Hoopak Mark II
donated by Thistledown Kendergnome
Description: The Hoopak Mark II appears similar
to a standard Hoopak, except that
it is made of steel and includes two
buttons along its shaft, and sports
a mesh instead of a sling.
History: The Hoopak Mark II was made by
Thistledown Kendergnome while
he was being raised in Mt.
Nevermind. Not liking the large size
and complexity of use of the
gnomish weapons, he instead
based his weapon on the notes
made on Tassleholf Burrfoot's
Hoopak from the War of the
Lance, with some modifications.
So far, only the one has been
created, as Thistledown does not
have the patience nor the
resources to construct another,
being on wonderlust.
How it Works: While not magical at all, it does
have a number of special abilities.
One of these is that the bottom
foot of the shaft is a sword blade
instead of a point, the last three
inches of which can be launched by
means of a trigger and a
compressed spring to a range of
100 feet, but only acurate to 30
feet. The entire last 2 feet of the
Hoopak are removeable from the
top by means of another button.
This can be wielded as a short
sword while the other half splits
into a tripod, upon which the
launching mechanism sits.
Now instead of using the shear
movement of the Hoopak to
launch a projectile, the Hoopak
Mark II instead uses a series of
springs and pullys to launch an
object in a way similar to a small
catapult. |
