About this model
A short hatchet with a dark steel head and a wooden handle wrapped near the grip. It looks practical and well used, the sort of tool kept by a woodcutter or a camp cook. It is about 1 ft long and very slim, a tiny item on the grid.
Scatter it around a woodpile, a hunting lodge, a ranger camp or a farmhouse kitchen. It works as set dressing that suggests honest labour, or as a clue when it turns up somewhere it should not be. Players looking for an improvised weapon will spot it quickly.
Ideas for the table
- A hatchet buried in the door of the inn carries a message from the local bandit clan.
- The woodcutter's hatchet is found by the body, but the wounds do not match it.
- In a camp ambush the cook grabs his hatchet and fights alongside the party.
