There are areas of the city where whistles, bangs, and booms draw attention- but not so much near Urrek's Boomshop. There, brightly-coloured flashes, loud explosions, and painful curses are expected and commonplace, although still disturbing for locals. Urrek Bitterfingers (because he's "still got a bit o' fingers") experiments with, manufactures, and sells a variety of explosives to brave (and sometimes unfortunate) adventurers.
Among his wares are: 1 - Whistle Rocket (25 gp each, 1/2 lb.): A Whistle Rocket can be lit as an action. At the start of the next turn, it launches as a thrown ranged attack (range 30/120), dealing 2d6 bludgeoning damage on a successful hit and then detonating in a 10-foot radius to deal an additional 3d6 thunder damage (Dexterity save DC 11 for half damage). It whistles loudly on its passage and can automatically be heard for 100 feet around. 2 - Brightflare (20 gp each, 1/2 lb.): A Brightflare rocket can be lit as an action. At the start of the next turn, it launches as a thrown ranged attack (range 80/600), dealing 2d6 bludgeoning damage on a successful hit and then detonating in a 50-foot radius to deal an additional 2d6 fire damage (Dexterity save DC 11 for half damage). This explosion is brightly-coloured and can automatically be seen for at least a mile in any direction. 3 - Silverbanger (5 sp each, 1/10 lb.): A Silverbanger is a tiny explosive, barely the size of a little finger. A Silverbanger can be lit as an action. At the start of the next turn, it can be thrown as a ranged attack (range 10/30), detonating in a 5-foot radius to deal 1d3 thunder damage (Constitution save DC 9 for half damage, minimum 1). This explosion is loud, and draws attention from anyone nearby. 4 - Boombundle (150 gp each, 5lb.): A Boombundle is a bundle of brightly-coloured sticks of explosive, banded together with strips of steel and with a small pouch of alchemical glue tied to one side. A Boombundle can be lit as an action, and then thrown as a ranged attack (range 10/20), or attached to a surface as a Use An Object action (Strength DC 16 to dislodge). The Boombundle detonates at the start of the next turn, dealing 6d6 fire damage and 4d6 thunder damage to all creatures and objects in a 20-foot radius. If mounted to a surface using the alchemical pouch, all damage die rolls of 1 or 2 on the object to which it is mounted are counted as a 3 instead, and the radius is only 10 feet. 5. BIG ROKKET (1,500 gp, 25lb.): Urrek's prize and joy invention, the BIG ROKKET is a cylinder almost a foot high, and nearly as thick as it is tall. The BIG ROKKET can be lit as an action. At the start of the next turn, it launches as a thrown ranged attack (range 200/1000), dealing 4d6 bludgeoning damage on a successful hit and then detonating in a 40-foot radius to deal 10d6 thunder damage (Dexterity save DC 18 for half damage). The explosion is incredibly loud and bright, and anyone caught in the radius must also make a Constitution saving throw at DC 18 to avoid being Blinded and Deafened for 1 minute afterwards. The explosion can be seen and heard from over a mile away, and using it indoors expands the radius to 80 feet as the shockwave rebounds from hard surfaces nearby. Urrek has only manufactured one of these, and producing more would take nearly 6 months each in addition to his normal work. 6 - Lightstarter (10 gp each, 1/2 lb.): One of Urrek's inventions, this contraption combines a flint and tinder into a one-handed device that produces a shower of sparks with a Use An Object action (or the action above to light any of his other devices). If used offensively, the sparks can deal 1d2 fire damage to an creature or object within 5 feet (Dexterity save DC 8 to avoid) but might also briefly blind or distract an opponent. The fuse on any of these can be lengthened, as Urrek sells additional fuse string for 2 silver pieces per 'round', in pre-cut lengths of 1-6 rounds. On an attack roll of 1 for any of the above items, the rocket instead detonates immediately in the user's hands. Also posted on Game Masters Stash on 18 August 2021. Comments are closed.
