[X] Corpseherd Crook: This reinforced crook is designed to tame the dead, with a wider hook to pull on human necks and limbs rather than those of sheep. Weighed to give a solid hit. Inside the curve is a length of black rashwire that can be drawn taut to cut off trapped limbs or shear off unarmored flesh. Before better methods of guidance and control were invented, corpse labor had to be blindfolded and lead by the crook.
[X] Slug Pistol: A common pistol in corpse hunts. Heavy lead shot is known to strip limbs and puncture organs, and will make short work of nearly all corpses of human origin if it connects with the head. The cartridges needed to launch these rounds make the weapon a slow reload- but a useful trump card.
[X] Grapple Gauntlet: A hefty crossbow made of an unusually springy alloy purchased from the black markets of the Central Sea, mounted to a leather gauntlet, steel manacle and shoulder brace. The bolt is attached to a dull black rashwire that can support the weight of an elephant. It can penetrate most armor and surfaces, but releases with a specific wiggle of the wrist. Useful for fighting and mountaineering.
[x] Trench Burial Mattock: A woodman's skinning hatchet wedded to an adze, it can penetrate armor and flense flesh, making it suited to all kinds of enemies. The handle extends on a spring-load, allowing it to be held with both hands for stronger swings and better leverage. When digging impromptu graves, not having to bend over and get on one's hands and knees is useful.
[X] Guillotine Knife: Invented by Dr Guillotine, a darling of the continental parlors, the weapon is little more than a powerfully heavy, blunt executionner's sword. As corpses fear little from blood loss, it's necessary to shatter their bones to debilitate them. The chisel-like tip is sharp enough to wedge through vulnerable points and contains a pressurized gas nozzle to destroy organs with rapid expansion.
[X] Lantern Shield: A clumsy and odd-looking device that combines an antique swordbreaker, spiked gauntlet, buckler and lantern all in one- with a small mirror to shine a light in the eyes of an enemy. A good, reliable smack with the spikes can puncture the skull of a longdead corpse. It can catch swords and frighten enemies sensitive to light, but how many of those can one expect to confront when reburying corpses?
