Since they're perpetually that cold, hopefully it has a cooling effect to balance out the heat on that tile. How do you even make nether cap gauntlets anyway?

[EmeraldWind]

Someone-and we're not entirely sure who, mind-either modded or magnificently glitched the game and managed to create a sword made from the body part of one of the demons of Deathgate.

My recollection may be off here, but I know that artifacts can be made from literal any material, so a body-part sword is quite possible.

This should be mentioned that despite being logical... the demon blade was not an artifact. It didn't even have a name.

[Lightningfalcon]

What would exactly happen if you were to attack someone with that sword, AFTER not killing yourself through the act of touching it? 

[Mr Space Cat]

Assuming this is a generic short sword with vanilla modifiers for velocity, cutting edge, and force behind the attacks, it would really depend on the material it's made out of.

So the question is, can you cut things up with a demon's skin? Otherwise, you'd pretty much be beating people up with a stick made of demon...that's on fire.

More than likely the extreme proximity to the heat combined with hypothetical contact with the material will melt enemies. It's like a dwarven lightsaber!

[Lightningfalcon]

Would demon skin even have cutting edge defined?

[katana]

Would it be like old-version glass? Cuts through literally anything, reload game and suddenly it's worse than wooden swords?

[GentlemanRaptor]

Space Cat is right, it would hardly matter how sharp it is.

[katana]

But if the enemy you're fighting is very hot (after all, you made it from one of them), wouldn't it be unaffected by this heat?

[GentlemanRaptor]

Hell, the plan is for NCommander to kill a llama demon with it, so that will hardly be an issue.

[kefkakrazy]

So far as I know nobody was able to find a way to wield it without bursting into flames. NCommander said he had a theory but he was being coy about it so we don't know exactly what he's planning.

[katana]

What if it turns out to be a flaming llama demon?

Either way, good luck.

[wlerin]

Someone-and we're not entirely sure who, mind

Er, small correction--we do actually know with some certainty who is responsible.

edit: Ah, that was mentioned, nvm. From what I recall, the red monster sword dates from a time period when Terry's powers were not yet made manifest. As such, it was almost certainly the result of some other form of wizardry.

edit2: Ah, my mistake. Terry's advent was at least 3 years prior, with the frosty lava incident.

[Urist McDwarfFortress]

Ha! Terry is not bound by such petty concerns as time and its rational progression!

Deathgate, Overseer's Final Diaries - 3rd Malachite, 781
Since the deployment of FUCKHUMANs and the sealing of Deathgate, time has passed slowly.  I have had time to re-examine my thoughts.  In my zealotry and rage, I released the demons upon the world. 

I release the demons from their prison.  I gave them their freedom to take the surface as their own just as they desired.  I gave them everything.  Now they consume the world above while we rot in our self-imposed prison

Was this their plan?  To trick us into walling ourselves off from the world while releasing them upon the world?  We have been fools.  I have been a fool.

My wickedness, and that of my brethren, must be cleansed in fire and blood.

7th, Malachite
In order to cleanse ourselves of this taint, I've ordered a channel dug that will pour magma into the heart of Lower Deathgate.


A lever to release the magma has been constructed beneath the hole.  I shall be the one to pull it when the time comes.

Before the magma can be deployed, the tunnel must fill with magma.  Until it is complete, blood must be spilled.

[NRDL]

ABSOLUTE WIN.
