Whaler's Delight

1
An extraordinary melee weapon.
Used by Caleb Kemp, Created by geniebottle.
On Legendary Artifact Ancestor's Hook.

The harpoon, despite its age and size, glows near brilliant white at the cracks when faced with the hide of a monster to pierce.

After initiation into the Sons, Caleb was troubled with restless sleep and nightmares, all of a scene he'd only heard fanatically raved about from a capstan pulpit...the Great Hunt.

He found himself sleepwalking, gravitating towards a chamber in the old warehouse. These sleepwalks continued, all until he told his Uncle. He was delighted, and told Caleb all about the Hunt and it's purpose, and that these visions must be a gift. He was so glad, he gifted Caleb his lucky fish-hook...something that had been passed down for the last few generations.

Its secrets have...yet to be unleashed though.

This Artifact can be used as a sword / axe. It is roughly the same size as a sword / axe but can be collapsed into fishhook and concealed. Collapsing or expanding it costs a Quick Action.
