bottle-rocket crossbow
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!

Messages

You fire a patriotic bolt from your bottle-rocket crossbow, hitting for truth, justice, and X damage. POW! ZOT! BOINK!
You let loose a bolt from the blue, provided you've named your bottle-rocket crossbow "Blue." Blue's bolt hits for X damage. BIFF! BOOF! BOOF!

Notes

  • July 2007's special of the month from Mr. Store.
