I totally bought this ... It looks just like a slith spear! It even has a reptilian claw at bottom, and a little dragon emblem near the top. It’s also very durable, especially considering the price: $40! A fine addition to my weapons collection. Finally, I have a souvenir for all those times I traveled to that little island and beat the coins out of that blasted lizard king. I highly recommend this weapon, if your into this kind of thing. Edit: Should I have put this on the Avernum boards? [ Sunday, October 08, 2006 10:00: Message edited by: Emperor Tullegolar ] -------------------- You lose.

...why? I mean, it looks nice but why would you pay $40 for it? :confused: And this probably should be on the Avernum boards. Not sure which one, though. EDIT: I'm so confused about this that I even got the price wrong. [ Sunday, October 08, 2006 10:07: Message edited by: Nioca ] -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here.

Well, I'm a member so I only paid $30... but still. Sure, not everyone will be interested, those that are don't need to ask 'why.' Those know a thing or two will also realize that $40 is an unbelievable price, as $140 is more what you would expect for such a high quality spear. I just thought someone here might be interested because it’s Avernum related. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

Ah. So your hobby is collecting weapons. And no, I don't know a thing or two about it. Also, I didn't say I wasn't interested. Just wondering why you paid $30 for it. -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here. Needless to say, I failed. Posts: 2686 | Registered: Friday, September 8 2006 07:00 |

If you can find a 6-foot all metal spear somewhere for under $100 I'll be amazed. That's why I bought it: it was cheap, and I was nostalgic about Avernum. If I ever see a weapon or something that reminds me of a game I've played nonstop for days at a time, I'll buy it. I've got weapons from Diablo, Dynasty Warriors, Warcraft, and now finally Avernum! I also collect costumes. I hope you'll let me know if you ever find one of those robes that shapers from Geneforge 1+2 wear. I must have one of those. -------------------- You lose.

I love weapons. Mwart has some great stuff, but no Slith spears. $40 is a good price. We need some action shots. :P [ Sunday, October 08, 2006 11:23: Message edited by: Andraste ] -------------------- You acquire an item: Radio Free Foil Posts: 1169 | Registered: Monday, September 23 2002 07:00 |

Originally by Emperor Tullegolar: quote:Well, this is supposed to be "A general discussion forum for our company and games.", so you're fine. And that is a nice looking slith spear(provided you don't show it off to someone who knows what it is supposed to be). Now find a vahnatai waveblade and/or cloak, and Dikiyoba will be very impressed. :P Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

When it comes to Vahnatai things, it depends on how picky you are. I'm fairly picky myself, but you might be able to find things if you have a good imagination. Vahnatai cloaks are really just ponchos, so, unless you want it to actually be made of fungus, any old poncho will do. Edit: The $400 cashmere poncho I linked is a terrible example, but you get the idea. As for waveblades, while I would prefer one without the cross-guard, it is easy to find wavey swords with cross-guards. Action shots you say? Give me a week or two, I'm taking midterms at the moment but I'm on vacation next week. [ Sunday, October 08, 2006 14:25: Message edited by: Emperor Tullegolar ] -------------------- You lose.

Originally by Emperor Tullegolar: quote:It certainly is a terrible example. I don't require it to be made out of fungus, but it should at least be lightweight, brightly colored, and glow slightly. After all, you wouldn't want Dikiyoba claiming that a bathrobe is a good Shaper robe, now would you? Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

Was it really necessary to say it was a bad example after I had pointed that out myself? Whatever... hmm, bathrobes. I never even thought of that... Litalia? -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

I like weapons like that and have a few swords on racks in my room. I just can't see how people manage to keep up the money to actually get enough to call it a collection. Posts: 776 | Registered: Friday, July 4 2003 07:00 |

I think you could get a decent shaper robe from either a Buddhist monastery or any of a number of Catholic ranks and groups. Cardinal's robes with hood, perhaps? —Alorael, who would be more excited if someone found a shop from which one could purchase fyoras. That would be neat. Or a vlish!

Originally by Emperor Tullegolar: quote:Hmm... I could've sworn I threw in a :P to indicate that I wasn't being serious. My apologies. Anyway, here's a better Shaper robe. Far too expensive, though. Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

Interestingly enough, the bathrobe is even more overpriced than the wizard robe... must be that thirsty Turkish cotton. Alorael, why do you think buddhist robes would be good? I always think of this when I think of buddhists monks. What were you thinking of? As for cardinal robes, I actually already have some of those... I really need to upload more pictures of me. Yeah, they don't have a hood, and the little drapey thing on the shoulders makes it look wrong as well. Edit: Had to add in the word 'thirsty.' Had to.

That's why I want one of those bathrobes. You must be able to soak up an entire bath with it, and still have it fasionable enough for a trip to the donut shop. -------------------- You acquire an item: Radio Free Foil Posts: 1169 | Registered: Monday, September 23 2002 07:00 |
