Armory

This is a list of all the items we can buy or craft ourselves. For more info about the crafting system, see the Tinker page.

The standard currency is the fathom, the unit of currency created by the Tenebrous Church. Used throughout human territory and generally accepted by other races. Comes in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 250, 500, and 1000. They are retangular with a lip around the edge. The lip is grooved such that the coins can interlock and stack front to back quite securely. The larger denominations are larger in size than the smaller ones and each denomination has a different engraving on the front and back.

Melee Weapons

Melee weapons use the Strength stat. 

Name	Description	Attributes	Cost	Cost of Ammunition	Crafting recipe
Black Flame	A silver chain with a piece of anodized black steel in the shape of a flame on the end. The Flame has a sort of “U” shape to the design, with with two unevenly sized peaks. The back edge of the large peak has been honed to a sharp edge, allowing the symbol to serve as a utility knife.	Cutting 3	3
Empyrean Nail	An anodized black steel, non-reflective, fixed blade knife. Double edged, symmetrical, and supremely utilitarian in design. Useful for doing everything from cutting rope to cutting throats. Manufactured by the Tenebrous Church and engraved  with a black flame.	Cut, Pierce 3	15
Bladed Shovel	One of the oldest and most widespread melee weapons/tools; a shovel with a relatively short handle and a spade shaped blade that has been honed to razor sharpness. Used to dig into soil or faces, as the need arises.	Cut 3	10
Short Sword	Customary sidearm of many soldiers in tunnel combat. Short enough that it can be swung and thrust without clumsily striking walls. Has a sabre-like handguard and a sharp point on the pommel	Cutting 3, Pierce 2	20
Hooked Cleaver	A three foot, single bladed sword, the tip of which is curved to form a pointed hook. Often employed by hunters of animals and men, to catch flesh and prevent escape.	Cutting 3	25

TNT	Much beloved weapon, excavation tool, and accidental suicide device. Here packaged in wax paper as a fist sized cube with a long fuse. The bottom layer of the paper can be torn off to expose a contact glue, letting the charge be stuck to things.	Explosive 4	3
Explosives	Explosives (other than TNT) of various strengths. Requires chemical lab to produce.				1 structural, chemical junk (more junk => more powerful)
Smoke bomb	Smoke, in a bomb!			5
Flashbang	Flash, with a bang!			10
“Lucky Shot” revolver	Famous seven shot revolver manufactured by the “Lucky Shot” company. Well made and reliable, they were ubiquitous until the company owner was killed by a ricochet at a firing demonstration. Gained a reputation for being cursed, particularly the seventh shot.  Etched on the cylinder, above one of the chambers, is the phrase “And one more, for luck!”	Pistol 3	40	2 per 7
Ethral Rifle	Semi-automatic rifle of Ethralian make. Has stock made of pumice coated in dark red resin along with a distinctive spiral etched barrel. Surprisingly light and elegant, befitting its makers.	Rifle 3	40	3 per 7 (Pierce 3)

Shotgun 3	45	3 per 5 std (Pierce 3)
Glass Eye Rifle	A bolt action rifle of human make, very heavy thanks to its solid metal design. Has a rather oversized scope made with carefully ground glass lenses. The lenses magnify the user’s eye so that those looking at a shooter will see the rifle with a huge eyeball hovering above it. Both it and its ammo are rare: there aren’t a lot of long range engagements in the underground.	Sniper 3	60	5 per 4 (Pierce 4)
Bore Piercer	A rifle of absurd size, barely man portable, with built in metal spikes for anchoring. Fires a single solid tungsten shell designed to pierce the heavy armor of Bores and warmachines.

Slave Trap	Slavery is common in the underground, usually in the form of generational debt or as punishment for crime.

Life support upgrades	Upgrade bore to deal with things like temperature, potentially poisonous gases, and leaks of various kinds more effectively
