Mind-bogglingly popular game series that you follow from early on and cannot stop, waiting for new installment like a drooling addict.

Long-runner soap opera you're too invested into to just stop watching it.

A fun little comic strip in the daily newspaper that's been around forever.

3/6

Who said it's fun? I didn't for sure.

I'm just waiting here for it to die horribly already so it will stop showing on my Unread Posts list.

[Draignean]

Can we make it into a spear? So it doubles as our walking stick?

C

Spear?

Badass crown. Hell, badass crown set so our wife gets one.

You send for the dwarves of Zasitost to come and work Sky Iron.

Less than a week later, their representatives arrive. Smelly, with unkept beards, stained cloaks, dressed in blacks, browns and greens, the dwarven craftmasters arrive. Their bald leader smiles at you, showing his golden teeth.

"Greetings, human King of Methiant. We heard the call to come and we knew our purpose before your man arrived with message, as we saw the descent of the star. So we already prepared to craft Sky Iron into a bauble; a necklace that could turn away flying objects from your persona. Or we can fashion the metal into the blade of a knife, one that could cut both mundane and supernatural with great force. We ask for only some money, as we surely get enough leftover pebbles of Sky Iron to account for most of our services." You decide to...

A) Pay them for creation of a protective necklace.
B) Pay them for creation of an enchanted knife.
C) Reject their services after all, as you do not find them suitable to your needs.
D) Offer them to sell the Sky Iron to them instead.

I'm tempted to say A, but then I remembered the persuasion necklace and realized that people would just need to hire dwarfin assassins in that case. Shame we can't turn it into a spear.

So let's go for B! Sky Iron Knife 2.0!

[Prophet]

A I think one of the Houlandin Kings died to a arrow? So having this would be useful.

[HappyPlank]

B, for all the magical and mystical creatures that shall plague our nation.

We're gonna die and lose it Buuuut it's still worth it

Nvmind. A

I recall a story, from about a century ago, about how this entire mess could have been avoided if a particular grand duke had a necklace of arrow protection...

[vastaghen12]

B

Seems just more usefull on average

Maybe it works on falling masonry too! Not to mention, we can let the missus wear it every once and a while too if it's pretty.

[Harry Baldman]

That's a good point, I totally forgot about the falling masonry. And if we score a really costly victory and somebody throws a shingle at our heads we'll be pretty good on that front too. Oh, and it'll be hilarious to watch if somebody throws confetti on us.

The assassin fire an arrow. He miss

The peasant throw the first tomato, the tomato lands in the peasant own head.

We could even make it a regular pastime where we stand outside and have our courtiers and palace guards try to hit us with thrown objects. Of course, at some point it'll go wrong and somebody will accidentally kill us, and then the entire court will go into disarray and there'll be several years of winter and everything will go to hell.

We could do something akin to this to intimidate our visitors.

[helmacon]

I am for A. If someone want to assassinate us, they better get close and personal. It's just common courtesy after all. 

[Criptfeind]

Idk, random arrow protection sounds all well and good but honestly "specifically ranged attacks" sounds more like a flavor description then a mechanical one. IE: If we're wearing this and roll a 1, sure, we won't take an arrow to the neck. Instead it'll be a spear to the gut. So overall doesn't seem that useful...

The knife also wasn't super useful, since it requires that we enter into hand to hand combat with a magical beast. So. Mehhhh.

C

I think we can do better.
