GIANT'S BANE HISTORY

In 1325 DR the ranger Kaylin Plainstalker patrolled a vast area between the Giant’s Run Mountains and Elversult. Of half-elven heritage, the woman was a beauty, as well as an expert shot with her bow. Her attractiveness and her prowess at stopping marauding bands of hill giants soon caught the eye of Rilar Biltmoor, a rakish young wool merchant from Elversult. To gain her favor, the young man paid a wizard from Westgate to craft her a magical bow made of yew. Kaylin accepted the weapon, but rebuffed the merchant’s romantic interests.

Several years later, Rilar’s business failed, and he lost everything. He returned to his family farm on the outskirts of Elversult. Instead of organizing large shipments of wool to Westgate and Iriaebor, he spent his days tending sheep in the foothills of the Giant’s Run Mountains.

When Kaylin learned of the man’s troubles, she visited and offered to return the weapon he had given to her, hoping she could ease his financial burdens. Rilar declined the bow, claiming he had found a peace and contentment as a sheep header that he had not known as a merchant. His honesty and newfound humility touched the ranger, and over time, she grew to love the man she had rejected years earlier. They eventually married and started a family of their own.

The bow remained in Kaylin’s possession until she died peacefully in her sleep at her family’s farm.

When thunder booms and the birds have flown,
They come from the hills to leave you as bones.
They burn, kill, and loot and delight in it all,
And none can stop them, because they're so tall.
But with a pull of the string, it delivers such pain.
They hoot and they holler and cry "Giant's Bane!"
They run for the hills and never look back,
To afraid to return for another attack!

(4 levels contained)

While holding this rod, you can take a Reaction to absorb a spell that is targeting only you and doesn’t create an area of effect. The absorbed spell’s effect is canceled, and the spell’s energy—not the spell itself—is stored in the rod. The energy has the same level as the spell when it was cast. A canceled spell dissipates with no effect, and any resources used to cast it are wasted. The rod can absorb and store up to 50 levels of energy over the course of its existence. Once the rod absorbs 50 levels of energy, it can’t absorb more. If you are targeted by a spell that the rod can’t store, the rod has no effect on that spell.

When you become attuned to the rod, you know how many levels of energy the rod has absorbed over the course of its existence and how many levels of spell energy it currently has stored.

If you are a spellcaster holding the rod, you can convert energy stored in it into spell slots to cast spells you have prepared or know. You can create spell slots only of a level equal to or lower than your own spell slots, up to a maximum of level 5. You use the stored levels in place of your slots but otherwise cast the spell as normal. For example, you can use 3 levels stored in the rod as a level 3 spell slot.

A newly found rod typically has 1d10 levels of spell energy stored in it. A rod that can no longer absorb spell energy and has no energy remaining becomes nonmagical.

This rod is carved from the thigh bone of a Matron Moher, a legendary feat for which you do not know the origin. While attuned to this item, spiders tend to be found on or near you at times, and when activated you can hear Lolth trying to speak to you in anger as the spell is absorbed into the bone.
