[vertigo]

a flail weapon was one of the things J had not expected to see appear on the anvil.

I4J8ABvj
1-25 two-handed, effective against rock
26-50 one-handed, effective against steel
51-75 two-handed, effective against rock and steel
76-95 one-handed, effective against rock and steel
96-100 it's deadpool's nunchaku.

thalia picked up the weapon.

"um...do you have any idea what this is?"

hrog0afc > 50 the anvil spirit is shamees

[vertigo]

"a flail," was all J managed to identify. "it looks one handed," he said, noting the grooves on the item.

JfBXX3fd >50 shamees's face is emblazoned on the tip

2tsunz

[2tsunz]

She turned the weapon over in her hands, examining it.

"There's a face engraved on it, see?"

yVchRwup > 50 shamees is a famous historical figure

vertigo

[vertigo]

J vaguely recognized the face.

"he looks important," he mumbled. "has some sort of air to him. did he invent something?"

XSZMgJot >50 shamees invented something.

[2tsunz]

z4Ag6lz7 > 50 shamees invented electricity

Thalia tapped a finger against her lip.

"Yeah! I remember him now. Shamees..F...something. The guy who invented electricity when he got hit by a bolt of lightning while carrying a sword."

[vertigo]

J nodded. shamees the electricity man. he would try to remember this fact.

"try waving it, maybe," said J, "it could do something cool."

qFL54nw4 >50 using it creates afterimages of shamees's face

2tsunz

[2tsunz]

Thalia waved the flail weapon about.

0b85wxf0 < 50 something cool happens

vertigo

[vertigo]

J watched the weapon swish back and forth. something cool happened, but J couldn't place a finger on what exactly it was.

"look."

u9o4ar4X
1-10 it sends glitter spraying through the air
11-20 same as above, but fireworks
21-50 it is imbued with the power of electricity
51-100 it creates strong gusts of wind

the shamees was strong in this one.

2tsunz

[2tsunz]

Electricity crackled through the air.

"That's fairly cool."

She folded the weapon up and tucked it into her bag.

"I wonder if the anvil made this, did it know this Shamees? An electricity producing weapon with his face on it is pretty, uh, unique."

BY|OFE2s
1 - 40 the anvil didn't know shamees
40 - 80 it did
80 - 100 shamees created the anvil

< 50 shamees is buried in the anvil


vertigo

[vertigo]

"it is," said J as the electricity dissolved into static. "maybe it's trying to send a message."

J knocked on the anvil.

7T9Hk09o <30 it knocks back

2tsunz

[2tsunz]

The anvil remained utterly anvil-like and completely uninteresting.

Thalia cleared her throat.

"Anvil, is there a reason that this staff has Shamees's face on it? Are you trying to tell us something?"

1DPswk|4 > 1-50 shamees ghost shows up
50-90 nothing
90-100 shamees zombie shows up



vertigo

[vertigo]

a spirit rose from the anvil. for a moment, J was ready to hurl his shield at the image, captain america-style. he still hadn't forgiven the fletchinder.

what emerged was ... a soul. someone dead for many years, even though he looked as youthful as the day he died.

"this guy was on a shampoo commercial," J observed.

oILpRDVY
<30 shamees cannot speak
31-50 it sings a song
51-100 it tells the reason why it's there

2tsunz

[2tsunz]

The spirit's face remained blank at the comment. Perhaps he had no opinion on shampoo commercials. Perhaps he had merely resigned himself to silence.

Thalia looked at the staff and then the spirit's face and then the staff.

"Pleasure to meet you, I guess. How did you end up here?"

mVxIA1v0 > 1-50 shamees rolls his eyes
50-90 shamees knows sign language
90-100 shamees offers them his toupee
