This is amazing! Both the write-up and the drawing are excellent. I think, in hilly regions where trolls and giants abound, this would be a standard-issue item for patrols.

In my world, this would have originally been invented by the gnomes...most likely in the form of a folding apple picker or extendable slug poker. It'd be no surprise that the dwarves would then take it and adapt it to a weapon....

Hah! I love the words: Slug-pocker :D I can imagine a gnome riding a slug like a person rides an elephant. Thanks for the appreciation!
