Subject: Teaser: Garrote Knives
Hello, everybody.
I guess I'll be the brave one and tease after GM Reidyn's amazing Nerve Staffs. :)
Coming new and never seen before in Elanthia for Duskruin are Garrote Knives. These knives contain a mechanism inside of them that houses a garrote.
>glance
You glance down to see a rhimar-tipped mithglin poignard in your right hand and nothing in your left hand.
>grip poignard
You hook a finger on the small ring hidden in the hilt of your poignard and give a sharp pull, a concealed wire snaking out of the hilt. Once fully extracted, the blade slides into the emptied hilt with a soft snick. Dragging the wire through a small groove in the handle, you slide it to more comfortable grip in the middle of the handle and give the azure garrote a few tugs to make sure it is secure.
>glance
You glance down to see a slender azure garrote in your right hand and nothing in your left hand.
And of course, they work while hidden.
>hide
Roundtime: 3 sec.
You attempt to blend with the surroundings, and feel confident that no one has noticed your doing so.
>grip garrote
Shifting your grip, you pull on the garrote's wire and draw it through the small groove in the handle to the tip. As you relax the tension, a small blade shoots out the other end and the wire begins feeding smoothly up into the handle. With a small click, the draw ring of the garrote disappears fully into the mithglin poignard's hilt.
>unhide
You do not believe anyone noticed you slip out of hiding.
But, Keios! My garrote breaks all the time! Why would I waste bloodscrip buying a garrote?
>cman garrote defender
You might want to get your garrote repaired first.
>sigh sadly
You sigh sadly.
>glance wire
You glance at a long wire.
>fix garrote
Stripping a long wire for parts, you carefully repair your broken garrote.
Roundtime: 3 sec.
But, Keios! What if I don't have a garrote wire handy? Also not a problem.
>fix garrote
Lacking an appropriate replacement wire, you fumble awkwardly with the garrote for a while until you finally manage to twist the stiff wire together to resemble something that might work again.
Roundtime: 30 sec.
Or alternatively, if you have one of those garrote making tools...
>glance
You glance down to see a slender azure garrote in your right hand and a pincer-shaped tool in your left hand.
>turn tool
You hook your tool on the garrote and twist, braiding the garrote back together in some semblance of working order.
Does it do anything else?
Sure, you can get it unlocked to get some fluff nefarious messaging.
>rub garrote
Keios twirls the azure garrote idly through her fingers, buffing at the wire gently and scraping at any crusty remains on its length with her thumbnail.
>turn garrote
As Keios holds the azure garrote firmly in one hand, she draws the slack wire taut, coiling the excess around her other hand in a methodical twisting motion.
>rub poignard
Keios fidgets idly with a rhimar-tipped mithglin poignard, drawing a slender azure garrote concealed in its hilt out partway before casually letting the wire slip through her fingers back into hiding with a small click.
>turn poignard
Keios casually starts cleaning her fingernails using the tip of her mithglin poignard, the ambient light glinting along its length.
Both the knife and the garrote inside can be altered.
