Whaler's Delight Offensive Form

2
An extraordinary melee weapon.
Used by Caleb Kemp, Created by geniebottle.
On Legendary Artifact Ancestor's Hook.

With a flick of the wrist, and when tainted with blood, the fish hook is transformed into a harpoon with a wooden shaft, etched with symbols and verses, cracked and salt-burned lime the hull of a great ship. 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. Unless additional damage past +2 only applies if your hit is a successful called shot or preceded by a Super Leap for momentum and you have a Severity-3 or higher Injury, or succeed on a coin flip in a situation of extreme danger, you cannot turn the fishhook into the harpoon. If these conditions are met, you may hear voices or whispers to put the hook in liquid, which transforms it, this Artifact behaves as its mundane counterpart.

Attack by rolling Brawn + Melee, Difficulty 6. Successful attacks deal Contested Outcome +4 Weapon Damage.

You also gain the following effects:

  • Any Injury inflicted is considered unstabilized even if its Severity is less than 4. The equipment and roll required to Stabilize it is treated as though it is a minimum of Severity 6.
  • Bane: Injuries dealt to marine supernatural entities, or those significantly empowered by sea magic are increased by 2 Severity levels.
  • Mjolnir: You may call your weapon back to your hand as a Quick Action if it is within 50 feet of you. Can only be used on melee weapon that you have wielded in the past hour.
  • Pin: If you Injure a target with an Attack, you may choose to leave your weapon. If you do, the target is “pinned” to that location until the weapon is removed. Removing the weapon increases the Severity of that Injury by 2.

  • If there is not enough free space to expand the object, it cannot be expanded. You cannot expand this Object as an attack.
  • Reminder: additional Weapon Damage granted by this Effect does not stack with any other bonus to Weapon Damage. Instead the largest bonus is used.
