The Shipwright's Innovation

While exploring the lower decks of a recently scuttled merchant vessel, the party discovers a workbench laden with curious components. It appears that a clever shipwright had been experimenting with the formidable cannons adorning the ship, attempting to miniaturize their destructive potential. His blueprints and ongoing work have birthed a prototype—a crude but promising pistol assembled from repurposed cannon parts and nautical hardware. Scattered across the bench are bits and bobs that hint at future modular upgrades, calling to any inventive mind daring enough to tinker.
