Unlock: Mace of Smiting. This head of the mace of smiting features an angry dwarven face. The specter of Reizzlerum Caskview still maintains a connection to the weapon, causing the owner to gain an unending thirst for ale. Weapon (mace), rare You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. The bonus increases to +3 when you use the mace to attack a construct. When you roll a 20 on an attack roll made with this weapon, the target takes an extra 7 bludgeoning damage, or an extra 14 bludgeoning damage if it's a construct. If a construct has 25 hit points or fewer after taking this damage, it is destroyed.

Story Award: Endless Bluetooth Ale. If a way was discovered to set up a supply of the blue lichen to the Yawning Portal, Durnan provides all the Bluetooth Ale the characters can drink whenever they visit. Brewed from the blue lichen grown on the skeletons of dwarves left for dead in the Stonebone Mines, bluetooth ale is a truly unique beverage. The strong dwarven-style ale is a rich sapphire color, and has a faint earthy taste. While the ale lacks most of the special properties of the blue lichen, it still can turn the imbibers teeth (and bones) temporarily blue. The ale functions as an ingested poison. The drinker must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or find that their bones and teeth turn a dark shade of blue for 24 hours.

Mace of Smiting

Quests
* The Hunt for Magic Items - Obaya Uday approached us offered to pay for any unwanted magic items we find in Undermountain. The amount she's willing to pay is based on the item's rarity; 10pp for common, 50pp for uncommon, 500pp for rare, and 5000pp for very rare. She made it clear these prices are nonnegotiable Obaya is also interested in buying spellbooks. She prices a spellbook based on the highest-level spell contained in it: 5 pp for 1st level, 25 pp for 2nd or 3rd level, 100 pp for 4th or 5th level, 250 pp for 6th or 7th level, and 500 pp for 8th or 9th level. Once she has purchased 7500pp worth of magic items and spellbooks, she will return to her master in Chult.
* Pay a Harper Debt - A bard named Mattrim Mereg, known as Threestrings, and who plays a three-stringed lute at the Yawning Portal needs a pouch of gold delivered to a female half-drow named Cal'al Claddani, who runs a tavern called the Flagon and the Dragon in Skullport. Cal'al provided shelter and healing to a wounded Harper spy in Skullport and is owed payment for her support. Once we deliver the pouch, we can take refuge in a Harper hideout called Dalagor's Fortress, located on the uppermost level of Skullport. Mattrim told us that a dragonborn mage named Felrax guards the place.
* The Search for Kressando Rosznar - Esvele Rosznar who we met at the Yawning Portal asked us to keep an eye out for Kres sando, a 22-year-old man with fair skin and dark curly hair, trained in the arts of stealth and thievery. She also told us that Kressando wears a platinum signet ring bearing the Rosznar family crest (a diving white falcon on a field of blue) and an inscription of the family motto ("Fly high and stoop swift"). She promised that if we can facilitate Kressando's safe return or deliver proof of his whereabouts to Esvele, she will owe us a favor, adding that "You can trust in House Rosznar."
* The Throne of the Coronal - Volothamp Geddarm, famous explorer and raconteur, regaled us with the following tale: "This story dates to the fall of Illefarn, an elven kingdom of the North. An alabaster throne belonging to Syglaeth Audark, the last coronal of Illefarn, disappeared from the capital city of Aelinthaldaar, where the Mad Mage built his tower and today stands Waterdeep. It's said that a group of dwarves feared the destruction of such a miraculous work of stonecraft and stole the throne right out from under the elves' slender noses. Where the dwarves hid it for so long, who knows? But should you find it in Undermountain, it would please the elves of the North to know it survives."

Stone of Controlling Earth Elementals. Wondrous item, rare. Presented by Eka. If the stone is touching the ground, you can use an action to speak its command word and summon an earth elemental, as if you had cast the conjure elemental spell. The stone can’t be used this way again until the next dawn. The stone weighs 5 pounds and is in the shape of a round mother goddess.

Rod of Rulership. Rod, rare (requires attunement). You can use an action to present the rod and command obedience from each creature of your choice that you can see within 120 feet of you. Each target must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by you for 8 hours. While charmed in this way, the creature regards you as its trusted leader. If harmed by you or your companions, or commanded to do something contrary to its nature, a target ceases to be charmed in this way. The rod can’t be used again until the next dawn. This ornate wooden rod is a dark green hue, about two and a half feet in length. The head of the rod is a circular, heavy scepter head, with green banding and rubies interlaid into a gold crown. The base of the rod is a gold-leafed leather pommel with a tassel. This item can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.

Friends in High Places. Due to your savvy completion of Derlen’s task, you have begun to make a name for yourself in the Moonsea region, and have gained a small bit of favor with a member of the Lords’ Alliance. When playing adventures published by The Role Initiative (TRI), you may gain advantage on a Charisma-based skill check for an interaction involving a member of the Lords’ Alliance, or a city, town, or other type of government official in the Moonsea Region. This story award can be used once.
