bottle-rocket crossbow
This is a portable crossbow with a special attachment that lets it fire lit bottle rockets in addition to regular bolts. It's a combination of festive and deadly that could only be done justice by creating an entirely new word. I'd like to suggest "deastive."
Type: ranged weapon (1-handed crossbow)
Power: 100
Cannot be discarded+15% Moxie
+15% Meat from Monsters
+10% Item Drop from Monsters
Shoots Bottle-Rockets!
NOTE: This item cannot be equipped while in Hardcore.
(In-game plural: bottle-rocket crossbows)
Messages
You fire a patriotic bolt from your bottle-rocket crossbow, hitting for truth, justice, and X damage. SPLAT! BOINK! BIFF!
You let loose a bolt from the blue, provided you've named your bottle-rocket crossbow "Blue." Blue's bolt hits for X damage. KERBLAM! WHAMMO! SMACK!
Notes
- July 2007's special of the month from Mr. Store.
- Its Mr. Store description is/was:
- A nifty weapon that lets you shoot bottle-rockets at your enemies. Those bottle-rockets do -- you guessed it -- various things!
- This item was released a few days late due to NS13 delays.
- When the item was initially released, the +15% Moxie boost was non-functional and the crossbow could be equipped in Hardcore - both of these were fixed in short order.
- Allows you to fire bottle-rockets (red, blue, orange, purple and black) for 5 MP each.
- You are limited to firing one bottle-rocket per combat adventure.
- Using Double-Fisted Skull Smashing to wield 2 bottle-rocket crossbows at once allows you to fire 2 bottle-rockets per combat adventure.
References
- An obvious reference to Independence Day in the United States and Canada Day in Canada, since both celebrations involve fireworks.
- A combination of two words which form an entirely new word is a portmanteau - "deastive" is an example of such a word.
- "Truth, Justice, and X Damage" is a reference to the 1950s-era Superman TV show, where the Man of Steel fought for "Truth, Justice, and the American Way".
