Powers
Shatterbolt was a masterfully crafted weapon that possessed a +2 enchantment and dealt massive critical damage to its targets.

History
Shatterbolt was created by an unnamed but skilled gnome bower who impressed everyone, even himself with the construction of this heavy crossbow. He organized an event to show the device off to his fellow gnomes. The bower continuously fired Shatterbolt at target barrels making them explode into splitters with each hit. Unfortunately to the event's attendees, the barrels were filled with water and showered them after each explosive presentation. One of the attendees was a half-orc bounty hunter. She was not amused by the water-soaked annoyance.

After the show was over, the bounty hunter followers the gnome bower home and murdered him with just one hit of her handaxe, ending the gnome's career as an inventor and entertainer. She claimed Shatterbolt for herself.

By 1372 DR, Shatterbolt found its way to Daggerford where it was in stock of Derval's Bright Blade, the local smith shop that belonged to Derval Ironeater.
