[net.games.frp] Unusual weapon stories

okamoto@ucbvax.ARPA (Doctor Who) (10/14/85)

On the subject of strange weapons, this is a situation that
actually happened.

A party was coming back from a terrible journey from Mostal's
Graveyard out in the Tunneled Hills in the Genert Wastes.
Three scorpion men ambushed the party of 4.  One of the characters
was a Storm Bull berserker and he cast Berserker upon himself
just as the scorpion man hit his right arm and broke it.  With
no other weapon available, he started bashing the scorpion man
with his shield and proceeded to save the whole party by bashing
them all on the head, knocking them out!

Actually, when I first read this, I thought the Berserker's 
arm had been *severed*.  You can imagine, then, how I thought 
a weaponless berserker would proceed. :-)

Yeah, it's gross--you wanna make something of it?  Step back
while I unsheathe my +3 severed arm...


			"What do *YOU* drive?"

				"About 130 yards, depending on what
				 club I use."

			"Ah...a COMPANY car."

One of the cheers at footballs games is:

"Rip off his arm and beat him over the head with it!"

	followed by...

"Rip off his head and beat him over the arm with it!"
