Looks like a fine time for a reboot to me.

I must say, I had a bit of a fit when I last came on and read the abbreviated thread title for this thread (being at the top atm) for the General Discussion forum under the RPG forums listing. The abbreviated thread title left out the last bit: "...apart my campaign!"

All a dream
"You all wake up from your crazy dream of adamantine spoons to find that Hammer is missing from your possessions. Divinations reveal that a powerful illusionist has stolen it and for fun created a delusional dream for you in which you turned the Hammer into spoons and started scooping everything. No, I'm not retconning; it was all a dream. Yeah, I knows it all seemed so real, but don't be ridiculous. Anyone knows that since <insert all the reasons previously posted why adamantine spoons wouldn't be effective for this>, none of that made any sense at all! Hey, if you really want to turn it into spoons you'll have to hunt down the wizard and get back the Hammer, but don't go thinking that outside of that crazy dream you'll be able to tunnel through anything without dying of boredom first!"

Dang, beatten to the bard joke.
Anyway, my suggestion - level with your players.
1) Guys, I was mistaken, by the rules the spoon thing totally doesn't work, including, but not limited to: spoons arn't weapons and thus don't bypass DR as per the rules, spoons don't have a damage rating, they'd at best be tiny light and improvised so in addition to any attack roll penalties you can't power attack with them, and so on.
2) Honestly, I didn't fully consider the implications that letting you go nuts with adamantine would have on the campaign. Mea culpa.
3) That having been said, I want to retcon the spoon issue because it's killing the game. As I see it, we've got a couple of options. A - Poof, the spoons and adamantine are gone and let us never speak of the incident again, things roll on like nothing's ever happened. B - We rewind it some; instead of having the hammer of that revered dwarven hero slagged and made into flatware, you kept it intact and were contacted by an envoy from his clan shortly after news got out that you had it. They thanked you profusely for recovering it, and would like it back given that it's a very important cultural relic of their people. In return, you're in tight with their clan. Honorary members. ID cards, fake beards, the whole bit. Oooor... C - We scrap the whole game and start over from square one.

I *love* Magus Coeruleus' dream suggestion. "Dude, I had the weirdest dream last night!"
