Description

While owned by Lord Eshteross, Turmoil most often took the form of a silver cane made of solid metal with a heavy ball at the end.^[1][2] It was also able to transform into a beautiful curved silver scythe with a long thin curved blade^[3] along which light blue energy flickered^[4] (with the stats of a greatsword).^[5] The scythe not only did 2d6 slashing damage, but also caused 1d8 additional thunder damage on each hit.^[6] The command word to change its appearance was "Done".^[7]

In combat, when wielded as a cane it was mechanically treated as a magical club, doing bludgeoning damage.^[8] It appeared, however, to have the versatile property.^[9] Eshteross was able to perform a one-handed sweep with it that knocked an opponent prone on a successful hit; the DC was at least 13.^[10]

Twisting the ball on the cane casts Zone of Truth with a DC of at least 16.^[11] When Chetney swung it in scythe form in battle, he cast the spell Shatter with it.^[12]

History

When Bells Hells met Lord Eshteross in his fortified manor home in Jrusar, he was carrying Turmoil in its usual cane form, and he wielded it against them in a battle testing their abilities.^[13][14] Thereafter, it was always at his side whenever they met with him, generally in its cane form which he utilized as a walking aid.

Upon Eshteross's death, Chetney found the blood-covered cane lying on the upstairs hallway floor.^[15] He also found Lord Eshteross's last will and testament leaving to Bells Hells his trusted weapon "Turmoil", the first time that they had heard that name.^[16]

Trivia

• Matt accidentally called it "Torment" in "The Momentum of Murder" (3x39).^[17] Torment is the name of Fabius Bile's enchanted walking cane in Warhammer 40,000.
