When Used
|
| You hold the mylar scout drone aloft and take off running towards your opponent. The drone announces, "TARGETED OPPONENT IS APPROXIMATELY <1-1,000,000> <measurement> FROM YOUR CURRENT POSITION."
As you get near it, you start winding the string around it snowspeeder-style, and tangle it all up. The scout drone gets pretty much destroyed in the struggle. |

Before you get there, however, that stupid tree eats your scout drone again. You hate that tree! |
Notes
- The number given for your opponent's position is a random number, and the measurement can be:
- akts
- angstroms
- attoparsecs
- bushels
- cubits
- drams
- fathoms
- furlongs
- handbreadths
- hogheads
- klicks
- knots
- leagues
- lines
- pecks
- perches
- picas
- red shifts
- rods
- sections
- stones
- townships
- In combat, delevels by 10-12 levels and stuns for one round, when successful.
- Fails 30% of the time.
References
- The tree that eats your scout drone is a reference to the kite-eating tree, from the comic strip Peanuts, that was always eating Charlie Brown's kites.
- "Winding the string around it snowspeeder-style" is a reference to the snowspeeders that used tow cables to trip AT-AT walkers in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.
- Most of the measurements are of distance. However, peck, bushel, dram and hogshead are of volume, stone is of weight, and township is of area. Redshift [sic] is a way of measuring movement in astronomy which works in the same way as the Doppler effect but it uses light instead of sound. The confusion of unit types is probably a reference to Han Solo bragging of doing the Kessel Run in "less than twelve parsecs" in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.
