Short: a dagger of red stalactite

Dropped: Cast aside in a  hurry, a dagger of red glass lies here, gleaming softly.

Examined:

Opaque red stalactite has been molded through a precise and lengthy reduction process to craft a remarkable blade of four keen edges that tapper to a single point. Carefully polished to a light gleam, the surfaces of each blade bear meticulous runic carvings. Skillfully drawn out and forged from bronze, the crossguard rises around the base of the blade resembling a set of talons poised to close around the blade. Smoothly sanded and lacquered ebonwood has been fitted around the blade tang securely, while the pommel has been masterfully hammered into the resemblance of a phoenix's head, a trail of feathered bronze fittings wrapping around the handle like flames. Firmly clutched within the beak is a small, tear-drop-shaped glass sphere, swirling languidly with shifting grains of red sand. Stamped into the crossguard is a minuscule wolf paw print.

Short: a scythe of shifting red sand

Dropped: Reverberating with warm energy, a red glass scythe lies abandoned here.

Examined:

Rays of light are refracted from the surface of the scythe head, formed of translucent, hardened glass which has been skillfully molded into the resemblance of a phoenix's wing, the hollowed interior of which dances with motes of fiery red sand drifting on sinuous clouds of yellow smoke. Each feathered tip has been drawn out and brought to a finely honed edge and point. Set to a lengthy haft of sanded and lacquered ebonwood, the blade has been firmly secured by finely hammered fixture of feathered bronze. Along the length of the haft wrap thinly hammered sheets of bronze formed into the semblance of flames, each one twisting around the wood tightly, offering both contrast and a sure grip. Capping the end of the haft, another ingot of bronze has been masterfully beaten and shaped into the form of a closed talon, within which is clutched a small, delicate looking hourglass that spins freely on a narrow, metal axis with each swing of the scythe. Stamped into the side of the haft cap is a minuscule wolf paw print.
