You know what would be the best artifact ever?
« on: April 12, 2011, 10:39:24 am »

This is a Dwarf flesh statue. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is decorated with bands of Dwarf leather. It menaces with spikes of dwarf bone.

On the item is an engraving of Urist McFellmood and dwarves in dwarf bone. The dwarf is striking down the dwarves. It relates to the killing of the dwarves of Urist McFortress in 253.

Then make it dwarf bone. More dwarves need to die for it, since logically flesh takes up more volume than bone (if you include the organs), and then it isn't edible art for those of the pointy earred persuasion.

148. There is no Gnomish Deathgrip, and even if there was, it wouldn't involve tongs.
171. My character's dying words are not allowed to be "Hastur, Hastur, Hastur"
218. No matter my alignment, organizing halfling pit fights is a violation.
231. I am not allowed to do anything that would make a Sith Lord cry.
240. Any character with more than three skills specializing in chainsaw is vetoed.

...well, I understand. Recursion - a dwarf making a statue of a dwarf making a statue of a dwarf... made of dwarf, with an image of a dwarf making a statue out of dwarf of a dwarf making a statue of a dwarf, and a second image of said dwarf killing a dwarf to obtain resources.

Not sure what are the spikes for, though. Dwarves don't look like that. Usually.

Even better artifact: This is a elf bone statue of a dwarf cutting down a tree. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is encircled with bands of elf leather. It is decorated with oak. It menaces with spikes of elf bone.

On the item is an engraving of dwarves and elves in elf bone. The elves' brains are mangled (As if they had any.) It relates to the mangling of the brains of the No-wood-goods elves by the dwarves of Urist McFortress in 253.

Well, obviously. Elven stench can be smelled across the land due to their infamous lack of bathing.

Oh Armok, is that what that is? I thought one of my dwarves ate a bad plump helmet...

Isn't it nice of us to help them with that?

So, bathing. Seeing as soap is too rare, you'll use magma. Did I guess right?

Magma just cakes the dirt on. While you get nice pottery out of it, it doesn't really clean them. To get that junk off, you need to use the power washer.

You know, those large, serrated discs cut the dirt right off! More effective than you'd think.
