Otorian Battle Scar

This is the proud post-battle beverage of those noblest of warriors, the Otori clan. The ingredients of the drink are a closely guarded secret, but it is rumored to contain four feathers from the tail of a phoenix, the blood of slain foes, and a little grenadine for flavor. It has been said that drinking one is like being hit with a slice of lemon wrapped around a fairly large samurai sword.

Type: booze
Cannot be discarded.

Notes

• 42 of these were created by Jick and given to the members of Clan Otori for the clan's 1-year anniversary.
• They gave them away during the Otori week to top contest winners, and to selected members of the community whom Otori wanted to recognize for their contributions to Kingdom life.
• Cannot be drunk, much like N.O. beer. Also like N.O. beer, one of them has been consumed by Jick.

References

• The description includes a reference to the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, a potent mixed drink from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. According to the titular book-within-a-book, "the effect of the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick".
• The feathers in the ingredient list is likely because the word "otori" is often translated from Japanese to English as "phoenix."
