unwilling to retrieve its treasure, the
sunken pistol turns its ire on you, Demoralizing you during combat until you relent. If you repeatedly refuse the
sunken pistol, it would be wise to not accept
water breathing from it, as it might attempt to drown you to allow a more suitable wielder to acquire it from your corpse. The
sunken pistol can use the following activations.
Activate [one-action] command;
Frequency once per minute;
Effect The sunken pistol curses and insults a creature it can see, attempting an
Intimidation check to Demoralize that creature.
Activate [three-actions] command;
Frequency once per day;
Effect The sunken pistol casts
water breathing on you as a 3rd-level arcane spell. The sunken pistol can Dismiss this spell, so be sure to keep the gun happy if you're relying on its good graces to breathe!
