Very neat toy for shooting people in the face.. Piss off your friends and strangers with a suction cup to the forehead!

a whimsical wyrwood short bow - Carved from the rare wood of the wyrwood tree, this bow is of fine quality. The limbs are stained a light grassy green, allowing the natural grain to show through. The deeper green handle has been carved for a comfortable grip, and a pale beige string is connected to the bow's notches. The bow's most unusual feature is a long, extra string attached to the lower tip, from which dangles an arrow shaft ending in a red suction cup. A tiny clip serves to snap the arrow in place on the bow's lower limb.


You take aim at Chazym as you draw the bow's string back and release, sending the arrow straight for him! Great shot sticks the suction cup right in the middle of Chazym's forehead with a *THWAP*.
Roundtime: 5 sec.
Roundtime changed to 1 second.

You give the string a good yank, and the arrow flies back into your hand with a *POP*! A bright red circle appears in the center of Chazym's forehead!
Chazym is stunned

- Each shot has three possible outcomes
- Red circle, no red circle, or red circle AND 5 round stun.
- Anyone can be shot.. including GM's, merchants, etc..
- Red circle will stay on forehead for 15 minutes.

You see Chazym.
He appears to be a Malghava Halfling.
He appears to be in the spring of life. He has mysterious, sparkling reddish-gold eyes and fair skin. He has short, unkempt silver hair. He also has a bright red circle in the center of his forehead.

The red circle on Chazym's forehead fades away. (15 min later)

Loresong:

As soft notes slip past your lips, you close your eyes, and a sudden sense of vertigo overwhelms you. Pale evening light begins to grow before your mind's eye, and you see a village square. Half a dozen young elven children stand in a circle, surrounding a human child. The elves toss a ball back and forth to one another, deliberately avoiding the child in the center.

As you continue your melody, the image swirls, finally refocusing on the same children. It is night now, and the group of children approach a giant tree with dense leaves and a leaning trunk. The elven children are laughing, but a look of apprehension is on the face of the human child. You can almost feel the brisk night air as the elves begin to nudge the human toward the tree.

"Go on! Cut off a switch, or you shan't play with us again!" shouts one of the young elves. The small human boy whimpers as he is pushed closer and closer to the foreboding, tangled tree.

Unable to cease your musical lamentation, you continue to sing, watching the child left alone in the woods, tangled and frightened in the huge tree. Suddenly, his cries grow quiet, and his eyes fill with calmness. You notice a dagger in his hand, apparently intended to cut the switch ordered by the other children. With a look of determination beyond his young years, the human child begins to cut himself free. You feel yourself tremble as the image begins to fade.

Desperate to learn the fate of the child, you raise your voice and again offer your musical gift to the wyrwood short bow in return for its tale. The vision returns, but it is early morning now, and the human boy walks alone in the village square, cuts and scratches marring his arms and face. In his right hand is his dagger. In his left he carries a long branch of wyrwood. He sits on the vacant porch of a small house and begins to whittle at the branch with slow determination.

Images flash past quickly, the leaves on the village trees taking on autumn's hues. You see a group of half a dozen elven children playing in the square, laughing and playing with their ball. Movement behind a nearby tree catches your eye, and you notice a young human boy, moving with stealth as he draws back the string of a beautiful green bow.

Suddenly out of the trees flies a flash of red, hitting one of the elven boys hard enough to knock him senseless for a moment. The others stare at him before the red object flies back toward the trees with a snap! You hear gleeful snickering from behind a tree, and the leaves rustle as scampering footsteps fade into the woods.

Got an offer of 20m. Anyone else really interested? <-- as of 11/26/2006.

Not sure what your point is.. Last time I had several offers of 20 and an offer of 30m but ended up sellin it for 50 to Zodier. With some effort I should be able to get that again which is why I turned down 30 again from the same person who wanted it last time.

Odd, someone was just on this board (Zodier), and said that he was getting the bow back from you to sell. You have since then bought it back from him? I mean that was just today..

Geezus gawd Tsin, please.. for the love of hope.... PLEASE, could you NOT be completely full of crap for ONE, SINGLE, DAY?! :(

It's all I'm asking... is it really so much? Every time you do this... this friggin' Used Car Salesman 'little 'ol Lady from Pasadena' shpeal, I get nauseous and everyone else crucifys you for it.

Does it really get you warm & fuzzy being so blatantly full of crap?

One of my favorite things to do is buy back stuff for half of what I sold it for when people are desperate. Then I get to sell it all over again for full price!

Tsin is not a used car salesman. He sells Aston Martins (for twice their value while lying about or omitting their negative properties).

It's not 50.. No price is ever fixed. Negotiate everything. Make me a fair offer over 30 and if it's decent i'll take it.

I guess I just don't "get it" when it comes to things like this. I mean.. I payed 500k for my kitty cat about a year ago, and got him altered for free, with heavy use of descriptives. The Merchant REALLY let me push the edges with what I was able to do. I cherish my kitty in his crushed velvet sack... I consider him INFINITELY more rewarding and entertaining then some toy bow.

That being said... how could anything 'over 30' be fair? I wouldn't spend 500k on that thing, and obviously its charms are as short lived as its usefulness, or it wouldn't be changing hands so much?

I guess there really IS a sucker born every minute. (sigh) :(

The way i see it, you must really love this game to buy that bow for kicks.

- Anyone can be shot.. including GM's, merchants, etc..

Might want to revise this as well, as a GM can easily make it so you cannot hit them with it.. and obviously a merchant can as well.

But hey, you might be able to do it once in a while, why not advertise that you can always do it.

I've been able to shoot every GM and merchant so far.. I doubt they would actually take the time to make themselves able to dodge it.

Keep telling yourself that.. Seems to me like it's getting easier everyday.. Sold 250m worth of stuff this week for all silvers and didn't even have to take one crappy trade item to resell. I don't need the money so I think it's good to be patient when finding buyers for the more expensive stuff. I can't even count how many times i've sold something and a couple days later someone offers 25% more than I rushed to sell it for. Besides, money isn't as important as making someone happy by selling them an item they really want but just need time to raise the funds.

Now I know why they don't let you hire assassins in game as a mechanical function. Tsin would never be able to complete a transaction again. I think people would sit and wait for days just to keep him in a perpetual state of dead.

You must find that wonderfully satisfying Tsin, to be the focus of attention of so many people. I actually have a couple friends who pretty much live the same way. ANY attention is good attention.. very very sad.
