Eggscaliber

Eggscaliber is a distinctive weapon wielded by Dame Flubb, also known as Bentocat, of the Owsla. It is immediately recognizable because it is a cast iron frying pan with a hilt like a broadsword. The latest iteration has been cast of Meteoric Iron and contains some literomantic enchantments.

History

Having started her life with House Lapin as the Royal Cook, Dame Flubb formed the Kitchenalia Brigade in order to protect Queen Sable Aradia, the Bunny Queen, whom she felt a great deal of loyalty to. To better facilitate this calling, she asked James Woodwright, Captain of the Owsla, a redsmith, to attach a sword hilt to her trusty frying pan, so it wouldn't slip out of her hand when she was in battle.   This initiative led directly to her induction into the Owsla herself, and the erstwhile cook soon gained a reputation as a fierce soldier who bravely protected her Queen. Her frying pan, dubbed "Eggscaliber" after a popular internet meme, became an iconic weapon, feared by Tome Zombies everywhere — as well as by the Bunny Queen herself, since her loyal protector often threatened to "bash her with Eggscaliber" for failing to mind her self-care.   During the Battle of the Wolverine Line in The Sixth Word War, Dame Flubb threw herself in front of a Litroball intended for her queen, and threw Eggscaliber to her Captain and best friend, for safekeeping while she was among the Undead. After her Resurrection, when she was told that Captain Woodwright had slept with Eggcaliber at his side, as a reminder of his friend, she did not have the heart to ask for it back.   Captain Woodwright and Queen Sable then decided to replace Eggscaliber with a magical weapon, forged by the Captain and enchanted by the Mother of Bunnies. They presented her with the new version, powered by Literomancy, near the beginning of the April 2026 Tourney of Tales.

Powers & Abilities

  • Can be heated to roughly the temperature of magma, adding heat damage when it strikes an opponent. Eggscaliber glows red hot when this effect is activated and smells of molten metal, and this does not burn the weapon's wielder
  • When used as a buckler or shield, makes deflecting blows easier (can be said to give the equivalent of "advantage" in DnD to defense). Eggscaliber leaves a faint trail of pinkish-gold sparkles when this effect is activated.
  • Can be used to strike blows that are completely harmless, but startle the target (allowing Dame Bentocat to make good on her threat to her friend and queen). There is no noticeable spell effect when this is used, except that the blow always makes a satisfying bang.
  • Any meal cooked in Eggcaliber restores anyone who eats it by reducing fatigue and lifting spirits. If activated, meals cooked in Eggscaliber can also heal minor injuries for anyone who eats them. If Dame Bentocat chooses to use her own healing literomancy, activating this power allows the meal to heal more severe injuries, such as broken bones or significant bleeding wounds. Eggscaliber glows with a pinkish-gold aura when this effect is activated, and emits the hint of a scent like ozone or burnt steak (which does not permeate the food.)

    Raw materials & Components
    The original Eggscaliber was a cast iron frying pan with a hilt from a broken sword, soldered onto the pan where the handle had broken off. The second Eggscaliber was cast from meteoric iron with literomantic runes along its rim, and fused in its casting to a bronze hilt cast by Captain Woodwright. The hilt was then wrapped in green leather, and affixed to a large, greenish crystal to form its pommel. The crystal is believed to be constructed of either crystalized dragon fire, or Substance G (also known as "narrative stone.")
