gyroscope

Man, this thing is spooky. Once it gets spinning, no matter how you try to tilt it, it'll remain upright. It's so eerie you half expect it to rise off the table and demand to be taken to your leader.

The name's a little misleading though, I must admit. It won't help you find any tasty Greek sandwiches.

When Used

  • In combat:
You wind up the gyroscope and set it loose in front of your opponent, mesmerizing it. The gyroscope then skids off into a nearby sewer grating. Dangit!

Notes

  • Staggers your opponent 100% of the time.
  • Originally contained a grammatical mistake, using "have expect" instead of "half expect"

References

  • The item's description refers to the webcomic xkcd (particularly, strip #332).
  • Gyros are a Greek fast food, the reference is suggesting that this is not a sandwich detector.
