Nut of Zulgra
This nut comes from the bronze construct Zulgra from the underground arena in Ashborne and still retains some of the properties of the savage steam cooker. Upon study of this ring, it has the property of retaining heat until it's called upon. It seems cool to the touch but when it is called upon to bring the heat it hisses as it sears the user.
This prize was taken by the party of adventurers who braved the arena facing off against Zulgra. Their names were Beastkin, Pog and Soma.

Significance
A Memory from before the promise.
Clack clack clack clack the bars of the arena ground entrance continue to drop. The crowds energy swells with each passing moment, people push to get a closer look at the carnage that is about to take place. Among them you see bookies taking bets exchanging pouches of coins and jewels and scratching down the takes.
“I have 10 gold pieces on the 3 of them dying in the first 2 minutes!” you see a off duty say to a bookie wearing a green fine silk shirt under a navy blue vest.
“TWO GOLIATHS?! If dey are anyting liek ingred, Zulgra is going down! 15 gold pieces on dem beating Zulgra”
“Ha! You can kiss that gold goodbye, there’s no way they are beating Zulgra even if they have two goliaths!”
*Make heavy foot fall noises*
Pog, Beastkin and Soma, your hearts are pounding
Ba-dum ba-dum ba-dum ba-dum
*Heavy foot fall noises*
and you feel the adrenaline kick in
You see a old man walk to an elevated podium, he has long whispy grey hair and his beard runs down well below his chest. He is wearing fine clothing however, something that a noble would wear. The pairing gives off an odd tone. He takes out some wire spectacles and you see him hook them behind his ears, he gestures to an elf behind him clicking his fingers at the elf. The elf fumbles what it is carrying and eventually gives the old man a piece of paper.
You see him mouthing words as he inspects the paper suddenly you hear his voice as clear as day come over the hums and thrums of the crows.
*Clears throat*
“LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! ENTERING THE RING FOR THE FIRST TIME MAKING THEIR DEBUT, THE TWIN TERRIBLE TERRORS, THE MUSCLE MOUNTAINS, THE BRAWNY BRAWLERS, TABLE STACKERS, THE GOLIATH BROTHERS POG AND BEASTKIN!

“AND WHO DO THEY FACE?! YOU KNOW IT AS THE BRUTAL BRONZE BAKER, THE SAVAGE STEAM COOKER, THE BARBAROUS BREAKNECK BOILER! THE METAL GIANT GIVE IT UP FOR ZUUULLLLLGRRRRAAAAA!”
Clack clack… CLICK!
You hear the mechanism lock into place and the grate is lowered.
**heavy footfalls**
Out of the darkness a giant bronze warrior standing more than 10 ft tall, you see with an athletic build, its hulking arms stand taller then either of the goliaths. Rivets hold down heavy pauldrons, plated arm guards and greaves afixed to it’s bronze body. Open cylinders on on the lower part of its chest and upon its graceful face’s cheeks whistle and hiss and steam blows out with violent intensity! As it stands near the entrance of the arena the crowd errupts into a roar! In reaction to the crowd the construct flexes and as it does more steam billows out of it. The crowd stand, pog, beastkin and soma are hit with an intense heat as the Bronze construct glows with intense heat. This construct is unlike anything you have ever seen.
