View source for Thrown weapon box

<table><tr valign="top"><td><!-- Please see Help:Item scripts page for instructions on how to properly create and format an item page.-->
'''Tinnoc thrown weapon boxes''' were originally created for sale on the Wavedancer in 2005, based on a forum post of a suggested auction item that was a worn scaly creature, such as a dragon or shark or fish, from which you removed a scale (as written, this was unlimited) that could be thrown. These are possibly also known as ''flechette boxes''.

GM Thanthyl used a modified design to instead be a spring-loaded box with built-in blade to shave a sliver off of a [[Forging#Materials Available|slab or bar]] of raw material.  These slivers can then be thrown, acting as a [[dagger]] of that material (including any inherent [[flare]], [[enchantment]], or [[item properties|other property]]).  As with normal thrown weapons, they can get stuck in creatures or vanish into the surroundings and be lost; if recovered, they can be re-used.

Off-the-shelf versions have different descriptions.  Several more powerful versions are in limited release--via auction, raffle, or ticketed event--and at least one of each were released where every sliver was:
* +5 (to the material used)
* +10
* either [[bless]]ed or [[sanctified]] 
For example, a [[golvern]] sliver from the +10 box would be a +35 weapon.

The boxes are belt-worn, and can handle a forging slab of at least 20 pounds with no problem, although there is NO modification to the slab's effect on [[encumbrance]].

==Additional Information==
===Box Look Description===
<pre{{log2}}>The cat-shaped box appears relatively unremarkable except for a small door recessed into the bottom of the box, and a tiny opening at the top.  A small area on top of the box looks as though it's designed to be depressed.  There appears to be a heavy mithril slab inside.</pre>
===Shard Look Description===
<pre{{log2}}>The mithril shard appears to be a small thin piece of metal made from mithril.  The narrow length and shape of the shard make it a perfect hurlable object.  It also looks incredibly fragile, and how many uses you'll get is anyone's guess.</pre>
===Combat Messaging===
;Damage to the shard
<pre{{log2}}>You throw a thin mithril shard at a rolton!
  AS: +36 vs DS: +25 with AvD: +23 + d100 roll: +85 = +119
   ... and hit for 10 points of damage!
   Minor puncture to the abdomen.
As you attack with the shard, you notice that it's been bent!  The performance of the mithril shard may be questionable.
Glancing blow.  Momentum carries a thin mithril shard past a rolton to land nearby.
Roundtime: 3 sec.</pre>
<pre{{log2}}>With a quick flick of your wrist, you deftly send a thin mithril shard into flight.
You throw a thin mithril shard at a rolton!
  AS: +36 vs DS: +53 with AvD: +19 + d100 roll: +29 = +31
   A clean miss.
As you attack with the shard, you notice that it's been bent in multiple places! The shard certainly doesn't look battle worthy anymore.
The mithril shard flies past a rolton, disappearing into the local environs.
Roundtime: 3 sec.</pre>
;Broken shard
<pre{{log2}}>With a quick flick of your wrist, you deftly send a thin mithril shard into flight.
You throw a thin mithril shard at a rolton!
  AS: +36 vs DS: -7 with AvD: +16 + d100 roll: +78 = +137
   ... and hit for 13 points of damage!
   Minor puncture to the chest.
As you attack with the shard, it snaps from the strain of being used!  You give up on the bent pieces, certain they're no longer useful.
Roundtime: 3 sec.</pre>
