No, that's not a typo; that's a pun.
In last night's DCC game on G+, one of the characters had but an awl for a weapon. That was awl I needed to get the awl puns flowing. When he lost the weapon, I said: "He gave it his awl."
(There was another, but I've forgotten it.)
The great thing about G+ gaming is that nobody can throw dice at my head when I do that!
Yes, I'm mean to my fellow players. But they still let me come back...
