Today we finally got another piece to saving the world. We found and trapped the sea serpent and after 450hp worth of hits, we killed it. The point of this mission was to slay the sea serpent and cut out it's heart. I got two items from this adventure that I don't know what to make of:
I got one of it's smallest scales(still at 5 1/2 feet though). I thought I could make it into a shield, because of it's thick structure. If I do it will be considered a tower shield and take a -12 penalty to hit with my sword. Any other ideas what to make this scale into?
One of it's teeth(originally it was a big 20lbs tooth, I cut part of the tip so now it's hollow). I think I could make this into a dagger, although it is hollow. What should I make this into?
Suggestions will help with these items. If I can't make them into something cool, how much would the raw materials be worth? Thanks a lot.
I forgot to add that the new part of the tooth is about 1 1/2 feet long.
Can I turn them into any kind of weapon?
I actually wanted to do something like that with the scale but my DM brought real life logic into this:
"If you cut a scale it will break into nothing because the interior will be destroyed".
As for the tooth that is a good idea, thanks.
