Greetings dear dwarves!
Today the dwarves of Beastdiamond would like to introduce you to our latest innovation! The Bolts of Exsanguination.
Upon lodging into the flesh of your target, the secret (Vile Dust) ingrediant gets to work! within a few minutes it will rupture the subjects ectodermic layer and force their blood to leave their bodys in an energetic shower of blood. This wonder ingrediant (Vile Dust) even forces the targets blood out of their hair! Death occurs in utter agony in under a minute or your money back!
Disclaimer* This product works only against opponents with a circulatory system. if unsure of targets anatomy, damage and see if it bleeds. The producers (The Godly lenses) are not responsable for any deaths caused by contact with the secret ingrediant (tm) Nor the deaths of any animals or children who come into contact with residual resedue on their feet or if shot with said bolt. Upon contact with Vile dust, wash off imediatly or suffer a fast and excruciating death. Results with forgotten beasts may vary.
Production procedures leaked by an unhappy and since deceased laborer, found on a journel under a corpse devoid of blood with lacerations and ruptures across his back:
The Vile dust is a natural phenomina of this Terrifying Glacier. we were sent here to just found an outpost here at beastdiamond all quiet like to conduct some !!SCIENCE!! concerning the undead and minecart railguns. Top secret, very hush hush. The Allied Trades had been at war with several goblin factions on and off for the past hundred years. While we flourished, the king decreed a more ingenious device be manufactured for the disposal of our foes. tested on zombie corpses for full effectiveness.
Well. someone did their scouting wrong. Very wrong. This land dosent raise the dead, no, it adds to their number. Every corpse that litters the outside is devoid of blood, as if they had burst like a melon. Somehow we discoverd these properties when bolts that had been blown about in an evil dust cloud were retrieved. Before the deaths were too fast and obscured to really tell the process of death. Once we had the bolts, anything that had one lodge in them died horribly, but quickly. -Effective against one limb at a time presumed, the dust only affects that which it coats- This proved to be true even on a forgotten beast blood sucker. Ill never quite get the image out of my mind of that thing feeding on dwarves as its blood and its meal erupred from its legs and abdomen before it was put down.
It dosent appear to affect things without any blood though. The Blizzard man -made of ice- walked through those clouds and came out looking like a pink snowman. Thankfully he didnt spread it onto anyone. The dust dosent seem to be able to get through clothing, but animals who walk in it were the blizzard man has trailed it in the snow die horribly.... Its so cruel journal, i cant stand the screams...
Soon enought, we tried manufacturing more of these bolts. Building a secured area on the surface with fortifications and raisable bridges, we began systematically coating our bolts for all uses. Thats when we were seiged by goblins. The cloud destroyed them in one passing, they had dwarven turncoats. Oh armok the screams! I need to get out of this place before that happens to me journel.
I wont let it happen to me! even though were underground we get sent up to retreive the goods from the caravans that die here. Yesterday i saw Urist die by this vile dust. I cant stand this. The dwarves at the mountainhomes need to know what horrors are used to manufacture these weapons.... Ill try my luck tonight. If im carefull, maybe the guards wont notice me sneaking out. Since the manufacture began its been a once in you stay in policy. To keep this horrible secret.
The journal is coated in a pink dust. Your hands begin to swell rappidly with intense pain and pressure.
-Creative license, but this Vile dust does exist, and ill post my fort up once ive masterd the manufacture process to show you the results, this terryfing biomes cloud has given me the weapon to put down a forgotten beast with a single bolt, since anything that gets the dust on it will bleed out rappidly as if their blood was pressurized, and any bolt lodged into a creature will transfer some of what evers on it to them-
