Turmoil is a magical weapon owned in 843 PD by Lord Ariks Eshteross and bequeathed by him to Bells Hells. Thereafter it was wielded by Chetney Pock O'Pea.

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.
