The rock thumper is a fluff script that applies to miscellaneous items. It emits a sound throughout the local area.

Analyze

This is a Rock Thumper.  You can LIGHT this thumper, which will burrow into the ground and make enough noise to be heard throughout the nearby area.  It has one use remaining.

It gives off sets of three beats.

It could be altered with a long or a show, but must remain something that makes sense to be lit and burrow into rock, and it must make sense with the hard-coded LOOK description.

Its weight depends on the charges remaining, and it cannot be lightened.

Usage Information

Verb First Third
LIGHT You remove one segment of your zinc rock thumper, light the fuse, and toss it to the ground. The thumper shakes, slightly at first, and then with greater and greater force as it works its way into the ground, finally vanishing from sight.


Three beats shake the ground. After a pause, there are three more.

Coming up through the ground you feel three strong beats, then three more.

The earth falls back into stillness.
