Difference between revisions of "Snakehead guitar pick"

Revision as of 23:39, 11 July 2012

An incredibly intricate, yet pointlessly cumbersome guitar pick, carved from stone and rumoured to give its bearer the power to get very sore fingers. It also makes a pretty nice blunt object for hurling at your enemies.

Tenacious!

When Used

When used in combat against a hard rock snake

Successful Attack

The pick sails true and lodges firmly in the snake's scales. It does not need (does not need) a microphone (a microphone) for you to hear its screams of rock-n-roll anguish caused by your (5-12) DAMAGE.

Failed Attack

It belts out a loud and tasty riff, sending your pick off course. Man, this just gets worse here every day.

When used in combat against everything else:

Successful Attack

The pick strikes your opponent a glancing blow to the head, knocking off a piece of their horn and sending them straight back to hell. Or rather, causing (5-12) DAMAGE, whatever works.

Failed Attack

Your battle-cry was truly awesome, but your aim leaves something to be desired. The guitar pick misses (him/her/it) by a long way and hurtles off into the distance, leaving (him/her/it) more or less completely unaffected, if a little on the deaf side.

Notes

References

This item contains a number of references to The Pick Of Destiny, a truly awesome 2006 movie/rock opera starring the boys from Tenacious D, for example:

The 'Battle Cry' of "KICKAPOOOOOO!" comes from the first song in the movie and is the name of Jack Black's home town.
The quote "It does not need (does not need) a microphone (microphone)" comes from the song "Master Exploder".
There are more, but seriously, figure it out for yourselves, I'm not going to give everything away. Sheesh!

As with everything in The Zweit-Childer Mine, there are also Guns N' Roses references. Find them yourselves too :)
