This is an adjunct to the Battle for Uber, as created by PMJ, where monsters, demons, sorcerors and sword wielding maniacs fight each other.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A few days ago, a warrior came in here looking for a three-handed maul. I knew I had a few spares in stock, as in these parts they are a common enough item, so I went searching in my store to see if I had the sort the beast was looking for. Needless to say, I had to cast a fresh one, but I did find something else interesting.
It's strange, this shield. It's lighter than wood but you can't get a bloody crossbow bolt through it at point blank. It's not simply a shield; it's like it was forged in the very fires of hell themselves. It is the very SOUL of a shield.
I didn't forge it, and the metal is strange, but the only reason I don't use it myself is because it's a mere buckler even to a man, and I prefer the coverage of a seven foot tower shield. It's as if it were magic, but I can tell these things, and no spells were cast in its making. At least, not refined spells as we know them today.
Quite possibly nothing less remarkable went into the metal itself than the very power of the elemental mages of the last wars between the solemn and elder. This piece was not forged by any bellows, but the heat of a mountain exploding.
Well, cheers to that armourer. Not terribly useful for most, but certainly a skilled piece of work.

"Demonad", I banish thee.
For all others, to bother making a maul with 3 arms, it would have to be around 300lb of metal. This basically requires casting, even if the armourer could forge the outside to make it more malleable.

So you had to cast a maul? Casting makes pieces very brittle, which is why swords and axes weren't cast. As a matter of fact, NOTHING used on the battlefield with the exception of cannons were cast. Dude, learn how shit works before writing this crap, seriously. If you wanna know, ask me, but don't write sensless shit like this that pisses me off.
