Tinkertop Bolt Blaster 1000

The Tinkertop Bolt Blaster 1000 is a prototype crossbow invented by Cleff Tinkertop of the city of Hupperdook. It was given to Nott as a reward for the Mighty Nein's aid in defeating the Gear Warden.

Appearance
The Tinkertop Bolt Blaster 1000 appears to be a hand-cranked crossbow and is a combination of gnomish clockwork and some (unknown) magic. It has a number of functions, and given the history of its creator, Cleff Tinkertop, and the weapon's prototypical nature, there is an understood possibility for catastrophic failure.

The Mighty Nein first came across the Tinkertop Bolt Blaster 1000 when Rissa Tinkertop brought the group to meet her father at his shop, Tinkertop Inventions. Mollymauk Tealeaf asked the elderly gnome what invention he was most proud of, and Cleff responded by bringing out the Tinkertop Bolt Blaster 1000. He told them that it would cost them 2000 gold pieces.

The Mighty Nein offered to defeat the Gear Warden, an automaton that Cleff had constructed for the Gearhold Prison which had since gone haywire, in exchange for the Tinkertop Bolt Blaster 1000 free of charge.

Features
The Tinkertop Bolt Blaster 1000 is a +1 crossbow. On a Natural 20, it immediately fires a second bolt against the target. However, on a Natural 1, the crossbow misfures and shoots the user instead.

Trivia

 * Nott's first nat 20 with this weapon was against Beau, as a way to force Caduceus to demonstrate his healing magic.
