h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

This fenced-in part to a field next to Rx & Bombardier has several targets set up at different intervals towards the rear of it.

It is a range where different types of rockets and basically,- other things that go }boom{ may be tested outdoors. Much safer than when it used to be tested indoors.

(Male Elven Shadow Elementalist Akak)

*Akak enters and looks around. He examines the gate, then touches it and stands stock still for a few seconds. He then moves away and throws a twig at the gate. A lightning bolt and thunder boom, small but audible, can be heared. Akak smiles in satisfaction.

A small shed with a skull and crossbones that has been modified drawn on the door now becomes apparent inside the fenced part of the area. It is of a flaming skull that has horns on it. ..and with a tongue sticking out?

Akak: *Goes over to investigate, drawing a ShadowSword as he does so.*

: There you are, have fun and I am late for lecture. Bye.

Akak: *Pitches his tent inside the fence, then opens the door to the shed. Gets a few small items and examines them. He throws a few experimentally.*

What do these do?

Some of them just sit there for awhile, then explode.
Others explode on hitting the ground. A few just sit there.

Akak: *Gets a few other out Throws a few towards the unexploded ones, other at the targets.

Some of the targets have little different colored flags that click into place. They stick out when a target gets hit in a certain place or spot.

Some of the unexplodd ones that are hit then burst.
Not all of them burst into flame.

there are a few that oddly burst into ... ice?

One gives off a small ball of electricity for a few moments on being triggered, before it is spent.

Akak: Ice? Oh, well, these are a WIZARD'S toys. *Throws some more*

Dust, electricity, fire, shadow, and a scattering type?

These are in addition to the regular kind.

Akak: Very impressive. *Picks up a shadow grenade and examines it cloesly, then throws it at a patch of ground.*

It makes a spinning sphere of ...well, shadow energy when it goes off.

Akak: Fascinating. Could this shadow be ... manipulated by one who had influence over the shadows?

There are some more of that kind resting in a small pile in one part of the shed.

Akak: *Realises that he is effectively talking to himself. And hearing voices. \(Yikes!)*

It is just a symbol painted onto the door that is making a face... one hopes.

Akak: *Examines the symbol closely, then shrugs and consults the inventory. Then, just for the fun of it, grabs a huge handful of very large orbs and lobs them randomly around.*

}Boom{ }Bamph!{ }Boom!{ }bamph{
}Blam!{

[skull ghost]: "Aah."
*Gets stuck in a bucket*

Akak: *Gets the bucket and shakes it.* Are you all right?
