This corner of the small shop appears to have been picked over very well by the last adventures who have passed this was. However, upon closer inspection, you catch the faint glimmer of metal in the far corner. Could there still be something of worth here?

                                         

                                      Which will it be?

Hammer of Fear (Taken from Bill Schwartz, Level 7.7 Dungeon Master Extraordinaire web page)
Hammer of Fear: This war hammer appears to be in poor condition if/when found. Anyone grasping the weapon must make a save vs. magic, If the save is failed, victims suffer the effect of the 4th level mage spell "Fear" If the save is made, the wielder sees the weapon as it truly appears. Description: To anyone other than the wielder, it appears to be rusted and tarnished, threatening to crumble upon the first solid blow. The wielder will see that it is in fact a finely crafted weapon, made of blackened silver with silver cord wrapped around the handgrip. The head of the weapon was forged to resemble a screaming human skull. Effects: This weapon is silver in regards as to what can only be hit by silver. Upon a successful hit the target must make a save vs. spell or suffer the effects of the spell "Fear". If the save is made the target is immune to this effect for the remainder of combat. Undead that are hit must save vs. spell or suffer the effects of the spell "Chill Touch". This effect is constant for Undead. The hammer is a +3 weapon to hit "ONLY!" Special: Cast "Fear" spell 1/day, doing so negates the combat effect for 3 rounds.
