Bang Stones (Patreon)

Wondrous item, uncommon

A tiny bag of crystalline candies known for their cacophonous sound when consumed. This small leather bag has 1d8 + 3 small sugary stones.

Pop Pop. You can bite down on any number of these candies as an action to trigger their explosive properties. Each creature within 15 feet of you (including yourself) must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw, taking 1d8 thunder damage per piece of candy on a failed save and half as much on a successful one. If you bite down on 4 or more pieces of candy at once the DC is raised to 16, and each creature that fails its save is deafened until the end of your next turn. If you do not bite down on the candy in your mouth within 10 minutes, it dissolves in your mouth with a pleasant fizzy sensation and a soft crackling noise.

When Sacchariferous' storerooms were inspected, bags and barrels of these curious sugary stones were uncovered. Though innocent in appearance, their true power was made apparent when a curious guard snuck a taste, bit down, and was subsequently deafened by the sudden noise that erupted from their mouth. A devilishly deceitful treat for those looking to pack a sonic punch.
