Enchanted War Gauntlet of the Exalted Grull

The Enchanted War Gauntlet of the Exalted Grull is a charcoal-colored, angular bracer that fits over a crawler's wrist and can be activated by forming a tight fist.[1]

AI Description

Enchanted War Gauntlet of the Exalted Grull. (Right-Handed)

Item is a wrist bracer that transforms into a spiked war gauntlet made of orcish steel when the hand is shaped into a fist or wields a hilted weapon for more than two seconds at a time. This item on its own does not negate the bare knuckle skill bonus.

Warning: if you use this weapon to strike adherents of the war god Grull, you have a 1.5% chance to transfigure your target into the deity himself. Trust me on this. You don’t want to do that.

A bigger, redder, WARNING. Remove this item before you jerk off.[2]

Description

Once the War Gauntlet is equipped on the crawler's wrist, the crawler must clench their fist to activate it. They feel a haptic buzz up their arm, and their hand transforms into a "spiked hunk of metal" marked by multiple gleaming spikes. When they relax their fist, the gauntlet disappears in a puff of smoke that smells of burnt hair.[1]

SPOILERS FOR BOOK 3

The description does not mention that the chance to summon Grull is a cumulative summoning, meaning each successful hit increases the odds of summoning by 1.5%. After two hits, there is a 3.0% chance, etc. [3]

If the wearer accidentally summons Grull, it is considered an "involuntary summoning." As a result, Grull will be summoned for a number of seconds equal to the "vessel's" level + 250 (Grull's level).[4]
