Phoenician Fury

 Phoenician Fury is a single-barrelled pistol currently wielded by the Drow gunslinger Alton Elenaur, who often refers to the weapon simply as   'Fury' for ease of speaking.

Appearance
A beautiful piece of craftsmanship, Phoenician Fury is the culmination of numerous failed predecessors and decades of study. With an ornate wooden grip and iron barrel, both parts are decorated and embellished with golden patterns and inlays.

The pistol has a cylinder capable of holding up to four pieces of ammunition at any one time, rotating from one chamber to the next with every pull of the trigger.

Creation
The first working iteration of the pistol was crafted by Alton using a combination of personal knowledge of ranged weaponry from time served as a soldier, a proficiency in tinkering, and the scribblings of kobold inventors slain by adventurers during an expedition into their lair.

During a deadly encounter with the Oni menace Rairaku, the pistol misfired due to Alton's haste in wishing to free his grappled ally Vyodros. Unable to repair the gun in the field, Alton was forced to break the weapon apart and reconstruct it from the shattered pieces. After a second mission, during which the pistol proved most effective in dealing with a considerable number of gnolls, Alton elected to once again take the pistol apart to study and replicate the mechanisms within during the creation of Stormsong.

Upon successfully completing the forging and reassembling the original pistol, Alton chose to name the weapon after the mythical phoenix as it had been reborn from the ashes of itself several times. In doing so he also honoured the memory of his fallen brother, Manyn Runda, who had been a powerful sorcerer and wielder of flame.

Following the battle with the Hag of Tornka Forest, Alton had Fury enchanted to bypass the resistances of particularly hardy creatures whilst slightly improving its accuracy and power.
