I vote we put on the god damn glove after we get healed to find out once and for all what it's effect on us is. if we dont like the outcome we sell it to the guy and be done with it.
Of course, the result could also lead to us standing atop a pile of corpses, in the aim of crossbows. That'd leave very little time to sell anything. And once word spreads, nobody is going to want to buy the murder mitten.
So no more talking about destroying it before we see the doc ok?
It's the most relevant and least distastefull material I have at the moment. Besides, you have no power over me. But since you don't want paranoia, I'll bring out some more out of the box thinking.
If we tie a big enough monkey(that's been paralized by spine damage) to our chest, its arms to our arms and its fingers to ours as well, we could 'wear' the gauntlet without actually wearing it. Grabbing someone by the neck would be instakill.(As an added bonus, we'd have a legendary monkey pet)
Edit: Or we could take a small monkey, also paralized, and tie it to our arm. We could chop off it's unneccecairy limbs to make him easy to carry. And we'd get monkey meat to train him with.
Edit2: We could tie another monkey to our head and start a small scale breading program. We could make monkey sized armor for our monkeys from their childrens' skin. Maybe we could keep a few monkeys in handy in case one of our monkeys die in battle.
Edit3: Maybe we could take the muliated monkey's limb bones and make a helmet for him? And how about we make a mitten out of his other arm's skin for him to wear under his gauntlet. We could make another one for ourselves(from his feet) so that we don't need to touch the monkey with our bare arm. Anotheredit: We should leave the tail on for style.
Edit4:
Monkeys are hard to come by, and expensive. We should practise our (animal)surgery on cheap rabbits. Would baby rabbits be cheaper? Or maybe if we bought a turkey, practised our surgery on him, then used the remains to catch vermin, then practised on those?
Alternatively, we could get an undead hand and tie it to a stick.
