Mechanik’s Union

This Orgoth-styled longbow was recently discovered within a temple built for an ancient and revered cleric hunter. Although the name of the assassin has yet to be translated, scholars can confirm that no less then 17 mid to high ranking priests had been slain through the use of the bow, and despite the generous, yet questionable offers from unknown collectors, the weapon is not for sale and currently housed in Victor Pendrake’s collection of artifacts.

The bow itself features a screaming face motif hand guard, and its string makes no sound when an arrow is notched and fired, although it strums as normal when drawn unarmed. Furthermore, when gripping the bow through its hand guard, the metal is cool to the touch when aimed at normal arcane spellcasters, but warms significantly when the bow is aimed at individuals with divine casting powers, or exceptionally strong faith in their deity. Lastly, if the target previously mentioned is hit by an arrow fired from this bow, the subject is muted as per the spell Silence with no Spell Resistance, and receives a negative to all Will saves equal to the amount of damage taken. Although the duration of the spell can be prolonged with subsequent attacks, the negatives to Will saves do not stack.
