@Orila
When Orila gives it a test swing both gnomes go pale with panic, gasping in surprise and fear. Number Four nervously lifts a finger and points at the maul.
"Please. Please do not do that. We have anti-magic wards in place but the effects of it breaking the ground are not magical, it is some kind of resonance ability with whatever the head is made of. We exist in an extra-dimensional pocket so if you do breach the ground we might fall...forever. Just...put it back in the box for now."
Number Eight comes forward with the padded case to assist Orila and ensure no accidents happen when stowing it away.
@Talia
The gnome gets quite animated as he begins to describe the weapon in Talia's hands.
"Tiamat's Fury is an ancient artifact, far older than the realm you came from. It must have been buried for millenia for it to become so weak. To power it back up you must bath it in the blood of dragons. Every different dragon type whose blood you bath it with will empower it further. If the legends are true not only will it strike harder and truer but you will unlock the special attacks of that dragon. Kill a red dragon with it and it can breath fire. Kill a white dragon with it and it can breath frost. Kill a blue dragon with it and it will shoot lightning. Not only that but its abilities get stronger too.
When fully powered it is said the wielder could strike dragons down from the sky with a single blast from it.
You must be cautious however, as the stronger it gets the fiercer the intelligence inside of it. We do not know what kind of soul or mind is bound to the Fury which is why we would like you to empower it. The legends say five should be sufficient to fully unlock the mind inside so if you ever get that far bring it back and we will reward you quite handsomely.
You should know that you must engage the dragon with the Fury in combat. We have plenty of dragon's blood on hand but stored blood will not do anything. It must be fresh and it must be taken with violence and anger."
The gnomes study it a bit further and give a few additional details to Talia to help her wield it better. Number Four also reveals that languages aren't necessary, it is instead about formulating the command with her mind. She can say anything as a trigger so long as she frames it the right way mentally.
OOC: Translation:
Right now it has only been soaked in the blood of a red dragon which is why it can breath fire. Talia didn't know so she didn't wield it against the black dragon so it is still just a +1 Mace and the fire breath only does 2d6 damage fire. Each additional dragon type will increase its enchantment by +1 and add +1d6 to its breath weapons, capping out at +5 and 6d6 fire/ice/electricity/acid cone/lines.
With the gnome's help you can also come up with your own trigger word!
@Alyssa
The gnomes show off the quiver and explain how it works. First of all when desired whenever you reach into it, it will produce a regular arrow. These arrows only exist to be fired and if the archer tries to give them away they crumble into nothingness. They are created, fired, and when removed from the body dissolve into dust.
As a secondary ability Alyssa could story any number of specific arrows, be they magical or gimmick arrows, and when she reached for one in the quiver and thought about which one she was hunting for she would always grab the right one. She could store a thousand different arrows inside and always pull out the one she was looking for.
