The Right Tool For The Job

[theron]

So, there we were this past Tuesday night.  Somewhere underneath a desecrated temple of Rao on the outskirts of the wretched hive of scum and villainy that is Hommlet in the early days.  We'd fought some nasty undead and were on the trail of the Iuzite priest behind the temple's destruction.

We were also in possession of a riddle that made some odd reference to breaking a fourth wall.  In the course of our exploration, we found a wall that seemed to fit the bill.  What's more, it seemed there was a hollow behind the wall.  All we needed was some way to break through.

And there, on my character sheet, under equipment, were the words "Miner's Pick."  I didn't even remember buying it.  Sure, I remember buying a set of manacles.  That's just common sense if you're playing a barbarian.  But a pick?  I had no idea what possessed me to pick it up.  But there it was, and we got through the wall in record time.

The wall was covered with ivy. IV. But the other clues were followed, so win was had.

Picks are great for coup de grace attacks because of the x4 crit!
