Silvered Short Sword

Fenric's old short sword (lent to Silithane back in The Urina), silvered
edge-to-edge by Lash at her relocated shipboard smelter — her first
solo silvering. Green (uncommon), +95 gp value, rebalanced toward the hilt for
Silithane's frame. One microscopic speck of unfused silver on the off-edge that only
Lash will ever notice ("I wish I'd just done 5% better" — she means to fix it).

Session 6

• Forged over 8 hours aboard The Expedition Ship using the silver ingot from
  Lash's Session 5 shopping spree; chosen as a simple weapon "everybody can use."
• Carried by Silithane.
• The silvering doubled as a reminder that silver harms vampires (Ashlyn now
  keeps clear of the blade) — foreshadowing its later worth against more than ghosts.
• Pending experiment: Thalia and Laila want it tested on one of the dark
  elf's caged sea-spirits — if silver bites ghosts, it's a weapon against Laila's
  daily assassins. Nobody has told Silithane yet.

Session 7

• The experiment finally ran. Silithane thrust the blade into a closed,
  silver-lined ghost cage (a 21 "hit" that met no resistance, nearly overbalancing him)
  and a caged sea-spirit perished in a flicker of dust — confirming a silvered weapon
  harms ghosts (marginally less than pure silver, but still effective). The kill left
  behind a flask of ectoplasm (Thalia kept it).
• Significance: this is the proof-of-concept that the party (and Laila) needed against
  her spectral assassins. The dark-elf ghost-catcher noted the only alternative is an
  ordinary weapon laced with Firebrand-made holy-oil substitute.

Session 13

• Decisive against the grief demon beneath the Clapton's Hammer: every non-silver weapon failed to make the kill stick, but Draak grabbed this blade (wielding it like a club) and the silver dealt double damage, dropping the demon and freeing the inn. Confirms silver bites demons too, not just ghosts and vampires.
• Fenric had been carrying it into the basement (lent by Silithane for the expected fight); the party spent half the combat shouting at people to use the silver sword.
