Long Description

This is a large lump of <mineral>. Large finger outlines have been deeply imprinted into its side, serving as a convenient handhold for using it as a weapon.

Appraises As

Rocky as a mineral.

Acquisition

Trolls in the Copperhead mine smash you with it and throw them at you.

Notes

  • Pebbles can be chipped away from the rock with a pickaxe or hammer to make it lighter.
  • Each chip removes 1/9 lb, down to a minimum weight of 3 1/9 lbs (below this weight it ceases to be usable as a weapon).
  • Removing weight from the rock will not affect the judge damage ratings or available commands.
